Dave Chappelle’s comments on how calling someone crazy is dismissive reminds me of how people kill thread discussions with
“this is so /Im14andthisisdeep” comments. It’s dismissive.
There’s s term for that.
It’s really annoying when someone tries to get super philosophical but has the shallowest take. On the other hand, not everyone has taken philosophy courses and what I consider “Descartes 101” may actually be something new and eye opening to them so dismissing them would make me the pretentious gatekeeper.
Anyways, I mostly agree with you. Like Scrubbles said, there are some that truly deserve it.
Yes, it’s dismissive.
And sometimes that’s appropriate.
Though sometimes it’s annoying as hell.
Personally I use it when someone jumps into a conversation headfirst full of psychobabble or obviously really trying to come off as deep. I’ll agree it’s used stop much, but man some people really deserve it too
