John said:
I don't think stupidity is a real thing. It's just an assesment along a
relative scale, right? By that measure, I'm not stupid.
dmb says:
The fact that there are various degrees of stupidity does not mean it isn't "a
real thing". Illness and poverty come in various degrees too but that doesn't
mean they're unreal. That's what I.Q. tests are supposed to measure, obviously,
and the various scores are used to calculate "average intelligence". Your
denial is quite absurd. I even dare to say it's stupid enough to demonstrate
the falsity of your claim.
John continued:
.... what am I supposed to answer? You wanna see my MENSA card? My SAT's?
Who cares? the point is philosophy and if you define intellect by IQ alone, I
don't know what to say except...
dmb says:
Who defines intellect by IQ alone? Not me. And it seems you've carefully
avoided every opportunity to demonstrate your understanding and intelligence.
Like I said, the problem is your refusal to engage with the substance of the
criticisms. Instead of responding to the things that people actually say in
this forum, you choose to do battle with misconceptions and straw men of your
own making. Your replies invariably evade the actual problems listed by your
critics. Stupidity would explain this but it could explained by
irresponsibility, dishonesty, cowardice, pranksterism, or psychopathy. I don't
know WHY you're failing to respond intelligently, I just know that you ARE
failing to do so. I know this because I've witnessed it and I am presently
complaining about yet another case. Nobody asked about your IQ but lots of
people have made lots of very specific criticisms about your statements and
claims. That is what you are failing to deal with yet again, this time
beginning with a
patently absurd denial.
Do you really not understand how unflattering this is to you? Do you get
nutrients from the contempt of others, or what? It's almost like you WANT
people to dismiss you as an ignorant troll. It's like somebody has threatened
to hurt your loved ones if you ever say anything that makes sense. WTF?
