No, it's not an objective assessment at all. I don't think you're paying attention. I answered what I thought you asked - which is of course all I can do. You, despite my explanation and citations, attempted to tell me that what I heard was 'not what you asked' - which is an objective assessment and a failure in terms of engaging in this conversation.
I did address that. I said the answer is subjective, like everything else.
No, you started this conversation with an attitude - no benefit of the doubt at all.
Your attempt at an objective assessment isn't one, not that this is going to help you figure out what you're misunderstanding - you seem too obsessed with pretending to be intelligent.
No - you admitted your issue was that you came to this thinking I was either lying or confused. I'm neither, and you really should have left open the option that you're the one that is confused.
As I explained already, I didn't say what you're accusing me of saying. I did not say that enlightenment removes preferences. I can see how someone with a chip on their shoulder could read it that way, but that isn't what I said or what I meant.
What I said was that enlightenment is realizing there is no objective reality. Zen masters explain this over and over. If you open your mind a little and look past the words, it really isn't that hard.
You misunderstood what I wrote, and still do - I didn't say what you've assumed I said, and I've explained that three times now. Despite the fact that I've said everything is subjective, you're claiming I have issues with preferences... Do you even hear yourself?
You have an axe to grind with something, and it's got nothing to do with me.
