I suppose where this really does apply is in team with the left.

I drew this guy last year when I was exasperated to the hilt and sometimes free exercises like those make one realize what one is really thinking and two things here: 1) enthusiasm and 2) “was perpetrator NOT victim of Sokal hoax”

I feel it is significantly misunderestimating left wing intelligence once you mine deeper and in the same characteristically brutish and thick headed way ascribing new meanings in ways intended to sabotage their least diseased original meanings in favor of something forced by circumstances which keep trying to rob one of one’s individual self by displacing it using meaningless analogies.

I cannot afford to be entirely laconic. But I myself consider people on the left - whom I do trust- not easy to communicate with fast.

I have been knocked out! This is total sabotage. But it is okay. It was not intended but the real “eugenics” of this society is on some level how people like me who do not consider factory farming or ventilation shutdown (burning animals alive to cull them. And approved by a lot of so-called veterinarians) insignificant barometers of a society’s overall sociopathy…

I have just been figuring out what I communicate with what or who I follow and why. I really liked this disparate collection of links.

He seems reasonable: I forget who I was thinking of.

I am afraid I am a no on cosy mysteries as a connoisseur of little old ladies (I am generally more popular with moms than their sons..I get along with moms and I can assure you the nicest ones would not be sleuths online etc.
They would feel distaste and go “ha ha” and stay away.
As for..

If you do blur the net and reality then I am not ceding reality though I was happy to cede the net so..no interaction is my rule re most of everything.

People just ruin the value of things. It struck me about the jewel heist. This desperation to get low end value out of things ruins their real value.

This can be online now I guess. Because the net did exist prior to reality breaking for me. But its role and the proportions were way off and that was a good world. This is a totally inferior world.
Btw Prof Hennessy, as antagonists who can hopefully respect each other, “You are an awful person! I am glad it is apparently not deliberate.”

I was relieved to see Prof Hennessy. I reserve the right to give up and so on. But not to corrupt and disgrace everything. I am glad you seem like someone who will not insist on a comprehensive list of all the things and situations that corrupt and disgrace everything!

How is it not clear to everyone who is not Mile Judge how Prof Hennessy forces a civility in situations where I would not think
Is this what a golfer would consider the sort of handicap I would need to take on this old geezer as an antagonist safely after he has retired and worn down one’s standards till “Not a creep or precisely a sleazebag just far likelier to significantly screw over the left, while disgracefully hoping to pass for too nerdy to grasp what his managerial style forces but if I had to take a guess, Evgenia Kovda is cool.

Retains meaning throughout at all levels.

Kayfabe is a disease. But I am a scientist who will not be outwitted by Prof Hennessy. That is lame. Come on. He is a decent man I am almost sure, or this would truly be depressing.

Such science or art as there is in this is I do seriously want to reflect on why Prof Hennessy apparently secretly must hate us all. Surely that is a stunted imagination more than he wants one to be allowed to think. Hah..
