Given the difficulties of true communication between two humans, to what extent can you really know another person?
J . 's Answer
Only the Biblical type of "know" as in carnal knowledge. And even that is, as we see with divorce statistics, worthless. Only identical twins can claim true communication that is more than that of old married couples finishing each others' sentences. Is there some reason why these questions are so philosophical? Do you want an answer more suited to epistemology? Or to neuroscience? If so, inquire within but have your checkbook out because I don't think for free.
Think you have wisdom or insight, sign in or join to answer the question too.

We tend to see what we want to see in others, which ultimately leads to disappointment when reality manifests itself differently then our expectations. The only way we can really know someone else is through what actions they have done. In truth, this does not tell you actually who they are but who they were. If it was a one-time action, then it's possible that said person may not return to their former self. However, if said person has proven over and over again that they are capable of doing certain actions, then you can at least know another person to the extent of reliability in those past actions.
Looking For: Find someone with a common goal and try to unite our strengths as one.

People judge, even when they say they don't. That word judge makes it sound negative. It's logical, there's first impressions, and impressions made in follow up meetings. So at what point do you know them, can you ever really know them? I think you can know a person enough to the point where you can create a range of expected behaviors, and that person will rarely act outside the range in your head. The more often your idea of that person matches up with reality, the more you will feel like you know them.
Looking For: To meet programmer(s) interested in my startup and network in general
