You know, I think thats what I like about you, you are a bigger jerk than I am, and thats really impressive.

ROFLMAO!! !

Good grief, someone says something that people disagree with and all they can do is make "crazy" jokes? Ugh. How would you like it if it were "autistic" jokes?

Anbuend has hand-flapped the correct. I definately wouldnt want any autistic jokes. (nods in agreement then find i cant stop)

I didn't mean autism jokes are bad. But it's different depending how they're used.

Like it's one thing for autistic people to sit around making puns about hand-flapping or another autism-related thing.

And it's another thing if an autistic person posted an opinion about something, and someone else came along and said "Oh you're such a ret*d for saying that... DURRRRRHHHHHHH," and then making that hand-flapping motion that looks very autistic but people use to mean "ret*d", and saying "Did you get on the SHORT BUS to go to school today? The one for SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW SPESHUUUL people?" (And hand-flapping some more.) "Oh, you're one of those IDIOT savants, aren't you?"

Because the first one is all in fun, and the second is more reminiscent of school bullies. The second being the kind of thing I see in this thread. The person they're targeting clearly doesn't want it, but they're doing the "It's all in fun" defense, and I don't believe it, if it's not fun for the person targeted then it's not "all in fun" anymore.

Fair enough. I dont really think TeelaClarke has any mental health issues and presumed the thread was a wind-up but as i dont know this and as there have been a few members to tease then your right it is a bit bullying to jump in and make fun of her.

Mentally healthy people don't think up things like "infomorphic beings" who reside in a supernatural neitherworld of the internet casing judgment on people. The extremely odd creativity, the paranoia, and the supernatural elements strongly suggest that she has had some kind of break with reality.

I'm sure you could find half a dozen people who feel I have had a "break with reality" Majority rules, and the status quo, this is what passes for reality these days.

I for one think the notion that mankind "invented" the internet represents the true break with reality. A global network of information exchange seems in most cases the inevitible outcome of natural selection.

The physical medium of the internet may very well be wires and electricity, but the information that is traversing this network this is something I think mankind has only begun to fathom.

Cisco Certified Network Engineers fathom it for a living.

I think I'd better follow your example in this, lest I hurt some feelings.

LMAO!! !! !!THIS IS SOOOO FUNNY!! !! !! !!

Indeed, it is. It's gotta be the funniest post I've ever seen on here. Maybe even the funniest post I've ever seen on any forum.

It kind of reminds me of this one kid on a video game forum I knew. He thought that the Zelda characters were real and they lived on another planet.

Allright, maybe I am playing devil's advocate a bit, and maybe Teela was just joking.

My point is only this... nothing breeds ignorance as much as the belief that nothing can be learned from trying out a new perspective. It is easy to say, well I understand how the internet "works" and this other notion is all nonsense. This is what scientific materialism does in regard to religion.

Are infomorphic beings any more difficult to accept than seven headed serpents and the like?
I say TC is a prophet!

True knowledge consists in knowing that you know nothing.

Glad you're enjoying this.

Spacemonkey, there is nothing to be learnede from TC's perspective. At the moment, I am taking a break from reading a chapter on TCP/IP for my tech school. If you want to know how the internet works, go read up on TCP/IP.

I hope you mean that in the sense that they are both fiction. It sometimes seems like I binge on fiction in various forms, consuming it by the truckload so to speak; thats probably not healthy, but I am always able to recognize it for just that: fiction. When you lose the dividing line between fiction and reality you are a step farther down the road to insanity.


The things you see on the Internet are transmitted to your computer by electronic impulses, which your computer reads as ones and zeros, which a program then translates into a viewable webpage or other sort of file. There are no infomorphic beings involved.




One of the rules of science is that any law or theory can possibly be disproven by further evidence, that it is all just a framework toward understanding and nothing is set in stone. But thats a far cry from dreaming up some crazy invisible boogeyman and saying "well theres nothing to prove it isn't really there!"
