( Eli Harman: Not that I want to get involved, but I seem to have gotten myself involved by accident, so what is the deal with Greg and the white sharia thing?

I mean, memes are sarcastically hyperbolic, and I block memes on my own page but I recognize memes have value in other (less literate) forums.

I don’t engage in white-sharia kind of explicitly hyperbolic argument but I understand its marketing value in other forums.

I use my own version of attention-getting by attacking sacred cows, which is, implicitly hyperbolic. And once in awhile I will use some oxymoron like ‘market fascism’ or ‘natural law fascism’ for hyperbolic marketing purposes.

And I’ve argued that hyperbole is the means by which conservatives illustrate their long time preference by use of the kantian categorical imperative: “What if everyone did that?”

But I don’t understand what is going on? Is the problem for him that white sharia isn’t identifiably hyperbolic?

Thanks )
