The thing with rolling a die to make every decision is that it doesn't really completely rid you of responsibility, you still decide what each roll represents, and how you are going to follow the die's instructions. Further, there is a limit to the options a die can give you (6 for a normal person, 20 for a D&D player).

However, the mindfuck concept is rather broad idea, it may be better just to build on it.

Also, I like what you said, GA, about memebombs being weaponised koans, I/we/they should use that sometime.

I don't really like e-prime, I think if anything, language needs to be less controlled.

However that aside, the featured article on Wikipedia today seems relevant and interesting:

I may have more to say when I finish reading it and have time to consider it.

I agree with Payne on this, it is system that works well.

I guess I think a good solution is just taking what people say as opinion, no matter how it is worded, no matter if they are saying it as opinion or not. I guess, remembering that people are fallible, so will get things wrong, put spin on things, consciously and subconsciously, etc. Sought of like taking the concept of e-prime further (however without reconstructing language), saying everybody has a different experience of things, and acknowledging that. An opinion, say Sarah Palin is an idiot, can be taken the same as stating a fact, Sarah Palin is running for Vice President, because this is seen as a fact because we agree on it, as we both have the same sources of information, and it is hard to take what we are told on that in a different way.

Of course this is kinda just asking to be hit over the head with a barstool.

That said, I like idiolects, they add to a persons personality, and any restriction on them could just end up turning people more into robots.

What is kecap manis?

It's a thick sweet soy sauce, tasty stuff.

Also that recipe sounds rather nice, Sepia

Why do teacher assign kids with almost no life experience books that only make sense after the Universe has kicked your teeth in a few times?

If it's string theory, I am laughing.

Like this --->   :lol: :kingmeh:

String Theory is just made by all those physicists who want to be guitar stars  :D

I doesn't the most people don't know what quantum mechanics is.

If your talking about why it is scientifically popular, well because something needs to be researched to keep physicists in jobs, and a lot of other stuff is already known. Plus it has potential to make money for people, that's the reason most things happen.

A lot of physics is just bullshit, but I do agree, Hawking is overrated as a physicist in the general community

Be careful what you wish for...

Actually the reason I didn't answer you before is I was busy doing interesting more important stuff (he says as he posts on PD.com)

Seriously I don't care, to me you are just slightly annoying, but interesting in a way. Whatever, I'm not in the mood to care
Aww... getting scared? Of a newbie like me?

Fine, hugs for Janvier

Anyway, if I was scared of anything it was failing physics,

I'm getting to trolling CoG as well, but not until you guys prove to me you can piss me off.

Could you?

I'm not the type, but some of the people on here definitely are, and probably could.
