I seem to be on a role lately and well I’m not surprised this happens, it just seems to be happening more often than not.
Guru posts some post/platitude that is factually incorrect and contradicts itself in all 3 acts of the short little post.
Me, who has a near autistic level of polymath related knowledge on the topic sees it and challenges their idea.
Guru replies and arrogantly so, that they are 100% logical in their response where mine is 100% illogical…
I mean I’m all for having a healthy dose of an ego, but to write something like that is absolutely WILD.
Instead of explaining your rational, you then write analogies that are irrelevant and then state (With their whole chest I might add) something that is verifiably wrong and has massive and extensive documented process with evidence of the contrary, while still not saying anything at all.
Like there’s a whole bunch of words but they’re not saying anything.
So I take apart their second response because I’m curious to still know how they rationalise it all, and now all of a sudden they won’t reply because what I’ve written is factual, data and science backed…
I mean if you’re going to write some platitudes for your audience to lap up, you could at least have the ability to expand on it to someone who is genuinely curious about understanding your thought process.
Anyways.
The main point is. In a lot of these spaces. You’ll see these influential types with large audiences, post the most bullshit information without being able to back up a single claim or idea. That or they’re going to justify it as some play to posture and keep their “status” lol.
Personally. I’m happy to be wrong. Hell, I’m wrong often, but at least I’m humble enough to know that if I’m wrong, I can be educated and/or pointed in the right direction to go and learn some cool shit.
But the thing I’m seeing with AI tech and all that shit now, is that people are so confidently wrong about things because of it, it’s incredibly worrisome.
It’s like neo intellectualism is going to be the new way forward.
If you’re passionate about a certain topic. The best thing you can do is go and read every single book on the topic, find experts and even pay for people smarter than you in relation to that topic and become insufferably knowledgeable.
Painting, writing, music and even philosophical outlooks…
Those are going to be the things people will pay a pretty penny for, while also wanting to be around people who have the balls to go deep on topic, even when they’re wrong.

P.S. It’s either that or you become like the masses depicted here…
