nature of man- siegfried rambles

[siegfriedandroy]

most of your arguments (at least most of the guys on this forum) are not very logical at all. some of them make me think a bit, but most of them are in reality quite illogical and not compelling. the narrow thinking and inability to even question basic philosophical issues is appalling. it is foolish to be arrogant, condescending, to patronize, etc when you know very little. most of you are merely products of your times, culture, etc, which conditions you entirely- yet you still love to fantasize how you are original, free and independent thinkers.

(not directed at you, in particular, hashi! just my general impressions of this forum. and of course, there are some who are fairly intelligent and reasonably decent at thinking well. on the whole, though, i am quite disappointed.)
