Part of the idea with not banning people is from the fact that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between genius and insanity. They overlap, or one appears as the other and they mix together sometimes. Or insanity arises from the social destruction of genius. There are some people on this list that say the same things over and over. So? Possibly they just need to be inspired to say something different and demeaning them doesn’t do the job. I could say every day in different permutations that 0=0 but then when the day comes that I finally realize that 0=∞ or nothing equals everything then it all starts making sense. Making that leap turns your world upside down thus right-siding you up. BTW I really am exploring that world of 0=∞ J The relationship between big and small. Something has to tie it all together, you know, the micro-universe and the macro-universe. Even if it is just a situational world-modeling self-adjustment. Approximations can be discrete. And we build on those approximations using them as “patterns” for other approximations even if those approximations are inappropriate. The mind does that. Attempting to mimic and re-apply correlational patterns that exist in the logical physical universe from an approximational standpoint. There is a man in the moon so I talk to him sometimes… and he answers, in a different voice. People say it’s irrational… but am I acting thus or are they exhibiting a misperception of audaciousness, from a viewpoint of restricted intellectual liberty.
