Experiment with different techniques. There’s a method there that you can get a handle on.

Control of your attention. Because it is the axis of reality.

you see dicks everywhere?

Yeah but it isn’t the key central focus of the deal anymore then. It’s just a convenient accessory.

We can still observe and discuss methods for making observations.

Yes. Hypotheses. Ideas.

But the point of the scientific method is to get us high-quality ideas. How would that cure the derangement of an idea-centered perspective?.

Maybe if you removed the model-making part. Leave the primacy of observation and the utility of peer-review. Maybe.

There is also the assumption of the central importance of ideas, which is a rather deranged perspective when you think about it.

Don’t get me wrong, ideas have high utility, for memory and language and such, but still.

An idea is just a little thing, and any association between it and the rest of reality is purely contrived.

Like you’re in a slasher but pretend you’re in a hallmark.

No, it’s “please give me your candy” (with the implied threat). Vs “give me your candy or I’ll smash”.

(Also, I reworded the post because you people are so literal and easily distracted.)

Replace death with any heavy executive-issued penalty. The point here is the polite-implicit vs the impolite-explicit. (Ok i reworded it)

You should say, “please reword to be an open ended question or I’m destroying your post”. Don’t make merely implicit threats. It’s spineless and our respect for you diminishes.

Lose the “please” too. It’s meaningless.

Most of us don’t know that you are the moderator or that your polite requests are actually demands backed by executive threat. Best to make it clear.

But are you willing to fake it? That’s what we’re asking. Are you willing to put your whole soul into faking it.

Everybody fakes it down here.

Firsthand experience is beyond words and super deep.

Convert to words. Consume words. Map words to your own experience.

It’s basically anime at that point.

Every time I eat a mcD cheeseburger I get a tummy ache. That shit is concrete.

Do you think it’s a conscious plan to mindcontrol everybody or is it just a basement dweller treating his mod powers like the ultimate downvote?

But you uttered an opinion about moderation. So address my point.
