Oddbean new post about login | logout Hypothetically, how would you go about helping your (thoroughly American) neighbor who is perfectly content to spend the rest of their life living off of money taken from you by force?
I’m done with your leading questions. What are you getting at? I’m fairly certain it’s retarded at this point but we’ll see.
I don't know what I'm getting at! Maybe you'd "help" your poor needy neighbor by voluntarally giving them even more money, since that's the help they need most. Maybe you would deport your neighbor for funsies. Or maybe you would just prefer that the government stop giving your neighbor welfare checks using your money against your will. All of these are unflattering hypotheses that I wrote up in my own words. I get a lot of dopamine from thinking mean things about other people, but if it was just that then I wouldn't need to talk with you at all! Similarly, I don't need your help at all for coming up with or "proving" my own beliefs. Really the reason I'm talking with you is because I'm curious to test my hypotheses. I genuinely don't know ehat kind of response you would give to my question, and I certainly don't know how you would present it. I highly doubt you would present your own beliefs in an overtly unflattering way, so that only makes me more interested to hear what you may actually end up saying. I apologize for the wall of text. Do you have anything more specific you want to ask me? I don't mind if you think I'm retarded. But I would love to help you if you are interested in figuring out WHY I seem so retarded to you, and what thought processes I went though to come to the retarded appearing conclusions that I did. I'm a big fan of the golden rule if you couldn't tell.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude. I shouldn't try to present my perspective. I should allow you to present what I'm getting at first, especially if it's something retarded. Can you tell me if there was some certain argument I was leading up to?
Yup. I asked you a question and this what you reply with. Yup, I’m now certain whatever point you’re trying to make will be retarded.
I'm glad to help you. If you are so confident, would you mind sharing some ideas of what my point might be? I hope you aren't shy!
She doesn't have any ideas lmfao, just a donut who swears 🍩
And you’re a Jeet who’s welcome into a country, thinks because you can program we should bring in 5 million street shitters behind you and then you get pissed when we call out your bullshit. You can do exactly what you do in your inbred country. You’ve used and abused your welcome. GTFO.
Not playing your games. Either get to your point or shut the fuck up.
Even if you say you won't play my games, I appreciate the responses
How about you just say what you’re leading questions are getting to
