Who does a better job of pretending?

[Philosophy Explorer]

There are three finalists in this competition.

First we have Robert Merlin Evenson. He puts up threads left and right in connection with religion, politics and economics with his unique viewpoints, so unique that many accuse him of being insane. Often he fails to explain the basis for his assertions, using "Divine Guidance" as his justification.

Next we have Bill Wiltrack. He seems to have a flair for putting up pseudophilosophical threads with links that often just make sense to him, links that put up clips and pictures and show disrespect towards humanity and fellow members.

Lastly we have HexHammer. Noted for being respondent to threads while not posting any of his own, he accuses many of not doing philosophy while unable to do any of his own. A self-proclaimed genius (which bears no relationship to philosophy), he feels entitled to call others "retards" and mangle the English language. Since he continually claims this website doesn't do philosophy, many wonder about Hex's true motives in coming to this website.

So who deserves the title of the Great Pretender?

Comparing me to BW is absurd, you should know that ..oh wait you don't, because you can't comprehend it.

[Philosophy Explorer]

When you compare me to BW, it only shows that you are devoid of ANY intellect! ..and must be described as a complete retard! On several occations, I've shown you good philosophy, but you are unable to comprehend that.

I just wonder how one can be devoid of intellect like you.

So much for your claiming you put me on your foe list.

Thank you for your participating vote (Hex voted for BW).

Bob is a zealot and Hex is a critic, but Bill is a liar and a thief.

Going over and over your delusions does not make them the truth.

If I realize that we are all thieves and that we are all liars...we are ALL pretenders...what does that make the individuals that have not yet been able to understand these truths?

What you think you "realize", and whatever "truths" you think other people "don't understand yet", is all based on your perspective and beliefs. You like to cast your perspective like a blanket of absolutes as if it were the truth of all reality, maybe so that you can feel like you know ultimate truth. You seem to ignore that: 1) There are naturally vast ranging degrees to everything, 2) You are NOT representative of everyone, and 3) you do NOT see from all perspectives.

So it actually looks like all of these things you say about being a liar and a thief and living in Hell, etc., are simply revelations of your own reality, which you are trying to project outward, so that you can think it's universal and normal. It's not. It's simply ONE WAY of seeing and being. It would be ABSURD to think that there is only one way of seeing and being... but you seem to think that. Who you are is not who everyone else is.

"If I realize..."

Your realization is wrong. That you won't, or can't, see this sez an awful lot about you and absolutely nuthin' about anyone else.
