My thoughts are being translated into yours. Doesn’t that worry you?
No. My mental filter works automatically. It isn’t your thought that is going into my mind–it is my interpretation of your thought that is going into my mind. But I suppose you knew this already since you use the word “translated”. So, no this idea should not scare anyone. If ever, the most scary thing is how OUR filter, so to speak, works or malfunctions. Think “serial killers and pedophiles or sex offenders”.
Ha! Good job marie!
I have no thoughts but my own. You may have thoughts of your own. I may have thoughts about your thoughts, but they aren’t your thoughts, they are my thoughts. You may have thoughts about my having thoughts about your thoughts, but they aren’t my thoughts, they are your thoughts…

Ha! That is soooooooooooooo good tentative!
Hence the reason it’s impossible to prove that my shade of ‘blue’ that i see is impossible to the shade of ‘blue’ that you see.
Hence the reason it’s impossible to know whether the shade of ‘blue’ that i see is actually the same as the shade of ‘blue’ that you see.
Yeah, subjective reality sucks doesn’t it.
I kind of like the notion of a subjective reality. Consider the possibilities!
Of course, if complete ‘knowledge’ is important to you, then it might be a bit uncomfortable.
A quote I’ve used before,
“Thou art not August unless I make thee so.” - Wallace Stevens

How can you not like the idea of a subjective reality? The ability to create and manipulate your own reality is refreshing. I can only speak for myself but I like being in control of my world.
You aren’t in control of your reality, I am. Fool. Now start doing what I’m thinking you to do.
Lets do it this way…
For each thought if we draw one line in large plain paper,
The amount of total space taken by all the lines reflects how we were focused to the topic in conversation.
The direaction of lines shows how much our thoughts are alike or different for any given topic.
the length of lines reflect the depth of thoughts.
if these are crossing each other very much…We think different for same topic.
If i find any one’s thought for given topic, my thought in reponse can go to any diraction and in any length,
If i am a FREE thinker then I will concentrate on topic only and draw the line in the direction i want, rather then looking at the direction and length of your line.
