Sometimes, my brother is so ahead of my IQ, I don't understand his actions even when he explains them directly.

Does he use obscure/technical language when he does so?

Lol it’s a common thing smart people do because they know they’re perceived as being smart and try to maintain that image by sprinkling a few grandiloquisms or unapproachable jargon in ordinary conversation. It’s a thing regardless of your politics.

Oooh, that’s another word I’m going to acknowledge as useful and then promptly forget exists

@dave @Humpleupagus @LukeAlmighty It's like 50 letters long when we have a 3-letter word that does the same thing
@dave @Humpleupagus @LukeAlmighty that word is 3.67 times longer than it needs to be; I wouldn't call that useful

What’s the 3-letter word with the same meaning? Please don’t tell me it’s “lie”, because they aren’t the same thing.

@dave @Humpleupagus @LukeAlmighty any difference in the meaning between prevaricate and lie is purely a shade added by the listener. Routinely I find that these shades of meaning we put on things now weren't the same 100 years ago, or aren't the same now between two people. Many years from now such terms will likely become archaic, falling into disuse because they don't describe a unique enough phenomenon to actually be preserved.

You don’t think there’s a difference between using evasive language to avoid making false statements of fact, and actually making said false statements?

@dave Evasiveness is worse. When I ask for people’s opinions online I’m not hoping for them to water those opinions down out of politeness. I’m hoping that they belt out the most schizophrenic, edgy shit we all know they actually believe. For example, you believe it’s fundamentally okay to genocide white people in spite of being one. That’s some crazy shit right there.

@bajax @Humpleupagus @LukeAlmighty

Why are you using these SJW-tier debate tactics? Telling me to my face that I believe some heinous shit based on the worst possible interpretation of a far more reasonable statement makes it seem like you just want to start drama. So does jumping unprompted into this thread to make the aforementioned accusation.

“Slaves are justified in using deadly force to secure their freedom from their oppressors” “Oh, so you support white genocide then.”

is just as retarded and obnoxious as

“Black people as a demographic commit more crimes on average” “Oh, so you support white supremacy then.”

Quit jumping into threads and using underhanded debate tactics to try to get me to agree that mass murder of innocent people is a justified response to grievances about “anti-white” DIE policies. It’s not going to happen.

Because
int main()
{
printf("Hello World");
return 0;
}
And it goes from there. Logic has the property of scale. If you know individual rules, you can understand response in any situation you can immagine.

That is the power of logic. Neetche asks you about the rules you use to decide your way in life. Extreme examples just help him define the rules better.
