wtf are you talking about me about something that happened like 5 months ago? and how did you know i have Asperger's? well it doesn't matter. consider this: in formal logic, a self-referential system cannot validate itself. For example, Lea, you have a giant fucking spoon on your head and there's a ton of skittles and applesauce in it...mmm yumm and you're going "wtf? no there isn't." In "reality", or based on all available evidence we can perceive, you and Rage come to the conclusion that I am batshit nuts. Similarly, the Bible refers to itself...etc. The thing is, logic is a self-referential system as well. I am using logic right now to form this very argument, thereby my point is self-defeating (I think), but nonetheless, significant. Our application of logic is a method, and logical, scientific thinking is merely study of the method.

Totally. I didn't see the cost though, although I barely got space for more coffee cups. I suppose we should send one to stupidstuff ;D

I know a guy with Aspberger's too, but highly functional though, so he isn't that bad. He's actually quite smart although very eccentric. I think we had a girl with Aspberger's or similar syndrome in our high school class, that was a bit annoying. She had demanded to be in a normal class, but it was at the same time so obvious she couldn't deal with it. The educational standard was too high for her among other things, and I remember she got very upset once during social science when we discussed different kinds of political systems and there was criticism brought up against communism (she was a die hard communist). She was transfered again next year though, I don't think she passed many of her exams. Barely history, her favorite subject too boot. I've read that they are usually very good at remembering stuff about their favorite subjects, but maybe she was just poor expressing herself. She wrote very slow as well which wasn't good when we had time-limited exams of say, 2 hours either.

Well, for my own sake I will stay away a bit from ACP (but VERY HARD!), at least so I won't flood the poor guy. If he would at least show some interest in what I've had to say beyond his false notions of what I am saying, then yes, I don't mind talking to him again, but at least be damn reasonable. I also agree that ElArte is pretty bad at times :D *waves down below* But I just usually step out a bit when the debate gets too intense. I just think it's kind of stupid he couldn't even take the opportunity you gave him for a reconsideration but flushed it into the toilet because he seemed to think that he already knew what there was to know and he already understood everything properly.

It helps to distance yourself from the debate for a bit, for sure. I regret I didn't post that thing right away instead of those two half-assed posts I made at first. And indeed, I wonder what "faults" of our characters he will list now. Surely he will start attacking my personality at this point, but not that I care. It just proves my point really and reinforces my decision that arguing with him again ever, is a bad thing and nothing good comes from it, unless he would suddenly change hsi debating style. I doubt, I don't think he is aware of what he's doing, but even more important to point it out then.

lmao... check the final post I made. I am so compulsive-obssessive :( But now I've promised myself to stay away from ACP alltogether for at least a week.
