Yeah, you can tell he's never actually discussed these works with another human because in all of his debates, but this one especially, he can't actually adapt or interact with the other person's points. He just keeps either being vague, repeats, or spins off to a slightly related topic.
That's the deal with autodidacts, 1% of them go on to become great, original thinkers and the rest are pricks who come up with original ideas that are just awful and there was nobody around to instruct them which ideas were awful and which ones were good.

Still trying to figure out which one of these I am but trying to be the former lol.
I dropped out of every single level of US education. Yes even kindergarten.
I think the pricks are just the ones you hear about. most autodidacts go on to be normal people.
