> Is this for real? Frankly, I think you should be the one answering that question. You’re comparing appreciating looking at the sky to bestiality. Then you follow it up with another barrage of wrong assumptions about what I think and can or cannot articulate. None of that has anything to do with the argument. I didn’t even touch on LLMs, my point was squarely about the human experience. Please don’t assume things you know nothing about regarding other people. The HN guidelines ask you to not engage in bad faith and to steel man the other person’s argument. | ||

> You’re comparing appreciating looking at the sky to bestiality. That’s my point. You think beauty is profound but this is arbitrary and not at all different from bestiality. It’s only your intrinsic cultural biases that cause you to look at one with disdain. Don’t be a snob. This is HN. We are supposed to be logical and immune from the biases that plague other forums. Beauty is no more profound than bestiality. It’s all about what you find beautiful. If you find beasts beautiful then you call it beastiality? What is so different about finding a beast beautiful versus the night sky? Snobbery, that’s what. It’s just semantic manipulation and association with crudeness that prevents you from thinking logically. HNers are better than this and so are you. Don’t pretend you don’t get it and that my comparison to beastiality is so left field that it’s incomprehensible. You get it. Follow the rules and take it in good faith like you said yourself. > The HN guidelines ask you to not engage in bad faith Fair I edited the part that asks “is this for real” that’s literally the only part. I also find your dismissiveness of my arguments as “bestiality” is bad faith and manipulative. I clearly wasn’t doing that. Pigs are attracted to pigs that is normal. Humans are not attracted to pigs. That is also normal. I took normal attributes of human nature and compared it to reality. You took it in bad faith and dismissed me which is against the very rules you stated. |
