If you can be objective you could put yourself in anyone situation. You wouldn't need to have their experience you could look at their life and understand them. Troy you were arguing to a woman that Feminism is of lesser importance than the Black struggle. I am making a subtle point here. It's not about whether it is in fact needed but that you don't think it's needed but it's irrelevant to you as a man. In that instance your subjectivity has blinded you and deafened you.

I would say it is the reverse. I will think why am I having an emotional reaction to a statement. I think about my thinking. My arguments are generally about questioning a person's motivation. There's no objectivity because a person is shaped by their life and their environment. You can mitigate that by examining self rigorously. The unexamined life is lacking objectivity. I can have an emotional reaction that's being human: exasperation frustration or agreement. Those are a function of how the conversant feels based on how the discussion is going. Cynique is probably one of the most critical thinkers in the forum. She also from time to time has commented on psychological and emotional make up of the men. More so than the women if it all. She has also stopped posting because it is futile and nothing changes in the mind or the world. Everyone has a style Pioneer is the least egotistical. K2 is the most. Pioneer will make a statement and ask others about their experiences and to prove him wrong. I don't agree always with his conclusions because I thi nk more abstractly than emotionally. @Troy will concede the point but your position is you are right because you're an engineer and your read and think. However you will argue points with out reading what has been posted. You don't have the time nor inclination to read everything. Someone called me a science fan boy because I hold both Richard Feynman and Isaac Newton in high regard. I also hold David Foster Wallace in high regard. And Angela Davis Miles Davis and Prince. The quality of their "thought " is of an entirely different order than everyone else in their field. However Miles Davis, Prince, David Foster Wallace and early Newton , weren't balanced people. I don't know enough about Angela Davis to comment. K2 is more like a 50's dad/Reverend Ike kind of guy. He has strong opinions but will read and summarize what is posted. He also seems more willing or capable of changing his position. And then fervently believing his new viewpoint. I don't belive in facts or objectivity. I have been working as a psychic for over 20 years I have talked with literally thousands of women and probably hundreds of men and probably about 50 - 100 couples. What I have noticed is people's ideas shape their world and the world shapes their ideas. That's not really news. What is interesting is to ask those people questions or make comments about their reactions to events and situations. That I logically don't or shouldn't know. What then happens is the person can hear me when I suggest a difference of approach or talk about their motivation. That doesn't generally happen in discussions. It has happened on occasion because of statements made by Pioneer Mel and Cynique. The difference though is Pioneer self assessed and accurately. I can't recall anyone else doing so with such honesty and humility. That puts Pioneer in his own category. Which is why he has a special place as far as I am concerned . Also he brings humor to the proceedings. And it is directed at others and himself.

I believe objectivity is impossible because we can never escape our experience. That's a purely theoretical statement. Why mention that my approach is emotional?

So does every woman have an equal chance with you.

How does your response make any sense. @Troy

I have time

How can you discuss something much less think about something that is non experiential. Like being pregnant or another person or a cat. Even with imagination it's a function of our life.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44215656 Ukraine paid Michael Cohen to meet with Donald Trump. The details are interesting @Troy https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-manafort/judge-questions-ex-trump-campaign-chiefs-bid-to-suppress-evidence-idUSKCN1IO19F https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-twitter/trumps-blocking-of-critics-on-twitter-violates-constitution-u-s-judge-idUSKCN1IO2P2 Cohen and Manafort or getting some heat. Has been able interesting couple of days. Let's see what June has in store.

How do you read a book without having the experience of reading the book. Everything you do is part of your experience. Sometimes reading can profoundly change your behavior like Malcolm X I likedon't what you wrote except the criticism of Pioneer. It's like you are putting him down to highlight your point. You may not mean it that way. And if Pioneer doesn't see it as a put down then I am projecting my methods on to you. I'll ask you a question later to demonstrate what I am trying to say.

@Troy Think about what I am saying. How many views do you hold that aren't based on your experience. The view could support or be in opposition to your experience. If the view supportstory you are taking your experience and saying it applies generally. If it doesn't it could be an ideal that you strive for in your life. Even imaginary or unreal ideas and concepts are a function of experience. The only thing that isn't like that would be the invention of string or keyboard instruments. Since percussive wind and brass mimic sounds in nature.

Be White

Can we ever describe anyone else's experience. I think we can't which means any ideas we have about the world are our ideas about our own world's. Which is why I say there aren't any objective truths.

He isn't stable. He will be publicly humiliated and most likely stripped of his cash. We are watching a Greek Tragedy. I think one of his kids may turn on him. I feel sorry for him as a person. But he deserves what's coming.

Yes he is.

What's not a projection of our experience.

Are there White people here

Motion pictures sounds like moving pictures. movies sounds snappy.

A bit of humor .https://www.spin.com/2018/05/the-onion-michael-cohen-letter-2013/

Treason and emoluments.

Why are they flawed on your mind.

I am not optimistic about America. It's like the fall of Rome. You should have a lot of clients.

Troy two separate courts coordinated with the Special Counsel to raid Cohen's home office and hotel room. That means they have something on him. In the comingredients weeks you will hear this Presidency being connected to Watergate. Since March I check the news every day for new developments. The speed of change is increasing exponentially. July is critical astrological and in terms of court dates. And other issues. You will be leas certain by the end of the month. What wealthy man takes four payments to pay back $150,000. I did a quick estimate he has $500,000,000 of debt. He has about 500 LLC quite a few produce little to no income. He may be using his foundations as his personal bank account. He used his foundation to buy a six foot oil painting of himself. His inauguration fund seems to have tens of millions missing. See you in June.

Have a read through this article. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-legal-troubles-2018-5?r=US&IR=T Here's one from Fox News. The Justice Department asks its watchdog to look into alleged wrongdoing in the FBI's investigation of Russia interference in the 2016 election after President Trump orders a review into whether agents infiltrated his campaign Special Counsel Robert Mueller tells Trump's legal team he could wrap up his Russia investigation by Sept. 1 if he is able to interview the president by mid-July, Rudy Giuliani tells Fox News July looks to be hot. @Troy

Cohen being squeezed is not partisan. Time will tell.
