That doesn’t sound like “thank you.” Regardless, feel free to adopt some version of the syllogism above, so that you can have more honest conversations with people in the future. Clarity is important if you’re interested in getting to the truth. It’s a shame we wasted so much time and now can no longer debate the actual premises of your dumb argument. That’s the fun part, after all.
Like I said, the only thing clear in this conversation is that you know actually nothing about anything in it. You don't know what Chomsky is saying because you haven't read him. You are stuck in this weird little self sucking loop where you think you are making a point, but you aren't. You don't know Chomsky, you don't know language, language theory, or computer science. You should just be apologizing for your ignorance and saying that you'll do the work to be taken seriously next time.
The only thing here that's a shame is you.
Your responses are so unhinged. Is your ego that fragile? What’s the point? Why not just learn from your mistake and do better next time?
Such a long post that could be summarized by "I don't like you".
Right or wrong, we had to wait 10 paragraphs for a concise version of your argument, which your opponent made for you. And, without the fog of obscure language, your point isn't the slam dunk you think it is, and that's driving you mad.
And now, you're just insulting them. Let me tell you, if there's someone that sounds like a pseudo-intellectual buffoon here, it's you.
