Since you are asking, sure. In a few ways.
In the abstract, in the clouds, you certainly focus on the personal, as in personal history, dasein…
That is, in your philosophy you focus on the personal. Your philosophy focuses on how individual/personal history, culture, experiences (etc) affect what one believes. Peachy. You’re right you are centered on the personal…in your philosophy, in the abstract or in the clouds as you like to put it.
Above, Felix is, I would guess, focusing on your not having any community sense at all. You have nothing to do with his coming to feel less fragmented. Though your posts are often presented as you trying to get help with your F & F, people sharing their approaches and justifying them, for your sake.
And then in the context of Buddhism, this thread, there is the Buddhist idea that one’s own suffering is intertwined with the suffering of others and compassion for and helping others helps one’s own pain and fragmentation reduce. But since you know next to nothing about Buddhism and as a participant in ILP show very little interest in such things, what Felix might mean would be missed by you. So, he gets told, yet again, what you have written before countless times as if it is a relevent response.
You certainly elict quite a bit of angry, critical responses. But even when people share their approaches without criticism, approaches that might help what you present as the negative, searching state you are in, they get told what they are saying is all in their heads, or a contraption, even if their approach has more science behind it than yours. The main point here however is your responses are anti-communal, anti-Buddhist, anti-compassionate. The second being relevant in this thread.
And then there is you inability to take responsibility, here, for your actions! In your philosophy sure…in any particular interpersonal interaction here, no.
You simply cannot, as far as I have seen, take any responsibility for what you do. You were never wrong about things. If someone critiques a behavior, it was was not what they say happened. Always.
Hence, you cannot take personal responsibility, here, in any case.
Up in the clouds you would readily admit that you might be wrong. But in any specific interaction, nah, you never notice that you were. Humility in the clouds, but here on the ground in concrete interactions, never.
Last, another way you get rid of the personal is that you present your goal, often, as finding that which every rational person should do. Rather than, for example, what you would want to do as a single person. And you will not try anything, other than your habits, unless it can be demonstrated that every single human should do X. That is also an elimination of the personal, presuming there is the one best path for every human, as if we were ciphers.
That last point I don’t think is what Felix is getting at.
In any case, up in the clouds you talk about the powerful affects of the personal on what people believe.
Unfortunately we interact with you here on the ground where you do not take responsibility for your individual actions and choices.
which is…
Uh, just like you, right?
You literally could not see what he was writing about. You saw it in a way that 1) allowed you to repeat your philosophy and 2) removed any need to look at yourself as someone interacting with others in certain specific ways.
When you read the posts of someone you have had a number of interactions with and you find yourself thinking
this is a good moment to repeat my philosophy, that’s what they need to hear…
consider that you are most likely utterly wrong. They don’t need to hear it (yet again). You are literally not seeing them and merely habitually repeating yourself.
You haven’t read what they wrote well.
And if you think there is no context here because we are not talking about my or Felix’s ideas about, say, abortion, you are not seeing the very specific, concrete context of your response to Felix above. These are contexts, your interactions here with individual posters here at ILP. That was one moment, one act on your part. Where you utterly failed to understand or even show the least interest in trying to understand another mind. Where you interpreted out of a kind of functional narcissism.
How ought you live?
i dunno, when you find your scientifically demonstrated rules someday, it won’t matter because you won’t be able to even notice other people. At least, so it seems, from your behavior here.
