Not ONE of you tried to resurrect the "the cake is a lie!" meme. I mean, ok, it's been a couple of years, but even so. Roll on Portal 2...

Fair enough, but I don't see me questioning Danielle's constant harping on about irrelevance as being a problem. All he ever seems to do is act clever on here. > > James likes being aggressive.

You can feel whatever you like, you don't know me from adam. I'm actually a very reasonable person, don't take fools gladly though. More people should be like that. > > <shrug> James, you've got a problem in that line. If I were you, I'd > be trying to sort it out. Sort out being a realist? When you have to contend with the issues I have to on a daily basis, perhaps you'll be a little more like me, look after number 1. > > And I know about this sort of thing, what with me suffering something > vaguely similar (but much much worse) myself.

I actually think you missread a lot of things, we all do this but you tend to come over more irritated than me. I just hate people who act all smug on the internet. We can all play clever, it's the people who contribute to a society that make a difference. > > (folk here might have noticed that I've failed to sort myself out - that > is true, but there you go: so I failed.

I mean that as well. > > [snip] > >> And there really isn't anything the slightest bit 'fake' about it. > > if only because Daniele is in fact a real professional philosopher (with > one of his hats on). So? Does this mean I have to care about philosophy? It's hardly relevant to this group is it? He can be a professional bullshitter, that's how I view philosophy all he wants. It's not an exacting science, thus pointless.

I can feel his irritation feeding his anger. Are you surprised? A clever man who's life is made much more complicated by blindness? Personally, I've always found him to be very gentlemanly and restrained, but I can see where there might be great irritation and tension. -- Peter

That was very pleasant to read, thank you. Seriously, that was kind. |
