      I did search for it, I guess that I over did the search terms and should have just searched the word itself. Thanks! Word of the day I guess!

        If my approach to understanding was so flawed as to fail at looking up a word I would be deeply concerned about the quality of my thinking.

          Ignore all the arguments I made and just focus on a single unrelated mistake?

            mate, you can’t even figure out what a word means. Everything you believe is suspect if your approach is that sloppy.

            Fix your approach to learning, then form opinions.

              Sure, very convenient for you to find one thing I did wrong and ignore everything else. I’m definitely the one with flawed logic…

              I just thought that “gaol” is some hebrew word like idf or kneeset, so I searched with that assumption. Stupid mistake? Sure, does it make me an idiot that can’t have valid opinions? No.

                It actually does though.

                You had a hanging question, and rather than try to resolve it in literally the most foundational way: do I understand what the words in front of me mean, let me examine them. You decided to forge on ahead.

                It is a deeply flawed approach that speaks to disordered thinking and an education lacking in a systemic approach. This doesn’t mean you’re bad or whatever but it’s like trying to make a chair by starting with the glue.

                Fix your fundamentals

                    Why do you care about being right more than thinking well? I don’t matter, whether you “own” me in some stupid discussion on a link aggregator for hideous freaks doesn’t matter.

                    Your approach to learning is awful, you can fix it, why aren’t you keen to?
