What do you consider a human connection?
Love, companionship, family, for instance.
a "human connection" is not a connection.
So, here you say that they are human connections. You didn't say that human connections aren't really connections, or that I have assumed wrongly that a metaphor is literal.
Only after I confronted you with an earlier comment creating a paradox for you you moved the goalposts yet again and now you are saying this,
No you are wrong, as I explicitly stated human connections exist.Two people, in love, in a relationship, exist. Is that not a human connection to you?
a "human connection" is not a connection.
A human connection is not a connection in any sense.
Relationships are not connections.
A “human connection” is a relationship, not a connection.
You've assumed a "human connection" is a connection. It isn't.
I'll repeat—a "human connection" is not a connection.

It may sound cliché but it is the truth. Love is the answer to all of our troubles today.
He asked me a question: "What did you do for your fellow man?" www.youtube.com...
Jesus asked: "Have you learned to love?" www.youtube.com...
"It was ALL about the love..." www.youtube.com...
"Have you ever loved the way youve been loved here?" www.youtube.com...
"The message I brought back from my nde, or near death experience, was to love myself and others unconditionally." www.youtube.com...
Tom Severson said, He saw himself standing before God’s judgment throne and he could see Jesus looking at him as if to say, “How much love did I pour out on You? How much of it flowed out of you to others.” That experience has changed Tom Severson for the better he said. He has dedicated his life to serving others. To being more open in his love and expressive. It’s not easy sometime to give up the persona you kept a lid on for all your years, but when realize that God has lavished His love on you for so long, you have to let it flow out to others.

Because human connections are not connections, does not mean human connections do not exist. Do you get it?
Because koala bears are not bears does not mean koala bears do not exist. Because head cheese is not a cheese does not mean head cheese does not exist. Because a jellyfish is not a fish does not mean jellyfish do not exists.
What a waste of time.
If you say human connections are not connections, then how can you say that they do exist. If you say that human connections do exist, then how can you say that they are not connections?
If you say koala bears are not bears, then how can you say that they do exist
If you say that koala bears do exist, how can you say they are not bears?
We're just blurting out whatever comes first to our minds without much thinking at this point. Isn't that so?
Because it is a given that these animals that are known to us by that name, exist.
Because it is a fact of nature that they are not.
These were easy to answer. You couldn't answer mine and had to come up with a comparison that doesn't apply.
So what you say now, is that what people refer to as "human connections" are not really connections. So what then are "human connections" really, according to you, if they are not connections?
If we are arguing about semantics, it is because you keep using the term "human connections" without qoutation [sic] marks.
Speak for yourself.
A “human connection” is a relationship, not a connection.
Relationships are not connections.
1. The condition or fact of being related; connection or association. 2. Connection by blood or marriage; kinship. 3. A particular type of connection existing between people related to or having dealings with each other: has a close relationship with his siblings. 4. A romantic or sexual involvement.
“Because it is a fact of nature that they are not (connections). “
I’ve already answered this question a while back, in case you’ve keeping track.
See, we can't even say that semantics is causing the problem. No matter how you spin this, what you say makes no sense at all.
