From what i have seen he seem to think if you are for anything remotely to do with the 80s, not a new age hippy like person or anything that he believes in you are wrong and he is right and he sticks to it. Telling him others feel differently does not dissuade him. He is the most self centered person I have ever met. He even said he wishes he could get others to feel the way he does (regarding music.) I would not be surprised if this applies to his other beliefs. So much for being a lefty.(09-03-2016, 07:06 PM)Eric the Obtuse Wrote:(09-03-2016, 07:58 AM)Galen Wrote:(09-02-2016, 05:04 AM)Bob Butler 54 Wrote: Learning from others isn't scary or evil.

So far it would seem that learning in general presents a problem for Eric the Obtuse. So far his knowledge of science is at the sixteenth or seventeenth century when astrology was state of the art. If his knowledge of economics was at the same level of the Spanish Scholastics of the sixteenth century it would be an improvement over his current complete lack of knowledge in the subject.
Learning for Eric the Obtuse is a recreational impossibility like flying would be for the rest of us. As a consequence this situation is unlikely to improve.
Right. I am MOST unlikely to adopt your laissez faire philosophy. I can only hope it is in decline now, after 36 years of predominance. The same for materialist science views.
That is because you are a nasty self-righteous totalitarian who likes to rule other people. Sadly, your lack of knowledge on so many subjects makes you the least qualified person to do so.
Now imagine growing up in the seventies surrounded by legions of idiots just like Eric the Obtuse. Generation X should now make more sense to you.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken
