Not the point. Wood pushing to beat the clock is for dummies. You are living proof of that.

I like this, though...and I've seen it before. A pretty good definition of pantheism (which is the last refuge before atheism):

All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death life is only a dream we are an imagination of ourselves- Bill Hicks

I'll take two of whatever Bill Hicks was on.

He was on lots of things, depending when in life you caught him, but he wasn't even close to talking about pantheism.  So not sure what that's about.

Mocking New Agey hippy dippy woo-wooism, if anything.

Plus he might be right.

It's pretty clear we are living inside of a computer simulation.

The evidence is mounting. Its already the most statistically likely scenario.

I can't help but add...

   If you think that only your views are "common sense" and that having "common ground", as in a consensus, is essential to righteousness...then you are a hopelessly deluded bigot.

   Saying that, I am an individualist and don't have all these mandates about other people and what they should think. Have a nice day, son.

I never said anything of the sort, why are you putting words in my mouth?

I can do the same thing. Next time you send me a private text telling me your opinion about asians and black people, I will gladly put it in the forum so everyone here can see what type of person you really are.Then everyone will know who the bigot is.

chess_gg:

I agree with your position on this thread that Anyone can't become a Grandmaster, but there is one thing you do that irritates people and undermines your logic.

Why do you continually refer to people as "Son"?  Maybe you are old enough to be everyone's dad (or granddad).  Maybe no, I don't know, but, you clearly didn't father every person on here you call Son.

I guess you are doing it to make them look petty and small, but really it just makes you seem that way.

   Son, I am a 3.9 GPA college graduate and a retired business owner and I have been on the internet for 20 years. You think you are going to "outfox" me with your shenanigans?

   You've edited out stuff that you've written, you've gotten some of your buddies to act like thugs and post things I didn't write...and "this one takes the cake":

   blah blah

You misrepresent thing to suit you.

I extended the olive branch, you swatted it away with your bile. I am done with you, "son".

I call him son because I know it irritates him. Just as he has called me stupid, moron and racist. (And, I am probably at least 40 years older than him.)

Thanks for putting in your 2-cents. Now, if you agree with my position...why don't you inject your 2-cents on him, as well?

I'm not sure what he is talking about, but it has nothing to do with this thread.  I'll let you two work this out.

I'm not sure getting constantly trolled into arguing with teenagers is the best way to prove the value of decades of wisdom.

Not everyone can be a GM nor can everyone win the basketball slam dunk contest if they just practiced and tried hard enough

imitation may be a way to improve your own game

masters play blitz for fun and to sharpen their skills

We don't need to become a Grandmaster. If we are able to win every game we play, we are already a Grandmaster. We don't even need to know how to become one for they will come looking for us if we really plays that well.

what does that mean? if you become it they will come??
