What do you people think I am all about?
Any decent person i met doesn’t seem to think badly of me.
However the internet people tend to be different in their assumative process.
At the drop of a hat a sane old man becomes a barely functional retard.
That assumption popping up without much basis or backing.
They can’t see you, hear you, note body posture, breathing.
You are words on a screen.
Mirror neurons not involved.
You are ideas. You are as real as the latest Tom Cruise character.
You are a bystander in Grand Theft Auto.
Religious naive utopian idealist and a lover of skunks.
if I dont use it i will loose it.
so i bet my chips on some kind of idealism because it’s oh-so appealing to think about a positive existence.
You are right, however.
It’s possible to read people though, even if they only type.
Mirror Neurons can activate from memory recall, and memories can be associated against any form of knowledge.
I think your a Old, Fartfilled Canadian, who tried unconvincingly to mix some sort of homemade phenomenology with magic (I was surprused your upset with Phonetic Ethics) who only shops for food in a gas station, and is a barely present moderator. You also think your not a hippie, despite being a Old Canadian Fartbag interested in hippie things exclusively. Most people I would call out on for this contradiction, but learned long ago no point doing it to people from Alberta, as they don’t seem to get it.
There is a Anarchist named McDonald in Alberta, he would be near 30, if you see him, shopping for food at your gas station, let him know I said hi.
Turd, I think you are joking.
You’re alright Dan despite me hating all of your views and everything you stand for philosophically.
I am sure as an individual you’re alright where we could get a drink and socialize at a bar or something.
yes. a bar or a restaurant.
we should go to either Chinese or Mexican grills.
Even though guys migrate out of those countries into Canada,
their country can’t be that bad. I mean, if it was evil machette weilding
gangs, they wouldn’t all have the patience to sit around milking cows,
brewing cheese, and making a taco with cheese on it.
Cheese comes from the higher races. Farming replacing hunter gathering and cannibalism.
A Chinese buffet with Peking Duck and all you can eat shrimp.
Would also need pork dumplings, wanton soup, and plum or rice wine.
No… I wasn’t joking, that is how I actually view you, but you can add Racist to that Cheese-Higher Races statement. Doesn’t even make sense, even the Japs were recognized as a higher race by Hitler, and they barf at the sight of cheese… it’s solidified rotten milk to them.
Lactose Intolerance shouldn’t be the defining trait of racial superiority, if your even going to bother having a theory of race. It is very, very, very stupid. It also gives the pass on a lot of cheese eating idiots. If we are going to set a race bar of superiority… which I think is retarded in and of itself, do we really gotta put the bar on only those groups who like to nibble on cheese squares, and those who don’t, or even can’t? Cant we like, choose something better? Intelligence, strength, agility, capacity to invent, sporting ability, philosophical capacity? Why does it have to be who is most capable of going to town on some Smoked Gouda, gobbling that shit all up?
I vote Dan completely out of having say in any Eugenics program ever. His criteria of what constitures superior clearly sucks. If you had a “Traits of the Master-Race” on Family Feud, and you blurted out “Cheese Eating”, Steve Harvey would probably die of a stroke on the floor, thunderstruck. I promise you, it will not be on the board.
Do you try to keep minorities at bay by hurling cheese squares out of a pouch on you? “GET back Blackie, or your going to get cheesed!”.
Its just overall stupid.
Good thread Dan… I will comment later
Yes, but one has much less to go on. Much less is triggering the ‘I am dealing with another creature with an internal life and what I do might cause unpleasant experiences for that other.’ So whatever you trigger becomes fine to say, whereas in person they might check into their assumtions and projections before outburst.
Hard to argue that latter clause. Humans may well be able to associate some memory with every kind of knowledge. Like memores of the day mom fell down when pregnant with a sibling could be associated with the topology of knots. But the fact is dear old Turd that wireless media have been shown to reduce empathy. Not just during an interaction, but even to developmentally reduce the ability to feel empathy for other people WHEN IN THEIR PRESENCE. The more a kid uses cellphones and the internet, the greater the reduction of his/her empathetic abilities. He or she will actually not be as good at guessing from photos or in person what another person’s main emotion is at that time. Sure one can read Dan’s words and associate this with people or persons and have sympathy or feel that one is dealing with a human. But the degree of this will go down compared to face to face interactions, and over time all interactions will suffer.
No, very easy. Name a form of knowledge we don’t process via some sort of memory access. Even seeing us learned, anew born just doesn’t “see”… a lot if associative knowing has to be learned. If someone gave Maia her sight for the first time, I seriously doubt she would “see it” at first, it might just register as a headache. Not the slightest clue in the beginning. Maybe some reflexes, like psych-out pinches (near misses), but I suspect you would have to wack a person a few times, let thrm sleep on it, come back… then they will get the idea… that sensation is a fist moving at me.
Its all knowledge base, memory access.
My view on the matter is that people are too quick to jump on another’s bandwagon, so one hates… they all hate, one complains… they all complain, one cries troll… they all start crying troll.
I’ve been hounded, but I’m not going to name any names, and when this happens you just remind me of animals Blurry etc.
Sometimes myth and modern collide.
Like a vampire or werewolf, some people have dormant genes that rarely activate,
producing a super human subject. Turd has the clown gene, and is a wereclown.
He thinks he is not a clown, but this is all part of the condition.
It’s not reversible, it has no cure. He shits in a cream pie then throws it
from the window at a passer by, a stranger.
He thinks shit eating is at times a religious custom.
When he looks in the mirror the mirror cracks.
He broke out of a secret government lab many years ago,
when they attempted to synthesize a super human clown soldier, from his blood,
it turned out to be more difficult than expected.
The joker, on the other hand, just fell into a vat of chemicals.
He got up, left, and gained super human strength. But, he’s a human wearing
clown images, whereas you are a clown wearing human images.
It takes Turd 30 minutes a day to put on the human makeup and not look like a clown.
There are many kinds of man-clowns.
One, the red kind, which eat raw meat and kill people for fun.
The yellow kind, spends a lot of time in the kitchen making crazy person’s food and cloths.
Then there are black clowns, which insist upon clown rights and dispise cheese.

Amusing question.
Now, you ask a person this question, if that person has a grievance towards you, he or she won’t answer with any affirmatives, it will be purely an opportunity to ‘shoot you down’ and if you are susceptible or rely on a person’s good opinion of you, well then you are now in deep shit. No? People have all sorts of secret agendas, perhaps you are not one of these, but nevertheless, this may be just that chance to get back at you, with a question such as the one above, especially if you care about what people think of you.
A interesting example to note, with the responses to Dan from Hahaha and Turd.

Then you read Dan’s opinion of both Hahaha and Turd.
Which one will get the more favourable response from Dan.
He would have to be a masochist to favour the abuser and Dan is not as proven by his response.
Honesty sometimes is a greatly overrated virtue and in some cases restraint may be the wiser path to take for some.
Add vindictive, harsh, and meanhearted to my appraisal of Dan.
Because of the clown comment?
I’m not meanhearted.
