thanks for posting that. It’s great entertainment to watch people Inflate themselves. The hubris and lack of humility is funny.Still Lit wrote:Kodiak wrote:I have a masters in economics. You're welcome to show me your ignorance, if you wish to continue this bullshit.
I appeal to Thomas Aquinas who writes in the Sumna that, as Boethius says, proof from authority is the weakest form of proof.

Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

An appeal to an authority based on an appeal to a authority. A fortiori. 
I simply must assume that our dear Zeke realizes the joke.

No apology.
It was definitely a barb, but also a joke because I appealed to an authority (Thomas) who appeals to an authority (Boethius) to claim that an appeal to authority is the weakest sort of proof.

I don’t see any issue with appealing to an authority. It is the self appeal that is weak.

Indeed. Too good of a joke / tweak to pass up

You are pretty humorless.
This whole page of an otherwise humorless discussion has actually been quite humorous.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...
