Sorry guys...

[Card VII]

We seem to think along the same line. I understand your viewpoint in what could be. It is entirely possible that it could. That is why the Tech industry evolves so rapidly. They don't ask what is, they ask what can be. Not everything works, but such is the nature of prototypes. They are not perfected versions of what is. Myself, I always view my mind as a prototype. I do ask myself what can be, but for the sake of improvements that lead to what can be I don't let myself be bogged down by theories unless they are of viable use. However I do acknowledge they exist and can be viable with methods that are haven't been birthed yet. My ultimate goal in any line of thought is to perfect it, but I am not afraid to break a few parts in doing so. Parts are expendable, theory is not, because it leads to innovations. We cannot however forsake the means and hope for a good end. My end truly is understanding. My means dissecting systems both as individual parts and as a whole. Your scenarios and thoughts are interesting to me, because your abstract perspective is different from mine, which desires both abstract theory and practical application.

We need dreamers, but we also need a system for the dreamers to use. People are and have always been the problem. Many are flawed. Many don't seek improvement. This is why teams are important. Personally I find you refreshing. Our disconnect however seems to be terms. I do work under assumptions with you because I view you as an equal. Was this mistake? I do hope it was not.

I think the issue is terms. I'm saying something that you interpret differently, and I do the same with you, etc. You know what I mean.

I like to think that's not a mistake, but that's your decision. One person is many different things to many different people, all of which are him or her. If there's anything that I am never certain of it is whether or not I am as smart as I think I am, and exactly how smart I think I am, if very much at all, so don't ask me.

This thread makes me feel uncomfortable.

I question this as well, because much of time I am thinking many steps ahead of others. It is more out of frustration that self doubt is born. I want the answers, but know that if I give up because of self doubt I will not improve.

You are intelligent. I have no doubt about that. You reason on a level equal with me, which is waaaaaay above the average person. (As is evident by the word induced headache we gave them.) You shouldn't be so harsh on yourself if I might speak so plainly.

This thread makes me feel uncomfortable.

Didn't read anything but op. And this.

[Mr. Coltrane]

Why is that?

Oh no reason. I couldn't have possibly been mindraped while reading every post on this thread.

That's why I just said what I said and didn't read what everyone said, Coletrain.

I should start doing that.

This thread makes me feel uncomfortable.

Didn't read anything but op. And this.

Now I have the strong urge to follow in the ways of the TP.

I don't understand. How is it you could have been mindraped with just words?

It's another way of looking at the term 'skull fuck'.
