The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

Oh No! I have insulted a great mind! [beep] that! He was a nutcase and died a nutcase. End of story and get over it will ya. Nietzsche was nothing more than atheist that took everything serious in life! Thats why he died bitter and lonely and looney.
How did I became a moderator? Ask Raz! He gave me the spot!
I like some stuff Nietzsche said, although he was a hard misogynist.
He changed the way we view language theory today - before it was thought that 'picture-word' theory was true. When he came along he challenged the idea - what picture do we have in out heads when we say ''truth''? Its subjective.
Loony or not loony, he is regarded, and always will be regarded as one of the great philosophers of our time.

Don't get me wrong I'm only saying Nietzche was looney tunes, but he was far far away from being an idiot. During his sanity years he was indeed a great thinker. Besides he said some naughty things about Plato and Socrates in his writings. So basically I'm only doing Plato and Socrates a little bit of justice. I have respect for him, but I just don't take him too serious.

How original to quote from someone else to back you up! At least I took the trouble to construct my own dictum: IGNORANCE IS A BOTHERSOME FLY TO INTELLECTUALS.
Well, illusion of knowledge? tell that to your self. I don't claim to have knowledge...knowledge is in any case not indicative of intelligence - intelligence is the ability to think logical and rational and creative on a superior level.
Anyway, if one is ignorant, one surely will not discover anything, not even one's own ignorance!

That's it! I don't care if you call me names or insult my posts. But that attitude towards lil bitchiness isn't acceptable! Take some days off the board.
You came up to my expectations, very predictable reply.
You also probably took the trouble to construct your own dictum when you quoted Nietzsche.
Bye.

What the f*ck is insulting about calling someone ignorant!? Windancer and lil bitchiness, the two of you are childish in being affected by me calling people ignorant. This forum seems to me to be flooded by total f*ucking no-brainers, no philosophers. Well, screw all of you moderators acting like police men!
