Be fair, make a statement and then stand to be criticised yourself!You say: "So, you thinking being a genius is forced upon you without your consent and choice." Sorry Storm, that's your pathetic opinion which doesn't matter to me.
Never thought you' d have such difficulties with providing a simple example.
You' re "supposed" to be "intelligent" enough to find out why I refer to official works.

You' ll have to do better than that. It' s getting tiresome and repetitive.Never thought you' d have such difficulties with providing a simple example.

Official works? That's mere opinion. Do you suppose 'official' means absolute?
Were's your original idea or statement, you're still just criticising me. 😆 You're the repetitive one, because you're so unoriginal and uncreative - so predictable. 😆
Philo, you continually harp on what you perceive to be people's unoriginality. That is unoriginal of itself.
Many of your likes and beliefs are very cliche of the pseudo intellectual, but people don't comment because people don't care. Stop worrying about everyone else's originality, they will muster along in life quite well without your unwanted, unneeded and unenlightened criticisms.

You know what? it's quite arrogant and insulting when you call my philosophy pseudo-intellectual! Just because you don't understand it, or don't agree with it, doesn't mean it's pseudo intellectual. Oh, and people DO comment and do care - like you commented just now and many times before- ha! The fact that you comment on my ideas so frequently shows that it can't be that meaningless.
What I meant by unoriginality was that many members of this forum don't try to put out their own philosophy so that others can criticise them, instead they critisize mime...maybe out of jealousy....at least I made the effort to come up with my own original ideas, while others say nothing of their own, quote encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.
I did not call your philosophy psuedo intellectual. I was talking about the general class of people known as pseudo intellectuals and I did not even include you in that category, I just said that your interests represent the classic pseudo intellectual and therefore could be deemed as unoriginal.
Before you wig out please make sure you understand the meaning of what someone is trying to say and don't always be so defensive.

Don't you realise what you are saying? In the one sentence you say:"I did not call your philosophy psuedo intellectual"; then you say:"did not even include you in that category, I just said that your interests represent the classic pseudo intellectual " -- you are contradicting yourself. In the one breath you say I'm not pseudo intellectual, but in the very next breath you say I am!?
You don't include me in the category but you say I represent them???What the hell?
Unoriginal? Prove to me which of my ideas are the same as those of others.
I'm very confused as to whether you think I am pseudo intellectual or not? Please make up your mind or be clearer.
