But I don't think he's embarked on any such organized argument. He's just throwing around vacuous Price Club slogans to distract from his inability to actually engage in this discussion.

It's amazing how a culture living completely in tune with nature like the Native Americans could be devastated by smallpox.
Guess they weren't living right. If only one Dave Hawkins were around to teach them how to live properly, maybe they would've been able to fend off smallpox.

Hey. That reminds me... :
Or maybe he got "ahold" of those studies, and they match the graph, above, and Hawkins thought the less said about it the better?

Here's my guess: Dave is fully aware of all the flaws in his worldview. He is familiar with all the arguments that he has no response to, and he meticulously avoids them. See the latest example with Pingu's question. No doubt, he thinks that there must be a good answer to all those things he cannot address, he just doesn't have one at the moment. Sure, he could look for one, but why bother? He knows we're wrong and he's right, therefore a good answer to all those arguments that show him wrong DOES exist out there. No point wasting time finding it- knowing it's there is enough for him. End of story. That's why he thinks that his continuous evasion is not a sign of dishonesty. It's a shame that he's wrong, and he's actually being dishonest- towards himself first of all.

Well, I think it's interesting that now that his vanity thread is in TIH (and therefore not visible for outside linkers), he's lost interested in posting there. And thinks too much of himself as a "scientist" to lower his dignity by posting in ASS, even though he thinks he is doing alternative science.
So now he's just shitting up other threads with his random bullshit, and as usual not answering any probing question at all. So there's not much point in even attempting to get him to engage - not that there ever was. It seems to me now utterly clear that he was always doing this to give the illusion to his potential gullible rubes that he could run rings round real octohatters. If he can't do that, he won't bother to post, I don't expect. ETA: especially to posts that reveal to him that he goofed.

Oh hey, we've known that for years. He's only witnessing, and always has been. He sees himself as a valiant Christian in the Colosseum, standing up to the lions and the mob.
(where octohatters are the lions, and the mob is any layperson even tenuously acquainted with reality) |

That way, when he starts threadShitting, we can shove that post into Dave's ASS.

I don't think he's particularly religious. I think what Dave believes in is Dave's Brilliance. Playing Simultaneous Chess with dozens of Octohatters on a Science Forum is the impression he's after creating. But that's no use to him if he can't link to it, and it be a Science Forum. He wasn't best pleased to find himself in HASH, but ASS would be beyond the pale and you can't link to TIH. It's not for the pews, it's for the Potential Investors. And possibly for the Ladies.
