Is Derp&Erpy a parody tripfag? If not, then did you mean for most of your response to be ad hominem? Whatever the case, I laughed the whole way through it.

>I like how all of your criticisms are all blatant tautologies of my "blatant tautologies" dipshit, putting aside the fact that all of this IS ALL TAUTOLOGOUS IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, THAT DOES NOT mEAN IT IS NOT ENLIGHTENING TO SOmE PEOPLE
I would be happy to address the circularity you think my own arguments have if you provided any evidence that they were, in fact, circular. As it is now, I'm left wondering whether you were typing with one or both ass cheeks.

Circular arguments elucidate nothing new by definition, so no one's learning anything. It's just bald assertion, and you can hide that assertion with as many words as you like, but it's just assertion without evidence.

>One text is better than another not simply because it appeals to me but because it is constructed more masterfully and more conducive to maximal human flourishing.
Both are sociological phenomena, though, and neither inherently better or worse as such. Also, do you have any evidence for such conducivity to maximal human flourishing, or are you justifying something you do to entertain yourself as something useful in the real world? There's nothing wrong with entertainment, but conflating good things with pleasurable things may be a bad habit unless you're a hedonist or have some evidence to back up these claims.
