I am always joking, but humor does not work unless it is logical and true.

So what do you do with Zen koans?

The biggest breakthru I made as a developer was learning to turn off the
cortex and listen to the gut. Zen is all about overcoming the handicap
we call reason. You yourself are an exemplar of how little can be had
from so much reason. A mind is a terrible thing to waste is two words
too long.

Likely? Is your email address @schrodinger.com ?

I find it amusing that you keep appealing to 'the group', as if they
aspire to be as intelligent as you. Yet you are the least competent
person here....

Who are you referring to as "We"? I don't think Espen Vestre has got it
yet.

You are demonstrating your mental condition again in other threads, so
it may only take some more time before you "get it"

No again you are posting falsehoods in an attempt to get me to bicker
with you I have never appealed to the group.

The "group" is the public forum --- comp.lang.lisp that you are
currently abusing to satisfy your pathological needs to bicker by
targetting me and engaging me in debate. Your incompetence in lisp and
and the technical issues make you blind to the fact that you are
factually wrong on technical matters as well as reasoning.

No. I will not. And I will explain why.

Here is what you snipped out and replaced with [blah blah blah]

The "group" is the public forum --- comp.lang.lisp that you are
currently abusing to satisfy your pathological needs to bicker
by targetting me and engaging me in debate. Your incompetence
in lisp and and the technical issues make you blind to the fact
that you are factually wrong on technical matters as well as

That explains why it makes no sense to explain why you are wrong, since
you are only interested in targetting me by engaging me in debate. Your
stated motivation was to mock me. It turns out to be indistinguishable
when you are posting something `wrong' as a genuine result of your
incompetence, and when you are trolling me for a response.


However when you are wrong, it is `obvious' to others (not you but
others). I will not give YOU the explanation because you may be 1)
incompetent to grasp it and 2) dishonest to deny it.


If anyone else is genuinely interested, I will address them, but I will
not address you in argument, since you are explicitly stalking me and
trying to engage me in argument because of your mental condition, and I
am not engaging you for that --- you will have to get help elsewhere.
