1. Real is irrelevant if all interaction can be learned from, a good chess player will not just play the right moves, but he'll play the player.
2. At least you admit your ineptitude. Good man!
3. I don't have to convince you of anything. Besides you're an idiot, I shouldn't expect you to understand.
4. The game doesn't matter... It's just a game... ;)
by SyntheticBut for you to say that playing to win is insecurity is ridiculous.
lol. Every time Daddy makes a stupid comment like this he invalidates his claim of being a psychopath.
Psychopaths play to win because winning is an expression of domination, power and success. To be on top, you have to play to win.
Daddy doesn't seem to recognize that though, which is also proof he's not the alpha male he claims to be. He's just a poser.
1. Of course. And he will still play to mate.
2. I accept the futility of the situation. We don't speak the same language, attempts to communicate are pointless and I lack the motivation to try to translate.
3. If you honestly thought I was an idiot, you wouldn't still be talking. I'm just bored with this "you're dumb" back and forth when there are interesting concepts to discuss. I'd reiterate my first response to point 3, which was can we get back to the discussion, but I suppose it's over now. C'est la vie.
4. Objectively, you can make that sort of existential point about anything, but if you want to do something, you absolutely have to act as though it matters.
I'm not sure what your point is here aside from being contrary, so if you want to sum yours up I'll do the same and we can shake hands and move on or whatever the internet debate equivalent would be.
Ugh. This defensive posturing of yours makes you sound like a broken record, Jay. Cease and desist.
Synthetic has totally owned your ass in this debate. Her point regarding manipulation is absolutely valid, and a chilling testament to her level of self-awareness.
It also points to rationalization and self-justification mechanisms that are so well-developed and ingrained that the threat of any significant emotional impact to the ego is minimized. Emotional threats are likely to trigger a toxic pattern of abuse, involving the objectification, progressive emotional detachment towards and eventual sadistic victimization of the target.
?
Lol.
1. Checkmate is the result of a game well played. But playing the game well, feeling the flow of significant maneuvers is what one finds rewarding during a game of chess. The goal may be checkmate, but that is not the reason for playing.
2. You've already expressed your ineptitude, no need to continue beating yourself up about it.
3. I don't think you're an idiot, I was impressed by your mental chess, and I enjoyed it for the maneuvers. Not the end game. ;)
4. That depends on what you want do do. Sometimes you need to act as though it doesn't matter to project the proper perspective in your opponents mind.
5. I'm just being contrary.
