You think you're perfect. You are not. No one is. I am not saying you are a racist. You are a human with human biases.

What you've just told me is that you have no interest in discovering and changing yourself to help make a difference. Not to be on any sort of moral high-ground, but I have a really tough time with people that have no desire to learn and improve.

What I'm going to ignore is your assertion that philosophy is not relevant to daily life. That is the stupidest claim in this thread, and it is at the very core of your (subconscious) bigotry. If you can't see that, then there is no next step.

I mean it kinda makes sense, someone who doesn't think that the process of thought is useful not thinking they could make any kind of error.

Yep. It's hard to point that out when my reasoning gets sucked into a circular black hole.

I'm done responding. People that can be helped can read this thread in the future and maybe realize something about themselves.

You think you’re perfect.

You know nothing about me or how far from the truth this is. You are miles closer to perfection than I will ever be.

What you’ve just told me is that you have no interest in discovering and changing yourself to help make a difference.

This is a lie.

I have a really tough time with people that have no desire to learn and improve.

I have a really tough time with liars who make assumptions about me and put words in my mouth, so I guess we are both having a really tough time.

What I’m going to ignore is your assertion that philosophy is not relevant to daily life.

And more lies.

But thank you for proving my point about you wanting to treat people like shit so well.

Also, I like how you say both "I am not saying you are a racist" and "your (subconscious) bigotry" as if those aren't total contradictions.

And more lies.

If that's not what you were saying, then what were you saying?

Also, I like how you say both “I am not saying you are a racist” and “your (subconscious) bigotry” as if those aren’t total contradictions.

They are not. Subconscious bigotry or bias doesn't necessarily make one a bigot, as contradictory as that may sound. Whether they like to admit or not, everyone reacts differently to people who are noticeably different from them. There is no way to entirely avoid this, only to realize when it happens and not act according to it. Or in other words: "I don't care if you're racist! EVERYONE'S racist!"

I was saying that it is not relevant outside of a philosophical discussion. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand. I never said philosophical discussions had no relevance.

Also, while you're asking questions, maybe you should ask the person I'm talking to who I am supposedly bigoted against.
