Quotedon't sweat it some of the best posters here have gotten of to a  rough start if you are smart you can make it work for you..

I knew I was in for a rocky start, but I needed to know where I was.  There's a lot you can't get from reading archives.

I'm an underemployed 20-something ex-philosophy student.  If I wasn't on a mission, I wouldn't be a stereotype.

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Also its amusing to note all my parts were the ones which were well recieved, yet I mostly hate them and wanted to edit them out and replace them with something interesting.

Also, posts like this make me think perhaps we should write a history of the BIP, and stick it somewhere prominent and obvious, so people know what is going on.

Well, much to my surprise, I found the critique readable and possessing some decent arguments, even if I still don't necessarily agree.

My biggest critique of the critique is that it's not very timely, but you knew that already. My second critique of the critique is :asshat:.

that one got a laugh from me..

Oh fucking thank you.  The place was starting to scare me.

The one thing you can be pretty certain of around here is that people are laughing.  The question is one of with or at.

if you have read the archives and you act like a really real discordian, and tell us how we are doing it wrong already knowing the the kind of response that gets, it smells of sociological experiments, and having read the archives i am sure you know how much we love those...

you have walked out on some thin ice, scared is a wise response to danger. don't sweat it some of the best posters here have gotten of to a  rough start if you are smart you can make it work for you..

We'll see about THAT.

Countercritisisms:

1) This is actually my favorite part of the BIP.  For years i heard and accepted that *other* people were fucked up monkeys who can't see reality as it is.  This piece here is what finally forced me to accepted that *all* people are that way, including me.

I also don't really see it as the same as Plato's cave.  The metaphors are similar, but the point is entirely different.  Plato was talking people seeing shadows, imitations, of these fancy ideal forms, to him a chair is really a shadow of some mystic ideal chair.  In the BIP that chair is a shadow of what people think a chair is, that the platonic forms exist solely inside our head.

Also: I point out that Cain and I are also underemployed 20 something ex philosophy students.

Cain was a foreign relations student.  Not quite the same thing.

Also, you two didn't take any "special time" to sneer at everyone else on the site before stating your case.
