Yes, I did, and that's why I vanished from this forum. The people on this forum are really no different from the lotto ticket buyers in my own community in the real-time world. (hint: thinkers don't buy lottery tickets).

I didn't feel "abused" and I don't think that I'm wrong--my point was that most people don't ever think, and they survive just fine--and that's my whole theory--in America today, one need not think ever to survive. What was so surprising is the negative reaction from just about everyone on this...

Donald Trump is a stable genius, believe me. Many, many people say so. He's a tremendous genius, many tremendous people are saying it. If you don't agree, then you hate America. Donald Trump is America. Trump is playing multi-dimensional chess, while everyone in the media is thinking its...

If you're in the Deep South or Kansas, they'll search your car, and likely arrest you and charge you with felony possession of Schedule II narcotics. You'd have to get a lawyer and let the judge and prosecutor straighten everything out, and would likely cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars...

So true. Several months ago, I posted my own speculations about a post-cognitive America--a society where thinking is no longer necessary to survive. I was beat up all over this message board for attempting to develop an original idea. I was called every name in the book, and I was even...

I fail to understand why you think this is about me. Are you so unfamiliar with a defense of a line of argumentation that you become immediately suspicious and think that I'm in some way doing this to make myself look good or smart or something? Is that what people do when they come up with an...

How am I defending my ego? Let me reiterate, I'm not arguing about myself, my character, my intelligence. You misconstrue my argument. It's not about me, it's about us: humans.

True. But here's the rub. Back in the old days, one had to really think and plan out food for the winter, how many plants to grow and of what variety, and one had to take in the possibility of crop failure. One also had to leave some land fallow while other land would be put into cultivation...

Television is part and parcel of the non-thinking age we're headed toward. I'd say the post-cognitive age's onset was probably with all forms of popular culture, perhaps even nickelodeons, dime novels, and mass advertising. I've take great care in my posts to not use absolutes. I'm didn't write...

The thinkers have to stick together. If my argument has any worth at all, our numbers are quickly declining.

They are hypocrites on states' rights whether a crackdown legal pot develops or not. The very fact that Mr. Secessions, a man who shouts "states' rights" at the top of his lungs every time he gets out of bed only agrees with one state right: the ability of states to discriminate against...

Inactive and un-stimulated brain activity has been a suspected cause of dementia. Many medical doctors who study and treat case of dementia claim that reading and doing problem-solving exercises slows the progression of the disease. It's one reason why King Donald is a moron--he hasn't ever had...

Yes, I agree. And I would say this is function of mis-allocation of resources. When the wealthy favor themselves and privilege their own class, the rest of the people are mere worker bees. When the worker bees put together thought, formed unions, the wealthier classes used government to crack...

Again, you misrepresent my position. Not once did I write that all students are afraid of critical thinking. Rather, I would argue that critical thinking is not the primary learning objective of most courses taken by students at the secondary or higher education level. It's not because that...

Because I never wrote that I'm smarter than anyone else, and I never wrote that using tech makes one stupid.

So this is what I've been writing about on this thread--how social media and message board users misrepresent the opinions of others because they're more and more incapable of thinking about the meaning of words. If you were to actually read my posts on this thread instead of just following the...

I see that it makes you feel good about yourself and is entertainment for you to go online and insult strangers without reason or cause.

To make you insult me.

The GOP is split between Tea Party fanatics and old stalwarts like McCain. The Tea Party is more aligned with the Trump monarchy. I agree, we don't know. But as I stated, I'm pessimistic. The USA has a really weak system, and Trump is demonstrating that.

So how does insulting me advance your cause?
