That's not such a compelling position.

If you could think you would know that's not true, but I'll spare you. I won't ask you to overtax your own mind.simplicity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 2:24 amYou contradict yourself.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 1:07 amI have no interest in your agreement.simplicity wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:26 pm

As an aside [and perhaps you can help me out here], what exactly is the point of having this kind of conversation? Are you attempting to prove something? Are you trying to be "right?"RCSaunders wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:30 pmIf you could think you would know that's not true, but I'll spare you. I won't ask you to overtax your own mind.

I would if I could, but I doubt very much that is possible.simplicity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:38 pmAs an aside [and perhaps you can help me out here]RCSaunders wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:30 pmIf you could think you would know that's not true, but I'll spare you.

It's not a conversation, simply a statement based on you view that, "Thinking Is Over-rated," so I evaded attempting to force you to do what you regarded as over-rated.simplicity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:38 pm , what exactly is the point of having this kind of conversation?

I think you might want to think this one through a little more.simplicity wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 1:52 amThe idea is that man's attempt to improve upon Reality [via conceptual thought] continues to be an abject failure. Conceptual thinking takes what is and transforms it into what is thought to be [which almost always seems to be some kind of bizarre dystopian reality].
We can accept the weather or build a shelter.
Instead of imagining, perhaps accepting what it is might serve our species better.
What's the difference? You get the idea. Again, the point is that people depend way too much on their personal reality[thinking] instead of accepting, 'what it is,' as sufficient.Fja1 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 5:22 pmAS IF thinking is reductible to conceptual thinking.simplicity wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:34 pm"Look out any window," was to suggest that mere observation is enough to understand the limits of our intellect.
