If I'm pulling poo poo out of my rear end why can't you reference or cite one actual thing to shut me up instead of just calling me an idiot repeatedly?

gary oldmans diary posted:

you havent had anything to say or contribute for 2 days but "you cant prove that!" and yet you are still posting as though that means you are an integral part of a conversation. if there is any way someone could shut you up it would be a loving miracle

Sorry you're salty that your fantasy wank isn't real I guess.

the gently caress are you even talking about? i enter conversation and demonstrate that with elimination of unknowns a deterministic solution to thought experiment exists. you are incapable of understanding and make an idiot of yourself. go do like i suggested earlier and play a video game

Answer this post which you totally ignored:

gary oldmans diary posted:

youve been attempting to come up with something that would qualify as a burn for a while and if you keep trying im sure youll eventually succeed. dont wait for a response just keep trying

Moridin920 posted:

Are you ever gonna answer that post or just keep flailing around having a salty meltdown?

gary oldmans diary posted:

already have addressed everything in that post. you are retarded

quote:

The transporter was developed by the production staff of the original series as a solution of how to get crewmen off a planet quickly. The only alternative was to either land a massive ship each week, or regularly use shuttles for landings, both of which would have wreaked havoc on the production budget.

i addressed the content therein without needing to quote it. i suppose this is confusing to you.

quote:

and the big quote youre gonna win the conversation by saying i ignored has only 2 main paragraphs to me that both start with "I think you are probably right". is your handler typing out your posts for you? give them a break please

quote:

I think you're probably right that persistent consciousness is a kind of illusion but I don't see how you can claim such certainty about this. Particularly as your fatuous description of the phenomenon of consciousness as "a electrical and chemical pattern" suggests that you are no expert on neurobiology.

Of course if you later move the goal posts and say "this is just a thought experiment that only works if you assume we can eliminate these unknowns!" which is radically different from your original position of "if you think I'm wrong, you believe in souls like a moron" well.......... get hosed lmao.

Why are you so salty about this?

gary oldmans diary posted:

"youre having a meltdown!" "youre doing a donald impersonation!"

youre trying to win a conversation with generic burns, bro. pro hint for you there
the entire premise of the transporter is that is copies every aspect of the physical thing it scans. i dont need to explain how neurobiology works any more than i need to explain what the uniforms are made of. if you are suggesting that there is something that cant be scanned that is outside the premise of the transporter then you are very clearly saying there is something metaphysical there that makes up consciousness

only a dullard wouldnt understand this so of course look for another moridin920 post below
moving goal posts now... as in my 2nd post about transporters in this thread. im sorry you cant follow a conversation. i really am

Yeah lol you've made just two posts about it. Nobody click on the little ? in the bottom left corner!

Moridin920 posted:

People told you that's dumb and wrong

Moridin920 posted:

now you're turning it into some "thought experiment" where you can just pick and choose which "unknowns" to "eliminate" because they contradict what you're saying.

Moridin920 posted:

K so again, that's not what I'm suggesting.

Fuckin monster melt down lmao

"about" it? ive restated the required premises whenever relevant. im sorry you cant read posts not addressed to you
"you" are now "people". ok bro. keep trying to find a shortcut to winning a conversation without being able to participate in it
the unknowns to eliminate are the ones only you bring up so you can argue "you dont know how the technology works" when you are backed into a corner in the conversation. and how exactly does star trek contradict what i am saying? oddly enough you insinuate that it does and yet you never say how because you never contribute anything to the conversation
yes ive heard over and over everything you are not suggesting. its very easy when someone points out where youre wrong to just say "thats not what i was saying" but it is very conventional at that point to explain what you are saying. which of course you would never do because there would be no way for you to not contradict yourself.

but take an opportunity. please tell us what you are saying
yeah, i see youre upset
