That is not is not what i am saying. I mean to say either you also leave the room or i also do not. Given that we both are humans, the basic working of our bodies and mind must be the same.
It has nothing to do with respect. Discussion entails disagreement. Disrespect is an entirely different thing. I cannot agree with anyone just for showing my respect, if i am sure in my opinion that i am right.
Moreno, i do not believe in that version of subjectivity which postulates that you are right on your side and i am from mine. I believe in if we disagree on any issue, either i am wrong or you, or at least less right or less wrong than each other. So, let us discuss and sort it out.
I already accepted that i still have a lot to learn. But, accepting that i do not know all does not entail that i cannot know anything at all thus should agree with every version.
I am not sure how you concluded that. Presenting arguments in the support of one’s position is not ego, if it is being done in the right way. If you have noticed, i did not merely make the claim that i am right but gave enough reasoning to support that too. On the other hand, i do not think that you provided any proper reasoning to support your claim. You are merely insisting on that we must be experiencing different phenomena but not giving any reasons how that can be possible ever, if we both are humans.
I already accepted that i still have a lot to learn. But again, that does not mean that i have not learned anything so far. If you have noticed, i many times accepted my mistakes/unknowingness at ILP, and accepted other’s versions too. I can do, and will do that again if something worthy comes across.
Some like to call me an objectivist, which i might be, but i have not seen any subjectivist accepting his mistakes and changing his position, at least to my memory. But, unlike them, i cannot agree on that you are right on your side and i am mine. I would rather agree on that i am wrong and you are right.
As you wish, i am okay with that but there is no such intention from my end.
Again, arguing, disagreements and giving reasoning to support one’s arguments, are not supposed to be called as smugness. I am still not sure how you concluded that.
Thanks, best of luck from me too, in case you have been decided not to engage with me ever.
But, keep in mind that there is nothing such in my mind. You are very much welcome if you want, now or ever.
with love,
sanjay
