Happeh:
There are no facts. You've already admitted it's all in your head. And I'm not really interested in your "theory", since it seems to be based on nothing. There are no actual facts which support your theory.
Or, maybe you're just deluding yourself, and really there are many people smarter than you...
Happeh, I'm sure you sincerely believe what you are saying. At some point, I am hoping your intelligence with kick in, and you'll recognise that this is just an elaborate construction of yours, actually based on nothing but your overactive imagination.
Yet you have nothing to show for it.
You are unable to convince anybody that you are right, because to do that you would have to be able to point to some facts which back up what you say. And there aren't any. Except in your head, as you said.
But, you see, Happeh, I look around me and I am sure that 95% of males, for example, masterbate regularly. Yet I see no harmful affects from that. The rate of blindness, for example, ought to be much much higher if you were correct, but it isn't. Which suggests to me that no further study is needed.
Which people? What do they agree about? Does any reputable scientist agree that masterbation causes blindness, for example? Or are ALL scientists ignorant fools?
But nobody else can independently verify that what you say is true? That's hardly going to convince anybody, is it?
If I say the sky is blue because every morning the blue paint fairy comes out from behind a cloud and paints it when nobody is looking, will you believe me? I can point to the "symptoms" - the sky is blue in the daytime. I can say I know the blue paint fairy exists because of my "experience" and 20 year "study" of the paint fairy. So, do you believe in the paint fairy? If not, why should I believe masterbation causes blindness?
But you have no facts. Am I wrong? You even said it's all in your head.
I assume you're aware that paranoid, delusional people have exactly the same kinds of beliefs. They firmly believe the world is lying to them, and that only they have special access to the "real" truth.
Have you seen the film "A beautiful mind"? What did you think of it?
Wait a minute. Are you saying that there are other people who support your views? If so, who are they?
Can you understand why I want a second opinion, other than just your say-so?
Wouldn't you want to see if anybody else believed in the blue sky fairy?
Interesting. Why?
You think I said that because I am bragging or proud, so, just like Snakelord, you are going to attack me, what it is that I believe, my self image. You are not going to attack the facts or the theory.
There are no facts. You've already admitted it's all in your head. And I'm not really interested in your "theory", since it seems to be based on nothing. There are no actual facts which support your theory.
I really believed people in general were intelligent. Realizing I am one of the few smart people breaks my heart. It is very lonely being the only smart one in a crowd of apes and baboons.
Or, maybe you're just deluding yourself, and really there are many people smarter than you...
Are you a comedian for a living? You say that like you have caught me in a lie. I told you and everyone else that what I had was my own investigations. That the common wisdom you believe is lies put out by people who wish to make you weak so you do not challenge them for power, status or money.
Happeh, I'm sure you sincerely believe what you are saying. At some point, I am hoping your intelligence with kick in, and you'll recognise that this is just an elaborate construction of yours, actually based on nothing but your overactive imagination.
I behave like a scientist is supposed to. I observe. I think about my observations. I reach a conclusion. If I see something that does not fit, I change my conclusion and try again. It has taken me years to learn what I know.
Yet you have nothing to show for it.
You are unable to convince anybody that you are right, because to do that you would have to be able to point to some facts which back up what you say. And there aren't any. Except in your head, as you said.
If you are serious, you must commit yourselves to years of study. Just like any other scientific inquiry.
But, you see, Happeh, I look around me and I am sure that 95% of males, for example, masterbate regularly. Yet I see no harmful affects from that. The rate of blindness, for example, ought to be much much higher if you were correct, but it isn't. Which suggests to me that no further study is needed.
Yes, people agree with various aspects of what I say.
Which people? What do they agree about? Does any reputable scientist agree that masterbation causes blindness, for example? Or are ALL scientists ignorant fools?
Here is how it works. I show you a picture. I point at the symptoms. I saw they are masturbation induced. I say I know this because of my expertise.
But nobody else can independently verify that what you say is true? That's hardly going to convince anybody, is it?

That means that no one talks to me about facts, they talk about my conviction. They don't attack my facts, they attack me and my conviction.
But you have no facts. Am I wrong? You even said it's all in your head.
I know it doesn't make sense. How do you think I felt when I realized I had been lied to from the moment I joined school? I first had to rid myself of all the lies that had been put in my head. Then, on my own, I had to figure out the truth that was being hidden.
I assume you're aware that paranoid, delusional people have exactly the same kinds of beliefs. They firmly believe the world is lying to them, and that only they have special access to the "real" truth.
Have you seen the film "A beautiful mind"? What did you think of it?
I don't think so. Of course the people I know might be considered delusional by the members of this forums. To me they are not deluded. To you they might be.

Excessive masturbation is worse than excessive sex usually.
Interesting. Why?
I learn everyday. I change my theory all the time.It sounds like you just change your theory so that it can always "explain" any conceivable fact. If your theory cannot be disproved, at least in theory, then it is not scientific. Did you know that?
I made the post of the Viagra study saying people will go blind. All the "scientists" here pretend like the post doesn't exist. So let me give you people imitating scientists another scientific study to look at. No it does not "prove" what I say. It corroborates what I say just like the Viagra study says.
A study which says Viagra makes people go blind is very different from a study which says excessive masterbation makes people go blind. Isn't it?
"Brains are metabolically expensive organs to develop and maintain, so looking for a trade-off there seemed obvious."
This finding seems unconnected to your masterbation claims.
Is there a connection?
