That's fine, but you don't have to be a dick about it. Your posts were interesting until you started belittling for what reason I am not sure.
Look....
It is very easy for people to get sucked in by the allure of "deep thinking". It happens all the time at some colleges. The students are led to believe
they are being profound, when I actually think they're being taught nonsense that is an insult to true thoughtfullness. And to be honest, I think the best way to counter that kind of nihilism is with a rhetorical hard slap to the face, because politely bantering about the wisdom of those thoughts actually plays into the hands of those who think they are being deep. In other words, once you engage that kind of stuff as if it is seriously thinking, they've won.
So, I honestly didn't mean any offense. I just think that kind of thinking has to be exposed rather brutally so people can see it for what it really is.
