Quote | ...Eigenstate’s summary of the materialist worldview is spot on. That his nihilism is also itself self-evidently evil should give him pause. It does not. He is proud of it. Believing there was no ultimately difference between Hitler and Mother Teresa makes him feel all grown up and sophisticated. Not like us childish Christians, who naively believe in things like justice. He really is a disgusting little maggot. But he’s our disgusting little maggot, and I am glad we have him to serve as a bad example from time to time. Thanks E. |

I, like you, I'm sure, run across a lot of "Barry" types on the Net.
The epithets and denigration are so.... banal, though. His "dislikeability" really is function of his just being... boring. I can think of other much more nasty characters, who at least had the good grace to be somewhat original or creative.
DaveScot was, for example, at least mildly interesting, and at least could provide a little surprise in his language/responses.
I regularly get the sense that I'm taking a kind of "Creationist Turing Test" when engaging Barry. A badly coded one. It works for Barry, though, I guess. Being a shallow bore is a good prophylactic against critics, yeah? Who wants to invest their free time engaging that more than on an occasional drive-by basis? |
The closest comparison I have is ... toothache.
