Closest thing we have to a modern day Einstein , Musk, claims no one believes the media and they lack integrity but RH and the ST crew are pretty sure people like him are idiots. Exactly what are your credentials again?

You will have to express yourself a bit more in depth before I can give you any kind of answer here.

RH? ST?

Really not sure what you are trying to say here.

Surely you would name names if you blatantly disagreed.......

Musk is as more of an entrepreneur than anything. He’s not revolutionizing the world of science

Musk is more of a Bill Gates than an Einstein...

Good marketer, understands the technology he's using, not afraid to bet big in innovation, not afraid to fail.

Einstein was finding and explaining the rules... different ball game.

I kinda got that, but RH? Even with that I'm still not *quite* sure what you were getting at. I can guess, but I always prefer not to.

Nathan again ducks out.

I have a theory that conservatives tend to be bad at critical thinking, because conservatism at its heart is logically flawed, i.e. the only way you can be a dedicated conservative is to be at least mildly delusional.

In this case, Nathan has a script and authors he likes, but when challenged to build on, and think about, his positions, he demurs.

Does Nathans failure support my thesis?

is your thesis about claiming victory?

[RandomGuy]

is your thesis about claiming victory?

Not exactly, but to some degree, yeah sure.

Self-deluding oneself into thinking that you have adequately answered a fair question about an assertion, when all you have done is simply re-state underlying assumptions that are being challenged would fit the thesis.

Good critical thinking always evaluates starting assumptions, and seeks to draw logical conclusions. Delusional, magical thinking prevents this.

[RandomGuy]

is your thesis about claiming victory?

A good example:

God is real because the bible says it is so. I know the bible is real, because god wrote it. I WIN!!

So yeah, to some degree, "declaring victory" when all you have done is expose your own flawed thinking to anyone who understands how to spot flaws (in this case circular reasoning) would fit the bill.
