The quote in that post that lists three primary foci of Buddhism that even a housecat could see directly connects to your issues. You didn’t respond to two of those. Then the point that your approach, distinct from Abrahamic and in general scientists ways of determining, or trying to, how to act in the world, has to do with intra-psychic approaches. IOW you are more alligned with Buddhists than with most objectivists and also those you might align with epistemologically (such as scientists and those who accept scientific epistemology). All that you ignored.
You brought up Karma and Reincarnation. Then act as if my pointing out that you did not respond to what I posted was not accurate. I mena, you couldn’t even bother to look at the post when it is pointed out that you didn’t respond to it. Further you brought up reincarnation and Karma AS IF these were relevent to my post. It was mentioned as irrelevent in my posts as far as the many striking similarities between Buddhism and your own conclusions.
This would be a relevant point IF I said that all Buddhist ideas were shared by you. I did not.
If you had actually checked the link you would see nothing there about morals, just blanket statements about a mind that constucts potentially fallible ideas. One piece…(though, of course, it pisses me off that your continuous denial, inability to interact with ideas and laziness mean I have to repeat myself. This hallucination that others will come in an explain is religious in nature)
Further, it has repeatedly been said to you that your focus is on concepts that are very hard for even long practicing buddhists to understand. Let alone someone who has no interest or experience in Buddhism.
You are dishonest.
The post I wrote was directed to others, pointing out something obvious to others with some knowledge of both you and Buddhism. You could have honestly ignored it and said nothing. Instead you dishonestly post as if you are responding to it, when you were clearly not. When I point this out, you act like this cannot be shown, which is so dumb it boggles the mind.
I pointed out in a good half dozen quotes precisely what I was pointing out to others: the tremendous affinity between many things you say (and repeat) and Buddhism.

Obviously it does not just revolve around that and I pointed out specific portions of those posts that make that clear.
Notice what Iambguous does. Instead of actually responding to the places where I point this out - iow dealing with the justification for my conclusion, he simply makes a blanket claim.
It is easy to make a blanket claim. It is harder when one has to actually respond to specific points. So, he avoids the latter.
He is dishonest.
Iamb you are dishonest.
And this is one of the main reasons you generate ire in others. The story you come up with for the ‘real reasons’ is simply convenient.
Seriously: how does it feel to have to lie about yourself over and over. And look, I know you are capable of posting a denial that you do this. Or playing to the gallery.
But if you respect yourself at all, even if you play those bs games, how does it feel that after all these years of struggle, you can’t even be honest with yourself and have to lie over and over about what you do in relation to others?
You can play dumb and pretend I am one of three stooges, but you know better.
Lie again here to me publically. Easy as pie. But ask yourself, what the fuck do you gain from that lie? And what might you lose?
And notice the narcissism in a thread that is not yours, that if we are not focusing on what you want to focus on, this is somehow a failure to address something. I have responded to you in a myriad of ways, including being right on point with what you want to criticizing to your behavior and assumptions and more. what I did here was to point out an irony to others. I don’t have to satisfy your need for a solution to conflicting goods and fragmentation - though I have come at that issue elsewhere in a variety of tones and approaches. I think the truly fascinating thing is how much I avoid the conclusion that you might just be a moron. I would never have pictured a moron stringing together some of you posts, but maybe this is why you repeat yourself so often. You had an idea and you just keep repeating it. A one trick pony. Like someone using the same response in a dialogue, regardless, and you literally cannot conceive of anything else.
