Probably it seems that way since you are so self-deceived.
Look, a few posts back you were almost certain that I had autism. Then you abandoned that claim once I offered to bet on it. What that means is that like a lot of self-deceived people, there is a standby rationality mode which kicks in when serious interests are at stake. And that you are very good at fooling yourself.
Unfortunately, your mental problem is so common that it’s not even thought of as a mental problem.
Lol, I guess that means you aren’t willing to put your money where your mouth is. Instead, you prefer to engage in special pleading and then exit when called on it.
I’m not sure what “monolithic genetic group” means, but I am happy to concede that the group known as “blacks” contains a lot of subgroups which are very different from eachother.
Does it surprise you that I am willing to make such a concession?
No, I still think you have Asperger syndrome, I just don’t care enough to argue about it. The slightly creepy and weird bet you proffered didn’t change my mind at all; rather the opposite, in fact.
Also, that fact that you are incapable of changing your mind about anything makes this discussion singularly unproductive. To be honest I don’t know why I even bothered to write this post; you have 6 years of history to demonstrate that you’re not worth talking to.
No need to argue – just take my bet and you’ll make an easy 5 grand. But of course you won’t, since your standby rationality mode will protect you from making what you know deep down is a losing bet. Just like you know deep down that the latest social intervention to “close the gap” will not actually close the gap.
Nonsense, that’s simply your conclusion based on your special pleading. Or will you apply the same standard to everyone posting in this thread on the other side of the debate?
Certainly not with ad homenim attacks; strawman arguments; and special pleading. Those won’t change my mind.
Nor will it change my mind to point out that my position is socially unacceptable. I’m well aware of that fact.
What will change my mind is actual evidence and meritorious arguments. For example, if some social intervention produces sustained and lasting achievement on the part of a reasonably large group of blacks.
Yeah, it’s just a coincidence that in the 6 years you’ve been posting here no one has managed to provide “actual evidence and meritorious arguments” on any single argument you have ever been involved in? That’s the sort of thing that only an idiot or someone with Aspergers would believe, so that gives: NDD and you, and…anyone else?
Oh, the only reason I’m still posting is because I know your Aspergers won’t allow you to permit anyone else to have the last word. That means that you’re going to be compelled to respond to this, which I find amusing.
Or…you lack the intellectual capacity to know when you’re wrong. It’s clear that you’re wrong in this thread. It’s also clear that you don’t realize you’re wrong. I bet you have 6,999 other posts that follow this same general pattern.
Find me someone else in this thread who has been posting for 6 years, has nearly 7,000 posts, and has never changed their mind about anything, and I personally guarantee that I will think they are as fucked-up as you are.
I was asking about changing your mind on stuff in general in life – not about your posts on a message board. Of course you prefer to blur the distinction, but there it is.
Correct.
Wrong yet again. See, I don’t engage with people who refuse to answer reasonable questions so that I can understand their position. In your case, you are trying to hide your double standard.
And this is how Asperger man gets the last word: pretends he doesn’t see my posts. To a person with normal functionality this would seem insane, but we’re not talking about a person with normal functionality, we’re talking about Brazil84.
