Hi Yuri -
You asked me to give you an example of your tendency toward binary thinking.
The above is a classic.
Your response to Mike was basically an attempt to take the high ground
("it may take you a few more years to understand", "Get on with your
education") and close out the dialogue without adding any content.
What you did was re-assert your belief and express contempt for Mike
for not being educated and perceptive enough to share it. We all know by now
how strongly you believe that your point of view is a preferred one. I'm
still waiting for you to argue the point rather than re-stating it as
though it ought to be obvious to any decent person. It isn't.
Convince us.
