The "you'll find out if there's a god when you die argument"

[Avante]

So you can't actually demonstrate any understanding. All you can do is simply repeat a definition that you may nor may not ultimately understand. I figure three chances to answer an easy question is enough for anyone.


I guess it is easy to see who is "mentally weak" then.

QED

Well let's see, talk to me about them Alabama blues and the first to record from the state or those HBCU sprinters who ran in the Olympics or the first 1000 yard rushers in the old AAFC....ok?

You are confusing mentally weak with lack of interest..ok?

Talk to me about those seven sub10.00 sprinters at TCU...ok?

[Avante]

I do get a kick out of you little people, ya don't really know and it is funny watching ya. You're all so damn limited it's comical.

Why are you wasting time here still?

[Avante]

Most people simply want somethinhg other than just....you die you are dead....in their life, so they have it. Bingo~~~~~~~~~~~

[RandomGuy]

I always think of this when I read Avante's posts

That pretty much sums it up. nice clip.

I get criticized a bit for picking on people like him, although occasionally... I get through the fog. One can always hope.

Dunning-Kruger did a follow up study that showed that there is hope, even for the people who over-estimate their abilities. Almost everybody can learn.

Another desperate attempt to deflect, and very predictable.


It always goes like this:

Avante: I'm really smart, other people are dumb.
Other: Well, what about [issue that requires actual critical thinking]?
Avante: You really aren't very smart are you?
Other: I guess, now can you answer [question that requires critical thinking]?
Avante: Let's talk about some narrow topical facts I have memorized.

(rolls eyes)

Avante...but can ya talk literature, NFL football, track, rock n' roll, body building, the movies?
you...I'm into evolution.
Avante..how about, boxing, basketball, NCAA football, blues, R&B
you...I'm into evolution

Dude, you are so limited it's comical.

[Avante]

Translation

Yep, you have a far wider range of interests than I do, but....I know evolution.

[Ginobilly]

This is how I understand the theory of creation/evolution: A white hole ed a black hole and squirted it's primordial . Boom creation! Then bacteria arose from primordial dirt pools on the earth. It gave life to bacteria. From Bacteria to fungus. fungus gave birth to plants. Plants gave birth to Fish. Fish to reptiles. Then lastly reptiles gave birth to mammals/Humans. That's the theory of evolution in a nut s .

(sighs)

You brought up people being "mentally weak".

Evolution was merely the topic used to demonstrate that in you. Do keep up.

What makes it funnier is that your response to being called out on being mentally weak was to accuse someone else of being topically limited then prattle off a narrow list of topics you think you know a lot about, but most of which are "sports".

But, hey, I ain't scairt.

I will humor you. You have yet to demonstrate the ability to do anything that resembles critical thinking in areas that *I* know about. What I see is merely an ability to parrot what you have read, pretty much what anyone would consider "mentally weak". I would be willing to bet that you probably can't do much better in the areas of knowledge *you* know about. Critical thinking is a skill, not an ability to memorize facts.

Pick one topic. Whatever you like, and we can go down the (shallow) rabbit hole of your ability to think and reason, and I'll take a week to brush up. I like learning new things.

Then we can talk a bit more, and you can wow us all with your abilities.

Like everyone else I was introduced to the evolution theory in school, didn't think much of it. Sorta like the opera, ballet, I get it but it doesn't interest me. So I can't talk about the great opera singers and dancers brecause.....I don't care. Ok, ya with me? That is...LACK OF INTEREST...which Has nothing to do with being mentally anything, ok rookie?

When it comes to my interests I can hang with anyone in the world, trust me.

You really see things evolving as taking some critical thinking to grasp the concept, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
