The consistent downvoting of your posts should give you some indication that your arguments are not going to be well received here. I don’t intend to continue this discussion further for the following reasons:
I don’t believe you’re here to genuinely arrive at truer beliefs. I think you’re here to try and convert us.
You did not answer the one direct question I asked you to answer (which, among other things, leads me to conclude the above.)
Other people on this site are far more willing to refute your arguments and will do a better job, and have been doing so.
I don’t think you have enough background (have read enough of the sequences) in why I (or LW in general) believes what we believe for you and I to be able to have a conversation productive enough to be enjoyable to me. Most of the ensuing discussion would probably consist of me spending 15 minutes looking up exactly which of Eliezer’s posts refuted the point you made in your most recent post, and linking you to it, at which point, you probably wouldn’t read what I linked to anyway.
