For one, because if he wasn't a ****ing moron he'd still be alive, which is the ultimate influence of his truths. Whether he existed to have any more.

No way you can affect how Trump or anyone for that matter feel or what he/she believes in.

Sure you can.

You're confusing the stubbornness of belief with objectivity, and you're wrong. People can and do change their beliefs all the time, often with the help of people who know better, and when I say better, I mean like how not to die when jumping out of a plane.

Your entire belief system is seemingly based on language, for example.

There is nothing real in the world. All we people see is produced by our senses.

This is rhetorical nonsense.

As again, established by traffic lights, communication satellites and air traffic control, what is "real" is shared perception - that your and my senses both produce things we can commonly interpret without any coordinated effort on our part. Whatever you personally want to call it, this is what others describe as "real."

You denying the existence of this shared perception simply by refuting the word we use to describe it is pointless.

Both of our senses are telling us who will start at PG for the Knicks tomorrow night and both our senses are telling us he has highlights in his hair. That is both OUR truth and facts.

So what do YOU call it?

I don't think you can call it anything.

I think that would endanger this lie you're telling yourself.

It is up to me how to react and it is not possible to change what people are.

I don't doubt this is how you explain it to yourself and therefore it is your truth.

Your actions, however, speak otherwise.

You are clearly an advocate of a certain viewpoint, a viewpoint in which advocacy is contradictory.

Human mind cannot exist without a viewpoint. It is all it is.
And contradiction is the being of the mind.
The truth is in Self which is what we are as a part of The whole Creation.
Mind is juts temporary shell for The Self.

You're selling now. You're a frequent salesperson.

What you're trying to sell is that no one should try to sell.

Do not afraid to be more specific.

I don't believe I have ever been accused of that.

We are not discussing the facts but rather believes. Believes cannot be overturned by facts. This is the nature of believes.

No, it isn't. It is the nature of some people's believes. People who are at a disadvantage in life. What you describe is a bad thing. Not a good thing.

I believe that if we will put in check our small Mind and big Ego we can find The great Self we all are longing for.

No, you don't. Your posts are consistently ALL about your ego.

You clearly believe you have some sort of insight into the nature of existence that others don't and you want them to benefit from what you know and they don't.

That is ego, by definition.

You practice the polar opposite of what you preach. You don't respect and accept MY truth or others. You try to influence and persuade it.

Which btw, I find nothing wrong with, its just ironic you present yourself as completely unaware of your own action and intentions.

Sorry if I offended you in any way.
I am just curious in you experience in trying to present facts to believers on any faith, religious or political, or moral made them change their faith because of undeniable facts you presented. I am sure non of then changed their believes even a bit. Because believes are not based on facts. This is not good or bad. This is the nature of believes. Is sky or forest good or bad? They just exist. So do believes.

I'm not offended in any way, nor is my intentions to offend you. I'm just being straightforward as to my thoughts and giving you the respect that you're able to handle it.

I'm not trying to debate with you the existence of belief and how it often can have no relation to fact. No argument.

You're just seemingly denying there is a difference.

Belief is the notion the world is flat. Fact is putting a satellite in orbit using the math and physics accounting for a round earth and afterwards being able to track its exact location and have it perform its function for decades.

There is belief, and there are facts.

They are not the same.

That some people ignorantly think there is no distinction is irrelevant. Those people are objectively mistaken, which is again, why we can have Netflix, electricity, traffic lights and life-saving medicine. Because the people who are able to distinguish facts from belief save the 'believers' from themselves, even while they are resented for it.

I never said that facts and believes are the same thing. Contrary I stated that they are not.
Facts established in the past based on experience. Believes exist now based on feeling of the moment and may became facts or may not.
Many people tend to act on feelings and believes of the moment not the facts of the past. I don't know if it is good or bad but this is my experience.

I am not trying to convince anyone that I have any special insight into the nature of existence.

Either someone(s) here or yourself, or you're consistently posting without reason or purpose.

What is the reason or purpose of the conversation outside of the conversation itself.
I am just enjoin the fact of conversation as it is regardless of any result of it.
What practical result of the posting can be anyways?

I have my own experience which makes me happy and well. I want to share it in hope it will help others if they need it.

You make it clear you think you're correct, not just happen to know of an alternative.

I'm perfectly happy and well. Why would it occur to you that I'm not and need something to make me so? Because you don't believe I can be happy unless I acknowledge your truth?

I states that you or anyone can look into other people experiences and practices if they feel they are interested or have a need to.
But I never said they should. One can come to the supermarket with a lot of staff available but he may need or wont nothing of it.
So he buys nothing.

But without this simple acceptance in my opinion there is no way for sustained happiness.

Exactly, you don't believe someone's truth can be lead to their own happiness if its not your truth.

You're arguing there ONLY one correct path, which is another way to describe what our shared language defines as a truth or a fact.

This is your ego causing you to describe your interpretation of fact and how others who don't accept or comprehend this fact are doomed.

Your "belief" is objectively self-contradictory.

And that's the great things about facts. It doesn't matter if you don't happen to see it to be a fact.

So you think that is one will found something or someone to blame for the problems and misfortunes in his life this will make this individual happy... Probably yes, until next problem will arise... Is this sustainable?
I am not denying the facts, and it is obvious that they are useful to avoid mistakes of the past, collect knowledge, and happy memories.
I am just not equating facts to truth. Because truth is a feeling about facts and so it is different fir every person and even every present moment can bring different truth for the same person.
Again - this is just my opinion (or believe as you stated) and I am not trying you or anyone else to share them.
Contrary I like that everyone have different believes and different truth. This makes the World colorful and beautiful place to be.

Yeah, no.

You did.

"But without this simple acceptance in my opinion there is no way for sustained happiness."

You made it clear you have enough insight into the truths of others that you know they can't be happy unless they accept what you have.

That's judging and objectifying truths you've never experienced and telling people what their truths should be if they want sustained happiness, which in this case you're also objectifying as a universal standard.

So you think that is one will found something or someone to blame for the problems and misfortunes in his life this will make this individual happy... Probably yes, until next problem will arise... Is this sustainable?

And again, this is you criticizing someone else's perception/truth for not being the correct truth to lead to an objective goal.

Which is you being a hypocrite.

I am just not equating facts to truth. Because truth is a feeling about facts and so it is different fir every person and even every present moment can bring different truth for the same person.

You've made up your own definition of truth and are attempting to argue it has any relevance to anything.
