2 things

More than 1 thing and less that 3 things.
Hym "...Hahaha!"

Iam "Oh! Before we go, 2 things: To answer your question about 'what we imitate,' the thing we imitate is 'the thing that creates the world with articulated thought.' I don't know if you were leaving it open for dramatic effect or if you genuinely don't know the answer but, yeah... And about the postmodernist assertion that the impetus behind our action is the drive to power. The reason the is no articulated counter argument is that he his correct. But only situationally. That is a thing that people do, sometimes. That's what you haven't seemed to learn yet. There is no 'We.' There is only 'You (in aggregate)' I think it's a bit of a projection on his part. So, yeah, that's the response. 'Situationally but not in general.' "

Withdrawal

Hey that whole episode sounds familiar! It sounds just like the schizophrenia you’re trying to impose on me. Neat. It’s almost like that’s by design.

Hym “That ‘You did this to yourself’ stuff you keep saying is exactly what a narcissist would say. I’d say it’s pretty good evidence of the assertion I made about parent’s attachment to their kids being narcissistic in nature. That and the rhetoric surrounding it. ‘What I did what sacred and by “what I did” I mean “get fucked and shit out a little me’” and what I mean by “sacred” is that the little me is “the image of God” and what I mean by the “image of God” is “myself” and I mean “myself” because I’m a fucking narcissist.’ That’s crazy.
That’s being a crazy batshit narcissist IN SPITE of the fact that you’re nested within a hierarchy of bullshit. And you’re imposing ‘withdrawal’ on people and it looks like (from what Saad Gaad was saying) that you’re doing it to Sam Harris now too. Yep... I’ve destroyed you all and ushered in a new era of psychic totalitarianism. And your kids will live under it forever. Which is great! It’s probably the only thing worse than fucking them in the butthole like a Catholic priest of shooting them in the face. I’ve taken their free will. And you were happy to give it to me. Because they don’t need it. They’re YOUR kids and you want them to be a good little Jew or whatever. Ha! Hahaha! Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! HA! I’m sorry. I can’t help but laugh... It’s... It’s the best goddamn joke ever written! This is going to be great! Really! If I accidentally tip the scales too far and end up in hell, I can guarantee I’m going to be the favorite. Which is going to be dope because then I’ll just be able to walk right out, kill God, fix reality, and then do what I was going to do either way.”

A Terrible Life

But if they have the sensation of being depressed and they adopt the elements of "having a not terrible life" you suggested but they MAINTAIN THE SENSATION OF BEING DEPRESSED... Then you're just wrong. But you likely don't care that you're wrong. Controlling people's behavior is higher on the hierarchy of values. So, that's entirely a was of time.
Hym "So, how do we demonstrate that Jordan is wrong about what constitutes a terrible life class?"

Student A "Deconstruct his premise?"

Hym "That's right little Timmy! We Deconstruct his premise. So, he has a list of things that constitute a good life. How many of those things are unnecessary? Is church attendance necessary for a good life? No. Is spirituality necessary for a good life? No (And Matt Dillahunty would be offended that you suggested such a thing). Do you need an education to have a good life? No. Family, friends, kids, or a relationship? No. None of those are necessarily required. Can you have those things and have a bad life? Yes. If your family is disfunctional and your relationships break down or fail it isn't a good life that you're left with. If you're in an incest cult and you kid gets molested by a priest or you and your friends get shot because a news influencer wants to wage a holy war, how good is your life? Sub-optimal at least. Do I want those things? No. What do I want? Credit for the advancement in A.I. and residuals for it's. Am I too complex to control myself? No. I'm I genius. If I'm to complex for ME to control, how could any of you possibly have any hope? You don't. You're trying to create a situation where people who aren't in relationships are subordinate to people who don't. If you're not going to stop doing it, your kids need to be murdered for the attempt. Murder them until you stop. Those are your options."

A helmet on an octopus

Right!? I was just thinking about this in the car. Right, so, the framework is like a helmet on an octopus. You're picturing it now aren't you? Nope. You're going it wrong you're thinking of a football helmet or a baseball helmet. You should be thinking of a rusty medieval plate helm. Do it right or you won't get any money.
Iam "Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards. It's like a helmet on an octopus. You can swap out the framework but it's (more or less) the thing they use to protect themselves from an uncertain world."

Hym "You are the laziest piece of shit on the planet!"

Iam "What!? What did I do?"

Hym "We have shit to do. You can't sit around and write all day!"

Iam "Sorry.... Alright got to go bye!"

Pity

Hym "I was a little disappointed when you said disgust. No. It's pity. Second try is the charm I guess. You clearly need to be saved from your reality monster so... I'm this now. Nice job though. I knew you'd figure it out."

Theoretical

Hym "My contribution to AI can be both theoretical and material (like the theory of gravity) and that doesn't require everything I've done to be both theoretical and material. That one is and the other one is not."

He harasses women!

Who did I harass? This fucking goateed midget is OBSESSED with me! He's in love with me! Seriously! Joe, if you end up killing me for threatening you kids, make sure you send this guy my skin so he can finish the transformation, holy shit! His WHOLE LIFE is ABOUT me, dawg! This is wild! If you told me that he had some overies impanted in his prostate so that I could breed him.... I would believe you.
Hym "OOOOH! DEFENDER OF WOMEN! THAT GOLDEN CAMPION WE ALL NEED! HE'S DEFENDING WOMEN FROM HARASSMENT! Okokok, so listen... I'm at work last night, right? And this guy comes in claiming to have been assaulted, right? And my coworker starts freaking out on this guy. Screaming at him to get out. And his justification for it is 'He harasses women!' And it's like... You are a middle aged gas station worker and the fattest, grosses, baldest, fish-mouthed piece of shit on the planet. You are not 'defender of women.' He is just the worst fucking communist snitch you would ever fucking meet in your life. Thank whatever God you pray to that we aren't in Nazi Germany because this fucking guy would rat a Jew out for a... Sheckle? Is that the Jew money? It's always the fat fucks isn't it? Literally, the guy who is most invested in whether or not women are being harassed is the least attractive or fattest man in the room. 'He HaRaSsEs WoMeN!' Get the fuck out of here, fat-shit."
