There’s a narrowness, a deludedness, that tends to come with experthood. I prefer the wideness

Well I stated that I think the opposite clearly enough.

I appreciate the depth but ya. Wideness

Good bye

A medieval religious zealot’s style of argumentation is characterized by his appeal to dogma.

You argue like a medieval religious zealot. And that seems to be completely normal.

You’ve changed…

I was offering a completely different point, to rhynoplaz there.

One is the product of firsthand observation and careful reasoning, the other is a story told by authority.

Surely you appreciate the difference.

Thus we enter the miserable slog. No thanks.

Ok fine.

The first guy is smart. The second guy is dumb.

Your non-understanding is either intentional or unintentional. Both look like a miserable slog to me.

Wow good point.

Lol? Seriously?

Maybe you should Google it.

A flat earther who did the math. Set up the experiment and measured the tangential angles of light rays or whatever. Worries about the hundred ways he may have fucked up his calculations.

A round earther who googled it. Knows with certainty. Knows what all smart people know to be obviously true.

Well you see my point.

Also, focus is a powerful and funny thing. You could hide an elephant in the room if you are focused on the tv. It’s a kind of useful insanity

The first useful thing we invented was the pointed stick.

Second was string.

Third the towel.

The towel hits a sweet spot. It’s got development history. It’s got archetypal grounding. It’s the Zeus of inventions.

Maybe you could squeegee yourself on the funky floor tiles

Is upvoting this bad juju?

The next president will promise to fix everything that Trump broke. I’m sure of it.

I think of giant monsters. Kaiju.

A normal ant is no problem. An ant the size of a skyscraper is a problem.

Money is the size here. A human with a billion dollars is a giant monster kaiju.

It ain’t the species it’s the size.

I figure a dream is a complexity of ideas, maybe with a bit of hallucination attached. (Do senses follow your thoughts like that?)

A story is a kind of dream. A meaning is a kind of dream too. And a name. We can get at it via examples.

A dream is a thing treated as if it is another thing?
