| > you're making a domain error when you conflate the forces of physical chemistry during first mitosis with higher level cognitive phenomenon of self-perception and identity. i hope you recognize that. No, I'm using a figure of speech, and you're responding to nothing, certainly not the strongest possible interpretation. > and you're entirely wrong about society being a fiction and therefore it not being real enough to matter. You simply don't understand a word of what I say, as I say it. The very first words of my first comment in this thread were > Yes, we look for confirmation, just like we give it Which makes it clear I don't "denounce others" or say "the outside is an illusion", or any of those plump distortions of my words, laced with big words, you offer. Apart from "I agree with your politics" which is like saying "I think it's fine you're beating your dog". I'm not beating my dog, I wasn't proposing politics, I disagreed with something. Initially by asking a question, to let the other person maybe elaborate on something I got wrong, etc. Well so much for that, I guess that boat sailed. Yet you are not OP and cannot answer my questions to them. As it turns out, you can't even give your own answers, because you distort what I say or ask before you even interact with it. Simply because I disagree with one extreme, you put words about another extreme into my mouth. As far as I'm concerned, you haven't actually addressed any of what I said, and I'm done wasting my time. |
