"Silverfox appears not to have been reading the posts in which I mentioned such logically presented realities as "time is money". Time is not money. It only has an equivalence to money from an exclusively financial view (his wife's?). The former statement is a commonly stated reality. The latter statement is true. Nonetheless "time is money" sounds so logical -- it has some truth in it in certain circumstances often forgotten by the person who states it -- that millions of people keep saying it (not the least, by the way, Scientologists, whom I troubled to check out and have rejected but with some specific recognitions for the book Dianetics -- recognitions I have recorded in TT posts). But saying something does not make it true; it only makes it a mantra.

Because logical sounding ideas sound true, most people accept them as true; they become what normal people believe. But actually they may be logical yet irrational, which is indeed why the word "rational" was invented when the word "logical" already existed. It was invented because the word logical was powerless to point out the incoherence, in certain circumstances, of such ideas as "time is money". And this explains why some of the ideas of "normal" people can be irrational, even insane."

Irrelevant. You are padding.

"Lastly, Silverfox may have interest to know that yesterday I did present my proposal to some people positioned to get a hearing for it. These are people who have more prestige than I and so, if they pay it some attention, it will in due course enhance the degree of attention that ordinary people pay to the principles of dialogue"

That's exactly what I proposed that you should do, as I am not prestige enough, or positioned to 'hear' it. "IF," ... As in: If they pay attention, is the key word. Calls for constructive dialogue is nothing new...so it's not going to be pursued.

"Since I have read several pages of Silverfox's link in order that I can be courteous to Silverfox, I think it now is incumbent on Silverfox to read the one page of the link above, a link that I have now several times provided. It will take him only a few minutes."

You assume that I did not read it previously... and you know what the word 'assume' does to people huh?
You didn't have to read the links so as to be courteous to me. The links were provided as further data, at your insistence. You now shoot the messenger!
My viewpoints are as essential to my thinking, as are yours to you.

If perhaps, your Authentixcoaches theses was put into a more readily simplified manner of language structure, instead of padded waffling, it would be able to be more readily understood by many. If it was more understood by more people, perhaps you would not have to rely on 'punting' it here at TT. I doubt that there are any takers for the course amongst the TT population. 'KISS' works for me!

A long while back, most of us found out that bullshit baffles brains!

Note that the above is all submitted with an accompanying smile. No malice is intended.
