The Casaprov Era

[josephpalazzo]

The only reason that Casparov attracts attention on this forum is that he is easily the chew toy of many members. Otherwise, he would be totally ignored.

Casparov is just like a conspiracy theorist. Regardless of the fact that learned men in the fields he chooses to debate in don't agree with his philosophy, he has so convinced himself he is right he refuses to accept anything outside his view that would disprove it.

intellectually stimulating

So is listening to a toddler preach to morons. Oh my bad! I'm not being PC.  Solitary

Casaprov,

You should publish your philosophy because even though people disagree with you, it has caused a lot of discussion

A lot of Aristotelian theories are incorrect but are still intellectually stimulating, and just seeing all the posts about your views on the forum leads me to believe your views would really shake the boat

Kudos,

CP

Are you high?

Does Prozac count as being high?

Nope. Prozac don't produce hallucinations. I'm talking about your original post of this thread. Do you really think Casaprov ideas can be taken seriously?

I was joking about the Prozac, and I think he should be given respect because even if you don't like his points, they're still interesting (to me at least)

Quantum mechanics is interesting. The Gish Gallop we get is not.

The biggest problem is that much of what occurs in QM is subject to interpretation as the underlying causes are not known.
For example, the process of measurement does something to the process under examination, but no one seems to know what that something is.... enter the lunatic fringe. The lunatic fringe will jump on that gap of knowledge and insert whatever makes them feel good. It's a god of the gaps argument and the new ageists like Casparov will use this tired old fallacy as if it's a brand new shiny argument.

Casparov is as interesting as a Deepak Chopra record, or any other fantasy, like Scripture is. Go for it Casparov, Deepak is making millions with his ridiculous fantasies.  Solitary

The argument from ignorance must be near the top of the list of most used fallacies.  There's something about it that makes a compelling argument to a lot of people.

One thing I am smart enough not to do is "interpret" science and math. Not my bag, so I seek out sources that verify or back any argument I make. The entire dialogue, as I will say for the (5th) time, is he said, she said, yada not it don't say that yada quotes or vids or whatever from science sources.

And I don't engage in dialogue pretending to have any philosophic knowledge. I'm more Han Solo than Yoda. I research, I look up fact and sources to back my arguments. Those of you who have the patience, happy for you. I think it is boring. I prefer to cut to the chase and deal with issues through logic and evidence, silly me.

Casparov to me comes off as a half educated wind bag with an agenda, period. He refuses to accept counter arguments and stuck with a flawed viewpoint throughout, evidence notwithstanding. I don't respect him and I'm not going to pretend to.

I gave up trying to list all of them that he has made. You are correct, that is number one. Solitary

He really makes me miss Eve. At least she had some pretty good arguments that took awhile to see where the fallacies lie. Solitary

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give.
