RE: Why I Choose To Be Confrontational
Well said, Barry. I've been curious why @kyriacos isn't willing to be transparent with this community either. All he's bothered to say is he's a designer on a small island somewhere. I've added my comments here as well.
Why are you so obsessed with his identity? He writes what he writes, that's what matters, and you can react to that, agree with him, disagree, get angry, be amused, laugh out loud, think he is full of shit, has good points but doesn't know how to make them, whatever you like. How is his real-life persona relevant?
Anyway, if you're that curious, it took me all of five minutes to find out who he is, and so could you. He likes table tennis, does that help you in judging his postings?
@lukestokes
I made myself transparent to those I chose to be. I don't think it is important to know somebody's identity. Even if you find out who I am from those who do know me you will be pleasantly surprised.
And yet you actively judge who others are by the transparency they allow. Doesn't that seem like a double standard? Morality aside, from a game theory perspective, you see how they may encourage others not to participate with you because it signals you are not a trustworthy actor and have something to hide while taking full advantage of everyone else's transparency?
Non-sequitor. I judge what is written based on the histories they provide to defend their position.
Game theory is mostly a fancy word used mainly from economists that don't know how to sell their bullshit. Not a thing in the way you think it is. Whether I am trustoworthy or not can be deducted in time through my actions. This is how I always gain favour in the longterm even from those you initially dislike me.
