I admitted to the possiblity of them being hypocrisies and accepted that if they were, I accept being a hypocrite. I am not ashamed of being wrong sometimes. But… then I analyzed my statements and saw flaws in your logic. I saw that I still behaved within the realm of my pricinples. I pointed out exactly how and you haven’t addressed any of it.
‘That guys DOES NOT know’ Is not an assumption. It is a statement of fact even if that’s not what you intended. This is partly what I’ve been talking about for such a long time. You guys don’t seem to understand the power and subtletly of language. Maybe you were just expressing your opinion but the person on the other end is going to take your statement as ‘this guy is saying I am stupid and have no lucidity over my thoughts.’ It will be taken as an insult.
Saying I don’t think someone is credible is expressing your personal opinion. That isn’t a personal attack. I would have never reacted to you had you said that. And then, you kept expressing this sentiment with further statements such as ‘he won’t process it’ like he’s a dumbass. You were being very dismissive just as @Nice2knowU pointed out.
Saying someone doesn’t know what they are talking about 90% of the time is a matter of discarding most of his words are are unnecessary drivel that shouldn’t be considered by anyone. Had someone expressed that about you as well, you would have also been insulted.
This is a forum for discussions and if you don’t agree with someone or are even willing to have a conversation, publicly dismissing them as being uncredible and also as a waste of time because they can’t process anything, is insulting. You literally added nothing to the conversation and just belittled someone for speaking their mind. This is a discussion forum. I don’t care what crazy ideas people have. We are here to discuss them and not insult people for having them.
We can argue semantics all day but like I said, I don’t think you apologized to me privately out of fear of me banning you. You have never had that fear that with me over the many years of you snapping at people in the forum and me and you talking privately about it. I am not talking about heidegger. This guy is a new. When I speak of repeated offense, you have done this many times in the past.
Although, I will admit it has been a long time honestly. So perhaps you have changed. But I called out the behavior anyways cause it’s a past pattern making a present appearance. If I do hypocritical things or act out of hand, I want you guys to call me out. I am open to criticism. I don’t shy away from it or get triggered when you guys make comments about me.
What does bother me a bit is you guys talking behind my back which I’ve been made aware that some of you do. I’m very up front and direct. You have an issue with me then speak up about it. Talking behind my back is rather cowardly in my opinion. And no, I don’t read your guys pms because the very last time I really did that at a large scale was because I had to with the OM situation. I had to read people who I considered to be friends say some heinous things about me. I was weaker back then. That stuff hurt. I don’t want to read ya’ll pms again.
This is a topic about money. It’s on topic.
Only because our thoughts have energy doesn’t mean everything still isn’t made up. Where does that energy come from? Nowhere.
Nothing is real my friend. I have expresssed this more than anything truly. Nothing is true, everything is possible. Just repeating it once more for goodness sake. The manifestations of consciousness are just like the manifestations in your thoughts. You imagining yourself being at a beach and feeling it doesn’t make it real. You having a lucid dream and being at the beach doesn’t make it real. So what makes all of this so much more real? We don’t even know where consciousness comes from or what it is. For all we know, it probably comes from nowhere. Well, that’s at least what I believe. (and of course, all of this are just my beliefs but you keep calling me out for not falling in line with my beliefs but I’m just not seeing it yet)
I believe thoughts are imaginary. In the same way your idea of me is very limited to what you’ve seen on me and your thoughts on what you’ve seen, your idea of what is right or wrong is very limited to everything you’ve percieved about reality. You don’t have access to all the universe’s information or every being’s perspective to make absolute objective statements of ‘reality.’ Ideas are possibilities that exist within the vaccum of infinity.
I am with you in that I personally think communism sucks as a system but there are people who are genuinely okay with the limitations and negative repercussions that existing within a system like that. I respect people’s right to believe whatever they resonate with or choose to believe, even if I personally think it’s nonsense.
Ideas are possibilities and we bound ourselves to the restrictions within these possibilities, the moment we identify with them. I agree with @JAAJ that many socialist/communist ideas promote the victim mindset and that such a mindset, increases the possiblity that you limit your capcaity for abundance and taking control of your life. But in the same sense, identifying with capitalism or any other idea with an objective mind, closes your mind to so many other doors of understanding in the mind.
The reason I consider all ideas is because my mind opens to so much more information and knowledge through that. So much more understanding. So much more compassion and love and capacity to experience anything and everything. So much more control. I don’t fully believe in any ideas yet I consider all. I lean towards some but that doesn’t mean that I find them to be absolute or I am not open to changing my mind. That is my philosophy and yet again, I am not seeing how I am speaking against my own philosophy.
No, I won’t. I am aware I have not acted 100% in line with my philosophy in the past. I don’t think anyone does though. Not you or anyone else, as reality is far too fluid and ever changing to remain in one direction. And we humans are far too flawed to act perfectly in line with any beliefs.
That is why I choose to have a malleable and open mind that able to adapt and move freely within any situation. People who choose ideas and concepts as absolute truths, end up closing themselves into boxes and behave in preogrammed limited ways.
As for blasting people for ideas that I don’t agree with, I am expressing my disagreement. Me seeing something I disagree with and expressing my thoughts against it doesn’t indicate that I am triggered or offended by it. Had I been blasting you guys and putting you down for your thoughts and beliefs and then insulting you guys, then yeah, I’m acting outside of my principles.
But I don’t disagree with you guys for having any of your controversial beliefs and like you less or treat you lesser for it. I still embrace ya’ll with open arms. That is all I’ve been saying. It’s okay to disagree and express disagreement but the moment we get triggered to the point that we insult people or want to WIN an argument over someone, is the moment we fall to our impulsive emotions. And by then, we aren’t learning or growing anymore. We are just fighting and wasting our energy.
In the past, I think I certainly would get more triggered by certain ideas and get emotional. But over time, I’ve become less and less emotionally triggered by different ideas as I’ve grown to become more and more accepting of intolerance and all the worst aspects of humanity… such as intolerance, hatred, desire to destroy and corrupt, ext… I have been growing.
Thank you actually. I am genuinely enjoying this. This is what I wanted. An honest conversation. Man to man. Soul to soul. I know I sound crazy when I say this but I see you as myself too. And your capacity to intellectually pick apart thoughts is part of the reason we are having this conversation. So thanks again for engaging.
