What does that matter?
WHY 'that' matters IS so that "readers" here CAN SEE whether 'you' KNOW WHO is 'the one' who, SUPPOSEDLY, HAS 'a mind' or NOT.
Why would the readers think I do not know me?
Just about all of the 'readers', in the days when this was written, would NOT have even CONTEMPLATED whether 'you' KNOW you, or NOT. And, a LOT of 'those readers' would NOT have even THOUGHT about 'this' BEFORE.
Now, OBVIOUSLY, if 'you' can NOT YET ANSWER the QUESTION, 'Who am 'I'?' properly AND correctly, then 'you' do NOT, YET, KNOW 'I'.
And, WHO and WHAT 'me' IS, EXACTLY, FROM 'your' perspective, is probably just as well NOT YET KNOWN, NEITHER, right?
When it is FULLY UNDERSTOOD how 'you', human beings, in the days when this is being written, do NOT YET KNOW WHO nor WHAT 'you', and 'I', AM, EXACTLY, then this will LEAD ONTO CONSIDERING whether HOW THEN could 'I', or 'me', even KNOW, FOR SURE, that 'I', or 'me', do ACTUALLY HAVE 'my OWN mind', or NOT.
And, this is WITHOUT even QUERYING 'you', human beings, OVER, 'What does the 'mind' word even MEAN? What IS 'the mind'? And/or 'What is the 'mind' word even REFERRING TO, EXACTLY?

In other words, WHY do 'you' even KEEP a 'mind' that could NEED CHANGING?
I did not write that I "keep" a mind. Perhaps you saw some inference?
'you', 'vvilliam", USED the words 'my mind'.
Now, I INFER, WHEN one USES the 'my' word that 'that one' IS IMPLYING that 'they' HAVE, OWN, or are KEEPING, the next of following word after the 'my' word, 'at the moment' of when SAYING, WRITING, and USING those words together.
Now, it is Correct that 'you' did NOT USE the 'keep' word in relation to 'your mind', BUT 'you' did SAY and WRITE, 'my mind'. So, would 'you' 'now' like to ELABORATE ON, what those two words when USED together like 'you' DID, ACTUALLY MEANS or is REFERRING TO, EXACTLY?
If no, then WHY NOT?
I used the word "mind" rather than the word "foot" (or some other word) because of the general understanding that when someone "changes their mind" they are reorganizing their thoughts to suit the information being processed by the mind.
What we have here IS a VERY CLEAR CASE of NOT READING and SEEING and/or MISSING the POINT, COMPLETELY.
I talked ABOUT and was REFERRING TO the 'my' word. I even EMPHASIZED the 'my' word. BUT, ONCE AGAIN, what I talk ABOUT gets COMPLETELY and UTTERLY OVERLOOKED, and MISSED.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
Perhaps you are of the opinion that a mind that is changed is somehow a literal thing one can do. For example, if one does not "like" the mind that they "have", they can swap it for another mind?
I WAS talking ABOUT the 'my' word AND what that word MEANS and REFERS TO here, EXACTLY. As can be CLEARLY SEEN I was RESPONDING TO AND ANSWERING the ACTUAL CLARIFYING QUESTION that 'you' posed, and ASKED 'me', which WAS;
Perhaps you saw some inference? In regards to the 'keep' word.
And 'this' is WHY I spoke OF and ABOUT 'your' USAGE of the 'my' word above here.
Oh, and by the way, there is NOT even such a 'thing' AS so-called 'my mind', to BEGIN WITH.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
Rather, this is not what is being said in the expression.
I KNOW. And,
If 'you' DID NOT PRESUME what 'my opinion' MIGHT BE, in the beginning, THEN 'you' would NOT have ENDED UP SO FAR ASTRAY, as 'you' HAVE, here, now.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
Is there a particular reason you wish to pursue this?
YES.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
Do you think that minds can literally be swapped over?
NO.
Do 'you' think that there are 'minds'?
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
Or is it just a case that you think I used an inappropriate phrasing, and if so, what is the better phrasing one could use?
'you' USED the 'my' word, as though 'you', an individual human being, as 'its' OWN 'mind', which is just a Wrong, and an INAPPROPRIATE, phrase.
A much truer and thus better phrasing is 'my thoughts'. Which, although is STILL NOT True, Right, Accurate, NOR Correct phrase, that phrase is far MORE accurate than 'my mind' is.
But first 'things' first, as there are still quite a few MORE steps that need to be LEARNED and UNDERSTOOD, FIRST.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
The mind I am referring to is the one I am developing as a human personality.
So, WHO am 'I' here, EXACTLY, which is, SUPPOSEDLY, 'developing' as a 'human personality'?
I cannot answer your question because you want an "exact" whereas the developing is ongoing and one cannot
exactly say "who", while the developing is happening.
Okay, fair enough.
And, thank you GREATLY for ADMITTING that 'you' do NOT YET KNOW who nor what 'the one' NOR 'the I' IS, EXACTLY, which is said to have 'its mind'.
Once 'things' here are FAR BETTER UNDERSTOOD, and KNOWN, then WHY I SPEAK, WRITE, and QUESTION 'the way' I DO here will ALL COME-TO-LIGHT, and BE REVEALED.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
"Changing one's mind" is simply a "saying" which can be understood in that context.
AND, what IS 'that context', EXACTLY?
The context of a developing mind.
So, 'you' are CLAIMING that the saying, 'Changing one's mind', can be UNDERSTOOD in the context of that 'a mind' IS 'developing', right?
Either way, to 'me', the saying, 'Changing one's mind' implies that there IS 'one', who HAS CONTROL OVER 'a mind', and thus WOULD BE 'the one' who is ACTUALLY 'creating' or 'developing' 'that mind', itself. Rather than WAITING for 'a mind' to be 'developed' BEFORE 'that one' could FIND OUT and ANSWER who and/or what 'they' ARE, EXACTLY.
ALL WILL BE REVEALED, eventually. But I just need to LEARN how-to BETTER communicate, or re-communicate, with 'you', human beings, by BY-PASSING 'your' ALREADY in USE, MISUSE of words, and definitions, which have become habitually USED, in the days when this is being written.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
I am ONLY ASKING these QUESTIONS to just SHOW and REVEAL HOW OFTEN 'the people', in the days when this is being written, would SAY 'things' that 'they' did NOT ACTUALLY MEAN, AND, MEAN 'things' that 'they' did NOT ACTUALLY SAY.
Is that to say that you think/claim that I am not saying what I mean or meaning what I say?
Yes.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
And, one of the reasons WHY 'they' and 'you' DO, and DID, 'this' IS BECAUSE there WAS, and IS, STILL MORE TO LEARN and UNDERSTAND, and that 'you' and 'they' WERE USING words that THE DEFINITION/S OF 'you' and 'they' HAD NOT YET COME-TO LEARN, and KNOW.
This does sound like the process/development of a thing.
Yes, VERY MUCH SO.
Even 'your' USE of the phrase 'developing mind' FITS IN PERFECTLY here, in regards to DEVELOPING the Right 'language' so that ALL-OF-THIS CAN and DOES BECOME FULLY UNDERSTOOD BY EVERY one. As SO MUCH OF what 'you', posters, DO SAY, and WRITE, here, IS VERY MUCH HELPING in the DEVELOPING of the Correct WORDING.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
One cannot always pinpoint
exactly what stage of development a thing is currently at, therefore another asking for an exactness, is an unrealistic expectation.
But there WAS NO 'expectation' AT ALL.
I just ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS here, in this forum, FROM a Truly OPEN perspective, to just ASCERTAIN, and SHOW, whereabouts 'you', human beings, ARE/WERE, EXACTLY, on the 'evolutionary continuum' in regarding to the Universe/Life/Consciousness, Itself, COMING-TO-KNOW It/thy Self.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
However, the one asking for exactness may indeed have knowledge which allows for such a request to be asked, but until that knowledge is forth-coming, it is better not to presume one way or the other re that ones knowledge.
VERY True AND Correct in regards to BETTER NOT TO PRESUME 'one way or the other', regarding ANY 'one's' knowledge.
Also, ALL of 'my', learned along 'the way' and gathered, knowledge IS EXTREMELY 'forth-coming'.
I just WAIT for 'those' who ARE Truly INTERESTED, OPEN, and CURIOS.
As can be CLEARLY SEEN here, in this forum, when EVERY time I express absolutely ANY idea or view, which appears 'new', 'ridiculous', or 'not consistent with popular nor 'current' belief', then 'it' IS 'I' who gets ACCUSED OF, or ATTACKED FOR, being AUTISTIC, INSANE, or of HAVING some sort of OTHER 'mental disorder'.
I have been 'forth-coming' and have brought knowledge forward, ALREADY. I am ALSO CONTINUALLY ASKING to be QUESTIONED and/or CHALLENGED OVER absolutely EVERY 'thing' I SAY, and WRITE, here. So, 'this knowledge' is ALWAYS 'forth-coming'.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
I am not that mind, but I am a mind.
So, IF that 'I' is NOT YET A 'human personality', then WHO and/or WHAT IS 'that' 'I', EXACTLY?
Where was it written "not yet" a human personality?
'you' SAID that,
'The mind that 'you' are referring to is the one that 'you' ARE developing as a human personality.'
So, if it IS 'you', who, supposedly, HAS 'a mind', which 'you' ARE 'developing', as a 'human personality', then that MEANS that 'you', or 'that i', is NOT YET a 'human personality', so that is WHERE 'it' WAS WRITTEN 'not yet' 'a human personality'. Well, to 'me', anyway.
VVilliam wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 7:08 pm
But, as I have REPEATEDLY SAID here, There IS a MUCH BETTER, SIMPLY, EASIER, and QUICKER WAY, and 'that way' even VERIFIES FOR ONCE and FOR ALL, ABSOLUTELY and FOR SURE.
Repeating something often does not always amount to anything worthwhile.
NOT being INTERESTED in LEARNING nor in UNDERSTANDING MORE, conversely, does NOT always amount to ANY 'thing' worthwhile.
If someone asks, does one not think interest is being shown, that one might then offer explanation as to what one is referring to?
Are 'you' AWARE that 'you' a statement here, but then just added a question mark onto the end of 'it'?

Sometimes "easier" is better, and sometimes it isn't.
But combined with SIMPLER and QUICKER, EASIER also ADDS TO VERY USUALLY being BETTER.
But not in any absolute manner.
Also, will 'you' provide ANY examples of when 'easier' is some times NOT 'better'?
It is easier if I simply ask a machine to do this for me.
Me: Please provide some examples of when 'easier' is some times NOT 'better'
GPT: "Easier" is not always "better" in various situations. Here are some examples to illustrate this:
Health and Fitness:
Exercise: While taking the elevator may be easier, taking the stairs is often better for your health.
Diet: Fast food is easier to grab on the go, but it's generally not as healthy as cooking a balanced meal at home.
Learning and Education:
Cramming for Exams: It might be easier to cram all the information at the last minute, but spaced, consistent learning is often a more effective way to retain knowledge.
Avoiding Challenging Subjects: It's easier to stick with subjects you're already good at, but tackling more challenging ones can lead to personal growth and a broader skill set.
Relationships:
Avoiding Conflict: It's easier to avoid difficult conversations and conflicts, but addressing them is usually better for maintaining healthy relationships in the long term.
Superficial Friendships: Superficial, low-effort friendships might be easier to maintain, but deeper, more meaningful connections are often more satisfying and fulfilling.
Environmental Sustainability:
Single-Use Plastics: Using single-use plastics is easier, but reducing or eliminating them is better for the environment.
Short Drives: Driving short distances may be easier, but walking, cycling, or using public transportation is often better for reducing carbon emissions.
Career and Personal Growth:
Staying in Your Comfort Zone: Staying in a comfortable job or situation is easier, but taking on new challenges and risks can lead to personal and professional growth.
Procrastination: Procrastinating tasks may be easier in the short term, but it can lead to stress, missed opportunities, and lower-quality work in the long run.
Technology and Privacy:
Convenience vs. Privacy: Using services that collect extensive personal data for convenience might be easier, but it can compromise your privacy.
Financial Decisions:
Impulse Spending: It's easier to make impulse purchases, but saving and making well-thought-out financial decisions is better for long-term financial stability.
Parenting:
Giving in to Kids' Demands: It might be easier to give in to your child's demands, but setting appropriate boundaries and rules is better for their development.
Quality vs. Quantity:
Producing More vs. Producing Better: It's easier to produce more of something quickly, but taking the time to produce a higher-quality product can lead to better results and customer satisfaction.
Ethical Considerations:
Unethical Practices: Participating in unethical practices for short-term gains may be easier, but it can have long-term negative consequences on your reputation and the well-being of others.
In many cases, "easier" choices provide immediate gratification or convenience, but "better" choices often lead to long-term benefits, personal growth, improved well-being, and a more positive impact on the world around us.
And, do ANY of those examples have absolutely ANY 'thing', AT ALL, to do WITH what I was ACTUALLY talking ABOUT and REFERRING TO regarding EASIER, in relation to WAYS OF LEARNING HOW-TO FIND, SEE, UNDERSTAND, and KNOW ACTUAL IRREFUTABLE Truths, ANYWAY?
One would not know, as one has not yet said.
As can be SEEN here, I have been and WAS talking ABOUT in relation TO 'ways of' 'thinking' ABOUT 'things' and/or the 'knowing' OF 'things'. But, like a LOT of times throughout this forum 'MY ACTUAL WORDS' GET MISSED, MISINTERPRETED, or JUST MISUNDERSTOOD'. And, as can be CLEARLY SEEN here LOOK AT just how MUCH EFFORT went into WRITING ALL of the examples above here, which I think will be FOUND have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to DO WITH what I was talking ABOUT and REFERRING TO, EXACTLY.
