A vanity post « on: 2004-03-11 05:32:46 » A vanity post Last Tuesday, I made a couple of posts in the BBS which didn't make it to your mailboxes, apparently because it was one of those days for the mail server. Since I spent more than a couple of hours on the first one, finding and sorting out the materials and trying to optimize the utility of its angle, I thought I should let you know. The first one is the 11th post (bottom one on page 1 at this time) of this thread: Deja vu All Over Again in Haiti http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=61;action=display;threadid=30001 and the second one is a little something I found, related to: Raining Consciousness http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=61;action=display;threadid=30014 (4th post) That's it.

At least for the moment - China seems to have largely squelched the 'political' net, and is relentlessly prosecuting those who step out of line. Raining Consciousness http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=61;action=display;threadid= 3004 [Blunderov]<Applauds this post too> I agree that the reviewer was very cavalier about this. I am convinced that it is the function of the ego to construct a COHERENT narrative of the self. Have you ever noticed how when a person you know behaves out of character, they always misremember the incident in a way that re-accords with that character? ("What I actually said was...") It follows that we will almost never notice this behaviour in ourselves - it is what Douglas Adams identified as a 'SEP'; a 'somebody else's' problem'. The SEP's characteristics are such that you can never actually see one. The best that can be done is to sometimes glimpse one in the outer periphery of the vision, and even then it is so fleeting that you will suspect that it never really existed at all.
