"They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words."

Sartre didn't respect your kind and I don't either.

Sounds like Sartre didn't respect your kind, or am I misreading it? He is the one using the words responsibly and you are the one who made a frivolous remark.

Sounds like you also don't respect your own kind.

Do you have specific evidence of an educational institution that added "gender studies" and concurrently removed "personal finance, economics, and rational decision making?"

Because that's what meta_gunslinger claimed while you say he was using words "responsibly".

Who do you think "my own kind" are, anyhow?

Not sure about specifically gender studies, but DEI-related stuff was mandated in California universities at the cost of social sciences category that includes economics.

Sartre was a nihilistc pdf-file and a prolific liar. I don't have any respect for his ilk either.

What was that about ad hominems again? ;-)

Don’t know, just just made an argument from authority and I’m discrediting said authority.

Here you go, I'll remind you of what you said:

> Ad-hominem is what you resort to when having no argument ;)

I only need a valid argument when responding to a valid argument. You have made none thus far therefore I’m entitled to respond in kind.

> I only need a valid argument when responding to a valid argument.

Likewise!
