That's rather the point.

Is that something people choose deliberately?

No, it's a disease.

Do we hate people for something beyond their control?

Yes, if we're morons.

Meaning, we're back to morons.
Nothing insane. Some of those ideas you will find in the US far-right where they are widely circulated in websites like Breitbart. The previous executive chair of this website is an advisor of Trump now, Steve Bannon.
Some others of his ideas are not publicly endorsed anymore but they are still well
followed.
So, no. We are not back to you.

That is a very simplistic view on how someone communicates.

Well, in the real world - those are the only two options.

I'm not sure it's relevant that it's a simple truth or not.

Again, if he means everything he says - then we can be reasonably sure he's insane. If he does not - then we have absolutely no way of knowing what he actually means and what he doesn't mean.

There's no way around that.

Cleve spend YEARS to paint himself as an asshole. I'm simply taking him at his word…

Yes, I know you don't actually care about the truth. That's the moron part.

Cleve Blackmore has a capering id when he gets on the internet. Just lets it fly with little or no filter inhibitions. More people should be like him, though admittedly his thoughts and opinions are quite unappetizing at times. Is he insane? Absolutely not.

oh you are wrong. I don't pretend that i know the truth. But, like scientists, I build models based on my best knowledge at the time. And my model of Cleve very much resembles a model of an asshole. But that might just be a pure coincidence.

You mean, your model of someone you've never met, seen or talked to.

Yeah, that seems very much like what a scientist would do.

Well, how to tell you that gently DArt…. scientists never met, seen or talked to the Dark Matter yet they're happily constructing models of it…

Met, seen, talked, judged or applied moral values to.

Yes, that's quite right.

They have a working theory based on their current information.

When it comes to Cleve - we have to assume he's a human being. From that point of view, our knowledge is pretty thorough.

Well, yours clearly isn't.

But, how to tell you gently…. Human beings aren't necessarily what we imagine them to be based on quotes attributed to them.

Why would I like a man who in high probability will start World War III? At least I can distance myself and find someone like Cleve entertaining since he has absolutely no power in the world. Have some brains, will ya?
