I'm in negotiations for a communications person and was referred to this guy who is at the top of the field. He really is good, but the interesting thing is that he draws a massive amount of inspiration from classic jazz, which he calls "naked communication".

"<br /><br />Yep, which is interesting from a couple different directions. One being that they claim that there is no way of knowing the real nature of the world around us and no way to determine causality... and here are those facts we know from the world around you that are the root causes for your behavior. <br /><br />(blink)<br /><br />But also not only do they declare that they <i>can</i> know your root causes, but that in so doing they claim to know, and comprehend, peoples inner thoughts - by virtue of there being <i>no</i> inner thoughts, only reactions to outer stimulus. Those claims to determining the 'root causes' of behavior, are declarations that, at root, there is no 'you' within you, and <i>they</i> are capable of knowing it. <br /><br />Er... <i>who</i> knows it? (<i>Shhh!</i>).<br /> <br />Honestly, they are the most worthless of opponents, they have zero substance and not a single argument for any of their positions, other than your willingness to feel embarrassed when they claim their 'ideas' are superior to yours.<br /> <br />For a demonstration, ask any of our anninymouses to explain and define their premises, and/or in any way to back up their arguments with a credible chain of reasoning... sit back and watch them run away while throwing insults over their shoulder.<br /><br />Insults, lies and equivocations.<br /><br />That's all they've got.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-78926080060820009832010-07-05T15:55:10.566-07:002010-07-05T15:55:10.566-07:00To Gagdad re:

But the liberal essentially removes this distinction by asking us to judge the soul of the criminal -- i.e., the "root causes" that really motivated him -- and to forget about the act. Various causes no doubt exist; in fact, so many, that no one could possibly discern and understand them all, much less understand how they interact. <br /><br />Which is why it is much more workable just to judge acts and not souls. When you start judging souls, it's easy enough to prove that all of us are innocent or guilty, depending on the judge.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.com
