This man sees the damage of imagination. Uncle Verne and you would get along right nicely.
Quote:Good dreaming isn't delusional. Accepting something as merely a dream is fine, but it gets humans really fucked up when they are so credulous as to lead others off a cliff.
Wouldn't the credulous ones be the ones who are following the one person off a cliff?
Just a thought.Quote:I don't mind a good fantasy or escape as long as it is accepted as such. But far too much of our species doesn't do that, and it screws up our species quite often when it is confused as being fact.
You're funny, Brian. I think it's unintentional... but I'm glad you're giving me a laugh
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
