Look friend.
You said you understood from the beginning that the text in question was Land’s.
In your first comment, though, you clearly show that not to be the case:
> I do not see how you are doing that. You state Pythia mind experiment. And then react to it: “You go girl!”. I suppose both the description of the mind experiment and the reaction are faithful. But there is no actual engagement between orthogonality thesis and Land’s ideas.
This clearly marks me as the author, as separated from Land.
I find it hard to keep engaging under an assumption of good faith on these premises.
er—this defeats all rules of conversational pragmatics but look, i concede if it stops further more preposterous rebuttals.
of course it doesn’t. my opinion on your good faith depends on whether you are able to admit having deeply misunderstood the post.
saying something of substance: i did, in the post. id respond to object-level criticism if you provided some—i just see status-jousting, formal pedantry, and random fnords.
have you read The Obliqueness Thesis btw? as i mentioned above, that’s a gloss on the same texts that you might find more accessible—per editor’s note, i contributed this to help those who’d want to check the sources upon reading it, so im not really sure how writing my own arguments would help.
