Nice (but predictable) use of logic to try to make me look foolish & expose my own pose.
You have my posts for empirical evidence that I, in fact, am not infallible by any means, but that I am, in actuality, in the words of Socrates, "a little less ignorant than everyone else."
I stand by the assertion & it's not ego. I merely try to point out the silly inconsistencies & denial in the behavior that I observe in an attempt to instruct & edify.
On a lighter note, some of what I write may also give people something to talk about at parties.
On the old board, I was much more adamant about being serious & effecting real communication than I am at this one because iit often led to a mob mentality willing to try & torture me for kicks.
Anyone & everyone has the capacity for wisdom, but it requires true Socratic knowledge of the self. What's asked of us is that we come to terms with our denials & fears to open up the wellspring of our unconscious knowledge, & most people simply refuse to do so due to their habituated denial of death & fear.

A message board lends itself to a more direct & abrasive method (as you should be well aware since you are very obnoxious & overbearing yourself, porkmarras) than an actual one-on-one scenario.
