Why are you guys so mean to me?
Just kidding.
How is anything I'm saying constituting a meltdown?
This is what I can say which is pertinent about TA:
he boasts wild claims and yet never verifies any of them. I resent it somewhat being a person of credibility and speaking with people and explaining my background, only to have them doubt me because people like TA exist and deceive as they do. It's because so many people are dishonest in this dog eat dog world, that people need to protect themselves. Evolution being the mechanism for which this occurs.
It reminds me of a story in one of EC comics science titles "Weird Fantasy" more than likely, that I read in 1993 about a tribe who could only communicate by reading each other's minds. Finally when an American explorer discovered the tribe and taught them how to speak, with that came the ability to lie and deceive. In the end, the explorer ended up getting killed and I suppose the moral of the story was not to upset the balance of nature, although it's been 15 years since I read it.
Anyway, I relate this story because in TA's case, it is because people like him exist that we evolve tendencies to protect ourselves from others.
If there was a god, he would have made an honest world for honest men where scum die off. But what have we got? An efficient world of evolution where things apparently "just are". A world where the easiest path is taken by evolving nucleotides, thus paving the way for societies where all manner of amoral scum can rise to the top in the name of efficiency. It's sad, but I don't see any other truth right now.
As for my credentials, here they are:
