Assumptions, you take your point of view and those of others "as is".
And this is exactly WHY I do not like to make any assumptions at all.
If I were to make assumptions about points of views "as is", then I would not be open. If, and when, I am not fully open, then I am not able to see the actual and real Truth of things. I do not like to assume any thing is '
what IS'. Therefore, I make as few assumptions as I am able to consciously constantly be aware of.
Sipping coffee...age you are assuming you are seeing the real truth of things.
No I am not. And, I have already explained why not.
So, once again, you are completely WRONG.

When have I ever claimed reality is cold and cruel?
Just saying it was; "in some post" could be true or it could be an absolute lie, and I would be very surprised if any one is going to go through absolutely EVERY post in this forum to check and see if you are lying or telling the truth. So, I would suggest that if you can not prove that what you are saying is true, then it would better you make this clear in your comments otherwise some might jump to the WRONG conclusion. For all we know you could be completely lying, just mistaking me for some one else, or just mistaking the words I actually used. So, if you want to accuse me of some thing, which I can not recall, then how could I reply correctly and accurately?
Maybe if you have the ability to remember word-for-word what I said, then maybe you can also remember the post, or at least the thread, where I supposedly claimed what you say here, and then direct us to that? Then at least we can see just how much truth or not is in what you say here.

And I made it clear that if you KNOW what 'reality' is, then you do not have to assume EVERY thing. Is this "philosophically ruthless" also, you say this untrue. Whether you cry or not about this I do not know and do not care.
But what I KNOW is, IF you KNOW some thing is untrue, or false, then you do NOT have to assume that, obviously.

Do I actually ruin ALL threads?
Did I even ruin THIS thread.
You claim "it is ALL assumed". But, you could never prove this to be true. You then asked for an example of 'what is not assumed'. I provided said example, who claim you can not refute.
Now, this might be WHY you seemed to be getting upset and frustrated.
You start a thread and make a claim. If you are not open nor prepared for counter claims, then why are you on a philosophy forum?
If you BELIEVE your assumption/argument/theory is 100% True, Right, and Correct, then that is one thing, but just remember that just because you BELIEVE some thing is true, then, that does NOT make it so.
Remember also that if you KNOW that your claim is true, then, by definition, your claim is NOT an assumption.
Even by your own reasoning and definition; 'Assumptions',
you take your point of view and those of others "as is". you do NOT know, for sure, that what you take "as is" IS actually true, right, and/or correct. Therefore, what you take "as is" could be WRONG, or partly wrong. But, IF you are saying that you KNOW your claim IS true, then you are NOT assuming this.
