That's a bit of a hoot considering that "lying" might be construed as "deliberate mischaracterization". Something you insist is one of your "claims to fame":

And here is some weirdness. The word below reads as "Z v a n ' s" yet it is rendered "Nec_V20's" in preview.
Nec_V20's Nec_V20's Nec_V20's Nec_V20's

Zvanatee's pretentious gibberish was discussed a bit a few pages ago. Also, we discovered the issue with the name subsitution: the FT's anti-Zimmerman filter replaces any word that starts with 'Z' and ends in 'N' to Nec_V20.

Here is a quick lesson on lying techniques for those who are interested.

[youtube]awY1MRlMKMc[/youtube]

I would love anyone with the spoons to mash this video with statements from our esteemed Liar in Chief, PM Tony Abbott. YMMV.

In my feed I saw that the huzvanatee has another post up about the same topic, a Q&A if I remember the title correctly. Haven't bothered to look at the tripe, but it is out. I doubt she has addressed any critiques (at least in any honest way). Just FYI.

I don't see how the claim negates the statement: "I lie perfectly" is not self-referential. It could be taken to mean "when I lie, I lie perfectly."

The fact that I say it would mean that I would be telling the truth in stating "I lie perfectly" although the fact of the matter is that I have lied perfectly up to now.

Thanks for the link.

I don't think I've ever seen those tweets by McIntosh (or I've forgotten about them), but is he being serious? Is he saying that players having less control is better than more control? So, turn them all into interactive movies, essentially? No wonder he doesn't like video games.

The ignoramus is equating "I lie perfectly" with "Everything I say is a lie". "Perfect liar" is self-consistent. It would mean someone who, when they choose, can say things that they know are false but people listening will nonetheless tend to believe. Of course, he can, and probably will, say this mistake is part of the ruse. But his game right now is probably a deluded idea of revenge. His addled mind is frequently confused by what people's real meaning and intent are, so he tries to do the same.

Anyone claiming to be a perfect liar and having a perfect technique for lying and not on politics is a liar. And a bad one, to booth.

In your case I think it could be expanded to "Brevity of the soul and of the wit".

Svan and many others are really having a hard time with: “Date rape is bad. Stranger rape at knifepoint is worse. If you think that’s an endorsement of date rape, go away and learn how to think.” They are going to keep bringing it up (in trickier ways, as they layers on top of the original shit) for a long time.

I'm so tempted at times to suggest that it's due to the fact that they are at zero risk of being date-raped, but that would be unfair. True, but unfair. Pretend that I didn't bring it up, please.

I'm assuming that people saw the Oafie post setting up a smear against Michael Nugent for something Sinn Fein may have done. Maybe she was looking forward to a new MN post as much as I was. We are joined in our mutual disappointment.

Can't say that I've got a good handle on either - pretty convoluted at the best of times if not outright idiocy, at least the former as a review by Dawkins suggests.

But what seems "problematic" is that both still seem to have some currency - as the GamerGate article suggests, and as does the article linked in this tweet exchange I had recently: From the article:

Elizabeth Smith wrote:The women’s narratives are viewed through a postmodern lens that draws on the work of Foucault and his feminist contemporaries. Specifically utilising Butler’s notion of overplay and Foucault’s later work on ethics, I argue that there are possibilities for women in the sex industry to (re)create their ethical substances – or senses of self – in ways that allow them to resist appropriating dominant and stigmatising discourses about who they are, both as sex workers and as women.

:?

Though there is maybe a grain or two of truth in some of their blatherings. For instance, consider this tweet from that GamerGate article:
http://gamergate.me/wp-content/uploads/ ... age-16.png
The implication there being, apparently, that the culture itself is some sort of autonomous entity that is capable of imposing or inducing certain behaviour patterns on its members - a perspective or philosophy that is apparently prevalent in sociology, and which Pinker elaborates on in some detail in his The Blank Slate. While one might argue that that is a misapprehension or reification - asserting that the abstraction of the behaviour of all individuals has substance and reality on its own - there is maybe some remote possibility that that collection is an emergent property of sorts that has some limited causal efficacy of its own - sort of like the coupled metronomes I've discussed in some detail here earlier. Or sort of like consciousness itself that seems to "emerge" - as if by magic, so to speak - out of the supposedly unconscious operations of "simple" neurons. Curious & curiouser as Alice used to say .... :-)

My impression of Pinker on these sorts of issues is greatly determined by his "the mind is what the brain does" followed by a near refusal to discuss the issue further.

Best thing he ever did, even if it wasn't original.

As far as I know Psychology is not on your résumé, it is however on mine (from the University of Bonn). So take your own advice that you lavishly give to creationists when they meander onto your turf and keep your extraneous psychological counsel to yourself.

I thought his discussion, in his How the Mind Works, of Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind - "how's that for in-your-face impugnment!" - was rather superficial and dogmatic if not actually narrow-minded. For instance, he said:

Pinker wrote:The computational theory fits so well into our understanding of the world that, in trying to overthrow it, Penrose had to reject most of contemporary neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and physics! [my emphasis; pg 98]

But, from my recollection, Penrose said nothing of the sort; he only said that "contemporary physics" was incomplete. And that his point was that fine details can have very broad and far-reaching effects - as the theories of relativity and quantum physics rather convincingly prove.

No problemo - one of his books that I've broken down and bought (I generally check them out of the library - several times - and only buy them if they're particularly good), and which is extensively annotated. I think it a fantastic book and was one of my main entry points into the field and genre. But, as mentioned, I think he misses an important concept and perspective or two.

Unfortunately your lack of cognition does not surprise me in the least.

I taught a freshman seminar based on How the Mind Works, so I'm embarrassed by how little I remember. The class turned into a hilarious series of "just-so" stories, such as the adaptiveness of PMS bitchiness, that I had to suppress laughing along with the frat boys a lot of the time.

Sorry, you're right. I was diligently observing the "do not feed the trolls" rule until the last hour. Somehow it got into my head that a bit of accurate ridicule might help ward him off. It works sometimes, but not with severe aspie trolls, who can just feed off of it in creating their own reality.

Whoops, am I still feeding the troll? That's definitely the last time.
