CHAOS!!!

RE: CHAOS!!!
Doubtie Wrote:Why are those things good?

The first is good because without calm you have a lack of calm... aka: Panic And that is very bad, or at least it is if you consider stampeding and/or depressed/paranoid people are not bad things.... all three of which I deem bad (though I note good and bad are personal value judgements, and these statements only necessarily apply to me).

The second is good for the same reasons sex, partying, and euphoria inducing drugs are all good... in that they literally make one feel good. And it is good to feel good.

The third is good because if we couldn't cope, we should all commit suicide or go insane in response to the likes of a papercut. That would be bad, thus coping mechanisms are good.

4: if prayer worked, and say... healed someone's cancer: That's good. Alternately, if it struck someone dead via meteorite: not so good. But the feeling that one is doing good is a good one to have.... if one doesn't have that feeling: it likely means that they are not doing good (as they see that).

Quote:You may think I was being rude but rudeness was not my intention, and would everyone find it rude?

Rudeness is often an accident, and no: not everyone would find it rude. However, do you find this rude?: "Why is it good to perform science? Because scientists say so? Why is science good? Because your textbooks say so? Why are the textbooks good? Because the textbooks are the written by scientists? What makes you think that the textbooks are written by the scientists? Because the textbooks say so and are supposedly inspired by the scientists? Why are they inspired by scientists? Because someone wrote that it was? Why did the writer make the textbooks that way? Because you believe everything you read? Why do you believe everything that is written? Because it says so in the textbooks and the textbooks are inspired by scientists?"

I find that very rude because:
1: the questions flow as if they were statements,
2: you 'asked' and then 'answered' your own 'questions'.... if you were curious you would ask a couple of questions, wait for an answer, think about the answer, and possibly respond with further questions. As it is...
3: it feels very accusatory in any way I voice them.
4: it appears to have been written in bitterness/anger/annoyance/spite/disgust/venom, or some other foul creature of the mind...
5: it comes across as intentionally insulting... wether it was or not.

Can't you get all of those in other ways?

I don't understand 0.o? :S
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
