    “And” doesn’t mean causality.

    Archimedes designed siege devices and died at Siracuse. Him designing siege devices is not the reason for him dying.

    I agree that nobody owes me respect (I actually like it, because it removes the balancing part) and I’d not want respect from you. The latter is not a consequence of the former.

    Also “I’d not want respect from you” in natural languages can mean “I want no respect from you” or literal meaning, I meant the latter.

          Either you don’t want my respect because I agree with you or you don’t want my respect because you think Jiggle_Physics and I are the same person. There is no third option here, sorry. A follows B.
