I had to foe Age as soon as I saw his first post to me. I don't Haye the guy, it was just too much to take in all at once. Long text, endless capitalization of entire words.

So has anyone figured out how to read his posts? I'm guessing ALL CAPS mean something important, but 1 out of 5 words seem to be all caps. Also.... the awful length of the posts.

In my Descartes thread, he seemed to be angry at me, but couldn't tell if we agreed or disagree. It was like having a zoom meeting on a big screen TV, 6 inches from your face, and all you can see is his nose.

Note I'm not mocking the substance of his ideas. I can't even tell what they are. I just see a sea of big angry text when I see people quote him. I'm guessing since people quote him, they figured him out. Is he angry posting? Or is there a secret code? What is he emphasizing? If it was just one or two words per paragraph then I know he really means those words.... but it's twenty words per paragraph.

Take this recent reply to old woman Maia:

A GREAT example of 'this' is 'you', older people, DO seem VERY MUCH to care MORE ABOUT 'you', and 'the body', that is; 'the boundary', than the ACTUAL 'Thing', WITHIN.

'you', people, are, literally, MORE CONCERNED ABOUT 'physical feelings' and/or 'being hurt/internal feelings', than 'you' are ABOUT the ACTUAL Truly IMPORTANT 'Thing' and 'One' IN Life.

He uses FULL CAPITALIZATIONS, then Partial Capitalizations, and then "Quotation Marks" and I as someone older than Maia am easily confused by this hipster approach to writing. Where is the emphasis? What do I focus on?

Reason I think he is trying to be meaningful and communicate with us is this:

and/or 'being hurt/internal feelings

You notice when Age can't decide on a word they are consistent. It isn't

AND/"or" 'Being HURT/"Internal" FEELINGS

So he can be consistent and write normal when he is indecisive, but when he knows what he wants to say clearly (and loudly), comes off incoherent. Pure chaos. Why?

WHY did 'I' SEEM to be angry AT 'you'?

The ACTUAL ANSWER is VERY OBVIOUS. BUT, we WILL WAIT to SEE if 'this one' can ACTUALLY work it out, or NOT.

Here is a ANOTHER PRIME example of just how Truly SIMPLE and EASY it IS to CONTROL, and MANIPULATE, the 'human being'.

'they' only have to see or hear some 'thing' ONCE, but if 'they' BELIEVE 'that thing' to be true, then for as long as that BELIEF exists, 'they' are forever more CLOSED, BLIND, and DEAF, regarding 'that thing'.

LOL

That is the way "constantine", ask "OTHERS" what "another" is REALLY SAYING and MEANING, that way 'you' WILL get the MOST Honest and Truest ANSWER/S, right?

'These people', back then, REALLY did DO 'this', and continually I will add.

Even a lot of discussions in the so-called 'education system' of 'philosophy' was about TALKING ABOUT what "other" authors and speakers REALLY WERE SAYING, and MEANING. 'These people' were REALLY that STUPID that 'they' would NOT go DIRECTLY TO the SOURCE, but would ACTUALLY prefer to TALK ABOUT "the other"/'the source' INSTEAD. But this was just the result of growing up in a society that continually JUDGED "others". SEE, when one is JUDGING "another" then this is ALWAYS done BEHIND "the other", or 'behind the "other's" back', as some would say, and 'this behavior' of always talking ABOUT "another" or always talking 'behind "another's" back' became SO HABITUAL that one consequence was that INSTEAD of just ASKING "the other", who IS BEING JUDGED just A CLARIFYING QUESTION, 'they' would literally ASK "other people", 'What was 'that one' actually saying?' or 'What did 'that one' actually mean?' Which is even MORE ABSURD when 'they' do 'this' in written word in a public forum where ALL can LOOK, and SEE.

But, 'this' is just another habitual behavior, coming from wanting to gain the 'most numbers', the 'biggest bullies', and/or the 'strongest army' AGAINST "another" when NOT liking what "another" DOES or when what "another" is 'perceived' to be like. So, TALKING ABOUT "the other", while 'trying to' HUMILIATE or RIDICULE "the other" then gains 'MORE SUPPORT', from those of and with LESS ACTUAL CONFIDENCE and KNOWING, so forming a 'bigger group' of MORE HATRED, MORE SHALLOW and MORE LIMITED thinking, until an 'us' VERSES 'them' attitude IS CREATED.

Constantine wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 12:05 am Or is there a secret code?

I wonder if 'this one' has WORKED OUT HOW 'it' could FIND OUT and thus KNOW what the ACTUAL IRREFUTABLE Truth IS, YET?

Constantine wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 12:05 am
What is he emphasizing?

REALLY?

Does one REALLY NEED TO ASK what is 'it' one is emphasizing when 'they' are emphasizing some 'thing'?

Constantine wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 12:05 am If it was just one or two words per paragraph then I know he really means those words.... but it's twenty words per paragraph.

That seems like a VERY SPECIFIC number, TO CHOOSE.

Or, do I REALLY emphasize, EXACTLY, 'twenty words' PER, or EVERY, paragraph?

Or, maybe 'you' would suggest here that it would be BETTER I ask ANOTHER PERSON, or SOMEONE ELSE, WHY 'you' DO the 'things' that 'you' DO here, correct?

WHY did 'I' SEEM to be angry AT 'you'?

The ACTUAL ANSWER is VERY OBVIOUS. BUT, we WILL WAIT to SEE if 'this one' can ACTUALLY work it out, or NOT.

I can't. That's the extent of your post I read too BTW. I tried the rest and went cross-eyed from your projection of dazzling confusion. It's like the WW1 dazzle camouflage used on battleships. It wasn't meant to hide the ship but rather confuse anyone viewing the ship trying to identify and target it. It's insidious.

WOW REALLY?

Absolutely NONE of 'us' had SEEN nor WORK 'this' OUT BEFORE. So, THANK YOU for bringing 'this' to our attention "constantine".

Also, WHY would I, or ANY one, USE what 'you' call 'partial capitalization', where just the first letter is capitalized for ANYWAY?

Constantine wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 12:05 am and then "Quotation Marks" and I as someone older than Maia am easily confused by this hipster approach to writing. Where is the emphasis? What do I focus on?

That is it, ask EVERY one "ELSE", besides the ACTUAL 'author/speaker'.

Now, let us SEE how long it TAKES to GET the True, Right, AND Correct answer.

Or, WILL the respondents, if any, just end up disagreeing and quarreling OVER what 'I', or "the other", ACTUALLY meant in what 'I', or 'they,' SAID or WROTE. Just like 'you', adult human beings, have been doing for countless millennia 'now', hitherto when this is being written?

Nope, can't read that shit. Hooked on Ebonics didn't work for me.

Can someone tell me what he is saying? I know I'm supposed to feel very insulted right now.... I got that gist, but not much else. And he seems to be suggesting he is a child in terms of age.

You notice when Age can't decide on a word they are consistent.

What do you MEAN by, 'can't decide on a word ...'.

I CHOSE 'those words' SPECIFICALLY.

For what 'they' MEAN, and for the MESSAGE that I WAS and AM CONVEYING, and SHARING.

Which, OBVIOUSLY, if NOT YET KNOW will NOT BE KNOWN UNTIL CLARIFICATION, FROM 'me' ONLY is SOUGHT, and OBTAINED.

BUT, do NOT let 'me' STOP 'you' from MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, BELIEVING 'your' OWN ASSUMPTIONS are true, right, and/or correct, and from SEEKING 'answers' FROM "others" ABOUT 'me', and MY WORDS.

I CHOSE the words 'being hurt/internal feelings' BECAUSE those TWO are, ESSENTIALLY, THE SAME, and I wanted to ASSOCIATE the TWO TOGETHER, as in 'hurt' in RELATION TO 'internal feelings/emotions', (i could have USE the 'or' word instead of the back slash here now), but I, AGAIN, CHOSE what I DID for a VERY SPECIFIC REASON. Anyway, I CHOSE the words 'being hurt' in RELATION TO 'internal feelings' or 'emotions' to SEPARATE 'that hurt' FROM the 'physical hurt' that IS ALSO 'felt' and 'experienced'.

Just so 'we' are ALL CLEAR here I did NOT, as "constantine" PRESUMED, SAY and WRITE, 'being hurt/internal feelings', because I could NOT decide on a word, AT ALL.

I CHOSE those EXACT WORDS for a VERY SPECIFIC REASON, and PURPOSE.

Constantine wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 12:23 am It isn't

AND/"or" 'Being HURT/"Internal" FEELINGS

'It is NOT' 'this way' BECAUSE, to me, to do so would just be ABSURD and RIDICULOUS.

AND, would REMAIN SO, at least, UNTIL I CHECKED and CLARIFIED WITH the 'author', 'WHY did you write 'that way', EXACTLY?' THEN, IF, and WHEN, 'they' gave me a REASONABLE ANSWER, then 'that way' would NOT seem ABSURD and RIDICULOUS as 'it' previously did, or, at least, NOT AS ABSURD and RIDICULOUS as 'it' DID, PREVIOUSLY.

Here we have A PRIME example of just how EASILY, SIMPLY, and QUICKLY Wrong ASSUMPTIONS can and DO lead 'you', human beings, COMPLETELY and UTTERLY ASTRAY, and thus just as COMPLETELY and UTTERLY LOST and CONFUSED.

I will REMIND the 'readers' here, I was NOT 'indecisive', and was IN FACT the VERY OPPOSITE FROM being 'indecisive' when I SAID and WROTE what I did there. In fact I was VERY CONSCIOUS of 'those specific words' WHEN 'I' WAS CHOOSING 'them' at the time of WRITING 'them'.

Some may well even be NOTICING that by PICKING and CHOOSING 'those words', AND WHILE WRITING 'them' in the EXACT SAME WAY and MANNER that I DID, I BROUGHT ABOUT 'this consequence'. Which, as can be CLEARLY SEEN, has PROVIDED a GREAT EXAMPLE of ONE OF THE MESSAGES I KEEP SAYING, and REPEATING, throughout this forum. Therefore, from MY VERY DECISIVE DECISION TO CHOOSE 'those SPECIFIC words', and TO WRITE 'them' IN THE VERY DECISIVE EXACT WAY that I DID, I HAVE CREATED what I CONSCIOUSLY WANTED WHEN I WROTE 'them'.

So, ASSUMING and/or BELIEVING that 'I' was 'indecisive' could well be even FAR FURTHER FROM the ACTUAL Truth that was first thought ABOUT or IMAGINED here.

If one READS, HEARS, and/or SEES so-called 'pure chaos', then WHY 'this IS SO', IS, REALLY, VERY OBVIOUS, well to some of us here anyway.

I can't.

you CAN. That is; if you REALLY WANT TO.

The ANSWER is just SO BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS anyway.

you are obviously bamboozled and confused here. So, end of story then, right?

I think Age is an autistic-schizophrenic and is also pretty dumb, Age is also channeling the awakening universe-God from the future (chosen one syndrome), and thinks that he/she has found the way to always tell what is the absolutely true, correct answer to any question. Age writes with 100% certainty, his/her capitalizations are less shouting and more like emphasizing words, Age is trying to beat it into your head how unfathomably stupid and hopeless you are for not seeing the absolutely certain truths that he/she sees, and for not seeing how you don't know what you are talking about and why the things you write make no sense.

Age also can't read more than a few words at a time, so will chop up your post into 170 parts, and react to each part separately (and only reacts to the words themselves but can very rarely process the implications of the words, which non-autistics do automatically). And for every part he/she will pose you two new questions, so the size of the posts always grows exponentially if you attempt to actually answer everything, in a short time you'll be spending hours on your next reply, talking about nothing. Just keep Age on foe, you're not missing out on any interesting insight, we already tested it.

The torrent of Age's typhoons are a struggle to survive indeed...

Originally I guessed his age in the mid-twenties since he seems able to type complex paragraphs, but I suspect he's still a teenager. I presume he's very autistic and anti-social, hence his compulsion for anti-social tendencies even in textual form. He does make good points once in a long while, but after dealing with him long enough, I generally peruse his first few sentences to get a gist of what's saying and respond to that.

I was thinking of finding an online editing program to remove all his capitalization, but that's more effort I'm willing to offer him right now...

As if it would anyway.

Fascinating:
Age managed a whole sentence without bizarre capitalizations.

Age.... I'm going to administer a Turing Test to you.
