“I'm stupider than a lot of people give me credit for!” James Riley

Can you say that?

If you make a habit of self-criticizem, as I have, you get into the habit of being just as critical of others, but although you might learn to live like that, other's, who habitually flatter themselves, will not tolerate it. I learnt to also not give a shit about that.
When I was very small, I found people's behavior very odd because it really does not help them.
I remember when I was small, my mother and father arguing about a word, and I was amazed and said, there is a dictionary downstairs, and that made them both mad at me. I guess some people just like to argue.

Arguing with others is like arguing with your own shadow. It's pointless. So all we can do is point to the pointlessness of argumentation, and to recognise that words are empty mentation, or silence heard as sound, or sound heard as words, all likened to a boxing match appearing in the land of shadows by lots of mysterious looking shadow people who have no idea what they are talking about, and mostly, no idea what anything is, including themself.

There you go. Trying to top the world in irrelevant speech.

If a mind's only power is information processing, every behavior is a product of speech. But I see the idea is over your head. It is never about what the world is doing, it is always about what you do with it. If you are really stupid, that is how you see the world, it is not the world.
By nature, by physics every action creates an equal reaction. Your reaction reveals you. Your reaction is a commensurate response of your intelligence.
You should be infinitely more afraid of yourself, than the world.

That is the difference between self criticism and self flattery. You are insane when you flatter yourself. I grant that we are often delighted to go mad on occasion, but for some reason, too many people when they float off are never affected by the gravity of the situation and thus never return. They simply float away into the bananosphere.

Nah, it’s just the recognition that you are a bullshit meme generator. Full of bs. Empty of knowledge, no one knows what anything is. It’s all just hot air rising out of a barren desert.

I am glad you said that, it is for people such as yourself, that I do my work. As you know, my work is posted on the Internet Archive under Phil8659. Tht work gives you the opportunity to prove your words. Take any of the geometry I produced, which has never been done before, and disprove any of it, using the same tools I do, two globally recognized math programs.

I would love to see your result.
Now, everyone expects your blowhard response, you can prove them wrong too, and show them the majesty of your mind.

Defend your work, it’s all yours. Your ego will never allow it to be body slammed into the thin air from where it spawned. And that you can be certain of, being the majestical nature of delusional possession. One would rather hang onto one’s delusion, than face the reality of the no show show.

Oh, so sad, there you go with a blowhard response. My words are defended, by four systems of Grammar, which I posted. Now you are claiming that you can wisp them away at the wave of your mouth. It is well known that your mouth is so big it covers your ears. So, put forth a manly effort to think and try again. So the world you are a man, and not a monkey.

So I better look like I’m good at my job, just for you so you don’t have to face your own delusion, and see that you have wasted your time creating my job role.

What modesty, just like a dog wanting to be petted! You have, in your mind, perfected your art long ago. So, hump that leg, again!
