I attempted a respectful exit from this exchange, having concluded (correctly) that we would not get anywhere, which you replied to by doubly insulting me, so for you to lecture me about treating people with respect is pretty rich:https://twitter.com/anti_minotaur/status/1434671061061316610 …

Yeah, if people are going to deflect from their blatant misrepresentations by saying "Well we just disagree on too many premises" I'm going to call them on it. This whole convo is a giant deflection from the fact that guy never said or implied anything you imputed to him.

Twitter dot com salutes you for your brave call out of dangerous misinformation!

Hilarious. But I suspect the reason you're not arguing the point is because you know you have no leg to stand on and just want to chalk it up to hyperbole.

I’m not arguing the point because there’s no purpose in doing so! You already reject all of my views on all of this, and there is no conceivable scenario in which you would accept the implications I draw from the OP. The opposite is also true.

In a certain sense that's true. I don't have any premises that require me to contort what other people say into obviously ridiculous positions no one holds. Or, to the extent I do, I would like to get rid of them.

If you think that your arguments don’t proceed from tacitly assumed premises, you’re deluded. And I call utter BS on the second point, since the fact that you aggressively attack only one sort of Covid take is no coincidence.

I do have premises, I just don't have ones that require me to misinterpret what people are saying for them to be sustained. As for the latter point there is one side of the covid debate that is much, much more unreasonable than the other, on other issues I'm more balanced.
