I notice inconsistencies. That's how I make sense of things and formulate logic. Inconsistencies are an obstruction to clarity.

And I'm trying to get to clarity. Sometimes that requires slogging or slashing through all kinds of human concepts and contradictions -- which often people defend against all reason.
Kind of like defending your own child from danger. It’s natural to want to do that out of pure love.
Yes, (if you mean) that people defending their contradictions is like defending their own child (ego) from challenges.

But how else can we find our way through all the mental noise and see what is beyond that? We have to question it. We have to call it out when we think it's not accurate... when we think it's deceptive or blind. Ultimately... despite our feisty spirits... we (both) seem to want to identify truth... it's just hard to question ourselves. But we have to. Truth requires fierce courage. And having love makes it easier to be courageous.
As you've said in other posts... it's not that serious. However, if claims/statements/opinions/thoughts are shared on this public forum, anyone who is paying attention may challenge what seems askew. We WANT that, right? How else do we keep popping the delusion bubble?
Here's an example of an inconsistency I noticed between two of your posts:

I couldn’t care less if my posts make no sense to other readers, I’m just here to pass time and express myself the way I personally see reality from my world view.

And that’s all I’m trying to do here, is put this point across to others...It’s just so hard to put it into words sometimes..but I can only try. Even though I am aware that I make a really big messy hash out of what I am trying to say.
Depending on the MOMENT... and what you're defending... it appears (to me) that you either don't care or you do care about the very same thing. This makes it tricky to get to clarity. Do you see what I mean? If we're paying attention and listening to each other, it's natural that we're going to say, "Hey, wait a minute... that doesn't make sense!" The hard part is in questioning ourselves, perhaps, because each moment in itself makes sense -- and maybe that's good enough for us "up close". But stepping back to see what others see too, could broaden the view/understanding/awareness... yes? Isn't that what you're trying to inspire people to do as well?
I think... EVERYTHING is in THE MOMENT. There is no THIS or THAT... it's ALL there... so what are we doing and why? I think it's fascinating to notice and explore.
