English is a secondary language for me. Should you be able to read and understand French, I could give you a real idea of what is "being insanely pompous".
Furthermore, it's true you seem to display a lot of confusions within basic epistemological terminology. I really think it.
But you know, this fight is rigged: you want to defeat me on my own battleground. Sun Tzu would have warned you this is hopeless, and that this atitude is a sign of arrogance (indeed!).
You're becoming wiser, but it's not yet completely accurate.
1) I'm not playing down
others, I'm playing
you down .
I'm only reacting to your own contradictions, I find them strange, weird, and well, ENTPs are playful by nature.
2) Indeed, I have lot of insecurities. But I do not feel especially humiliated to admit it. Insecurities are the driving forces behind my curiosity. Do you think Philosophy as a whole would have a purpose without the existential angst we all share?
As a matter of fact, it's also the difference between your reasoning and mine. As I said, you
believe in
absolute truths. While I think that each assertion must be put into context, to determine whether they are more valid than the others, or not!
And that is an absolute rule.
Anyway. Again, ENTPs are playful.
What are you afraid of?
