Would you like to provide us a more specific outline of what individualism means to you? Or perhaps respond to what I said in other places?

And finding no problem with actual content you pretend that my RHP forum entries are substandard because they do not meet the criteria for publication at the American journal of philosophy.

I think you are getting carried away with your dislike of everything I do.

Hey, I've always meant ot take a vacation in Indonesia. I even thought of going there this summer or next winter (taking a big Euro vacation in 2019 to visit some of my ancestors grave and celebrate my cousins 50th). Maybe we'll get some pics of FMF & I on Surf Boards. Because that's who I am.

Forgive me for not properly understanding your mystical word salad in the OP..

Usually people with high verbal intelligence use this to explain things clearly and facilitate discussion. They use it to articulate things.
It seems you devote a lot of your verbal intelligence towards beign an obstacle and aggravating people -- ironically, this is fulfileld by a paucity of words.
It serves to frustrate and to also provide as small of a target as possible for attack.
I've probably typed thousands of words in interaction with you and nearly all of them are about my positions and your obtuse reactions to them, which, in a sense, shows the success of your tactic at shifting discussion away from your weak positions.

Originally posted by @philokaliaIf you want to shroud your misanthropy in verbosity, that's a matter for you. I'm putting straightforward things to you without blathering on. The word "aggravating" presumably refers to you dancing around worrying about whether people like you. I am happy with the "paucity of words" in my OP and with the John Ralston Saul definition of "individualism". To me, you wittering on opaquely about "snowflakes" and asking people to "unlock" your pretentious twaddle, is just blather.

But can we really say that everyone has some measured level of individualism? I also think this buys into the gross cult of atomization where everyone is supposed to be as snowflake as possible to gain a snow. A lot to unpack with that sentence -- but do feel free to start unpacking.

BTW, rumor is ToO is going to throw his hat into the ring any day now. He’s been trolling like a pro the past few days and Ghost apparently has convinced him to run.
Why am I telling you all this? You need to “up your game.”

You are afraid to engage in a debate because you only like needling and don't like protracted discussion.
I live for protracted discussion because I like to refine and improve my ideas, not guard them like sacred idols to be preserved at all cost.
