Ah, I forgot. You are a soothsayer, and you have me completely figured out.
Your type of self described “respect” is too shallow to be described even as an emotion. It’s robot behavoir at the most.
That is a fine opinion you have. Thank you for staying within the bounds of your argument.
No - I just have dealt with Typical internet types before.
I’m more than happy to be chalked up under one of your stereotypes.
I’m trying to explain to you that your ideas of respect are “respecting” something that is not part of Terry or his ideas - but something you invented and put into him.
To a degree, yes, that is what respect is. Someone else’s personal, self-manufactured view of another.
No - that would be called their view of another.
Then, for the folks at home, define your own definition of respect.
Mine would be holding some empathy towards their actions and reactions in their situation, and comparing them to what would have been my own.
Deep appreciation of person/actions/ideas - it’s Love for a person that you don’t really know.
You do not have any respect for his ideas - you think he’s a deluded mad man with a distorted view on the world - and that society should’ve helped him and fixed him.
You may have real respect towards his computer abilities and work, but it’s very clear that you have no reason to watch his vlogs for reasons other than what essentially qualifies as masturbation.
I think you are working on a very many assumptions about the nature of my following his work.
I have deep appreciation for his ability and his struggles in the face of illness, the welfare system, society, and his ability to broadcast those to the world.
I think he is doing something very brave. His “podcast” is the biggest dose of reality I can visit, even if I think some of his words aren’t said with careful analysis or actual bases in reality.
The idea of “Biggest dose of reality i can visit” is fundamentally narcissistic.
Why can’t you understand this? It’s what I meant by Masturbation.
Why can’t you understand this? It’s what I meant by Roleplay.
Roleplay is a different philosophical concept that’s not part of this discussion
Alright, I am narcissistic for holding views that are my own. Especially if those views entail that a one-man, unrehearsed, humorless show is more “reality” than a group of people working off script, jokes, or actual topical content.
He was making a joke there.
No it’s because you’re watching his videos for a selfish purpose and basically almost ignoring what he’s saying.
Oh hahaha
Since I cannot personally help him, yes, every interaction I have with his material is purely one-sided, and selfish.
