Fine, you got me: the assertion that is obviously true, but goes further in that it invalidates the need for any of this discussion. If your goal was to engage me in a thought-measuring contest, sure, you win: you've spent more time thinking about this utterly ridiculous nonsense than I have. Congrats?


I bet you could make your points without insulting others. What do you think?


I think my tone was no different than naasking's.


Yeah, saying I think you're likely confused, as I did, is not remotely the same as calling subjects that interest some people "insane drivel", or "utterly ridiculous nonsense". You definitely need to recalibrate your scale IMO.


If you're not interested in philosophical discussions, then why engage at all, particularly only to denigrate people who like exploring thought experiments?
