Heh, Gone Viral Yet?

[Jenne]

This is a testimonial of sorts...so it's not really a rant per se.  It probably sucks, so don't mind if it does too terribly much.
************************************************************************


One day, you're a perfectly "normal" citizen, a Joe Sixpack or a Jill Someoneorother...and you're sitting there, practically minding your own business.  Then you notice that you've been on this rather pervasive yet thought-provoking and confrontational forum for a bit, and you FINALLY get the in-jokes, can make a few yourself, yadda yadda.  You almost feel like you belong there, but don't really bother trying too hard for the most part.  It's actually good enough to just soak up the atmosphere and read up on what's going down.

THEN, oh my god, you're sitting on a bus with a pocketful of people you were at a conference with, on your way to the airport of all places, and they're bitching about their divorces, mortgages, the cost of gas.  Suddenly, out of nowhere, you hear yourself telling them that "the imposition of order equals the escalation of chaos," that there was this cat, in a box, but it was dead, but it wasn't...that equalizing order with disorder doesn't amount to a hill of beans...religion, yeah, that goes nowhere fast...the government, it doesn't exist...

Holy shit.  You've gone viral.

It's ok.  Take a breath.  Obviously, months and months of reading all that stuff has finally sunk in.  And what's more:  you've started to believe in it, apply it, and make it yours!  That's a good thing.

Know why?  Because otherwise, you're just wasting your time.  And telling those pocketful of people on the bus?  That's just natural.  Because when you "get it," and they DON'T, you feel the uh-oh welling up until you have to just say, "Well, you see, there's these two guys at a bar, and one of them is on a barstool..."

TGRR,
Wonders if that should be an emote.

[Jasper]

I'm basically convinced.

Jenne, my only suggestion is to take out the Schrodinger bit, because it doesn't mean what you think it means.

[hooplala]

Technically, what Jenne wrote doesn't refute anything in the Schrodinger's Cat hypotheses.  It just doesn't really explain it.

[Richter]

Congrat Jenne (I think.   ), and good testimonial!  Not only do they get the dawning horror that you're not quite as normal as them, you get the dawning horror that you're glimpsing how the herd works.

Pedantically, the cat isn't both alive and dead.  It is either alive or dead, we just can't predict which with our maths.

  Very nice Jenne. 

[Cramulus]

I have holograms of all of you in my head
and yeah, sometimes you won't shut up.
You fucks make me do stupid shit
and think about stupid shit
and it's not just when I'm at the keyboard

[LMNO]

Gobble Gobble, we accept you, one of us!

In the Everett-Wheeler theory the cat is most definitely both alive and dead, no?
