re: #499 palmerskiss

i agree with all of this - i am not consumed with some idea of karma or universal justice. i understand justice is what you make it - nothing happens unless you attempt to force yourself to try. today i forced us into this wrenching debate on iraq. it had painful moments but it was worthless?

Yes, because nothing I’ve said appears to have penetrated or communicated with you in the least, and you’ve accused me over and over of just wanting to win the debate, it feels entirely useless. You haven’t believed I’ve been arguing honestly.

we can disagree on this - you can call it self serving - but i want to discourse on these issues. i gave a perspective - my perspective - you were kind enough to debate me on it for a long time. that gives me a better perspective - and maybe you also. i posited difficult things - fantastical ideas - but this is who i am - i believe in the fantastic - i am an eternally deluded optimist - but i like that about myself.

Don’t goddamn say I was kind enough to debate you when you repeatedly accused me of just wanting to win the argument, for fuck’s sake.

I don’t think you posited difficult things. I think you posited counterproductive, bizarre things. Fantastical, yes, in the strict meaning that they don’t actually connect with the real world.
