> My answer would be that you there is a narrow range of behavior you feel safe with, and that you find anything unusual to be threatening Alright, well you didn't give a good answer. Unfortunately, if you cannot figure out as for why someone who spent a decade in social isolation, might perhaps not be the best person to talk about normal social interactions (given that isolation is literally directly related to the question of social interactions and experience), then I can't help you. > if I can guess why you think the person is insane You can read my previous post/question. Do you understand how you have dishonestly just rephrased my question, in a way that I did not ask?

There’s nothing dishonest about my phrasing. I asked you why you thought the person was insane. You asked me if I could figure it out some reasons. The only person who thinks the person is insane is you, so we are talking about your reasons.

  Do you understand how it is hard to take anything you say in good faith, when you were not able to figure out that a person who spent 10 years in social isolation, may not have a normal social experience, and therefore might not be the best person to get opinions about social topics, if we are looking for the opinion from a person who has a normal social experience?

    That’s not something I’m trying to figure out. I’m just asking why you think they are insane. Why not answer?

      > That’s not something I’m trying to figure out. Do you agree that this is the case though? That someone who has spent a decade in isolation, is probably not the best person to get an opinion on, regarding normal social interations, of normal people?

        Why not say why you think they are insane? Also - how do you define ‘normal’? What does it mean to you? What do you think a normal social interaction is?

        So, you agree then, that a person who spent a decade in isolation is probably not the best person to get opinions on regarding social interactions regarding the average person? Use your own definitions, for these words, if you are confused about the definitions of words. This premise is directly related to my answer here. So there is no possible way that I will be able to describe anything to you, regarding this topic, if you are unable to agree to this other statement.

        > So, you agree then, that a person who spent a decade in isolation is probably not the best person to get opinions on regarding social interactions regarding the average person? Nothing I’ve said indicates agreement with you. It’s odd that you keep saying ‘so you agree’. > Use your own definitions, for these words… How will using my own definitions tell me what you mean? > So there is no possible way that I will be able to describe anything to you, regarding this topic, if you are unable to agree to this other statement. No, people can understand one another without needing to agree. I can agree that you think this and that it is part of your argument, but that has nothing to do with me deciding it is true. The reason you aren’t being understood is that you are are not explaining what your terms mean and why you are using them. It has nothing to do with whether I agree with you or not.
