when did i call you a name?
are u talking about 'egocentric'?
well i was calling ur thinking such
is that the same as calling someone a name?
hmmn - how should i explain why i disagree with someones thinking?
please post back the name i called you
i am more than happy to argue as that is one basis for diriving philosophy
if you are portraying my argueing as 'fighting'
then i think that is incorrect
i think i was talking about something u braught up
(ur 'answering the discussion')
which is that other beings besides us do not make art
i disagree
if i have completely missed what u think
why can't you tell me what you think
instead of diverting into presenting confusion or presenting me as a 'bad
boy'
But, my views are much more like those of the complex adaptive systems

"know" is relative
but i am more talking of ideas - not personal per say
i am sorry that you feel i am being rude
my intent is to discuss ideas not be condescending
i was talking about that you don't think art is made by other beings
i think art = life and
i think art is made by other beings
i think i am being clear
ur statements b4 represent a phenomonoligists way of thinking
which is a philosophy based on the premise that reality consists of objects
and events as they are perceived or understood in human consciousness
and not of anything independent of human consciousness
