Ethnographic Survey!!!

[birba]

congrats on your grade!

You state in your conclusion that most interviewed have no basis of life/no I idea how matter came about in the first place.

So, this means that a few have the answer to all this?

Forgive me for the confusion. Most did not have a basis for life or matter, but some put forth their beliefs of where it all came from. In other words, most did not trace matter back to an origin, and some did. This does not mean that they were correct, just that they did have some belief of origin.

Does that make sense?

Yep, cool. Thanks

OK, I just read the paper...


...


explain to me, how did I not win, again?

Mostly because you are a kings fan.

imma just leave this here...

(I was at that game, BTW)

[Massis]

I was convinced I was a weirdo, but seeing my responses between the others in your paper, makes me feel uncomfortably normal...

Why would being like most people make you uncomfortable?

Have you seen "most people"? I don't want to be like most people I see, mindless sheep in the flock.

Go Penguins


When was the last time the Kings went all the way? Oh yeah... NEVER.

I wonder how everyone else feels about this...

So, is being in the herd really that ba-a-a-a-a-a-ad?

I agreed with Massis for a long time. My mind changed when I realized that practically every intelligent human believes that they have unique thoughts and feelings. If everyone has unique thoughts and feelings, is that a unique experience? How do we find others who agree with us or live like us if unique thoughts and feelings truly existed? Even some of the greatest inventions of our time, ala the light bulb, was thought up by several brilliant people all over the world around the same time (within a year) when our ability to share ideas was significantly more limited than it is now.

Separation is an illusion. Once I was willing to accept that we are all connected, sharing a similar human experience, it became much easier for me to understand other people's needs based simply on my interaction with them. Understanding through shared experience is powerful.

Humans are community animals. We seek out others who agree with us or live like us so we can share a common ground. Even those who would not identify themselves with the herd try to create a herd of their own. We need community.

[Massis]

I agree that people need community. However for me personally it's not so much about seeking uniqueness, but about seeing the average level of human intelligence around me.
That's what causes me to be unable to identify with most others, thus wanting to be different.

I do off course have my own little herd of people who I feel are intelligent enough to be worth my time

[Sasquatch]

90% of people polled feel that the work harder and are more efficient at their jobs than those around them. They can't all be right!

Luckily, I am one of the more intelligent and harder working humans, so I can see these things with more clarity than the rest of you bozos.


And if you like, look up "circular argument" for proof.

Ummm... 2012. They were the last team to win The Stanley Cup and are the defending champs. That's kind of why Kopi was skating The Cup in the picture I posted. So, the opposite of never.

YES!!! Good observation Ubester.

This is one of the things I am very big on.

Not just community, but authentic community.

I actually did know they won last year. I have an inlaw who follows them closely. I don't personally follow hockey enough right now to keep up, but I do hope the Penguins and the Kings have a good year. I just remembered the pic you put up of the seats you got to the game. They were pretty sweet.
