[QUOTE="Teenaged"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] What conclusions? I didn't conclude anything else beyond what he did...kuraimen
I cant know what conclusion you reached in your mind. All I can do is read what you express.And like I said plenty of times, and you seem to ignore me, your conclusions in the OP were vague and unclarified.
I blame modern times though. Philosophy is often portrayed as being the vague ramblings of incoherent minds, and many wanna-be philosophers (see: SS35) think that mimicking that stereotype automatically makes them interesting. Dont make the same mistake again in the future, please. Thanks.
You said that my conclusion is reaching ridiculous implications and that's why people insulted me. I told you my conclusion, as I stated it in the OP, is not anything more of what the DFW quote said. And you tell me that you are not talking about DFW's conclusion but mine which is no different than the one of DFW's quote. I think you are the one being confusing here. And DFW was not a rambling philosopher, he was pretty straightforward and clear with his writings IMO. I don't know how you can get clearer than that.Your conclusion in the OP was vague, that's why it had ridiculous implications. Well... not so implicit implications.That's why your conclusion as it was expressed was in contrast with what someone could derive from DFW's quote. You did a crappy job at expressing and then explaining your conclusion (although I doubt that isnt intentional). That's what I've been saying all along.
Of course I wasnt referring to DFW's conclusion because for all we know he may have meant something entirely different from what any of us in this thread thought. That's why I cant comment on his conclusion. Maybe I could if I read the link charazani posted but I didnt tbh.
Also I didnt say DFW is a rambling philosopher. Who is confused again?
Seriously kuraimen... go troll some other forum.
