And we have said from the beginning that the imaginary dialog was problematic. You responded several times that he actually had every single conversation reported in the book. You have no evidence of that,
you believe it on faith.

How many times are you going to use this tired old butthurt?
I cannot "ruin it" for anyone, nobody is going to "follow my lead", I am not being relied upon to acknowledge anything, this is not a popularity contest and I am nobody's boss, guru, or leader.
So, are you done ad homming and using diversionary tactics? Do you plan to refute my points on the circularity and meaninglessness of the "movement in the direction of greater satisfaction" argument rationally? How about the non incompatibility of several forms of determinism?
I thought you wanted to discuss the principles...why do you let yourself get led down these paths?
