FWD: Testing

[Captain Utopia]

The mindfuck is that after you've read this, you will be wondering if you also had been able to do it before you read about it

You're looking too hard for something which isn't there.

If the whole universe of mindfucks were mapped out in increasing levels of sophistication, such that there's a myriad of simplistic MFs like "Be good or Santa won't come this year" near the bottom and more interesting MFs like "Horrible Truth" placed somewhere above that, then it was always my contention that what I ineptly presented would be near the bottom.

What I find most interesting is an examination whether those forwards are created by someone with full consciousness of what they are doing, or whether they just evolve that way. E.g. earlier versions didn't contain the reference to the surgeon - did a less successful version of the chain letter exist shortly before dying because it mentioned that it came from "my astrologer"?

Understanding all of this is key to potentially using the medium to communicate an intentional message. But if that is boring-as-shit to you, and you want to wrassle some more, then I'm game for that too.

I keep waiting for something funny and I'm being disappointed here.

According to Google Image this is "something funny":



But I honestly don't see it.

I'll keep asking that question till I get an answer. If you stop responding to this thread, I will too. Otherwise, you're complaining at yourself.

What was the question again?  I keep getting lost in all your abstract symbolism known as "the english language".

Ahh, that actually explains a lot. Thanks.

You're just figuring that out now???

I came here for enlightenment, and I've already found some of what I'm looking for.

I know I'm dumb, repeating it only makes me dumber.

Enlightenment is not found here. At best we're just gonna throw rocks at your sacred cows until you either enlighten yourself or go away. Generally, we prefer the former, but aren't opposed to the latter.

It would be awesome if you'd throw rocks at my sacred cows. I am actively trying to rid myself of as many delusions as possible. It would seem more accurate to say that it's mostly ad hominems though.

Currently, it appears to me that one of your sacred cows might be the belief that agreeing, adopting, and adapting other people's ideas into your own worldview is a bad thing.

Additionally, admitting you're wrong about something.
