Quote:And you're arrogant enough to tell someone else what they believe rather than let them tell you. We're both a couple of arrogant fucks and we're both wrong.I'm suggesting that they know -whether or not they believe-, not telling them -what they believe-. Understand? I mean, if you could just reset, realize that you are absolutely not talking with me at all, and have not been- you might find that I can make a conversation pretty interesting....but it all starts there.
(I could, for example, quote a post you made to another to illustrate - with one of your examples- why we probably aren't so far off in our opinions but for one little tick of the mind - and how that's relevant to a post Benny made about the same - and explain why it may be that this tick is incredibly informative with regards to how we frame our "beliefs" set against or alongside our "knowledge" - if you'd like)
