Keep it in ... gmmhNo surprise certain branches of philosophy are perceived as useless; and people forcing their pointless jibber jabber on others appear arrogant, always evasive and seem never able to be clear about anything ... and in the end saying nothing! I'd define it as being irritating with intent.
Look at your thread, you propose nothing, if not false or non-related, you defend it with nothing, you conclude or rather assume what suits you without any evidence or fact and defend it with vague definitions and excuses; philosophy this, read that... All of which all sounds like an appeal to authority to me.
In the end you appear like a very literate troll, having engaged a bunch of people for nothing but your entertainment. And if you are open and earnest about what you say, that should give you something to think about the content and value of the type of 'philosophy' you adhere to.
This thread is a bag of hot air.
Just as a final reply, as it would be rude to leave my own thread without acknowleding someone's reply -
It's a pity you can't see beyond what you are used to, and have no intention to make effort to learn and understand things you are not familiar with. But hey, it's your life and people live how they want.
If you can only see 'nothing' in my post you clearly have no capability to understand what I have been saying, and you make no effort to learn to understand it. I've pointed you classic resources you can read up on so you can understand something you don't understand now, but you resent my support. It's like someone points to an explanation of how something works but you refuse to read it and refuse to listen to the explanation and make judgement on things you are not familiar with based on your own prejudices and within your own limitations.
But it's ok. Your life, your choice.
Good luck o7
Edit; One of the dude I recommended as reading, Baudrillard, pulled an infamous f*cl you to academics by writing a paper with made up references, to make mockery of how people use references and name drops to 'rely on authority for their arguments as you say. I love that. That's why I did say that I don't like name dropping, as I agree with Budrillard on this. But it's kind hard to point you to study resources without saying the names of authors or books. I'm sincerely sorry if this was misunderstood and you took offence. My old time teaching instinct kicked in and I just wanted to recommend you good reference sources to help you, much like how people recommend specific blogs, articles or youtube videos to new bros to help them understand the EVE game mechanic.
