The Unfortunate Effect of the Negative Stereotype [ed. title]

Or, perhaps, lekatt’s definition of “love”, is not the same as your’s, or mine.

This isn’t a knock at you, more at lekatt’s idea that “love is the answer to everything”. What he calls “love”, is not what I think of love.

Well, if someone is going to use a very different meaning for a common word, they should take the trouble to define their special definition. You can’t have a productive discussion when people start coming up with weird private definitions of words and don’t even say so.

I mean, if I say “Guinastasia is a cannibal”, I’d better explain right away that “Oh, by that I mean that since she eats organic matter, and we are all organic matter, she’s a cannibal like all the rest of us.” It would still be silly, but at least comprehensible. As opposed to using a private definition of cannibal, and not explaining myself for pages and pages; which is the equivalent of what lekatt is doing if he’s using a private definition of love.

Well, this is lekatt we’re talking about. He seems to speak in very generic terms, mostly about NDEs, and how love is all we need, but I don’t see him actually showing it, if you know what I’m saying.

I think it seems more like he’s here to “spread the truth”, or whatever. He’s very hard to read.

(I hope I’m not skirting too close to Pit territory)

No. But you have no need to get any closer.
