//a small amount// of what? Self esteem? |
|
|
Of money, I have updated the text. Thanks. |
|
|
Some people think money is no substitute for self esteem. I like to blow by them in my Ferrari and then bribe the police to give them the ticket. |
|
|
Surely this is baked then, since I understand that insurance agents will basically take your money for any and every insurance possibility. |
|
|
I thought the idea of setting aside self-esteem would be more original. |
|

There could also be an existentialist element to this, in that some people might feel better about accidentally discovering something, considering it a gift or a blessing from a god, or the fairies, or the universe, or something. For such people, individual credit would be a down-grading of their experience. "Well done you are so clever" <looks disappointed> You mean it was only me that thought it up? That's a crushing blow, I was really excited to think that the supernatural powers of Og-Hob-Fag had chosed to channel their ideas through me. Now you're saying that they ignored me and that this idea was just mine all along. I wish I had insured myself against the disappointment of finding out that it was only my own work after all. |

Don't know 'bout no Og-Hob-Fag but something like 90% of my ideas and or discoveries have been channelled from... something other than my own conscious thoughts and I give total credit for these things to my subconscious mind, and I believe that it is the willingness to give credit where it is due that keeps them coming. I'm pretty sure that the day I steal credit for something it showed me is the day it will stop showing me things. |

Crazy? Sure. Functional? You betcha. |
|
|
True, we are all part of the overall wave equation whether there are local bets or not. |
|
|
God does play dice with the universe. Wave function uncertainty is so strong that I'm not even in the same overall wave equation as I'm in! |
|
|
Really high orders of complexity does hide stuff well. |
|
|
You don't get to do that. You can't claim a causal link between quantum weirdness here and quantum weirdness there without proving quantum randomness does not exist. |

I had a shrink many years ago that said there were no
such things as accidents. (I was about 10 minutes late
and I said I overslept and that it was an accident).

[Voice] I thought it is always one wave equation of weirdness therefore giving the problem of the range/scope of looking. |
|
|
I'm going to need about two more years before I can prove my point. I need more time with integration and quantum wave probability. |
