Now if you want to have 'A conversation' with the "natural rhythm" a conversation "should" "ideally" have, then there is some pretty strong words in there that NEED to be addressed FIRST, IF the "natural rhythm" of conversation is to take place.
1. I NEED to KNOW WHY the "should" word is here. "Should" is related to some thing specific, which I do NOT have knowledge of.
2. The word "ideally" like the word "should" are very relative words, of which BOTH of them are ONLY relative to you ONLY, of which I have absolutely NO idea what that "ideal" "should" be.
Also, what happens in YOUR "ideal" conversation, which "should" have a "natural rhythm" when, for example, 'you' or 'I' say some thing that the "other" KNOWS is absolutely Wrong, False, or Incorrect?
How does YOUR "ideal" "natural rhythm" of conversation proceed here now?
But MY view of the word 'philosophical' is completely NOT aligned with or to YOUR view of the word 'philosophical' here, so the following 'conversation' will NATURALLY NOT be in "rhythm", with each "other", from the very outset. So, what do we do now?surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:39 pmSo one can be as philosophical as they like and still have a conversation because they are not mutually incompatible positions
Also, once again, it was NEVER about just A conversation, that is; Until you turned this (conversation) into being just about 'A conversation', and NOT about the "natural rhythm a conversation should ideally have", which is what YOU started out talking about.
Obviously two people can have A conversation, no matter what position they have. Just how well A conversation goes will be SEEN.
And, did you mean the 'compatible' word, instead of the 'incompatible' word? Or, am I asking "too many" clarifying questions here now?
