Yes. Absolutely, I think it is.
Just like the very entertaining man Meerie posted video of. He says "don't try to change others".... Get it?
I do not know what you are trying to say.
It is quite obvious, and I think you see it too. If you want long explanations with big words, I simply did a quick google search to find an answer to your liking. This one is spot on:
"This maneuver represents a classic bait-and-switch scheme. After leading the reader to the precipice with “rational” insights, when it is time for the payoff, we are told that we have to abandon rationality to go beyond this point. As an individual who has found my own rational answers to the ultimate questions, I find this gambit to be somewhat disingenuous." http://rationalanswers.blogspot.com/2008...lling.html
A personal view, if you wish: I would need more information to the source of why that video was posted and what purpose brought him to the stage and the audience to their seats. I'm willing to bet that none of that derived from the idea that "i am-ness". In that way, (circle), he didn't much focus on "i am-ness" when he was agreeing and preparing to speak. There was a draw, there was a desire, there was an advertisement, there was a series of "ripples".
It was purported to be something other than simply being an am-ness.
