sophisticated-life naiveté

Being less familiar wif "common man" objects, speech-expressions, entertainment, etc. due to one's having a more "high-toned, high society" lifestyle.
Long-term Boston-Pops-concert announcer William Pierce evidently had such major sophisticated-life naiveté dat he actually didn't know how to properly say da last word in da title of da third "Star Wars" movie --- he incorrectly pronounced it "Jaydee" several times when announcing dat da famous Massachusetts-Bay-area orchestra was gonna perform one or more selections from it, then later made a seldom-heard "correction of a previous statement" aside-announcement to da radio-audience: "I was just now informed that I had incorrectly identified the movie title --- it's supposed to be pronounced, 'JED-EYE'." So I'm guessing dat da "venerable Billy P." had spent da majority of his days ensconced in da elite-and-upper-class world of classical music and elegant concerts, and so HE'D had little time for --- or interest in --- da "everyday man's" science-fiction crap!

Sophist

Yes! And it's funny that the guy that both thinks loud mouths need to shut and that you're a sophist shut up immediately when when asked specifically what. I had a response. Technically I had several.
Hym "But that's why they're there. The are tomato-cans who's sole purpose is to look stupid until it's time for you to engage with an 'expert' at which point your job is to break even for the audience and make it look like you both have really good points and oh boy of geez everything is just so nebulous. No concrete conclusions can be drawn but at least you both had a chance to spit out your talking points. So, yeah. You're a sophist with a fake and manufactured personality you were likely paid or promoted to imitate. Zizek is right. The one purpose your online debate racket serves it to prevent anything from happening. You prop up 2 ideologically possessed 'experts' who's entire career hinges on the validity of their position on a singular topic they dance around the topic for a bit and inevitably break even because IF THEY DON'T... They stop getting invited to debates. Like Matt Dillahunty. Or they don't get invited in the first place. The problem isn't the debate. It's the dishonest and sophistical people engaging in the discussion. Or (in your case) entirely fake. Like, you're pretending to be me actively. Less intelligent. Less attractive. Inferior in every way."
