someone will make a post and after about two replys it is abandoned. And the reason is because the replys all come from the internet, nothing new. Or the original post is something from the internet that the one who posted it agrees with so if theres any argument its against the thinker and not the poster. That sort of thing can go on forever. That only shows the innability of the posted to offer anything new. Louis

There is no intellectual exercise which is not ultimately useless. L.S

No use talking to a narcisstic bigot that has no intellect.

Hers a keeper for you guys. Its been said, "small minds talk about people, average minds talk about current events, great minds talk about ideas." And it has occured to me the only thing ya'll want to do is stoke your own ego's. I havevn't seen or red ya'll discussing anything except gobble de goop. L.S.

Among the human species happen to roam factions and individuals who'd rather be absurd than wrong - and many of them don't even realize it.

Beware therefore, of those who bang the drums of fanaticism, since it is a double edged sword; it closes the mind as it opens uncritical blind devotion. Do not follow.


Progress is a possibility for the animal: it can be broken in, tamed, trained etc.; this is not a possibily for the zealot, because it thinks it has nothing to learn. It thinks it is its place to dictate (to) others and put them right, and so, it is mere impossible to reason with it.

The zealot will laugh you to scorn in saying, that what it does not understand is not a meaningful proposition; "Why don't I understand it then", it asks, with marvelous impudence. To tell it because it is a zealot would only be taken as insult. So, there is nothing you can say in reply. Others might see quite clearly, but not the zealot; it will never realize.

Here then, in plain sight, is a potent secret, inaccesable to the majority of zealots; a secret they will never guess, and which it would be useless to tell them : the secret of their own zealousness.

that that discribes you to a T. Just my opinion, I didn't read that anywhere so it may or may not be true.
L.S.

that that discribes you to a T. -- If so, it is then up to you to make that case.


-- Just my opinion -- I see. Well, I am of the opinion that you are perfectly able to use your brain what it is (also) meant for. However, just because I am of that opinion doesn't make it so.


-- I didn't read that anywhere so it may or may not be true. -- The intrinsic value of the post is self-explanatory, it's axiomatic.

They can't be explained, well, many of them anyway, they can only be comprehended. And that's the paradoxical nature of the axiom; they are not of much use to those who do not comprehend them, just as they are not of much use to those who do.

I'm so glad you fianlly woke up and admitted to it. L.S.

Admitted to what?
