You do raise many valid points. But the problem for me is that it's impossible to substantively discuss anything with you.
Oh, I know my patience is...somewhat...limited =P
Because, with few exceptions, you seem just so certain that you're right.
But is that a big problem? I assume the vast majority of people think they are right. Even you have made a few claims about political anarchy and quantum mechanics that you defended in a rather...incomplete way.
True. Gave up. I do have little patience for political theory.
Given my background as a scientist and esthole,
That would beg the question, what is science? By science do you mean narrow technical questions that can be investigated by experiment? Well, in that case I wouldn't mind being more tolerant, open minded and polite.
Anything that can't be investigated by experiment is bullshit. Or at least, is just opinion. Even much pure mathematics is suspect.
But that's not the kind of 'science' that's usually discussed in this list. The stuff discussed in this list, apart from computing stuff is mostly political and philosophical. So, when people come up with notions that are patently absurd, like, "obey google's terms of service", I tend to...abuse them.
(I can't find esthole in the dictionary, I can't figure out what word you misspelt, if that's a misspelling, and I can't figure out the pun, if it is a pun... =/ )
I'm referring to est, which now goes by Landmark Education. It styles itself as applied ontology. And it's quite a kludge of existentialism, Zen and Dale Carnegie. And concepts from Scientology, stripped of the mystical bullshit. But it's quite effective, in my experience. But you need to keep in mind that it's an extremely proselytory meme complex. The goal is transforming humanity, one share at a time.
I have little patience for that attitude.
So your patience is limite too =P
It's pointless, and I have more interesting things to do.
Well, you are not forced to disuss anything with me =P
Nope :)
Oh and there even are lunatics like cyber-swine here...
At least they keep it short, and sometimes even funny ;)
