Ask me a question:

[Age]

Yes. ALL those who want war are "adult" human beings. But not ALL adult human beings want war.

OBVIOUSLY.

I'm 55 years old, Age. How old are you?

WHY?

What would knowing 'that' have to do with what I replied with and you are responding to here?

Well, if you're not going to share your real age, which I have done for you, then I will assume that is best. I suggest keeping it that way.

Age is ageless.

Because 'Age' or 'Time' is a human concept, and concepts know nothing.

"Naivete" and lack of trust in others can sometimes appear similar. Either way, you might go without shaking the hand of someone in front of you. Comprende?

Hand shaking is more culturally and situationally dependent as is the more emotionally-driven hand wringing. Hand wringing has become increasingly popular, fueled by the energy of woe-is-me while mired in the Land of Plenty. Wrong-reading the situation and culture is a faux pas for tourists and their fuel for self-depricating tales of adventure, but read your native culture wrong and you're misreading what's appropriate, which is no-comprende by objective measure, Amigo, and no-comprende may even land a clueless innocent on the wrong side of town, wandering around and asking questions. During the big Covid-shutdown elbow rubbing became fashionable in place of hand shaking. Elbow-rubbing was usually accompanied by smirks at the newness, and if you bucked the trend and tried to shake someone's hand in the Covid-situation you were obviously oblivious to the germ-fears of other folks and you might have been accused of attempted murder if the appendage you were reaching to grasp belonged to a crazed Leftist (but I repeat myself). Now that everyone is woke you won't find many people sneezing into their own hand and then offering that same hand for you to shake, even after the person courteously wipe's his, or God forbid her's, sneeze spray on the pant's seat.

Take it higher, Gary. That's the point of being here in a philosophy situation.

As far as I know, Age is Age.

[Walker]

Higher, not lower.

[Gary Childress]

Why do I need to "take it higher"? People who fly also need a ground crew, don't they? If you don't want to be part of the ground crew, so be it.

[Walker]

Gary, Gary, Gary. You're from earth, right?
Wandering around and asking questions.

You must take it higher to be part of the ground crew.

You should know this by now.

Walker, Walker, Walker, where do you want me to "take it" then, to a mountain top somewhere? If I did so, I would still be on Earth. Where do you expect travelers to land, in the clouds? It's pretty difficult to pave clouds.

[Walker]

You should have picked up on the fact that taking it higher does not involve asking me questions.

For example, if you ask me what taking it higher does mean, you are not taking it higher, but rather, you are wandering around like a child without a clue.

Gary, Gary. Here's what you do. You offer something worth my time.

Fuck off.

[Walker]

Gary, Gary, Gary. Is that all you can do without a question mark?

That is not taking it higher. That takes it lower.

Worry about walking on the earth before concerning yourself with paving the clouds.

Funny, I thought that was saying we obviously share little in common.

[Gary Childress]

Walker, walker, walker...

[Walker]

Keep trying, and take your time. You've wasted enough of mine.
