Jefe, if you hardly put any effort at all into your long-winded posts, why should anyone respect you for them?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Uh-oh, now you done pissed off Kai, and Kai is one badass motherfucker in the knowing-shit department.

yo Kai can you hook me up with some reading on the subject next week... just pm them or link them

The premise is that biology is simply what it is, and to decide that you are something else based on social constructs is just a story you're telling yourself.

No, that was not the premise of the piece you wrote. 

Yes, yes it was the premise, as a BIOLOGIST, I got /IT/. Okay? You can go on and on about criminal justice or women's studies or screenwriting or whatever you want to do, but when it comes to biology I'M THE SMARTEST MOTHERFUCKER HERE.

And I don't much like you acting you know anything about biology, okay? Thats MY domain, and I am sure any person here will tell you I am DAMN GOOD at biology. So back the fuck off until you've read Darwin, Mendel, Watson and Crick, McClintock and everything else I've read about the subject, not to mention all the interdisciplinary work I've done in geology, chemistry and physics.

Fucktard. DO NEVER STEP. Specially not on Darwin's birthday.  

FUCKIN RAH!!!!

Also screenwriter, BA in Philosophy, non basement dwelling sock fucker 

I'm guessing pretty much everything he's said so far has been googled. Fair to medium troll, with no idea where he's stumbled into, getting raped every which way by some of the best in the business. If he's still posting by the time I wake up in the morning he'll get +1 point for tenacity but that's about it.

The internet equivalent of a missionary taking the word of god to the vatican

You write THAT shit????

What shit?  There is a lot of stuff on television.  Some of it is crap, some of it is brilliant.

Does any of it get used?

Yes, though not much.  It seems that the majority of my sales end up in development hell.   I once sold a treatment and series bible for a children's cartoon based entirely on Discordianism -- St. Gulik was a character! -- but it ended up going nowhere, and the production company eventually folded (and I never got the fucking rights back).

[Dead Kennedy]

Yes, yes it was the premise, as a BIOLOGIST, I got /IT/. Okay?

No, it was not.   You screaming will not change that fact.

You may be a biologist.  That's utterly irrelevant to your ability to recognize the premise of an essay.  Now,if you were an English major then that might be relevant, but being a biologist gives you no special ability to recognize the premise of an essay.

So, literacy is only for english majors now, huh?

Does that mean music is only for music majors?

Oh, Oh, I KNOW, that means SEX is only for PORN STARS!

Do you know how ridiculous you sound?

Note: when an essay is about biology, it is very easy for a BIOLOGIST to recognize the premise. Savvy? Tell me, what is the premise of of chapter four of On the Origin of Species (first ed.), actually, tell me ALL ABOUT the premise of the Origin, since you are so incredible, and list for me, not only all the hurdles he had to jump in publishing that book, but also all the 20th century biology he anticipated. Huh huh?

See, you can't, not because you are illiterate, but because you didn't spend years of your life studying the science that Darwin spawned.

Also, in reference to the op, who the fuck is a CRIMINAL JUSTICE and WOMENS STUDIES major to tell what the premise of an essay is? As far as I can see, thats not an english major.

EVERYBODY, APPARENTLY ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A BA IN ENGLISH IS ILLITERATE.

I know, isn't it great? 

Kai,

Honestly can't stop laughing.

My 5th-grader is studying Descartes right now in Spanish, which she has mysteriously pulled out of the dumpster in about a week.

That sounds about right for her. Shes a smart cookie.

[Pariah]

DK, I think you're a fucking twit, bottom line. You know a lot about philosophy and not a whole hell of a lot about anything else. Unfortunately, philosophy is the bottom of the barrel of academia, so I doubt anyone else thinks as highly of you as you yourself do.

And I think you're a stupid fuckhole who revels in anti-intellectualism, and that you should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

For being a "smart person" DK doesn't have a very large vocabulary judging that most of his posts either have some variation of fuck or pointless philosophical terms

She is.

I talked to the Spanish teacher today, and apparently EFO just wasn't paying attention before. She was always busy drawing or somesuch instead of being engaged with the class, but now she's engaged and aiming for an A.

Do you know how ridiculous you sound?

Are you attempting to prove that there is, in fact, such thing as a stupid question?

It means none of those things.  What it means is that having advanced knowledge of biology does not make one an authority on literary criticism.

In other words, being an expert on nuclear physics doesn't make one an authority on law enforcement. 

It does not mean that "literacy is only for English majors." That's a ridiculous and stupid question, and that you are asking it can only mean one of two things:

a) You are functionally retarded.
b) You have confused being a disingenuous twat with being clever.

Note: when an essay is about biology, it is very easy for a BIOLOGIST to recognize the premise. Savvy?

That makes no sense. It's an entirely absurd argument.  Following that logic, a nuclear physicist would find it very easy to recognize the plot of an action movie involving nuclear physics.

You're not very bright, are you?

Tell me, what is the premise of of chapter four of On the Origin of Species (first ed.), actually, tell me ALL ABOUT the premise of the Origin, since you are so incredible, and list for me, not only all the hurdles he had to jump in publishing that book, but also all the 20th century biology he anticipated. Huh huh?

The first premise of chapter four of On the Origin of Species is "We shall best understand the probable course of natural selection by taking the case of a country undergoing some physical change, for instance, of climate."  There may be more -- he covers several topics in each chapter -- but I don't want to read the whole chapter right this moment.

That's the only request you've made that's relevant to the discussion at hand.

I also didn't need to know a single thing about biology to figure that out.  Instead I relied on the things I learned in Language Arts and English programs.  Because that's the area of knowledge that is actually relevant.

See, you can't, not because you are illiterate, but because you didn't spend years of your life studying the science that Darwin spawned.

Actually, every single science class I took in both college and high school was focused on biology, evolution and paleontology.  I've even read Origin of the Species.  I've also read Gould's The Structure of Evolutionary Theory.  So i actually have spent years of my life studying this self, though I don'tconsider myself an expert, merely well-informed.

Also, in reference to the op, who the fuck is a CRIMINAL JUSTICE and WOMENS STUDIES major to tell what the premise of an essay is? As far as I can see, thats not an english major.

My areas of expertise are irrelevant.  I am able to recognize the premise of an essay, or a chapter, because I paid attention in school.  In elementary school.  The ability to recognize the premise of an essay is something you should have learned by about 4th grade, at the latest.

I love it how you start off with one argument aka the OP doesn't know the premise of their own essay, supporting that with your personal education level, and then turn that around by saying the last statement in the post above.

*pats the trolls head* You were doing so well. So sad.

So, lets get back to slinging stupid insults over stupid arguments, for example, the way you completely conflated this thread with your retarded post and missing completely the point of the OP's rant. Hint hint: it had nothing to do with dualism, cause if it did I wouldn't have liked it. I am strongly non dualist, because I know the mind is simply an emergent property of neural function. I also, unlike you, know the context that the rant was written in, and therefore have better insight into the language and dare I say it(?) the premise.

What I find truly hilarious is that you continue to stand on your own on this forum insulting quite a few people with your drivel, and that you expect, at some point, for someone to actually come round to what you are saying. Or maybe you're just another dumb troll running yet another dumb social experiment on these forums. Its so BORING, and so done to death.
