Disgusting Video

Oh, that must be one of those things you just learned in school recently.

Don't worry. You'll forget it in a few years (I have no idea what his name is.)

Just like the chess world will forget Nakamura.

The fact of the matter is, it is made reasonably clear in the video they give her her rank due to her impact, and perhaps it is an impact that goes way beyond chess -if  you look at the work of Ada Lovelace, it is vastly beyond many mathematicians, even discrete mathematicians;  but still 170 years later young women are told technical subjects are not for them. (I admit Newton may be more important, but read his work on the calculus back to back with hers, his work is manifestly more easy to understand to the layman than her work. <I do kind of assume people have a knowledge of both calculus and discrete mathematics......if not, what the heck are you doing here you insects?>)

You're arguing it both ways...either women are just "statistically uninterested" in chess, or women are "bad" at chess.  It can't be both.

Oh, and I went to college too, so isn't that nice heh.

I do some recreational math and programming now and then.

I was looking into machine learning. It seems you can get started pretty easily online. I was reviewing basic probability because that's involved. One of my friends had a basic one working in MATLAB but I'm wondering if I can get some simple machine learning thing programmed in python.

So yeah, a lot of people have hobbies on this site... I mean, obviously chess is a hobby too... the way you talk about yours is a little antisocial... but at the end there you seemed to open up a little, so ok, I'll make a small attempt too.

You really do have trouble expressing yourself - let me ask you, have you ever had to defend an argument at an academic level, like a post graduate degree? (Or even an undergraduate degree?)

Let me give you some expertise, beginning phrases in the manner "and it's like..." is not really an argument from strength is it? You're not even really confirming precisely what I am saying, and then you're burbling incoherently about a misunderstood statement - that is somewhat less of what is known as a 'Strawman argument',  you're not even building up a good strawman to knock down.

Don't take this as an offensive remark, but is English your 3rd or 4th language? If it's your 5th language, I totally give you allowances. I know you're not a native English speaker, and I have to give you due allowances for that, although I am not using too many complicated forms or expressions - I work in academia, so it is something I do try and avoid; but your level of comprehension does seem to present a problem. What language would you be more comfortable in?

Why not?

So it is indeed a partial judgement? Ok, great news. On another note, yes I do happen to know calculus and discrete maths given I'm a math undergrad but that's pretty irrelevant...

It was never anything but, if you actually watched the video.

See, that video was a bunch of meaning less pap (as all discussion of the GOAT are) posted for hits, but I watched it, in order to comment on the topic from a place of non-ignorance .

No, Llama's right, you're a bit much.

BTW, in American English at least, you can't give Llama some "expertise".  You can impart something to him, and he may take or leave, understand it or not, but the formation of actual "expertise" is coming from him, not from you.  That's why "expertise" and "advice" are two different words.

Language is an imprecise approximation of thought (always will be), and while knowing more languages gives you a leg up on describing nuances of concepts, etc. there are limits.  An Eskimo can tell you all about the exact nuanced type of snow that fell overnight, but translating to English will require additional paragraphs of contextual/expository information.

As for "and it's like"...this is a technique you apparently haven't been gifted "expertise" on yet .  See, when you are blunt and abrasive, it doesn't necessarily matter whether your argument is rock solid, because people won't hear you.  You are pushing them away before they get a chance to absorb what you said.  Now, lots of emotionally messed up people do this anyway, because that's their ultimate goal...to reinforce that other people are idiots and that the certainty of their own superior intelligence will keep them safe from the world.  But that is not logical or rational, and thus belies the notion of superior intelligence.

Llama knows what you apparently do not...that couching his statement with "and it's like" allows him to say something pointed to you without losing face, as you have done here by showing us your virtual behind vis-a-vis your vise-grip on your education and your intellect.  As any writer would tell you, "show, don't tell".  Knock him out with an actual argument, not the appeal to authority you are currently relying on.  Llama is also clearly a English speaker, so let's not pretend you are actually confused about whether it's a 2nd or 3rd language for him, it's just another veiled insult from a windbaggery type of place.  Oh, sorry, that was not an argument from strength...  

You, sir, are a windbag.

P.S. The university system, over a 1000 years old now, is a failing and inadequate form of education in the modern world, and as we can can all see for ourselves every time some PhD posts a "plandemic" type of video, certified education is no guarantee of expertise.  You seem to have a chip on your shoulder, and I suspect it might come from what you have done or failed to do with your Oxford/Cambridge pedigree.  

(sets down brandy sifter)

I watched fragments but there's no way I'd waste so much time in a video I strongly dislike.

Somewhere in there is reference to a windbag.

What are y'all even arguing about lol

...then I humbly submit that commenting on it here is even more of a waste of your time .

In the same breath, what makes this video disgusting?? I assume (correct me if im wrong) you found this video "disgusting" because it reveals some ugly personalities of him (snobby, arrogance, or something like these??) which is also stemmed from a weak character, bad upbringing and so on, but I dont think he can be redeemed so easily  for having that "bad luck" (unless he had some sort of terribly traumatic childhood and suffered from serious physical and psychological abuse LOL)  because these kind of flaws in manners should be corrected as one matures and lives and mingles with othe people. 

You know.... the same way that you and I see/feel/understand inappropriateness of patting self on the back, he should be able to see and understand the image he creates of himself in this types of videos.
