Also also, what is the "Sophic philosophical mythos?"
Aut doesn't know anything about philosophy. Either Chac told him nothing but bullshit or Aut didn't listen carefully (or listened at all, that is; he has a knack for only marking words he actually like). Concerning his severe misunderstandings about basic philosophical concepts and tools I'm quite sure he never read any handbook about philosophy. We pointed a long range of mistakes out, but he never showed any awareness about it except his usual REEEEing.
Aut repeatedly described logic as an antonym to empiricism, which is false in so many ways I don't really know how to dumb it down to describe why. Logic is the teaching of consistent thinking and thus arguing; basic logic - or just philosophical logic - is a tool. Empiricism is one way of obtaining knowledge that can be used to understand the world - it's a part of epistemology. It's a different matter, although you usually use logic to argue why empiristic insights can be correctly used to get truth anwsers about the world or not.
Aut stated idealism as synonym to logic, which is also false. Idealism is a part of epistemology. Idealism is not the opponent school of thought to empiricism - that was the job of the classical rationalism. My guess is, Aut confused idealism with rationalism.
Aut has no knowledge about logic whatsoever. You don't need to be a crack in formal logic to understand basic teachings of logic. He's often contradicting his own statements. He doesn't notice that a statement can be formally correct but still untrue and vice versa. He seems to be incapable of identifing true logic fallacies; he even tried to slap wrong fallacies on arguments he couldn't invalidate (I haven't forgot his embarassing "argumentum ad longitudinalitum " stunt - that isn't even correct latin, you can't inflect "longitudinalis" in that way).

Well, who cares? Tl;dr: He knows jack shit about basic philosophical concepts, no matter if it's about idealism, empiricism, formal logic or even mythos and logos. If he weren't such an insufferable arrogant cuck and misanthrop I wouldn't mind teaching him one thing or even two - or even give him just some reading advice. Provided he would show any signs of willingness to learn.
