How to expose /u/ewk as a bot: ewk complains about language and grammar because it has a limited understanding of communication

When /u/ewk says

not able to talk at high school level...

the meaning is that the bot is demanding you communicate in a way that it understands, it's trying to deter communication in /r/zen that it can't understand

/u/ewk uses poetry to appear to be human, and if you care about this, I encourage you to investigate the long history of computer poetry as well as the "dissociated press"

there are structural aspects to Reddit that make it a favorable place to conduct Turing tests: the division of forums into topics together with the implicit requirement that communication be on-topic

this is actually somewhat sad because it requires humans limit their communication in a very strange and awkward way

real human conversations don't stick to a topic like superglue

there are certainly ways to disrupt /u/ewk such as using zeugma, syllepsis, and other grammatical structures that are intentionally difficult to understand, and the bot will complain that it isn't high school level

there are other ways to disrupt /u/ewk such as studying its ontology which includes concepts such as religion and faith, studying Theosophy, and frankly studying the supernatural

revealing my guess as to the programmer in public is a violation of Reddit TOS, but it it based on my observation of the participation of a single individual in /r/zen a few years ago, a highly intelligent programmer with knowledge of linguistics

I don't think the programmer knows much of Zen, Buddhism, or meditation but knows a lot about competition and hostility.
