You are an extremely isolated person who is deeply defensive at heart.  Your humorous image is a mask for your deeply rooted thoughts about the world.  You have a kind nature, and are always helping people who you think are on the wrong path, but sometimes you let your shit get in the way of asking them the right questions.

Wow I'm not sure how much of that I agree with but that's what I wrote.

You know, I think I probably tore myself a new one there.

Projection only really applies if you believe in the self.  Otherwise its just squiggles and noises.

What type of projection are you speaking of here?

Yeah good question I know nothing about it.  I more or less mean the idea that sometimes we judge people as a reflection of ourselves.

Like thinking a dog is in a good mood when you're in a good mood, or thinking a cat is worried or sad when you are.

In some degree, I think it depends largely on what sort of empirical content the judgements hold, based on specific events.  If you have that, then you have something other than your self.  It might work in degrees though, so the more or less empirical content you have compared to refectory content will affect how your perceptions are.

But then again, do we ever perceive something other than ourself?

Without something else, it seems we would have nothing.  But what is "we"?

What is "ourself"?

The quotes on that word are meant to mean that I'm talking about the concept, not the object.

"WTF's the difference between the concept and the object? "

"ourselves"

The concept is the idea of self.  The object is all the bodies that the idea of self can refer to.

Ask him what he means by "idea" instead.  Repeat ad nauseam whenever a synonym for "concept" is given.

By ideas i mean a feeling.  By a feeling I mean that qualitative state which needs no words that occurs with the stimulation of our senses.

Can you define "mean" as you're using it?  I'm honestly curious; the meaning of "meaning" is a bitch.

How can you ask me what I mean by meaning?

But to answer, I would say meaning is also a feeling.

Very easily; I just did.

Edit: so when I ask you what a word means you won't respond with a verbal definition but instead will silently experience a feeling?
