That's not entirely true. As someone who is familiar with the Socratic method, the desired outcome is partly improved critical thinking. Granted that's not very specific and I don't have particular targets, or ways of measuring it.

So it is entirely true. You have absolutely no criteria for measuring progress.

tillingborn wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 1:53 pm However, another desired outcome of the Socratic method is to show that blowhards like yourself don't really know what they are talking about.

Just as well. A desired outcome of Socratizing Socratizers is to show that eve if Socratizers knew what they were talking about (which they mostly don't) thy still have absolutely no no idea why they are talking about it.

it's quite clear that a nerve has been struck.

When you keep having to manufacture the criterion and the evidence after the fact - it's quite clear that I am spot on on your incompetence.

Socrates was an incompetent idiot. And his imitators are even worse.

My working hypothesis for why you did is that you are a whiney little bitch that loses their shit at the slightest provocation. I do what I do for my own reasons, with idiosyncratic criteria for success. They change - sometimes because of experience and sometimes for reasons I don't understand. In your professional life, that may well be considered incompetent, but if you live by the same criteria, it makes your opinion even more worthless.

It's you who's interpreting as having some "significance" to your folk-psychology theory.

My working hypothesis is that you are even more incompetent at psychology than you are at philosophy.

Shame, are you losing your shit at the slightest provocation?

Not knowing your criteria for success isn't "idiosyncratic". It's idiotic.

tillingborn wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 7:28 pm In your professional life, that may well be considered incompetent, but if you live by the same criteria, it makes your opinion even more worthless.

Shame. Do you even know what your criterion for "worth" is?

Wait, wait. I bet it's very idiotic... err I mean idiosyncratic and it changes for reasons you don't understand.

For all of those praying that God would stop at 25,000 dead in Turkey and Syria...nope, He didn't.

How about this though...

They all deserved to die. Why? Because even though they too worshipped the God of Abraham, they didn't accept Jesus Christ as their own personal savior.

After all, come the Second Coming of Christ, they would have all been "left behind" anyway, right?

I don't have to be good at either. There is no psychology involved and it takes only rudimentary philosophical skills to conclude that someone who whines like a little pissant at the slightest provocation is a whiney little pissant that loses their shit at the slightest provocation. I mean look at the evidence:

Yep, that exactly matches my criteria for whiney little pissant that loses their shit at the slightest provocation.

Heh, you are even dumber than I originally thought.

Are you just going to keep repeating yourself like a stuck record?

Q.E.D retrofits criteria to facts to make up a narrative.

That's called confirmation bias you dumb cunt. It takes rudimentary psychology (not philosophy) to know that.

I didn't have any criteria for whiney little pissant that loses their shit at the slightest provocation before. Now I do. Thank for your help.

That sounds like circular reasoning.

Clear evidence that you are a dumb philosopher

So are you going to be a good scientists and test your hypothesis; or are you happy with remaining a dumb philosopher?

When is the provocation going to start; or are you as incompetent at provocation as you are at philosophy and psychology?

No, that's how I speak to dumb, dismissive, uncharitable sophists who don't know when to shut up while sucking Socrates' cock.

I speak very differently to 8 month olds who actualy push my buttons.
