Buckingham palace is on the internet btw. I know that for absolute certain.
But you asked for where a palace might be, and so I gave you one.
Age is an enigma. He likes to talk abstractly about things, but rarely actually gets to talking about the things themselves. So he'll go on and on about how he can prove this or that, but he'll rarely just present his proof of this or that.
Do you need to have that one belief?Age wrote:
But I only have one belief, and it is nothing like what you are alluding to here.

Fyi you should not expect any clarity from him, he's explicitly stated his goal here is NOT clear communication with the people on this forum. If you feel like you're talking to him, that's a mistake - he's not talking to you, he's using you to talk to his audience from the future. He thinks people from the future are going to read this forum to get his wisdom, or some silly shit like that.
Apologies if you knew all that already.
But I never said absolutely any thing about 'any process one experiences with me'. So, how could 'my description' here, which had absolutely nothing at all about what 'another' experiences with me, be allegedly and supposedly 'misleading'.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 amThis description of the process one experiences with you is misleading though not technically false.Age wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 10:37 pm But, if a 'philosophy forum' is not the palace to go to share what one thinks or knows is true, and not the place to go to be expected to be questioned and/or challenged over their views and/ir claims, then could you anyone else inform of where is the best place to go to, where I can expect to be questioned and challenged over my views and claims?
Once again, you are missing what I am asking. And, what I am asking for is to be challenged.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Generally, in philosophy forums, if one wants to share what one thinks or knows is true and to be questioned and challenged about that, then one does (what you have done in some cases) and opens a thread on the topic, shares one's views there and responds to the challenges.
Well, obviously, if someone 'asserts' some thing, especially in a 'philosophy forum', then if they do not already, then it would be better for them if they 'expected' to get challenged, and/or questioned. So, if absolutely any one 'asserts' some thing to me, then 'expect' to challenged and/or questioned until you 'justify all of your assertions'. I do what I 'expect' others to do me.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Yes, you have done this, but if we look at the actual interaction...
Someone responds to part of all of your assertions and you request they define all their terms and justify all their assertions.
Again, I do to others what I 'expect' of others to do, to me.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am The discussion moves towards them justifying their positions,
Well, again obviously, if while one is responding to, questioning, and/or challenging me in regards to absolutely any thing and they do not expect to, cannot do, or do not want to 'define their terms' and/or 'justifying their position', then, once again, do not make about any 'position' and do not express any terms.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am defining their terms and away from you justifying your position and defining your terms.
This is because what I claim I 'know', is irrefutable, and that I have 'the proof' that 'justifies' it. And, by showing that another one's position, assertion, or claim, which opposes mine cannot actually be 'justified', then 'my position, assertion, and claim will be proved True in and by itself.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Of course any discussion probably should include both processes, but yours, if you get your way, ends up with anyone who interacts with you getting the onus to define and justify.
Again, some 'judgments' are perfectly fine and all right. While, obviously, others are not.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If they do not do this, then they get judgments aimed at them or aimed at all the people of this time.
Hopefully you are, now, at least, a little bit closer to, better, understanding why I am doing what I am here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am I am not saying that all conflict will disappear if you focus on justifying and explaining your position and terms.
But I have no tendency at all towards disagreement. So, why did you begin to assume, and then concluded, and believe otherwise?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Philosophy forums, just like forums in general, have tendencies towards disagreement and position-taking - though this tendency includes you also.
This, I thought, was blatantly obvious.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am But if you actually look at your interactions in general here you will see that there is constant conflict.
What is the word 'this' here referring to, exactly?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am You can blame that on the other people, and if the results of blaming that on other people works for you, well, great. It seems like, in the post I am quoting, you are not experiencing this as working for you.
Great, then let 'us' do 'this'. By the way, I just refer to 'this process' as 'arguing', or just 'logical reasoning', itself.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am I understand that you see the process of confirmation as one of dialogue. One could even say that it shares some elements with the Socratic method. We don't just simple present proofs, we arrive at the truth in a collaborative dialogue with assertions, questions, challenges, explanations, shorter justifications and finally the truth is the only thing remaining, the only thing that withstood the process. In the abstract I'm on the same page.
But, to me, they do not 'have to' justify 'any' point at all. I, however, will want to see them 'justify' any point that they present as a truth, or when they believe that 'their point' is true. For example if one just said something like; In my view things are 'this way', then they do not have to 'justify' absolutely any thing nor point here. If, however, if one was to say, 'Things are this way', then because they have presented this as a truth, and presented it as though they believe it as true, then I expect them to be able to 'justify' that position or point. Just like I expect of 'me' to be able to do, and to, eventually, do, one day. And, by 'one day' I mean, hopefully, through 'argue', 'logical reasoning', with another.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am In practice, here, what I see is that either someone goes along with your process, which means they end up having to justify any points they make
Again, if one cannot define 'the terms' that they use, then why use 'those terms'?
If one 'paraphrases' Accurately then there would be absolutely nothing to Correct. But, if one Accurately paraphrases, exactly, then all well and good. However, why not just repeat the exact same words, in the way that I have presented them, instead. That way they could not get what I have said and written Wrong, at all.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am and make sure they never in any way paraphrase your position,
I have explained why I do what I do above here. Hopefully you are understanding more as 'we' move along here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am and their justifications and definitions lead to more questions and the discussion becomes you questioning them and you, it seems, will not move forward with justifying and defining your position and terms, until their position is utterly clear.
Okay. So, nothing at all really different here in regards to how adult human beings 'philosophical discussions' have turned out, over the past few thousand years or so, up to when this is being written.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am I remember Harbal responding to you with great patience for page after page until he finally couldn't take it any more and during those pages your point of view, what you want to share, was not justified more nor your terms defined.
Are you here suggesting that there is something wrong, or not good, in me expressing an actual Truth?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am As a part of the process, if someone says something about what you have said that you consider not exactly what you said, you say you never said that - or use other similar descriptions.
Okay, thank you for sharing with 'us' what 'you' do.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If I am talking to someone and they say 'But you don't like your job', for example. I might say. I never said that. But I would immediately add 'What I said was, that I felt my boss did not share the responsibilities fairly.'
Yes, very True. As I have explained previously, and have also already explained why I do so, previously as well.
Or, they just ask you 'on the spot', to just clarify what you actually did say.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am So the other person has to go back through what may be hundreds of posts looking for the moment they got the impression you don't like your job.
Only if you do things in 'the, only, way' you are presenting here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am And sometimes, from my perspective, the differences are not significant.
What does this do? it adds to the work of the other person.
Here is another example of when you make accusations, assertions, and claims 'about me', with absolutely any 'real examples'. For all 'we' know I may have never actually 'drawn conclusions about the implications about them, or their ideas, which were not exact quotes', at all.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am You certainly allow yourself to read into what people say. You draw conclusions about the implications about them or their ideas that are not exact quotes.
Well until you present any actual example here, then 'we', literally, have nothing to 'look at', nor 'discuss'.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am But when others do this they are met with a simple denial.
Are you aware that the amount of 'time' you have spent talking 'about me', and what 'I, supposedly, do', here, in this forum, had been spent 'arguing', or 'logical reasoning', 'with me', in a Truly open, honest, and curios way, then 'we' could have probably answered and solved just about all of the 'age old' or 'meaningful' questions, in Life.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am There are other examples where the process moves the onus of work to other people.
Once again, if absolutely any thing at all 'mystifies' you, then I will again suggest that you just seek out clarification, first, before you do absolutely anything else, including before you make absolutely any assumptions at all.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Posting things with the phrase 'not necessarily' often just mystify.
There are, probably, a few other ways I could have written just about every thing that I have here, as well.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am You could say, I am not writing this with you as my target audiience.
Well both of your examples are NOT TRUE. Whereas what I said and wrote IS TRUE.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Or you could write I am writing this with you as my target audience. But instead we get 'I am not necessarily writing this with you as my target audience.'
Has it never ever crossed 'that thinking' to just ask for clarification?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am With the same or even less words, you could actually move the discussion closer to understanding, but instead the poster gets a non-committed, near non-statement.
But, this is not necessary at all, especially who my my target audience is, exactly.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Now such a statement could be used to point out the assumptions another might be making. Great. But in context, if the goal is to have the kind of collaborative search for truth indicated in what I quoted above, actually letting people know you are writing with the people here as an intended audience is not only polite but necessary.
Again, this is another prime example of making assumptions and assuming things get in the way of 'seeing' things absolutely clearly.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am And there are a number of things you say and do that hint at, imply, if not outright indicate that you don't really respect most people here.
Well, for example, when one disagrees that I actually do have respect for all people, of all times, always, then this is surprising. For the sole fact that they have absolutely nothing at all to go off, or go on, other than their own views, opinions, presumptions, and beliefs, alone. Which, obviously, will openly admit could all be completely False, Wrong, Inaccurate, and/or Incorrect, anyway.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am And yet you seems surprised when you are met with disagreement and to a degree, I hope you'll notice, that is even more so than other posters experience.
Well I will, again, suggest that if one feels that it is 'unpleasant' interacting 'with me' here, then they just refrain "themselves" from doing so. Also, if my communication style seems 'condescending', at the 'very least', in absolutely anyway at all to someone, then 'their perception' is completely and utterly Wrong. But, if one does not want to accept 'this', and they want to find out, for sure, if my communications style is or not, then just ask some challenging questions to me. However, if one wants to believe that my communication style is, undoubtedly, 'condescending', to say the 'very least', then there is absolutely nothing at all that I could do, to change 'their belief'. Except, of course, other than 'bandy' to 'their wants and desires' and change 'the way' I communicate here, for them. Which, just so all are aware, is not going to happen.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If we add in that the way you communicate at the very least seems condescending and seems to place yourself outside of the fallible humans the patterns you see others engaging in, the process of interacting with you is unpleasant.
Again, what you perceive as 'a negative way' at all, and maybe just your imagination only and/or just the result of some pre-exiting belief or presumption, which is interfering with your ability to 'look at' and 'see' things absolutely clearly here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If anyone does not engage in the process the way you think it should be carried out, they can expect to either be judged as being like other human beings in a negative way and/or somehow proving something.
Again, the whole purpose of saying and using the words 'it comes off' is to reiterate that what is saying and claiming could be absolutely False, Wrong, Inaccurate, and/or Incorrect.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am IOW you allow yourself to draw conclusions very quickly about what you think is logically necessitated by their behavior - apart from this being, often, an unjustified conclusion (other options are available) it comes off as 'you do this my way or I will point out negative things about you'
Okay. I have also 'tried to' show the issues, troubles, and faults with how your communicate by responding 'the way' that you do.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am I have also tried to show problems with how you communicate by responding using your own formulations, so that perhaps you can see how they do not in any way more the dialogue forward and have other unpleasant effects.
But, 'the way' you, posters, here 'react' is, exactly, what I want and desire here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If you want to see this as simply ridiculing you or attacking you, well, so be it. I have tried before to explain why people, including myself, react to your approach the way we do.
Yes I have. But, this will not stop you from 're-repeating, over and over, again and again, the exact same things that you are again here, correct?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am You have indicated that you are not condescending and don't have these negative attitudes and all that I am saying is baseless.
Are you also aware of how you come across here and what you say and claim here does not match whatever is going on inside of that body, as well?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Perhaps you don't have these attitudes, but your communication with great regularity then does not match whatever is going on inside of you.
Obviously. And, already known, and before you told me the exact same thing here the last time that you did.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am What one indicates to others is not just the exact words one uses.
In face to face communication there is implicit communication in voice tone, body language, timing, facial expressions, what one talks about when, the wider context and patterns in the interaction, not just the exact words.
Who cares?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am One can, and many do, assert that the implicit communication tells us more about the attitudes and relationship than the explicit communication - the words.
Again, who cares?
But, what is the, exact, reason why you do this, as well as why you want to do this?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Yes, we just have words on a screen. However we still have what is focused on, what is accepted and not excepted, how we are responded to or not, what is stated clearly and what is avoided, what is expected before judgment, what is acknowledged or reacted to with silence. The beyond-verbal patterns and what they indicate. These affect the reactions you get and no amount of quoting you back to you can show you this, though I have tried through a variety of methods to show you by quoting and other methods.
Finally.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am I have seen your judgments of me and they no longer bother me.
you are coming across here as though you are wanting to say just about absolutely any thing, in the hope that you will get 'a bite' back.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If you want to dismiss this with your usual judgments, so be it, as you would say.
Great, so ask me some questions, for clarification reasons. And, by the way if you stick with questions in regards to the 'age old questions' and/or in regards to one's actual views or claims here, instead of asking clarifying questions about if another is getting help, outside of this forum, for the way the communicate, or not, out, as these sort of questions are only distractions here, then "socrates" might well be very proud of you.
But, it is 'you', alone here, who wants 'me' to change 'my communication style' so that 'you' and others react 'differently. 'I', on the other hand, could not care less, how 'you', nor others', react here 'to me' nor even how 'you' react towards 'each other' here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am but right now, in relation to what I have just asserted, if it has any interest for you at all, if among your reactions, especially defensive ones, you have any curiosity about whether I might be correct about some or all of this, my suggestion is that you look back on previous dialogues you have had, probably best not ones with me, and see if any strikes you as supporting what I said.
Could you get anymore 'condescending' here.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am I would also suggest that you look at communicative patterns you have with people in face to face life.
If you are asking 'me' a question here, then there is no question mark at the end. But, then again, you might just be trying to convey some sort of message here, only.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am What happens when you try to share what you consider true with them - the things you want to share with us here.
Of what actual reason you 'knowing' this would 'this answer' have a bearing on any actual thing to do with 'philosophical discussions' here?
Why do you BELIEVE that I want to change 'the way I communicate with you posters here'?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Even better ask them about it and see if any of the patterns I am mentioning here are one's they can recognize in face to face communication. And then there's mulling on your own.
Human beings are able to learn always through experience, and each and every experience was, once, provided learning for all of you.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am It would be lovely if everything could be handled in a question answer approach, but we learn, also through experience.
Will you provide any examples?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am We often need time when what we are trying to learn might be very challenging for us.
Again, will you provide any examples.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Questions and requests for justiifcation can also be avoidance patterns. Some things have to settle in.
But, once again, I do not, and I will repeat DO NOT, want to change 'my communication style' so that you, posters, 'react differently'.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If you are not curious or interested, well, then obviously you won't engage my suggested processes.
LOL But absolutely every thing, in the exact way absolutely every thing is here, is working out for me perfectly. And, if you are interested, working out for me far better, and even far quicker, than I had previously imagined or envisionedIwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If you can only interpret what I just did here in negative and/or signs of my limitations ways, that's also not of interest to me. You will have misread what I wrote and my intent. I saw what might have been a tiny or larger opening in what you wrote to someone else above and responded this way, person to person. That there might be some vulnerability that you are conscious of in you and a real wondering why this is not working out like you hoped/hope so far.
Again, you speak as though 'denial', itself, is some sort of bad or negative thing, itself.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am (when I have in the past suggested you might be feeling such things, this was met by complete denial on your part.
I never even began to think that you meant any thing, in the least, negative about my, possible, feel such things.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am Fine. Just know I do not mean anything in the least negative about you possibly feeling such things.
Okay, this sounds great.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 8:04 am If anything quite the opposite)
I'm going to take a break from our interaction.
Take care.
Were you also not yet aware that I am waiting for someone who is interested in what you call 'my truth claim proof'?
Obviously, if they want to know if it is different or not, then they will ask to see and/or hear it.

Which would be 'different' to the 'present stupid self', how, exactly?

Of course the actual Truth of things is within 'you'.

In fact, you'll always find what you are seeking, else the seeking would be a complete waste of time and energy. Pointless.
But, all sorts of different 'truth claims' come from all sorts of different human beings. That is different 'you's. And, there is not one 'truth claim' that has to be even close to being True, and Right, anyway.
Where 'this place' is, exactly, is already 'known'.
Yes, it's right HERE already known. Everyone including you can know it's right here, I mean, where else would it be?
