I disagree. I think his narcissism is deeper than that. He knows he's right. Gary teaches, he doesn't need to learn. He (thinks he) knows that everyone really agrees with him, but they're either part of the Intergalactic Anti-Gary Cabal, or afraid of it. |
Could be.
Although the very notion of Gary teaching is enough to bring on nausea.
Gary couldn't teach a dog to wag its tail. |
The dog's in on the conspiracy too. |
Yeah, even atoms are. Despite all evidence to the contrary (i.e., all evidence and reason), atoms have to learn how to bind to other atoms to form molecules.
Gary has said as much, repeatedly, and steadfastly avoids any clarification of where in the scale from atoms to macroscopic entities (rocks, dogs, people, bridges) intelligent agency is required. That comes far far too close to addressing the dead elephant in the room -- his banal and trivial "premise" is worthless without taking the next step of identifying which features of the universe are best explained by intelligent cause and which features are not best explained by such a cause.
