manipulation definition |Dictionary.com
See definition 3.
Any kind of handling is 'manipulation' under this definition. We manipulate our kitchen utencils and our automobile in the similar fashion.
LOL! OMG! I MAY AS WELL POST IN ALL CAPS AND END EVERY SENTENCE WITH EXCLAMATION MARKS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO NOTICE! I KNOW BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT READING MY POSTS!
Dude... I know what manipulation means. Do you know what math involves? Obviously not. You've fooled yourself. An INTP ought to be willing to alter his course once he's been shown evidence contrary of his findings.
But I suppose I was right in the first place... you haven't been reading my posts, ergo you
missed the evidence.
Next time, do what I do. Check the definitions of your own shit and make sure you didn't fuck up,
and check your opponents sources.
Stop quoting definitions to me. I assure you, I'm thoroughly versed in vocabulary.
It's NOT manipulation. You're manipulating squiggles on a page,
not values or quantities.
Jennifer said it right -- "a rose by any other name..."
We call it something different, doesn't mean that it
is different. You said it yourself in all those Feelers-are-idiots threads you preened yourself with.
The point was that traditional Judeo-Christian theism regards God as separate from the universe. Because we know that this universe is infinite, it follows that it is impossible to be separate from the universe.
There are theologies which regard God as the universe itself. However, such a definition of God is incompatible with the Judeo-Christian theology which is the subject of our present scrutiny.
It is not possible for the universe to be created as outlined above. Obviously there was a time when our minds have managed to successfully translate the infinite realm into the finite, because the universe our minds were dealing with is infinite, God could not have been responsible for such an occurence.
I agree that the Judeo-Christian god has to fit an impossible bill, but I don't say so because he couldn't have created the universe. In fact, he could have, if he always existed rather than the universe always having been so.
You don't know that the universe is infinite, because you can't know the universe is infinite, because you can't know that an everpresent God didn't build it himself. Perhaps God exists only in the dimension of Time, and got bored with just the one, and later created spatial ones, and filled it with stuff what we call the universe today.
If the universe doesn't have to be created, then God doesn't have to be created.
If you could just get past your ridiculous, insipid, self-importance and recognize that the world is not created by your perceptions, and therefore does not bend to the whim as you want to see it. You are awarded the illusion of consciousness by the myriad of synaptic events manifest in intellectualizing, which can fail, given the poor reliability of those synapses. You really need to give yourself a once over. Not soul-searching, I'm suggesting you learn just a hint about neurophysics.
I say this with utmost sincerity, because you appear not to be joking, and have instead gone off the deep end with these self important and subsequently narrow and simultaneously unsubstantiated proofs.
Put simply, get over yourself. You're only smarter than
most people. Not the whole universe.
Additionally, you routinely show such staunch failure to cooperate in exposing yourself to the ins and outs of a system that whatever internal consistency -- I know how much you love that -- you've developed, which you've unwittingly deluded yourself into believing stands parallel to the truth, and have attempted to circumvent the truth of universe with, will continue to put you at the risk of being blindsided with falsehood and utter failure to efficiently communicate.
As a matter of fact, I'd bet that the social resistance you deliberately bring upon yourself is what pushed you to conjure the notion that you could outsmart the cosmos, but unfortunately for you and your books, you will die, they will burn, and it will be the cosmos who did it to you both, unmoved by your efforts to understand its wrath.
