Ad hominems are always a nice way of getting out of answering something you have no answer to.

- vixen99 6mo agoIn other words, you don't think it's nice at all.
- vidarh 6mo agoYes, it is rather overt sarcasm.
- amenhotep 6mo agoIt's not an ad hominem. In fact, it's perhaps the most good faith interpretation of your words possible. Ad hominem would be calling you stupid because you obviously know that you have a self and only your own stupidity could explain your inability to see how your self is generalisable. When you go around pretending you genuinely think maybe humans don't have selves, really the only way to take you seriously is to think that maybe you're a p-zombie.
- vidarh 6mo agoIt was an ad hominem, and so is this. I do not pretend. I asked honest questions that clearly neither you nor the previous person are able to answer.
