Like, I once made a similar mistake and had a bit of a fight with Ford over what I thought he had said. I acknowledged my mistake, we got over it. Mistakes happen.

> The two of us have had an argument before, too, if you remember. And that time it went similarly, where I demonstrated that your numbers were highly unrealistic and you had absolutely no rebuttal to offer, you just got angry.
@ETBrooD I don't remember you really, tbh. Was it about the coronavirus? I do get pissed off at "flu bros" due to how ***dangerous and despicable*** denialism surrounding this situation obviously is.

Also, if it was based on my rundown of the coronavirus figures, no those numbers aren't unrealistic at all and it's very likely that I didn't make a rebuttal because none was required. Here's the post again if you'd like to review:

> I'm not trying to be virtuous, I just saw you arguing very poorly and I'm pointing it out.
@ETBrooD <:hyperdoubt:657356297553051728>

Give am example of my alleged "poor argumentation"

You made a claim about closed border stopping the virus after the virus had already entered the country

???

I think you're confused

Hm. Maybe I am, you changed your nickname recently so I could mistake you for someone else

I added, the IQ thing to mock David, so did a few other people. That's probably why.

@ETBrooD I'm way more interested in seeing what you think of my initial OP than I am in continuing this conversation about your alleged virtue and my blatant and course debating habits. Unlike Hex you obviously aren't an imbecile.

Not the Nietzsche quote

I'm not into genetics type of stuff really, I don't care about that

If you have any sort of formal education on biology you're basically guaranteed to know more than I do

Also, one final note I'd like to point out, just because a person is blatant and coarse when they argue doesn't mean they are bad at arguing. If you're going to call somebody "bad at arguing" you should at least give a realistic example of how. Considering there wasn't even am actual argument here? Literally just hex ad homming me fore no reason and me dismissing him? It seems like a somewhat ridiculous thing to say. @ETBrooD

Which is probably why you refuse to expound

I only care about the Nietzsche quote

The debate before I had no interest in reading, I only skimmed over it

Genetics is about as far removed from my interests as a frog is from the moon

Apparently quoting a philosopher to back up an opinion is bad now? <:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

Alright man, don't explain then. Whatever.

I didn't say that, I just think it's understandable that Hex overlooked that it was a quote

He only overlooked it because he didn't look at (all of) it.

Not my fault.

Well I don't blame him for that, it's a terribly annoying quote to read that makes me think it's a waste of time

Cool opinion, I don't care. If he didn't want to read it and address what it was saying then maybe he shouldn't have participated in the conversation at all.

You know what's really funny about this entire situation? Being compared to nietzsche is actually a confidence boost. This idiot made my day by trying to ad hom me and failing.

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

I addressed the Nietzsche quote specifically

It's OK Phaed doesn't know anything about genetics either.....

So now you're trying to paint this as something it isn't, again? Because you can't hold a debate without trying to discredit your opposition? I literally don't care about genetics, not one bit. That's all it is.

@Jym Get a biologist in here to debate him, I love seeing huge egos getting rekt

In all honesty, any confusion about the Nietzsche quote is your fault to begin with @phadreus. You forget to put quotations around it and not till the very end is there anything to indicate that it is, in fact, a Nietzsche quote instead of just a random man who struggles with simplifying their own mental diarrhea into something easy to read and digest. On a side note, that mental diarrhea is a problem I see with most philosophers which irritates me to no end. I'm far too fond of the simple and straightforward to deal with that verbose, paper-colored slime.

@ETBrooD

Why bother? I mean I'm not a biologist at best I can read graduate texts *slowly* but it's not like it is worth arguing with someone who cannot recognize the difference between physics and biology.

There's a difference? Maybe that's the problem <:Veemote:501103628883591188>

> So now you're trying to paint this as something it isn't, again? Because you can't hold a debate without trying to discredit your opposition? I literally don't care about genetics, not one bit. That's all it is.
@ETBrooD That's literally what happened though??? <:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

Yeah it is almost like the essential elements of matter, energy, and the cosmos have no real relationship to the behavior of a hyper-social species of erect primates. Or some dumb redneck shit like that....

@Jym Your inability to understand that animals are open systems that shed heat isn't a fault against my argument, regardless of how hard to try to pretend it is.

@phadreus I had no interest in genealogy or whatever in my entire life. Not once. This is not about me dodging a debate.

@Alex Fahey Okay, first off, why tf did it take you like 20 minutes to write this? I thought you were working on your own damn post, NOPE, just more nonsensical attacks for no apparent reason.

> On a side note, that mental diarrhea is a problem I see with most philosophers which irritates me to no end.

Just because you have a hard time understanding what such people say doesn't make it "diarrhea". In reality this take is an example of why these people are renowned and why you're nothing.

Eh, over 24 hours ago we covered this. *Everything in the goddamned Universe* sheds energy. Including humans, rocks, assorted marsupials, Hymenoptera, dying stars, the hopes and dreams of teenage girls, and the eventual heat death of the universe.
