Nobody cares, MathFan. You've already been exposed time and again as a pseudo-intellectual wanker who lacks the intellect to have a reasonable discussion without misrepresenting what the other person says in order to try to make yourself feel smart.

In essence, your argument is:

Since I am skeptical of the existence of Ancient Extraterrestrial Engineers being responsible for life on Earth, that evidences a distinct lack of critical thought.

How far 'outside the box' am I, and others, required to go in order to gain your approval? Considering, I know of (many) Twilight Zone episodes that are substantially more plausible than the scenario you are asking us to believe, in the absence of evidence.

In essence, your argument is

You do not have any authority to tell me what my argument is, you unfathomably dishonest twerp. You repeatedly begin your posts with phrases like that above.

As I pointed out earlier, you unfortunately lack the intelligence to have a reasonable discussion without distorting or misrepresenting what the other person says. Exactly as is the case with Amarel, your posts are always long examples of the straw man argumentation fallacy.

“The Mora Epistles” is an audiobook that I’m casually listening to when something else doesn’t take me. I’m 1/4 of the way through it, but I already find Seneca a better thinker than Marcus Aurelius.

If you like Stoicism, “A Guide to the Good Life” by William Irvine put me into them.

Yes, I find Stoicism very informative and useful. I will be sure to check that book out, thanks for the recommendation.
