ORIGINAL: Alumbrado quote:
Of course those definitions wouldn't fit into your argument, so you choose to use the definitions that claim that you are somehow feeling guilty about having those same beliefs. I choose to use the definitions that apply, instead of randomly Googling for out of context snippets as you've done time and again.... you seem intent on proving me correct about your stirring up needless debate for the fun of it. This is my last response to you on this topic... your own link on the definition of projection states.... quote:
pro·jec·tion–noun 1. a projecting or protruding part. 2. the state or fact of jutting out or protruding. 3. a causing to jut or protrude. 4. the act, process, or result of projecting. 5. Cartography. a systematic construction of lines drawn on a plane surface representative of and corresponding to the meridians and parallels of the curved surface of the earth or celestial sphere. 6. Photography. a. the act of reproducing on a surface, by optical means, a remote image on a film, slide, etc. b. an image so reproduced. 7. the act of visualizing and regarding an idea or the like as an objective reality. 8. something that is so visualized and regarded. 9. calculation of some future thing: They fell short of their projection for the rate of growth. 10. the act of communicating distinctly and forcefully to an audience. 11. Psychology. a. the tendency to ascribe to another person feelings, thoughts, or attitudes present in oneself, or to regard external reality as embodying such feelings, thoughts, etc., in some way. b. Psychoanalysis. such an ascription relieving the ego of a sense of guilt or other intolerable feeling. 12. the act of planning or scheming. 13. Alchemy. the casting of the powder of philosophers' stone upon metal in fusion, to transmute it into gold or silver. [Origin: 1470–80; < L prōjectiōn- (s. of prōjectiō) a throwing forward. See project, -ion ] —Related forms pro·jec·tion·al—Synonyms 1. jut, overhang, protrusion. 9. prediction. Keep up your humble postings, and decrying foul. As the rest of us are clearly not as intelligent as you are... because we are all in denial and skirting around discussion of "your facts". I didn't need any google snippets to define what I said, I stated what I meant with the use of the word, and you are the one that went hunting for a specific meaning to that word, then post a link to the supposed definition you used... uhm I can't find that your definition as quoted on that page... however as part of the definitions as it relates to psychology I did find this... quote:
Psychology a. The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or suppositions to others: "Even trained anthropologists have been guilty of unconscious projection—of clothing the subjects of their research in theories brought with them into the field" (Alex Shoumatoff). Bold emphasis mine. Have a great night,Thadius
