Heh, to my knowledge I made up the term. What I intended was that
choosing the numeric base system can be arbitrary, but the optimized
part means you could choose a particular base that fits an application
well, like hexadecimal to ease reading of binary data, octal in
industrial, hexagesimal in minutes, etc. So 10 could be many different
numbers depending on the numeric base system used. So your base system
of distance could be in consumption of resources, 20 miles equals a few
meals sustainable vs nutrition depletion and increasing need to seek
resources over traveling, or a certain number of car-lengths to stop on
a wet surface at 60mph. or 10 could be the one hundredth number in a
system base valued as .1(decimal). 255(dec) = 1111 1111(bin) = FF(hex) =
377(oct). A cool way to experiment is using the scientific calculator
included in windows (calc.exe).
To reinterpret: There are many types of people, some of whom understand
scale and measure, some who use it without understanding it, and the
unfortunate rest. Another way of saying it in terms seen on this list is
that the concepts we use to contain ideas or systems are mostly
arbitrary, but sometimes useful. I'm not wired right, as apparent by my
hobbies ~!~

Iam, I think you are not reading closely enough. PSK spoke of
"the decision to not live". Have you ever pondered upon a
world that lies inscripted beyond its binary 0/1 coding?
I have. It is called Tron.

Funny, was it a good flick?
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand
[optimized base encoding] and those who don't. >:)

Pol. I think that is only an illusion. What happens if
death is not as it is often presented but rather are
resurrection it a totally different life determined by
how you responded to this life. and there are some
natural laws that apply whether you admit to them or not.
and everyone is accountable. Also when you commit suicide
you deprive the world of your gifts. Like all concepts
there are exceptions and those are dealt with on a case
by case basis. As a whole I would not count on being the
exemption.

When a man is under depression he tries to escape
pain by committing suicide , but does he really
escape pain? No he increases it hundredfold. The
pain and sorrow that his family and friends feel
at his demise is actually a pain that is
experienced by that individual. Escapism is no
remedy , the only way is to struggle and bear
through all hardships. To fight throughout is the
only way and as death will eventually come, why
prepone it.
