One more for the crackpot list.
And you didn't even give an example...

According to Entree, a genius. According to Oli a crackpot
Entree, I'm willing to believe you're not a crackpot, but if you are, indeed, a genius, why not dazzle us with your knowledge and, indeed, come up with an example of what your (allegedly) genius self considers a truly deep conundrum?
Every deep conundrum involves mystery and you are the detective. You sort through your mind for information. This is your weapon.
Not really. Special Entree wanted us to do it, he never actually said he'd give us an example. No one even had to try to ask such as question, for that matter, but some did (with various levels of seriousness
). I think my question in post 4 is a very good question and the answer is quite complex. If Entree doesn't think so, that's his choice to make, but I'm happy with what I asked.I know he didn't say he'd give an example: I asked for one after he'd declared that the existing questions weren't deep enough.
Twice.
And I don't think the (serious) questions posed were that shallow, so the point becomes: what DOES constitute a deep question?

Coupled with a lack of knowledge that unfortunately doesn't stop him making flat statements that not only have no factual basis but also have nothing to do with the real world.No need to go -that- far.. delusions of grandeur perhaps

There is a trouble with that Scott. If he comes up with an example, its not necessary that anyone else would be able to crack it. Also it implies that others are fools who couldn't even come up with their own examples and couldn't comprehend the one he came up with. That justifies his post #44.When I debate/argue/chat on any subject, I often faces a dilemma. If I try to explain something which is so obvious in nature to another human being, does it mean that subconsciously I am so convinced that the other person is a stupid and cannot see the obvious(thereby my explanations are an insult and prejudice to their intellect). So what I do is to give hints and stay away from explaining or bringing up examples till a point where the other person repeatedly display his/her ignorance and inability to comprehend what I was talking about.

You mean other then in this thread? I think I'm too lazy, laugh
. Ah well, there certainly was a bit of a show in this thread, if only because a certain mod decided to bring up a certain topic with me in the room.. anyway, it's all water under the bridge now I suppose...scott3x said:

Meh. I read his post 44. It sounds fancy, but unless he elaborates on it in an interesting way, that's all I think it'll be to me in the forseeable future; something that sounds fancy. I still think that my post 4 is pretty good and it did stir up quite a lot of debate, but it's all been erased due to some insults flying.
Why, if I ever met you, shouldn't I consider taking your head off your shoulders and display it in a glass jar alongside my topical fish aquarium?
