    Oh yeah? Well, I've written your mom off as not worth understanding.

    For that matter, so do you Smuel. When I posted I was referencing Grakelin's comment on your brief, obscure post. It didn't make sense to me so, meh.

    Oh. Well in that case I offer your mom all the tender understanding she deserves.

    No, I am absolutely Perfect... NOT!
    Of course I am fallible. And if there is a pedestal, I have placed everyone on it next to me. I firmly believe that a closeness to God is a call to servitude.

    Translation; I was in a rush and wrote something that made me sound pretentious, so now I'll say something that implies I meant to sound pretentious. Also, the interpretation of a common language is subjective.

    If everyone misunderstands you while you and everyone reading speak the same language, you said something wrong. If it's impossible for you to use terms that everyone understands to make a coherent thought, you said something wrong.
    You can't just say "Oh, it'll happen because not everyone interprets words the same way." You can't be caught in incongruencies regarding the same damn issue every single time and chalk it up to people misunderstanding you. If you want people to understand you, you'll need to make some sense.
    While not everyone here comes from the same background, it's fairly easy to have one person get at least a few people to understand a point being made. I've perused a popular white nationalist forum, and even those people will accept a person of a different race if they offer sound reasoning and little to no racial bias. Sure, that last bit about racial bias is hypocritical, but there are more than just a few civil discussions between white supremacists and various other people.
    In fact, perhaps on any given forum, if you rationally present your views and word them understandably, you'll find a few people agreeing with you.
    Using word-salad to make a point and then saying no one gets it is silly. This isn't Da Da poetry, and your wood allegory can easily be construed as "Lesser people worry about inherent differences, but I don't, because I Am."

    Someone just fucking ban him. It's not funny anymore, it's not endearing, it's not coherent, it's not worth it.

    The problem is, nobody knows who, exactly, you are referring to.

    And here we go again. Xyle is probably turning the introvert contra extrovert thread into religion again.

    Xyle: What do you want to proof any way? That you have the truth at hand or something?

    Speaking about Mr. Nobodie. Where is he? Is he...even..still alive? I miss him and his dirty jokes and stuff.

    Now that would be very embarrassing if you put your hand up.

    He sees you when you're sleeping,
    He knows when you're awake.

    ...???
    Mr. Nobodie has the Santa avatar. So many wires are crossed right now.
    I'm satisfied that this thread remained on the rails for (at worst) an entire page. It's difficult to tell where this thread went off-topic because rather than completely jumping the rails as threads so often do here, this train gradually strayed from the subject to relevant tangents.

    In order for Xyle to steer this thread, somebody has to take the bait...
    There it was, twitching on the hook and nobody took it.

    There you have it. That's how to recognize the bait. Armed with this knowledge, it's up to you to not chomp down on it.

    He should've said "Truth...soul is penis" or "...penis is chaos" or

    Since when did philosophical questions about reality become religion?

    Did I say that *everyone* misunderstands me? No, I said (or meant to say) that I expect to encounter misunderstandings because...

    No, I expect to encounter misunderstandings because I know what I mean to say so when I read the words that I wrote, and the meaning of what I intend to say sometimes surplants the meaning of the words that I reading. The counter to this is to wait three days (in order to forget) and then proofread. Do you really what to hear replies three to nine days (due to multiple drafts) after you post your posts?

    My apologies, but I must have rushed that allegory more that I thought I did because that isn't even close to what I meant. -- {I created a rewrite, but it is proabably just as bad, and I doubt that anybody wants to read it, even if it wasn't.}

    If *I* equals of the essence of I then *I* means the ability to seperate me from not me. Therefore, the only way for *I* to be an illusion is for there to be no seperation. However, because I, Xyle, can perceive that I exist, *I* cannot be an illusion because the ability to seperate me from not me creates the *I* necessary to seperate me from not me.

    Does this communicate the differences in our positions in an understandable mannter?

    And the question of illusion is still bullshit because we still choose to satisfy :wink: ...our hungers.

    What if I am just a small fish on Smuel's hook drawing all the bigger fish to it?

    So far it seems the discussion has centered more around personality psychology than religion, but I wouldn't say that Arthogon was completely off base for fearing the worst. We're one misstep away from a religious spiral.
