I think I'm starting to see the fnords and, to be honest am finding it a fairly disturbing experience...just came along without warning today......anyone out there have any advice or been there in recent memory?
Very strange....innocuous stories on certain webpages mean more than they say they do...eerk! :?
it's a phase. as you will continue to get better at Thinking for Yourself (schmuck), they will also disappear again.
That's just Alberto Gonzalez fucking with you.
I think i must've missed some cultural experiment somewhere along the line, or curve, or sine wave...or thing or something
Edit...I meant expression rather than experiment but left it in for potential Fruedian purposes
If you recall, the fnords are there to create a base state of anxiety in the population, making them more compliant and consumeristic.
Most of us here now consider them to be funny.
A brief example:

Oh I couldn't agree more now that I've thought about it; just comes as a surprise once you start noticing things differently!
I think maybe the funniness comes from being unable to believe how gullible we used to be perhaps?

I think you are being overly optimistic.
Indeed. If there's one thing these forums have taught me, it's that we monkeys are a skittish bunch.

no, the funniness comes first, straight and pure 100% mittens and win, fresh from the Chaos.
everything else is caused by the funny.
fucking funny :argh!:

We are still gullible little hairless apes.
You aren't ACTUALLY any different now, and believing you are just proves how little has actually changed.
Or something like that.
ah fair enough; I didn't mean that we had IMPROVED in any way (I haven't at least) more of a slight change of mind than anything else....
I'm sure I'm still gullible, just a bit less than i was lol
"the first step in escaping being a puppet is seeing the strings. Cutting the strings though is hard when you're a puppet and doing so only makes you go all floppy anyway. Best bet is get the puppeteer and garotte him with 'em!"
As you get more familiar with this board, you'll notice that we try to restrain our so-called "enlightenment" with the obvious fact that we're still nothing more than a gang of shit-throwing monkeys. That's sort of what Payne and RWHN were getting at.
ahhh I see now, Ok and point taken mate, no worries
we are indeed these monkeys with partial alopetia of course and do like to think we're clever don't we?
we lost the hair, yes but did we lose the habits?
Not really; but some of us try, sometimes.

Something like that.
Except we definitely didn't lose "the habits". We are monkeys (except for TGRR), and we like to throw fecal matter.
now I get it, i think
Thanks for that fellas :)

Is that sarchasm?
Moar puns will only cause a Rift.
But they are deeply entrenched.
This is starting to read like VALIS.

No ther aren't; you obviously don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.
Wow, those are some deep puns.
Also, I think there is at least some difference between the average hairless monkey that runs solely on robotic programming... and the hairless monkey that can occasionally rewrite some of the code.
But, that's just my opinion.
I can dig it.
I have nothing to contribute, but I like this thread.
i just discipline monkeys but I can see where this is going ;)
we like to think we are unique and apart but we aren't, we just think we're clever because we've told ourselves we are but I ask you, who's better off? A monkey in a nice warm zoo who never has to worry about that much (except the ugly kids saying hurtful things about him) or we 'superior' apes who do everything possible to make life harder for ourselves??

the answer is we superior apes.
There are no superior apes. You get apes, hairless apes, and apes who are climbing towards "heaven". You occasionally get superior mutants, but they are much less common than you'd believe, thank God.

Now monkeys that live in a zoo,
might seem like a fine life for you.
For they're always fed,
and have a nice bed,
and a concrete floor covered in poo.
But those that live totally free,
do seem like a bad choice to me.
though freedom feels regal,
the Philippine Eagle,
can snatch them right out of a tree.
The best option that I could find,
takes both of the former entwined.
Make your home in the dock,
but keep a key to the lock
then sneak out to have a good time!
