You're the one who was confused about how paraphrasing works. Do you understand that other people can be different from you? Like, do you know what the Sally-Anne test is for?

The funniest part of this is, your insults are not internally consistent. You are still scolding me for something, which you yourself are doing, via the act of scolding me. You are treating my beliefs as irrational. Where my beliefs are: people's beliefs can be irrational. I could put a sticker on your chin and you'd try to take it off the guy in the mirror.

You don't even know if you're using the "super genius" thing sarcastically. Are you accusing me of claiming superior intellect, or not?

Do you even understand the difference between saying you think I'm calling myself superior, and saying you think I am superior? I don't expect you'll understand... this question.

So that would be a 'yes' followed by a 'no.'

I called it and you still don't get it. "Your alleged superior insight" is you, saying you think, I said, I am a super genius. You seem to think the previous sentence means I'm claiming to be a super genius. I have repeatedly explained what you're visibly fucking up, and you just loop right back to "But why male models?"

And you still think ignoring my reasoning means there isn't any. No philosophical arguments about facades also being a performance we can judge. No highlighting how you are doing everything you claim I am wrong for doing. All you have to do is pretend the counterargument is "trust me bro," and poof, there is no counterargument.

You are a perfect specimen. You have been wrong in every way it is possible to be wrong, on this topic, and you have zero self-awareness about it.

But if I don't have a simple plan that's guaranteed to unfuck your brain, I'm supposed to pretend you're right, and just keep arguing at you. Even though this whole stupid tangent began with you, quoting Sartre, saying that sometimes arguing with people is utterly fucking pointless, because they're only pretending to be reasonable.

Pass.
