To go back to Ustwo's question to you ART regarding whether you believe you have a cat, and you stating that, no, you don't believe it so, you only act as if you have a cat until it strikes you as nonsensical to act otherwise. This is a fascinating point of view, yet I am struggling to understand it. Is the point here to take emotion out of the thought process entirely? To proceed based soley on an intellectual basis? Some other basis? If I have this correct, how do you (in any capacity) reconcile the inherent emotional nature of man with an outlook of pure logic?
When you say you don't 'believe' in anything, I understand this to mean not that you don't place value on anything, but that your values aren't based on emotion. Are you refuting the existence of emotion in your thought processes entirely?
To proceed more constructively, this understanding might make things clearer to all involved.
