Bingo. At least, this is how he chooses to get his kicks, or some of his kicks. And it's not so much a matter of creating nonexistent arguments. He seems to perceive himself as a teacher of "crazy wisdom," confounding people in order to help them see the light. Trouble is, he's good at the confounding part but not so hot at the seeing-the-light part. Weird I call it. > I know why I never learn though, it's because I'm > an optimist.

He isn't dumb, and he knows a lot of *stuff*. He might turn out to be a real pleasure to interact with and even learn from if he dropped the crazy-wisdom act. I think he may be afraid he wouldn't make the grade if he played it straight, though. Safer to stick with the act and not make the attempt.
