It makes a lot of sense actually.

You misunderstand. I offered that what "means a lot to you" is a matter of taste.

Fighting racism with more racism.

The world is much larger than your struggle against evil.

Jesus christ. When you piss does it come out like a corkscrew?

You can't describe any sensation. Not sight, sound, smell, feeling. None of that. All you can do is refer to a shared sensation.

"You smell that?"

On the flipside, the harder you squeeze the underclass the harder they work. (And they are kept in a state of safe distraction too)

So there's a balance.

Thanks. Maybe a bit cryptic. Maybe add a couple dots to indicate stuff is being added and removed?

And is there any way to underline the fact that it's MY bowl that's being taken from and added to? Is it necessary? I dunno. Mulling required.

Underlining my point for the tragically obtuse.

The troll offers bullshit.

Science defeats bullshit by requiring a strong reference to observation etc.

In polite, sane company this is a non-issue.

But in public conversation, ya, it's an issue. Trolls happen. In fact I would call trolls the greatest enemy of sane public conversation.

An AI with a billion samples to draw from might deliver the collective unconsciousness visual you're looking for.

Thank you very much for the recommendation. Always looking.

 

Language works when we think the same, connecting the words to the same meanings and such. But that never actually happens 100%. It might be closer to 80%. (or if it's a strange subject, 15%)

So this "conversation" that we're having here is, to some degree, not actually happening.

But we pretend that it is.

So how much are we pretending? How much of the conversation is hallucinatory conversation?

 

What art is formulaic? What art is just the old stuff rehashed? What art is shallow or simplistic?
