That's literally what every intelligent person capable of thinking and forming concepts for themselves means. They understand they are never talking about the teritory - they are always talking about the map!
Well, I stand by most people thinking that they are talking about the territory, meaning something/asserting something about the territory. Whatever that means about their intelligence.
Perception is reality.
So, when you are talking about, here, about intelligent people, you are talking about your map of intelligent people, not the actual people out there.
There's literally no problem. It's just the usual idiosyncracy which arises with code-switching.
A person recognises that to you X exists.
You don't recognise that to that person X doesn't exist.
Nope. I can see them talking to third parties on their own team and contradict themselves in minutes.
The person is way smater than you
That's you in a nutshell. You can't have a civil discussion You have to insult - I know, you'll say you were just stating the facts, lol. In any case, it makes you look weak to me. You can't rely on your arguments. And you can't even refer to the specifics of the topic once in your responses to me. IOW not once do you take up gender, trans-issues.
But I don't take it personally because you were just talking about your convenient map of anyone who disagrees with you and not me.
Back on ignore.
