I agree completely. That the most fundamental of this particular OS install into the new and improved John Carl Avatar. "I agree completely."
It could be irritating and get old really fast, especially if meant sarcastically or ironically or trying to get all "one over" on y'all. That'd be just plain rude. So I think a little explanation should clear things up. First of all. The necessity of the rebuild. The old personality just wasn't working out all that well. I mean, my wife loves me and my kids think I'm a god. So I have no basic complaints but really, on any sort of social scale I'm way below the bottom. Even low-life white-trash scum have friends on a saturday night, have an idea how they fit into their world and have mommas that love 'em mostly. And I felt bad, with my communications on this list, somehow. It was all critical, negative and fighting. And I felt bad in retrospect about my response to Mary. It's not really my fault that my system goes into a freeze/glitch whenever I encounter the "L" word. Its just a bug. But a bug that oughta be fixed, dammit. So I rebooted. And I think I like this new version. It's making sense to me. The truth is, I do agree completely. Everybody has their little slice of the truth, and for them it's all there is and all they've got. To counter it or disagree with their reality is just plain rude. I wouldn't want it done to me, why am I always doing it to other people? And cackling away it all the while! What an asshole I've been. So... John Carl 2.0a at your service. Now... as to what I mean by "the moronIst rebuild" is sorta a *reductio advert boozium* kinda deal - Like Pirsig using the absense of Quality to prove it's existence. One of those logical thinga-ma-bobs. Only more inspired by alcohol than intellectual excellence. I will completely assume, for this personality, that the mOronist position is the absolute bedrock of truth, the metaphysical foundation of the world is meaninglessness. Krimel is my teacher. When I make mistakes, (as it's easy to do when you're running an un-de-bugged install) he can correct me and extract whatever meaning or value I inadvertently snuck in there. And if he's busy, maybe y'all who are familiar enough with his cosmological position can step in and sub. Anyway, if the world makes more sense to me running this adaptation, then I oughta adopt it. Honestly and legit. Right now the controlling me is a little skeptical, but I'm willing to give it a run and see how it does. Now. The main differeneces of this new OS, seems to me to be the strong affirmative propertys. No more negativity! I'm not gonna disagree with anybody ever again, except maybe my wife. And Platt. Probably Ham. But that's it. No more disagreement at all, ever. Disagreement accomplishes nothing that you want it to, and lots of things you don't want it to. What good is it? Toss it out. mOroniSts are pragmatic with the hand they are dealt. Since nothing really matters, we oughta accumulate the most brownie points we can while we are here. Now, intellectual honesty must be maintained. I cannot agree with falsity or lies. But every person states truth as they see it, from their perspective. And I can agree with them that they do in fact see things in that way that they do. So there is truth in every one and there is room for agreement every where. The big issue of course is whether this is a good thing or not. And that's why I've had to specify the MorOnisT build here, because it really doesn't make any difference what is really true, in the end. All that matters is one's social popularity, pragmatically manipulated. And people love to be affirmed. That's the one constant pull of existence is having one's metaphysical and egoistical platform validated. It seems a simple enough service to provide. Why have I been denying it all these years? If it doesn't work out, then maybe I'll try the personality without the MoRonisT add-on. Although it'd be hard to figure some things out, It'd be fun to try. Other features of this personality are its advancement in the area of Loyalty. My recent conversations with Ham led me to realize that my personality had room for improvement and I should consider the possibilities beyond existentialism. I became convinced from my roycean readings that I needed Loyalty as a major component of my personality. And sometime ago, I'd declared a prediliction for "the low road". Over and against "the high road". And yet, even though I declared for the low, I was messin' around with the high and mighty! Getting all involved in intellectual speculations way outta my league and way over my head. No more. The 2.0a version of John Carl is going to stick to his road, be loyal to his path, and not interfere nor hinder the progress of those on the higher paths. And I said then what I say now, it might be a different way, but we have the same goal. I'm rootin' you fellas on. Go academic acceptance of Robert M. Pirsig! Yay team! Wish I could be of some assistance, but obviously I can't. I'm a low-roader from way back and I've got my old man's stubborness in me when it comes to running my own ship. He'd always say "there's my way or the highway". I didn't like the highway then and I don't like it now. I'm sticking with the way that is "my'. Just like you all. And doing a damn fine job too. each and every one. love, love, love JC2.0va Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
