To Glen or so it seems, I have the distinct awkward feeling that, while I write, there is no compelling evidence of my existence, only my utterings. Perhaps my hollow ringing echoes are sufficient to serve as my fake evidence, should I choose to perjure myself in a court. Is there such a beast as the Inverted Solipsist ( everyone else is real but not himself)?
Does anyone recall washroom graffiti of the 60's and 70's sometimes eloquent sometimes rather vulgar and blunt. Without a time line one could imagine a dialogue, at times, with penmanship the only distinguishing feature to support the fantasy. At the next gas station, 100 miles further West, the conversation would resume, based only upon the very recognizable penmanship. The trans-Canada highway can be very long. Does the conversation take on a different tone when traveling , in reverse , West to East. All completely arbitrary. So it seems are any and all emotional insights. At a 4-way intersection without lights the first arrival becomes next to leave. But if none of the drivers can remember their arrival sequence there is calamity ahead. Perhaps if a numbering system is used following a thread title, the Real sequence can be re-assembled. That Implies that each quote also contains the number assignment. Glen quoted Marcus but only gave a date Wed Jan 28... not the thread. I have not received the e-mail from Marcus containing that snippet. But I have found another Marcus Wed 28 in [Friam][External]Forum hacked... I suppose Marcus was stoked up that day and jumped from one thread to another, well done, what a nimble fox. I only wish that I could still be so quick on my feet. I do wonder if this thread is soon to be discarded... I serves my imagination to believe without evidence at times, at other times I do rely on evidence, lingering in my memory, to get through the four way intersection without a bump. Without memory what can anyone use to decide which case is truer than the other. Is truth an event or is it a sequence of truthful events? Self contained. vib -----Original Message----- From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of glen Sent: January-28-15 4:33 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: Re: [FRIAM] [ SPAM ] RE: clinical diagnosis of [a]theism?

I bet there's at least some demand for a tool that would do that. Perhaps a combination of an e-mail client plugin, web page monitor, subject/body parser, that would dynamically assemble threads from otherwise disorganized content. Come to think of it, that's kinda what we tried to do for a client a few years back, except we were dicing up corporate annual reports looking for threads in those. > But returning to the thread, I don't believe in making up for such > deficiencies. ;-) Hm, I suppose that makes you a gnostic deficiencist ... I'd be more of an agnostic adeficiencist ... can't really _know_ deficiencies exist, but tend to disbelieve in them anyway. I'm a bit of a Taoist... all of what is, is sufficient, it's just up to us to find our path in it. -- ⇔ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
