Did you read the book, how do you know what is fact or opinion if you didn't dispute something essential like what was opinion which was presented as fact.

Simply saying "that is someone's opinion" to a book. The fact is that he's a hypocrite and a peddler of nonsense.

All illusions offer comfort, especially all those that don't.

There is not one illusion that does not offer comfort (no matter how perverse the comfort is) ones ego can take comfort in strange things. Someone with NPD takes great comfort in the suffering of especiallly loved ones. This stands, whether or not JK is a hypocrite, a murderer, or a transgender taxi driver with a degree in nuclear physics, moonlighting as a rodeo clown. Maybe I will read the book, I'm very busy, however it is still an opinion, one expressed (in a book) after ones death. The reason I don't need to is, the quote stands, inspite of his character. This is knot to say that JK is correct. Newton's laws are not "correct", just a useful model. JK himself said that he is not correct and not to listen to him because he didnt know.

I am a liar, and a hypocrite, perhaps the worst you have ever seen. You should definitely not listen to a word I say.

You have no way to know it's an opinion, that's the fact.

The quote is out the window when people suffer needlessly because of some guilt or shame that gets passed on, as that illusion isn't comfort. It's not comfort either the illusion of your loved ones suffering. It's evident nonsense regardless of denying that such illusions don't exclusively offer comfort.

That guy was so lame that any and all of his talks are full of the same sandpaper that would grate any critical thinker. He was hardly smooth with his game and often got mad and childish when he was confronted on inconsistency, or over his authority. He had to appear legitimate that he even denied reading any books, in spite that he wrote and compiled numerous books, and the themes sometimes are uncanny in their similarity to Buddhist work or Hinduism.

Since his authority as a spiritual guru or wise man is crucial to the quote to overlook the false conclusion and without that authority it's just rambling nonsense that hardly flows or is expressing a coherent thought since it relies on the fallacy of absolutes.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree

Facts aren't up for debate.

No facts just opinions.

yeah we get it, it's a matter of opinion if he was a liar or a hypocrite ;)

No whether he was a liar or a hypocrite is irrelevant.

It's not my account.

Right well can't do any thing about that then.
