That's what she said?

It needs more explanation of the actions you can take "starting now," though that might be what the Discordian quotes will be for.

Yeah, basically. In all reality I continued typing another paragraph but it didn't get anywhere, so I baleeted it.

Also, that seal is awesome. Where did you get it?

There.

I guess my main criticism is that if you mean "institutionalized learning" then you should specify, because everyone starts learning from the moment they are born, and you can't really do anything about that.

Exactly. When you start learning is when your reality tunnel is born.

Seeing as I am still in my early noob phase, I dunno how this'll be recieved.
Totally free for you to steal and make better and print/use if you want.

SUBJECT: The Virus


   I'll try to be forthright.
   You're dead. It's not something you caused, but it is something you let happen. But it's okay. It's not your fault. Look at everyone around you. They're probably dead (or, if lucky, just dying) too. It's something that, to some degree, happens to everyone.
   I'm dead?, you ask. But I feel fine. Well, I don't blame you. That's how the virus works. Yes, I said it. It is the virus that has killed you. A virus? you say. Well, it must be benign. It's not like everyone looks diseased.
        In fact, the virus is quite harmful. The very reason everyone doesn't look diseased is because the virus makes it seem that way to you. The virus infects every person on Earth. It keeps an eye on you once you're born, but can't get in until that oh so special day... The day you start learning.
   When you start learning, you have officially been compressed by your parents (or guardians) into their reality tunnel. Pretty soon you mold your own, but it is only made of what you can glean off theirs. Finally the virus can get to you. The reality tunnel you have made is a direct passage for the virus to travel right into your brain.
        Then you start school, and the virus feeds, and feeds, and feeds. It has rooted itself in your brain even more. All it will do for most of your life is feed, and get stronger and stronger. Right now it is there inside you, waiting for more information to enter so it can devour every bit. As your eyes see this, it is the virus that reads it and interprets it, and decides what to do with it. Your cognitive process, memory, and even movements are controlled by the virus. Everything you hear people say, see people do, even smell, feel, and taste, pass through the virus for inspection before being let through into your brain. It has always been this way, and will continue till the day you die, unless you take action. Starting now.

                                         I hope you know what to do.
                                         Good luck.

                                                     

I'm not sure where this discussion has gone and I'm not reading 5 pages, but I really do like the black swan posted on the first page.
Or are we past that?

Sorry if this was obvious, but Disorder was almost certainly using a translator to another language and then back to English for his posts. It gets on my nerves when people do this to either sound foreign, or just to be "different".




I guess I don't really have a point. But Disorder, if you are indeed doing this, STOP.

I missed it, but I am joining and attacking immediately.

I have printed several of it and plan to put them up, around school most probably.

They're all great, but the Fresh Prince one made me LOL.

Gallagher's a comedian who was/is most famous for the part of his act where he smashed watermelons with a big mallet.

Now it's the Internet Robot Future and the whole world has its digital ear pressed to your gibbering mouth.

Oh, and jetpacks.

Er, he's not anti-gay rights. I saw a video of an interview with him about gays, prostitution, and drugs, and he said they were A-OK.

THANK YOU #3.

So, Spinoza's saying the following:
If I feel joy, then that makes me a better (more perfect) person than I was before. Or if I feel sorry about something, I'm a less perfect person.
If I feel sorry for a homeless person, then I hate them.
If I think I'll feel sorry for someone when I see them, then I fear seeing them.
Wtf?
Frankly, bah, humbug.
