BUT WHO is 'it' coming FROM, EXACTLY?
Age.
And, WHO and/or WHAT is "age", EXACTLY?
Also, if some "other" one or 'thing' PERCEIVED to be 'dehumanizing' 'you', "iwannaplato", THEN would 'you' somehow feel harmed, hurt, or offended, in some way?

Whatever I may think of you, Age, I would not refer to you as an it.
1. 'it' can be just ANOTHER word for 'person'.
Not at the time this is being written.
Do 'you' PERCEIVE "yourself" to be THE SPEAKER, or THE WRITER, FOR absolutely EVERY one, at the time when this is being written?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
Okay. But, the word 'if' is just 'you' just MAKING ANOTHER ASSUMPTION/PRESUMPTION.
The word 'if' is not me making another assumption. And even the sentence as a whole is not. It was an example, in a hypothetical.
Okay, fair enough. 'your' USE of the 'if' word there was just ANOTHER SUGGESTION/CONJECTURE. Which, OBVIOUSLY, could ALSO be False, Wrong, Inaccurate and/or Incorrect, AS WELL.
As I CONTINUALLY SAY and POINT OUT, I MUCH PREFER TO JUST LOOK AT and DISCUSS the ACTUAL and IRREFUTABLE Truth INSTEAD, and ONLY.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
Well 'this' IS A VERY USELESS response, especially considering the Fact that the adult human beings, in the days when this was being written, and even the so-called "expert ones" cou NOT even come up with an AGREED UPON definition of (the word) 'time', itself.
It wasn't a very useful question, but I did my best to answer it.
Are 'you' SURE that 'that QUESTION' was NOT VERY USEFUL?
In Fact are 'you' even SURE of what the ACTUAL INTENTION WAS and STILL IS BEHIND 'that QUESTION'?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
REALLY?
Here we have ANOTHER CLAIM.
Yes, and you response is a claim.
YES, and VERY MUCH SO. It is ALSO A CLAIM, which I COULD and WILL STAND BEHIND. Like the OTHER CLAIMS I SAY and MAKE in 'this forum' here.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
YET, let 'us' SEE what ACTUAL response 'we' get here when I ASK 'it' to PROVIDE ANY or ALL of the SAID and CLAIMED 'false assumptions', which 'you', "iwannaplato" think or BELIEVE I have made here?
Will 'you' PROVIDE ANY "iwannaplato"?
If no, then WHY NOT?
I have done this before.
If 'you' SAY and BELIEVE so.
But by CLAIMING 'this' are 'you' now SUGGESTING that 'you' WILL NOT here now?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
You claim to have no beliefs.
Yes, so what?
Are 'you' here now SUGGESTING and/or CLAIMING that 'this' IS A False ASSUMPTION?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
On one occasion, long ago, you said you had one. I disagree that you have only one.
'you' CAN DISAGREE FOREVER MORE, but the 'thinking' going ON, WITHIN 'this head' ONLY 'I' KNOW, FOR SURE.
Now, if 'you' REALLY WANT TO KEEP DISAGREEING that I have ONLY One BELIEF, ONLY, then PLEASE FEEL ABSOLUTELY FREE to list ANY of ALL 'the BELIEFS', which 'you' think or BELIEVE that I HAVE.
Now, is 'this' the ONLY ACTUAL example, if 'it' is, of ANY of these 'false assumptions', which 'you' CLAIM I HAVE?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
What are 'you' on ABOUT here "iwannaplato"?
What are you on about, in general, Age?
What can be CLEARLY SEEN here is ANOTHER PRIME example of WHEN one is just ASKED to CLARIFY what they are ACTUALLY talking ABOUT or REFERRING TO, INSTEAD of JUST DOING SO, 'they' RUN AWAY, or RETREAT.
What I am ON ABOUT, in general, here, is LEARNING HOW to COMMUNICATE BETTER, with 'you', human beings, while I AWAIT for 'those' who ARE Truly INTERESTED in MAKING 'the world' A MUCH BETTER place for their children, and for their children, and for their children, forever more. Or, in other words, what I AM DOING here, in general, is DOING what I THINK it TAKES, which WILL CREATE A MUCH BETTER 'world' FOR 'children', in general.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
Okay I will NOT now then.
I can live with that.
And, what are those PRESUPPOSED 'beliefs', EXACTLY?
By the way, "iwannaplato" have 'you' NOTICED how OFTEN 'you' ALLUDE TO 'things'?
At a certain point, I find that you are not meeting me, as I would like to be met in a conversation.
YES 'we' HAVE NOTICED. 'you' PREFER to just PRESENT 'your OWN views' and HOPE that "others" WILL PRESENT 'their OPPOSING or AGREEING VIEWS', accordingly.
Whereas, I PREFER to do the DIRECT approach and just ASK FOR CLARITY or ELABORATION. I WILL, sometimes, ALSO JUST DIRECTLY HIGHLIGHT and POINT OUT when some 'thing' IS False, Wrong, Inaccurate, or Incorrect.
For example, 'you' EXPRESS some 'things' that SEEM to be the case, TO 'you'. Which I ACCEPT is HOW 'those things' SEEM, TO 'you', even IF, and WHEN, I have a COMPLETELY OPPOSING VIEW.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
I have explained this before.
AND, I ACKNOWLEDGED 'this' BEFORE, AS WELL.
So, you EXPLAINING AGAIN, makes some wonder, WHY?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
You will only (for the most part) share your positions information, in a dialogue, when asked to do this OR when you make judgments of other people, showing your beliefs and assumptions.
Here 'you' go AGAIN, MAKING JUDGMENTS, and CLAIMS, ABOUT 'me', in regards to ONLY what 'you' THINK or BELIEVE I AM DOING, based on NOTHING MORE than 'your' VERY OWN BELIEFS or ASSUMPTIONS.
Now, 'you' here WANT TO CLAIM that I MAKE 'judgments of other people', which SHOW, and thus REVEAL, TO 'you', 'my' ALLEGED, beliefs AND assumptions. So, I WILL now QUESTION 'you' ABOUT whether 'you' WILL PROVIDE ACTUAL examples of WHEN 'you' THINK or BELIEVE I have DONE 'this'?
AND AGAIN, if 'you' WILL NOT, then WHY NOT?
Will 'you' PLEASE REFRAIN FROM just ALLUDING TO 'things', when 'you' CLAIM 'things', ESPECIALLY when ABOUT 'me', and INSTEAD JUST PROVIDE the ACTUAL examples?
Again, if no, then WHY NOT?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
It ends up like an interrogation.
AND, as can be CLEARLY SEEN here, 'you' end up just MAKING ACCUSATIONS, WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY ACTUAL PROOF.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
I'd prefer a more balanced dialogue.
ONCE MORE, 'you' ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE to SAY and CLAIM ABSOLUTELY ANY 'thing'. BUT, WITHOUT ACTUAL PROOF, what 'you' SAY and CLAIM are just YOUR WORDS, ALONE.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
Yes, I know, you think your approach is the only way to get at assumptions and a clear sense of the other person's definitions.
BUT I HAVE NEVER EVER THOUGHT 'this' AT ALL.
WHY would 'you' PRESUME such A 'thing' as 'this' here?
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
I disagree. You have your preferences. I have mine. Allusive communication is missing a lot. I find your communication is missing a lot. At a certain point, I join you, though not in the same style, in not communicating much.
'you' spend quite a bit of 'time' EXPRESSING A LOT OF WORDS, but NOT ACTUALLY GETTING TO THE POINT, or NOT ACTUALLY SAYING A LOT, as some would say.
As AGAIN SHOWN and PROVED just here.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
Hopefully now 'you' WILL CLARIFY, especially considering I ASKED, NICELY, for 'you' TO.
I accept that you intended this communication to be nicely presented.
When 'you' SAY and WRITE the words, 'this communication', are 'you' REFERRING TO 'this communication', FROM 'me', in this WHOLE FORUM?
Because if no, then here is ANOTHER example of NOT SEEING the ACTUAL and True INTENTION BEHIND 'the words' being SAID and WRITTEN.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
I would say it is more neutral than that.
Okay. 'you' ARE FREE TO SAY what SEEMS, or APPEARS LIKE, TO 'you'.
Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:32 am
Nice, to me, is not the mere absence of insults or judgments.
Okay. AND, 'nice' TO "others", CAN BE DIFFERENT, correct?
