...without even messing with the niceities of postmodernism, i can say quite
easily that the notion of "tu quoque" makes a very fine branding iron for
stupid people. this ridiculously useless exercise in mental masturbation is
an elaborate form of a similar notion i heard many years ago..it went
something like, "i know you are, but what am i?"...followed in time by, "im
rubber, your glue...". not surprisingly these tools of the stupid have
'subjectively' saved face for many an imbecile the world over, whom without
such a readily available force-field of "dumbness", would have been entirely
defenseless.
...so it is not surprising that in the early teenage years, this format once
again arose to defend the ill-equipped. it often seemed to coincide with
religious 'would-be' scientists who might utter something like, "well, how
do you know that's really real?" ad infinitum. at some final point i
suppose you were supposed to start questioning if your thoughts on
questioning your thoughts was 'real'. this is such a moronic line of
reasoning that i'm not even going to address it.
...regardless, this whole notion of, "well, i cant intellectually defend
myself, so i'll attack his very words by questioning the very letters
themselves which make up his sentence" is a pretty pitiful one and should be
left to those both limited to and fascinated by such simplistic examples of
funkiness in our existence.
