The first misunderstanding lies in not recognizing that the comment that started this whole thread is, in fact, making two claims and disguising those claim as questions. The rest of the comment, i.e. the non-question parts, reveals the true nature of those "questions". Implying that "even the very best minds" are somehow unable to discuss these questions is a cheap rhetorical device. It's what the Internet clumsily, but accurately, calls "debate me, bro". The second misunderstanding requires fewer words to describe: Russell's teapot. |

I absolutely love this comment, because it is literally and necessarily an opinion, but it explicitly claims that it is a fact.
This is what I was anticipating when I said: "The effect these questions have on even the very best minds is amazing, I wonder what will happen here..."
> The rest of the comment, i.e. the non-question parts, reveals the true nature of those "questions".
This one's great too - let me guess, you believe that in "the non-question parts, reveals the true nature" it is solely the words themselves doing the "revealing", am I right? Or, would you prefer to maybe not discuss that topic in detail? :)
> Implying that "even the very best minds" are somehow unable to discuss these questions is a cheap rhetorical device.
It is also true, and some might even say mean.
> It's what the Internet clumsily, but accurately, calls "debate me, bro".
Yup, and this is what keeps your culture permanently locked into Maya: the world as dream (like above where you literally can't distinguish between the necessarily subjective and objective - and this is under asynchronous conditions, imagine how you'd perform in realtime).

lol, what does this even mean?
By the way: Russell's Teapot is not a proof, but it certainly may appear as such to those afflicted by Normative Cognition.
