Quote from: K-Dog on Aug 23, 2025, 03:15 PMSo would you say an old dog can't learn new tricks?

Do you mean can a geologist who publically stated that the US doesn't have much oil in shales, learn....something new? I would presume he can learn something new, yes.

I've been watching his updates since he fired up his new website circa Dec 28, 2023 or so. The first title annoucement he then released on January 10, 2024. "Beginning of the End for the Permian"

How much did he learn between 2011 and thinking there wasn't much oil in US shales and this blog post? You tell me.

Quote from: K-DogNo excuses for them, but anybody who gets in the public eye is going to experience extreme social distortion.  Group think takes over.  Combine that with the relentless expectations with no time off in the public eye, and mistakes will be made.

By "public eye" do you mean anyone belting out blog stuff? And then "relentless expectations" come from believing that because it is online it has value?

Quote from: K-DogI am forced to admit a sort of 'superiority' and I really don't like it.  But the truth is the world is filled with stupidinos, who spend most of their energy just trying to appear normal.  People who absorb much, but learn little.

Hey! Something we completely agree with!

Quote from: K-DogBottom line - As everyone wears the mask of the idiot if you pay enough attention, then relying on 'reputation' to judge the quality of their truth is a fools errand.

Well good thing with Art we have him being silly in 2011 and still doing it in 2023. So rather than knowing much of anything in any moment, he has CONSISTENCY on just always getting things wrong? Like a perfect counter-indicator? He portrays it as true....you can instantly discount every word.

Quote from: K-DogPay attention to the message and ignore the messenger.

Always reasonable. So Art proves he doesn't know anything about oil production in 2011...and proves his consistency by doing it again in 2023....we can ignore the messenger and know only that whomever the messenger is, they don't appear to know anything about oil.

Quote from: K-DogAnd concerning true idiots, even those motherfuckers are right twice a day.  Just like clocks.

So if motherfuckers can be right twice a day, doesn't that make someone being wrong across more than a decade twcie is even WORSE than being a true idiot? More like...a SUPER true idiot?
