From: Brandon Loudermilk on 24 Mar 2005 00:02 Guy, you have offered considerable insight into the various falsifications/psychotic "thinking" paraded in "Hammond's" "Spog". You're time has not been wasted nor has your message fallen upon deaf ears. However, you must understand the entity referred to itself as "[Hammond]". This poor creature only believes that your "CV" can give you the power of "intelligent independant thought (or opinions)". You see, as a child (and, no, I do not intend to imply that "[Hammond]" is anything above a child) "[Hammond]" was taught that papers impart intelligence. Something that ingrained is almost impossible to change without "neuro-surgery", "anti-psychotics", and/or "intensive therapy". I find value in your assessment. And, speaking for other sentient beings on this forum, I applaud you. B

YOU'RE DEAD MEAT, > or just plain LUCKY! > ==================================== So now your saying that your god is the difference between what you can see, and what you might be able to see had you better vision? So people who need glasses have really big god(s) and people with 20/15 vision have no god. Right? Can we see your god if we film everything in high speed frames and slow it down so our witto minds can comprehend? Are you saying its like when those people on Star Trek were moving so fast they were invisible and sounded like gnats? Like that?

The above, circular argument doesn't prove that God exists, but merely redefines God as something that already exists. If you were about to prove the existence of God, you would *not* begin by explaining what God is, but by calling upon our already available accounts of God, and observing that such a thing exists.

Fergerson >>State your CV or get off this thread. >> >>Possibly his answer??? >> >>-CAL > [Hammond] > Yo.... state your CV Fergerson, or get off this thread! No, and no. Instead, I'll give you the opportunity to choose between your habitual arrogance and dispassionate intellectual honesty. I will not state my C.V. for the excellent reason that I have none. Now, your ego is driving you to seize what looks like the perfect excuse to sidestep responding to my quoted paragraph at the top of this post and gleefully announce that since I have no degrees, I'm not competent to read, much less hold an opinion on, your S.P.O.G. But that would be blatant intellectual dishonesty. You see, since according to the test you presented I am more intelligent than you are and hence according to you aware of more of Reality than are you, it makes absolutely no difference what degrees some institution might or might not have awarded me in recognition of successfully completing one or more of their programs, particularly since it's statistically unlikely that those who would be in a position to judge my competence would be at or above my I.Q. level. If raw intelligence has any positive correlation to the ability to comprehend a field of knowledge broadly and deeply enough to successfully complete degree courses in it, then no matter how many you have, and in what fields, you simply _could not ever_, regardless of holding degrees in them, achieve the equivalent comprehension of those fields I can in a much shorter time, even without the assistance of a University. In other words, _by your own criteria_, you cannot demonstrate your competence to analyze or rebut my criticisms. So here's your choice: You can ignore the fact that you've painted yourself into this corner; you can declare the I.Q. test you presented earlier to be invalid, then snip this post to its third line and reply that you'll respond to me no further merely because I hold no degrees. But dispassionate intellectual honesty will point out that if you continue to try to promulgate your S.P.O.G. on your own, it will, if it happens at all, take much longer than if you accept assistance from those more intelligent than yourself. Being passionate about getting the word out about what may indeed be the greatest scientific _and_ social discovery made to date is a fine thing, but placing your ego as its discoverer before refining, developing, and sharing it with humanity is mere selfishness. So, there's the grounds for your choice. How's _your_ humility these days, George? Will you make the hard choice and accept help developing your S.P.O.G. and its broader applications, or take the easy route of assuaging your ego and continue to go it alone? Mark L. Fergerson |
