omg you think it's about winning, lol.

vs

You lost this one.

Regardless of what you think this is about, I will say this (about me), you can "ridicule" me if you like, I have thick skin. It is useful (right or wrong) to me, to understand that when I identify with an illusion, I am getting an emotional pay off from it, whatever it might be.

Whatever it might be sounds like a useful pointer, lolol.

JK didn't come up with it and never claimed to.

Really, there is another person who claimed that all illusions offer comfort before him?

Also if you were including, illusions by TV networks and magicians and the like, you're being immature.

O really, I'm being immature if I include all forms of illusions because the quote didn't explicitly conclude that all forms of illusions offer comfort. Because you just might realize that the quote went from IDENTIFYING to the conclusion that ONE FINDS COMFORT IN ALL FORMS OF ILLUSION. Identifying isn't an illusion, identifying is an act, incredibly important, not because it's an illusion, but because identifying forms the basis of knowledge, and recognition, realization, enlightenment.

I don't mind your questioning but don't be a troll, you end up looking like a knobgobbler (I use terms like this in a friendly way, if you are offended by them, ...well too bad).

Thank you for exemplifying your need to find comfort in the illusions you hold about me. First I lost, then I'm obsessed with winning, and now you justify calling me names after accusing me of being a troll. You're a dumbass, I don't care if you get offended, when I insult someone I mean to.

I am glad you posted so people can go find out for themselves whether JK is a liar and a hypocrite.

It's a fact of life, the quote is only direct evidence that he was peddling nonsense, the fact that you cannot appreciate someone pointing out a false conclusion is probably related with the fact that you do not understand that ad hominem is a fallacy if it doesn't add substance or is essential to the argument, and the fact that you have the need to defend that character.

To me that is irrelevant, but people need to find out for themselves, thanks.

A man who wrote extensively about enlightenment, and everyone lauded him for being enlightened, is exposed as a liar, fraud, scammer, hypocrite and cheat, and imbecile, and to you it's irrelevant. You only quoted the man, defended his character by saying that those things are opinions without even cursory evaluation, denying that the quote was about "all forms of illusion offer comfort" only after marginally acknowledging that it might not be completely accurate, which you have changed into yes all illusions offer comfort, and even tried to twist it into "the act of creating illusions offers comfort, and not illusions themselves", and no wonder at all why you don't find it relevant. Cognitive dissonance says you know me though, because I must be a troll, otherwise you cannot excuse the bullshit and disrespect you flung my way? How good do you know me, have you read all I wrote at least? No guess there, you hardly approached the quote with an inquisitive mind, you can pretend like you shed some great wisdom with your post, but it's pure epic shit, the quote is hardly doing it justice even if it was accurate. You already find it useful, that you understand that when you identify with a name, a gender or a memory, you're getting an emotional payload from it, whatever it might be, too bad you qualifying "whatever it might be" shucks all usefulness out the window. You can give all the credence to the quote or the quality of illusions, at the end of the day you cannot appreciate basic logic and hurl insults without care and accusations without proof. If you cannot resolve inconsistencies in logic, if you cannot see how addressing the conclusion is essential and not "cherry picking", what hope do you have to grasp something as basic as "not all comfort is a scam".

That is why I didn't flag your posts, someone is using your name and cut and pasting comments, which I will flag (unless they are funny).

I don't care, you assumed that other person was me, the powers of observation and common sense evade you and that's why you feel trolled, since you see my arguments as attacks on your person, not attacks on your argument, and why you thought that numerous attacks on my character and person were warranted from the beginning.
