I don't have much to say, but one of the things I see with Lolcows is that they'll constantly parrot things that have been said to them in the past. Granted, I think that's a human behavior. I find myself speaking more and more like my father as days pass, but the thing with Lolcows is they'll repeat VERBATIM what has been said to them with absolutely no change whatsoever. This is especially prevalent with Chris. Chris obviously just says things that his parents said to him as a child, with no adaptation or situational input.
Patrick, I believe, is the same way. While I was listening to the MATI stream, all I could think was "This is how a parent talks to a toddler", "this is how a teacher scolds a misbehaving student". But not in a specific, 'these two scenarios are similar sort of way', but in a 'this guy cannot physically come up with anything original sort of way'. When he says "no child, you are not saying anything because you have nothing to say at all", that is not a response to someone who is criticizing you and calling out your bad behavior, that is your response to a child denying drawing on the way with markers in hand.
It's ironic, this man who writes science fiction has nothing original to say at all. Can he come up with an argument? Can he persuade people with his views? I would say no. He says the same exact thing to everyone because he cannot come up with an original thought. Everything he says is built upon things that were said to him as a young child. What is his Science Fiction like? Without reading it I have to imagine it's the most generic shit ever written. Is there any nuance? Does the world feel lived in and the characters, on both sides, feel like they have motivations for why they exist?
I remember reading a while ago, that sub 100 IQ individuals do not have the capacity to write a story where two characters refer to two other characters who have their own independent lives/stories, in which they refer to two other characters who have their own lives/stories. Or essentially a character referring to three degree of separation. If he can write such a story, or anyone can point to an existing peace of writing where he uses three degrees of separation, I will concede he is not a moron.
In the meantime it is my professional opinion that he is a highly stunted, socially maladjusted sociopath
