Lol here we go, now the delusions and paranoid schizophrenia kicks in... "Oh no everyone who could possibly criticize my irrefutable and perfect ideas must all be the same person, they are all freemo!" lol...
Yup thats the problem already, your perfect infallable ideas whose only flaw might be their too perfect is far far above our minimal level of cortical activity... you got us.. darn.
@coyote I've already explained several times why I wont address your points... because you have both demonstrated that if I did neither of us would be able to derive any value from your contribution regardless of the conclusion.
@coyote I've addressed countless points on this subject over the past 2 years... Your just upset I wont invest time in addressing **your** points.. Be a person who brings value to a conversation rather than a triggered little angsty brat and maybe youll see that change.
His conceited "I am absolutely right and my only flaw is I could be too right"... is exactly the personality I pegged him for, I just wanted to give him a chance to prove me wrong... he didnt.
This right here (which I already knew) is exactly why I dont give his ideas much weight, whats the point if he isnt even critical of them.
@coyote I treat people, generally, with the same respect they treat me. Its no worse that the statements he made.. except mine has the virtue of the fact of being honest and straightforward, not attacked for the sake of attacking
I have never once expressed that a person should "trust the experts". So again not sure what your on about. At best you should consider the experts and their arguments and weigh that against your own. Scientists disagree with other experts all the time, we just make sure we ourselves are experts on any subject before we start telling people what is or isnt true... We actually care about our opinions coming from education, expertise, and understanding... no shame for that either.
I've been pretty vocally against the average person getting the current vaccines.. so not sure what your on about.
So your criticism of your theory is that you might actually be too correct, and doubt yourself too much and your theory is in fact even more correct than you thought.
Ok.. I think that answers my question regarding your character in considering your own mistakes or incorporating contrary ideas to your own. Thanks.
Ok, and what are the most valid criticisms against your points that you have considered so far? In what ways do you feel there is potential for you to be wrong?

Well I already have some data points to answer that based on how you conduct yourself in this and other threads. I also get some insight by the way you answered my question about if you did a write up.
Obviously i wont waste my time on your whole timeline but if you have specific posts you've made where you show yourself changing your mind and incorporating new opposing ideas into your own then please, by all means, share it, I will read.
Its not about convincing people like me.. Its a question of your own character.. Are you dogmatic and stuborn and just make shit up with little rigor, dont seek out counter-opinions and integrate them... and thus never really develop a meaningful opinion on things... or... are you constantly improving your opinions and integrating new information without reliance on confirmation bias and ego...
Which of those two characters you happen to have makes all the difference.
Ok.. funny its almost as if I dont care about the opinion of a emotionally constantly triggered sewer rat... who woulda thunk.
Exactly. you never made a clear well written case, nor did you make it public so anyone could critique it... you basically made some spitballed uneducated back of a napkin numbers that were wrong and called it a day... sorry but that has very little value if your trying to convince anyone to think you have a leg to stand on. Even if you are right you have to articulate to convince people.
I didnt ignore his first points, I did misunderstand them. It only took a few messages before he pointed out what he meant and I apologized and said he was right.
Just gonna ignore that part huh? And you wonder why i devalued your contribution to discussions.
Like i said, the value is an approximate so you will see higher and lower numbers, so I dont doubt youll find some 30% figures. But even as you point out, thats on the fringe high end of estimates.
And yea your perfectly find in saying that coronavirus class viruses (unrelated to THE coronavirus however) causes a minority of cold cases. Though as I pointed out the Rhinovirus class is the most common cause of colds at 30% - 80%.
