@pinkdrunkenelephants Look, I commend and admire the power of thought-terminating cliches, they are useful (and this is part of my point as well), but still, I'd like an honest an answer:
Where Do You Think The Root Of All Authority Is?
I have my answer (or at least what I think describes the answer the best), but I'd like to hear from you.
I can't hear you over the ruckus of the court bailiffs dragging you out of the courtroom.
๐งโโ๏ธ Next case. Oh god, did Mrs. Dobbs's dog shit all over Jack Smith's front yard again? I swear to god, don't the fucking cleaning robots do anything worth a damn anymore?
@pinkdrunkenelephants Okay, whatever, looks like you don't want to think about it, which is also fine, it's kinda tough question.
You're refusing to think about what I am explaining to you, and you're doing it deliberately because you think the act of disputing a thing disproves a thing, when in fact it does not. The dictionary is gonna be the final authority on what words mean whether you or I like it or not. Words mean what they mean whether we like it or not. Objective reality does not simply go away because you deny it, and any system we build in the future must accept that as a basic tenet to be able to function.
The debate's been over a while ago. I know you're just going to try to keep talking to get the last word though, and that not only is my point, it's also pretty shameful and against the spirit of the thread -- we actually are trying to have friendly and meaningful debates that you're interrupting because you think concern trolling gives your solipsism validity.
Good day.
@pinkdrunkenelephants Solipsism? What?
Do you even understand what I'm trying to say?
