Socrates? You? Try Euthyphro!
Davin L. — (archived)

Tech:

Have you even read the Socratic dialogues? I mean more than just skimmed them scanning for pithy quotes to put up on your website in a vain attempt to sound erudite in matters considered profound. You remind me of Euthyphro. In fact, the shoe fits you so well you should cange your handle here.

Calling you euthyphro might have one benefit: I am sure you will skitter off into the dark corners of the web to read up on the dialogues you offended in an attempt to sound learned. Make sure you read the Phaedo while you are at it, little techie. Make sure you read the homoerotic sections. It is a real Socratic irony that you compared yourself to Socrates.

In general:

You bluster and insult and say really shoddy things about people here all the time, then you stamp a winky face at the bottom of it and claim humor.

Worse: you trot out these really absurd L. Ron Hubbard like philosophies-of-life grounded in this bizarre pseudoscience that has no fact, no empirical basis, no objective review or qualifications. Not just do you trot this out (in front of honest-to-god physicists, mathematicians, engineers and etc), but you want to use it as a platform for bigotry. You want to use your absurd 'metacrap' as a reason to denegrate whole categories of other human beings.

You say homosexuals are degenerate? I say you are far worse of a threat. Your 'choose your own adventure' style of pseudo-intellectualism is not only dishonest, but its immoral in that you try to 'sell' this shit to others as fact. I'm much more worried about your effect on the naive, weak-willed an uneducated than I am about two women or two men loving eachother and wanting to dedicate their lives to eachother.

When I read your absurd attempt at 'highbrow' bigotry, I am reminded of the Nazis and their eugenics. A bit of advice: think carefully about that comparison. They have at least historical example to back them. You, on the otherhand, relating homosexuality to your absurd pseudoscience- what backs that... Aside from your ego?
