It appears to me your strong beliefs in how things REALLY are means that I have lost touch with reality since I'm at odds with your understanding. In thinking about this whole conversation it occurs to me its the sign of mature adults who can disagree with each other on important topics but allow for differences and respect each other even though they disagree. At least you tried to be a little considerate by not coming right out and saying "your delusional"I can't really say anything more helpful. Perhaps other than, beyond politics, it's worth remembering back to what this forum used to be, which was about something called "the Work". There were books and stuff that all related to it and it was all about you know, coming to terms with ourselves as individuals and hopefully building something that had a bit of realness to it. There are loads of books that used to be recommended - they are rarely recommended nowadays though. I think you'd benefit from looking into the Work.
. It's not a all encompassing reflection on ones entire life because they hold a particular view on a certain subject. Isn't that obvious? You needn't clue me in on "The Work". I was doing that way before coming here and I have read the recommended books and continue to work on myself, its just a way of life for me. It's one reason why I joined this group. Look, people don't always agree and see things the same way, its just a fact. Perhaps that old saying "we agree to disagree" is appropriate. I'd say the majority here see the Trump issue pretty much the same way. It would have been so much easier to say nothing since I know this. To me this is a part of my work. To face my fears of ridicule when so many are against me. To have the courage to speak when others want you to be silent or at least change your mind. Speaking my mind has so often met with objection so I learned to remain silent. Thanks for the opportunity to work on myself. I don't wish to be involved in a battle of minds. Having a different perspective then the majority has always been a part of my life. You all disagree with me, ok, I accept that. Carry on.Will all this be filtered into AI?
