Themes (Notes)

[LHX]

Condensed version of some forum discussions around these parts over the past while (LHX angle):

*****

1. Regardless of how well you can talk big and back it, you will eventually be humbled by something bigger.

2. If you want something done, do it yourself.

3. While doing something yourself, dont be surprised to see other people working toward the same end.

4. Regardless of how good you are at saving things and keeping a reserve, eventually you will be forced to use everything you got.
Everything

5. a) no, you didn't ask to be put in this situation
b) no, nobody listens to anybody crying victim

6. a) if your motivations are right, nobody can hold anything against you
b) be prepared to be screw up as you try to translate your motivations into action
c) be prepared not to be able to define what 'right' is
d) be prepared to misunderstand and be misunderstood

7. A firm foundation and lines of support are enough to counter all instances of envy, greed, lust and hate that expose themselves.

8. Martyrs are not respected.

9. People who allow themselves to be lulled and stimulated into submission are not respected.

10. If you broadcast a perspective to enough people, eventually you will find somebody to oppose it; also, eventually you will find somebody who opposes it and effectively substantiates the opposing point of view.

11. Maybe Logic suggests the barstool might not be there; Occam's Razor suggests that you should duck. Or at least study Kung Fu.



Possibly more to come.
Possibly this list can be refined even better.


lmao @ 'possibly'


IT CAN ALWAYS BE REFINED
maybe even reduced to a single letter

upon focusing on the letter THIS ENTIRE LIST WILL COME BACK like a blossoming flower (<--- poetic imagery)

[LMNO]

I am in love with point 11 right now.

[Idem]

That one stood out to me as well.

1-10: Yes.

11.   A perfect meme, upon understanding you reach enlightenment. Or something. Its our very own zen koan. "There is a barstool, and there isn't a barstool. Answer: Ducking is a good option."

[P3nT4gR4m]

In terms of quantum possibility the bar stool misses head, collides with head and passes through head spraying a red wave function on the wall behind head. The quantum reality where the barstool misses is rendered irrelevent by the second 2 possibilities which occur simultaneously and can just be distinguished from each other by someone who's recently ingested a strong psychotropic.

[B_M_W]

quantum physics doesn't work on the macro scale.

Didn't we have this conversation already?

Prolly best not take that into account when reading. Not so funny then.

1. Regardless of how well you can talk big and back it, you will eventually be humbled by something bigger.

heh heh heh ...

*****

1. You will be humbled.

2. Do everything yourself.

3. Others share your goals.

4. Life demands everything of you.

5. a) no, you didn't ask to be put in this situation
b) no, nobody listens to anybody crying victim

6. a) Nobody can hold anything against you
b) be prepared to screw up
c) be prepared to define what you think 'right' is
d) be prepared to misunderstand and be misunderstood

7. A firm foundation and communication with equals are usually enough to counter instances of foolishness.

8. Martyrs are not respected.

9. People who allow themselves or others to be lulled and stimulated into submission are in thier own submission.

10. If you broadcast a perspective to enough people, eventually you will find somebody to oppose it; also, they could be right.

11. Maybe Logic suggests the barstool might not be there; Occam's Razor suggests that you should duck. Or at least study Kung Fu.

12. IT CAN ALWAYS BE REFINED
maybe even reduced to a singularity.

"Fix", as they say.

[LHX]

thats fuckin dope man

thanks for popping this back up again

and the refinement was NICE


could you imagine that - a list of well-informed warnings instead of a list of rules?


lol
imagine what the 10 commandments would be like if they were the 10 warnings instead

the 10 pieces of advice

the 10 things that if you do it, you can expect some repercussions

people only play themself when they act a fool

[B_M_W]

It IS a good set of guidelines for living.

SBOTD, anyone?

[AFK]

I think it most definitely should be in it. 

[Triple Zero]

i think the refinements are fine, as bolded bullet points, but it would also be nice to have some elaborations next to them in smaller italic print.

[LHX]

elaborations are useful to people 'who werent there'

ive learned that lists can seem cold and unwelcoming
and too much elaboration can get sloppy


--a happy medium somewhere

[B_M_W]

Heh, how about a short essay on each of the numbers?
