Do you see there being more to the 'stroll together' than the Proximity Principle?
Your question goes to show how narrow your vision is.
When it comes to asking another's perspective, rather than presume that we see things the same I generally find more success in asking for their take on something rather than flooding the topic with my own immediately.
You can spin it however you wish. When asked I'd say you're baiting me. ( Yet again )
I'm just explaining how this isn't pure honeypot.
From looking over our past discussions, I've seen that if I drop too much of my own opinion that you just shut down if not distract you over some nonsense. Rather than that, I'd prefer to get your version first so that it'll be that much easier to stay on topic. With how much you attempt to appeal to the 'common sense' narrative by being intentionally vague you're clearly trying to bait out presumptions from your audience rather than actually have a real discussion.
You just want me to elaborate on their strolling, then provoke me for whatever I have to say about it in detail.
Yes, I would love to have more details on your theories here. I've even presented 'The Proximity Principle' as a comparison, whether to confirm that you only meant that aspect of social psychology or if you might have been looking at it from a different angle entirely.
This proximity principle within itself is loaded. I'd say close proximity is obviously the case, but I never based what I wrote on that while passing it off such a principle "nothing more"
What do you mean by 'loaded', like full of shit?
What else do you figure's going on then, pheromones?
I'm literally asking for your take on it but you seem reluctant to part with it, as if you're worried it'd not be hard to pick apart or something. If tearing it down proves to be provocative then that'd just mean you elaborating further on your ideas right?
Yes I'm reluctant to part with what exactly ? I nearly forgot
Your take on what's going on other than The Proximity Principle, focus.
I don't expect intelligent conversation with you. It's already gotten ridiculous, this is Friedrich's thread, you should be asking him questions if you haven't an answer for him.
You're the one who's trying to not talk...
In this case I'm asking for things that are on topic, but you can't seem to focus.
I wrote what I wrote. It isn't complicated. Your perception about what I wrote may seem like magical thinking, but it isn't. It's just a reflection on what Friedrich wrote.
I didn't say anything about magical thinking at all, I've just been asking for elaboration.
Am I supposed to compare what I wrote to the Proximity Principle ? What is the divide exactly ? This Proximity Principle is in effect by default.
What do you figure The Proximity Principle is..?
In higher grades, students are expected to have a certain amount of knowledge TC. But with you I have to step away from progressive communications, and discuss what is that ? grade 2 maybe. Answering questions within questions within questions, going on for pages in walls of texts. I'm not always up for that.
When it comes to a comparison of perceptions both people need to have some canon of understanding between them. With you you have a habit of keeping things just vague enough for others to jump to conclusions, something I've seen stop working when you're otherwise asked to elaborate. This is something older users here used to have more patience with you over, questioning what you really meant as it'd turn into pages of you being defensively confused.
I'm asking for the meat of your points rather than just the garnish you'd use to have others think you know what you're talking about. Like a Math teacher I'm asking you to explain your work instead of just writing down the answers, like an English teacher I'm asking you to narrate what you mean instead of presuming your audience to understand what's in your head, and like a Science teacher I'm asking you to show your data, trials, experiments, etc.
If you're going to compare this to school, they're the ones that actually tend to push that people show more rather than less.
