You know what? I don;t think that you -do- know what you've experienced and been through. Your comments sound like shithouse psychology devoid of any factual substance or professional opinions.
Then tell me what I have experienced and been through from your knowledgeable point of view.
Why? Does it matter? Is it germane to the accuracy of your stated positions? No...and no.
So, no.
Maybe you should go figure out what happened to you....it would be an improvement from these fact free shitposts? I can't imagine that anyone would be more interested in figuring out the mechanics of ones own personal experiences than one's self. Your own description of what happened to you argues with itself, your stated positions argue with themselves, and none of it follows from any other part of it. I don't need to know what happened to you, to point that out. Neither do you, frankly.
How do you know that the blind are incapable of visualizing color? How do you respond to the fact that blind people -have- reported being able to visualize color? How do you plan to apply this analogy to a subject that is not color, and to which the people you're referring aren't blind in any coherent sense the first place?
Singing Amazing Grace for pages on end won't resolve the inadequacy of your worldview.
How do you respond to the statement that a slavish devotion to the authority of your involutary neurochemical response to emotional stimulus is a far more effective way to inhibit your ability to determine good from bad, right from wrong. That the effects of euphoria and dysphoria are routinely present in the most fantastic examples of human moral failure imaginable? Pious oppressors, torturers, and executioners report -ecstasy- at the successful implementation of gods will.
Does this demonstrate the good moral nature of anything at all? Are you willing to describe their satisfaction at burning a sinner alive as a moral good? If you can answer in the affirmative to either of these questions it becomes clear that the two of us are not using the term morality to refer to any common thing between us. You're talking about something else entirely. One wonders which of us is having trouble seeing the object........
