You inserted the part about accusing.
I labeled it, yes. Generally when people accuse someone of something, they don't say J'accuse or I accuse. It happens, but rarely. As always you frame things poorly and conveniently. Inserted implies things that are not the case. Yes, I chose that verb to label his action. Obviously I chose that verb. I consider it an accurate verb, obviously. There no 'inserting'.
- Maia in fact was generalizing about what all blind people think about their blindness.
Read her first posts again. She makes it very personal and about herself and he just keeps on generalizing. I am accusing him of creating a falsehood via genalization. Yes.
- Dattaswami is also generalizing, however the difference is, he does not deny it.
- Maia did.
- He offers a basis for his generalizations.
- His basis is how he interprets Hinduism.
Right, lack of experience. Lack of research. Just deduction based on tradition.
- Maia’s basis for generalizing is her personal experience.
Nope. See above.
- The only accusing going on is in your own noggin, and you are projecting it onto dattaswami. Quite tiresome of you. You're not dealing with children.
bitching (LOL) - see the link - and grow up.
In some things, probably many, DS is like a child.
For example, sex....
In order for a woman to get pregnant, repeated sex is necessary. This is because the probability of conception is very low due to several gynecological factors. The lawfully-wedded couple engages in frequent sex in which the husband does most of the work to get his wife pregnant. The effort of the wife is minimal. Don’t you think that men could argue that this is an injustice for men that they have to take all the effort? They might say that God has rightly compensated for it by giving delivery pains to women! So, men take the effort in the sexual act, while women bear the pain of giving birth to the child. Sometimes, even after the repeated sexual activity of the husband, the wife does not get pregnant. In that case, the wife does not undergo any delivery pain even though the husband has undergone a lot of pain in terms of his effort of repeated sexual activity. In such a special case, don’t you think that the husband could argue that he has faced injustice?
This is a person presented as part of a very select few people including Jesus and the Buddha who are special direct incarnations of God. It's fine to be naive about some things. But when you're approach is to lecture and you lack all sorts of experience, here related to blind people, in the quote sex, etc., it shows a lack of self-awareness at a pathological level. You can see it repeatedly also in his inability to be logical or on point, also. If you choose a condescending interpersonal dynamic every time AND you don't know what you are talking about, it's going to get pointed out and not always nicely, especially given that he not writing about a specific crab species but here about blindness to a blind person, elsewhere about what it means if you suffer rape (for example) to people who have experienced rape or have loved ones who have. His likely cloistered life, indoctrinated since an early age, has made it hard for him to notice concrete life. His version of Hinduism also can do this. The yes-man way of relating to gurus cuts off important feedback and also frames everything as the misunderstanding of the other person.
and then there's...
