I have been an academic and a degenerate and understand that truth lives in the grey areas—something they are incapable of or unwilling to understand. I took a peak at their history after reading your exchange with them and yeah, zero self-awareness.

Do you think a person can’t sit and reflect during lunch? Or confront moral truths while having a beer?

I’m not avoiding the conclusion, I’m saying you don’t achieve it at all and your entire premise is riddled with assumptions and fallacies. You are far worse for my mental health than a beer, lol.

Your whole point assumes a person can only reflect and grow at the end of the day and in a sober state. It’s completely stupid.

…or pooping. Those activities don’t take long either.

Speak for yourself.
