I have been looking for it, but I find the search function for this site to be atrocious.
He inserted himself into one of mine and maritsa's arguments, i believe it was an attempt to defend her. It was one where I was trying to get her to see that just because she believes something, that doesn't make it real, true, nor accurate. I had also asked her something like what would lead her to believe that something was real, and she had said her confidence. Somewhere during this time was when Jim jumped in and begain arguing with me not that confidence led to belief, but that confidence determined reality. I tried one or two times to give him an out from that, but he kept pushing it. I then had to leave the conver because there was obvious philosophical differences, possibly linked to him and Maritsa believing in something like "The Secret" while I see The Secret has just a way of altering one's perceptions. I even mentioned in the argument something about The Secret.
Within a day or so of this conver ending, Jim had made a post somewhere else, maybe a thread, I'm not sure. Where he talked about something like not grasping the meaning of something he reads, but going by assuming what the person was going to say....(this certainly isn't exact...I dont remember his specific words. I only remember it because I wasn't sure if he had reviewed the argument or maybe it was referring to something else.)
I'm not invested enough in this thread to spend more time looking for the conver when I can't seem to use the search function for finding past convers. Perhaps he remembers where it was, or at least the time frame for the thread/post he'd made afterwards. That would at least help narrow it down.
Oh, and it's also the only conver I've had with him...that I can recall, as in I don't remember he and I posting to each other before that.
If you decide to try looking for it yourself:
It's probably the only posting/quoting of each other that he and I did.
Keywords would include confidence, determines, accuracy, reality/real, (maybe "truth"), The Secret
It's part of one of my (many) arguments with maritsa
Very soon after, he made a thread, or post, about not reading (or understanding) something someone else writes, (possibly due to) prior assumptions. (the general meaning, not the exact words) As mentioned, if you find this thread/post, that would help narrow down the search time frame.
Oh, I believe that it had happened this year, but my memory for time could use some serious improvements!!
