He's a typical case of an "I am very smart" midwit who thinks you can be smart if you just learn these simple tricks. He read some book on logical fallacies and assumed he now gets how the world works. He's a lesswrong type of guy. He's shtick is "define "definitions", "what do you mean by "what do you mean"?", "do you have a peer reviewed study to back that claim?" because he heard actual smart guys saying that so he tries to sound like them. Fake it till you make it.People who say "Destiny can debate" on this thread keep forgetting that he debates mental midgets to look good. Pit him against people who are actually knowledgeable or just know how to argue and he falls apart.
You couldn't even defend the claim that the Sun rises in the East if your opponnent constantly bombards you with requests to define "Sun", "East", back that up with peer reviewed studies and also what about cultures that don't have the concept of "East"?
He also commits fallacies when it suits him, I don't know if he does it to "own the chuds" or because he's too autistic to realize that the world is a bit more complicated than Logic 101. The spectrum falacy when debating "Yeah, but what is white? Are Italians white? Where does white start?" comes to mind for example. Or when he tried to invalidate the concept of "woman" because of some edge cases. "Oh, so women have uteruses? What about about women who had hysterectomy? Oh, so women can have children? What about sterile women? Oh, so women have XX chromozomes, what about XXX genetic disorder? Gotcha, chud, smugface.jpg". (just in case someone is wondering, consider the statement "humans have two legs", you can attack it by mentioning amputees, people born with more limbs, asking for a definition of a leg(e.g. is a stump a leg? is prentally malformed leg a leg?) and so on, but this doesn't change the fact that everybody on this Earth instantly understands what "humans have two legs" means, that there is a "normal" state of a human, who has two legs, and that there are outliers and edgecases)
