"Small talk" sometimes serves as a "lead-in" to more substantive talk
It might even serve the purpose of alcohol when it is consumed at parties which involve lots of music and society. |

| It's really quite simple: No one can think, within a personal-contact context, like we think in PPR discussions. We have time to write, and to reflect upon what we have written. It should be noted that people don't SPEAK all those philosophical treatises within personal conversations: they WRITE the... |

I've been known to give unsolicited advice which was not welcome at first--but was welcome later.
Sometimes, the unsolicited advice is never welcome.
These days, I try to assess the situation before I offer my advice. I succeed sometimes in "doing the right thing." |

| I believe the Neanderthals' facial features were an adaptation to the glacial environment in which they thrived. In actuality, I hardly ever find much difference in the faces of autistic people and that of NT's. If there is a difference, it's probably not just autism. Quite possibly, it's something ... |

| I think this "state of affairs" is because politicians, these days, know that they must appeal to the "common man." In the old days, politicians had to seem like they were "superior" to their constituency; otherwise, they would have little credibility. This is not true ... |

I can be sarcastic at times. I get sarcasm better than I used to get it.
I tend to answer questions which were meant to be rhetorical, though. |

Sometimes, we must "put on a front." Otherwise, we'll probably get fired, our ass kicked, etc.
That's part and parcel of being a human animal. |
