The Philosophy Now Forum

The truth is that I have pointed to fairly obvious logical problems with a number of his arguments. In this thread he had something about metaphysics not operating in a domain where we can clearly say some output is metaphysical (which is quite obviously a metaphysical claim itself). A secondary cl...

Well, the simple answer is, leave me alone then. By that I mean, stop giving me your opinion on me. That's not what philosophy forums are for. Do you understand? Can he give you his opinion that you are mistaken about something? Not really. When you do that he asks a chatbot to tell him he's right ...

Also, for the record, Flash, let's also remember that, even after your history of abusive behaviour towards me, I gave you the courtesy of an actual philosophical discussion. The best you could reply with was this masterpiece of a response: erm... That's all you could come up with when your reasonin...

Well, that "No" is very important. If there are no refutations, then I don't understand why so much of the discussion has focused on the philosopher rather than the philosophy. If you catch my drift. I mean no offence, Gary, but I'm not entirely sure I understand the rest of your point. I...

No. But it's hard to say sometimes what is dodging an answer and what is not entertaining someone that you're going to have to spend the rest of your Internet days squabbling with because they've been brainwashed in a way that won't let them see the obvious. And hey, sometimes I don't see the obvio...

You said for him to stop giving you his opinion of you. If he thinks you're wrong about something or not very good at philosophizing, isn't that an opinion he has of you? No, I mean a personal opinion; he can talk about my arguments or philosophising if he wants. But most of my arguments on this fo...

Can he give you his opinion that you are mistaken about something? Why do you ask? You said for him to stop giving you his opinion of you.

I'm not auditioning for some sort of grand enemy, and I promise I wouldn't pick you for the role if I were. None of that was interesting. Well, the simple answer is, leave me alone then.

Flash stated : You take everything so personally. My response : No, the fact is, I'm not taking your personal abuse anymore; there's an epistemological difference, don't you know that? It's over; I have put on my proverbial sparring gloves too. Flash stated : There's no reason why you can't become ...

I think the best path is for us to avoid engaging with one another in the future. I'm going to comment on anything I see fit to. Okay, that's fine, Flash, but I'm not going to ignore your abuse anymore, as I have been. If you attack me again, I will defend myself. That is the new boundary I have se...

ridiculous level of hubris erm... Flash, If that is the calibre of your response to my detailed post, I don't think there is much value in us attempting to discuss philosophy together. I am here to talk about ideas, arguments, and reasoning. I believe the record shows that I am not here to give per...

Flash, I stated : In my experience, metaphysics doesn't operate in a domain where we can say a certain event or outcome is actually metaphysical. Flash replied : The logical problem is that this is a metaphysical claim. Or more specifically, it is a meta-metaphysical one. My response : Can you pleas...
