I know the propaganda and self-delusion are strong forces, but I still do wander what is that crazy factor that forces so many fine autistic people to go full troon.

@LukeAlmighty

would self-delusion just mean they hold an opinion you don't believe?

@Emperor1
Oh... A vocabulary bendier enters the arena...

Sorry for the joke, but you can slide definitions of delusion-opinion as much as you want. Is it opinion that we did/did not land on the moon? Is is delusion/opinion that a blind person thinks himself to be healthy?

I am tired of this game. I played it way too many times.

It is a thought that does not correspond to reality. Are you now happy with this re-definition, or do you need me to re-define reality? And why do we use english words in the first place, when latin word for mind has a completely different concepts included in it?

@LukeAlmighty

"It is a thought that does not correspond to reality. Are you now happy with this re-definition, or do you need me to re-define reality?"

yes, because here you have just stated a tautology

@Emperor1
Not by a lot.
As I said, the precieved, understood and physical reality are 3 completelly different concepts. How canwe truly be sure we are understanding correctly the things that we do precieve? And things that we do ....

@LukeAlmighty

so, how can you call another's belief delusion?

@Emperor1
Congratulations, you have just reached the point, where the philosophy ceases to be a useful discipline to analyze abstract concepts by deconstructing words used.

@LukeAlmighty

and you have just abolished your own argument

@Emperor1
No, I pointed to why I don't care about your vocabulary games

@LukeAlmighty

more like cognitive musings

@Emperor1
And yet another word game...

You're more boring then average spinster. They at least point to some precieved action. You just change words to push the definition into meaningless mess

@LukeAlmighty

so the difference between cognition and vocabulary is meaningly

interesting...

@Emperor1
I just said you're boring.

Damn... even the nazis in here had better argumentation for calling me a jew.

Fuck you. I don't care.

@LukeAlmighty

so much for genteel debate

will you now go back to pitying the sweaty masses for their "self-delusion"?

@Emperor1
Gladly

Nice talking to you. I hope the next debate will be slightly more fufilling.

@LukeAlmighty

ah, so nothing is satisfying for you

great line to use at parties

@Emperor1
Yeah... I heard that word deconstruction is such a great party trick.
