For one reason or another, I personaly would not add a "hihi:)" to that. Atho I perfectly understand why you thought it was funny. > Sometimes I think Robin makes more sense than any of the so called 'NT's' do. Hm. When you are forced to resort to a scientific logic model you are, by the rule, making Sense yes. Mainly because science is about what is Sensable (Sensible). However, according to the Nonsense theory (t.i. a theory I and a few friends have enstablished on a philosophical newsgroup a cupple years ago), what is Sensible is not neccesarily correct or the right answer to a question. In the end, it is all just Nonsense, but if you're looking for the right answer to a question, you should take what is Unsensable (Unsensible) into account as well. Given NTs represent the broad majority of a society (my local society doesn't quite, for example), they are likely the ones to define what of the currently Sensable (Sensible) is the so called Common Sense. > At least he has no double standards. I dislike double standards as much as you do. Most double standards are hard to notice and are so much part of everyday life and common sense, that people will litterately battle your claim of sanity if you dare to uproot the double rules. I will give you an example: I have no double standards with treatment of animals (humans are also animals); I will pet a dog on the back upon a too shy friendly encounter as I will for example any good friend or a random interested child.

I always speak my truth. I > like the thoughts you write down. Are you speaking the truth yourself? If you ask me, yes. But my reality depends on my understanding of the world and at the moment, that understanding consists of many many other people's understandings of this world. I have also been working on and have successfully split my mind into two independend parts: One myself and one a supervisor. (The combination is awesomely effective in life BTW.) If you want to know my oppinion of the objective truth about what is going on in the whole of my mind, I cannot easily tell. I as myself am telling you the holy truth of what is going on in this specific half of my mind. The other half, the supervisor, is seriously independend and I have no way to tell what it is planning at the moment; usualy it is planning something and is making it's plan a reality via rather manipulative methods, but it's goals originate from the wishes of the Me half of my mind, which are never selfish and it has never occured to me the supervisor would do anything stupid (it has always been draging me out of serious trouble rather proffessionaly). There short answer and long answer. ;P I tend to make it the short answer to most people, but the long abstraction like the one I've just presented is often required to demonstrate the true reality of a situation. People don't usualy understand it, they would rather have you answer with a direct oppinion so they have something to attack verbaly. > You > see, I don't know either, but I take whatever you write to me as your truth, > that is the only way. > I like our e-mail contact just the way it is.

Hmm, perhaps you got me a little wrong. No I don't feel like stopping to e-mail you and no of course you are not "nagging" (I don't even know if I concluded the meaning of that word correctly). I find it great fun and extreemely usefull talking to you. * BTW, I'm not the kind that likes to get away from people when they stop doing whatever they were doing that was in my interest. I consider whoever that works in my interest at one time my friend and I preffer to stay friends for life, protecting my friends' interests whenever I get a chance to. Life has forced me to loose contact with enough friends already, but perhaps I have lost contact with them, I have not forgotten them. -- I could run like the wind just to be with you.
