What can you do with someone who refuses to listen to what you have to say, because they are totally against belief of any kind? He sticks to his own views and world, and whoever does not reflect them, is immediately rejected, misconstrued, deflected, etc. With all sorts of psychological tactics being used to keep himself, locked in, unquestioning of the perspective–he–ignores everyone else. This particular person, however, goes onto blast other people, accusing them of being ignorant, self-sabotaging, and making excuses for 'the real truth'. Well, unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help, until they want it. He is convinced logic goes nowhere and is not a useful tool for discovering knowledge. I can't make him see, show him how it works, if he won't even look! So my only options remain to let him be, come up with an idea so compelling [he is tempted to think for himself], or give a taste that is irresistible. I'm voting on the latter. This is all for now. – Josiah S. Cooper

• Part 2 [March 2nd, 2020, around 11PM]:

You deflect, ignore, misconstrue my words, refuse to listen to my words [what they point to] if they don't reflect your own views, and reverse the blame when you can't defend your position in any other way. It's how you persist in this fantasy world–pretending–you know, calling things, for which they are not. You're still on the horse. We all are. Instead of judgments being visible through thought, they have simply transferred to your intuition–the heart–and via actions. You cannot act without your values, thus, you cannot act without judgment. Thoughts do not change the equation.

Instead of using thinking to do thy bidding, you are now obsessively adamant towards people about what they believe. Instead of thinking you know, you just say you know. Rarely, does someone learn to think for themselves, logically. They read books, study religion, and learn to worship their new-found god. Very few, rebel, far enough to just ignore the propaganda, and just be, with their own thoughts. Not reject the thoughts, not judge them, but let them evolve. And if you don't want that, fine. I'd be happy to see you admit it, one of these days, if it isn't being done here. Just say you want the silence, and that it's no more special than what anyone else is doing. This is where your ego still lies–'in silence' [invisible to your mind-eye]–saying it 'knows', now, 'obey'. This isn't a direct quote from you–this presence–demonstrates what happens when the sense of identity shrinks. It has to now shout out loudly, because it isn't being given attention, from your awareness–so–we all must be made more aware of it, to give that air of approval of lost purpose. It's compensation.

Logic itself does not require belief, because the method is infallible, if fervently devoted to. We just cannot compute enough information, quickly and powerfully enough to see the full truth–for–every circumstance and subject. Theoretically, it is feasible, to do so–eventually–provided a synthetic brain will exist for the job. Isolation is an effective thing–to get one–aware of themselves. Once that happens, the sense of self is nearly impossible, to get rid of. I mean, solitary confinement type of isolation–not–'one with nature' stuff. You will see–there–cannot be an escape, other than through self-destructive behaviors, of the fight or flight mode, like being compelled by panic, desperation, and despondency.
