G: it’s not even hot air. it’s the same air that’s been there since birth. It’s since stagnated and aided in the generation of mutant virii that, if ever released, would wipe out all life on earth
not that I’m judgemental or anything
Brian: not in the slightest

Jesse: yeah it sucks cause nobody in here has an open mind about music i understand that it is a work environment and some people get distracted easily, but people were BITCHING ABOUT LED ZEPPELIN yesterday. they were like “what is this, can we shut it off?” luckily i had my samurai sword and i cut them all into tiny fucking pieces and shoved them all into the coffee maker, waited 30 mins and sat back and relaxed to “trampled under foot” while sipping on some piping hot human tea…. assholes
Behold the philosophical wonders that unfold when you find everything to do but update!
G: you know what’s a funny word? “crunk” kittymcgee: agreed
why was it invented? G: as a descriptive term for being various kinds of loaded, instead of just drunk, is my assumption kittymcgee: true….but what does the c stand for?
cocaine drunk? kittymcgee: aha! G: I always assumed it was “crazy drunk”
And in a slightly more “philosophical” vein….
me: The two rules for success are:
1. Never tell them everything you know. pick007: yay!
uhm,
yay! me:http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~jim/selfref.html pick007: before i open this, is it a link to the second rule, or is it a lnading page of icons that make fun of me etc… me: tsk tsk
would I make fun of you? pick007: ok, hold on
yes!
i am your underling, me: well that doesn’t mean I have to make fun of you pick007: well it doesnt mean you wont either! me: we’re getting into a bit of a loop here pick007: maybe im just drawing on harsh experiences, and I SHOULD BE PRAYING AND GIVIING THANKS THAT I HAVE A NEW AND MORE UNDERSTANDING (goddamn caps lock) nurturing cult leader me: Yes I’m much more forgiving and kindly than your average brainwashing group alpha pick007: yes! you must be punished! now drink that keg cup! and no sipping, take it down! me: At least until the proper initiation starts, but the best way to break free of previous imprints to make room for new imprints and ways of thoughts is through shock, and sometimes that means violence and debasement pick007: see thats what i was expecting, harsh debasement, and otherwise initiation me: I’m experimental. The traditionalist ways of fear, mystery, and sometimes bloodshed WORK, but I question their necessity pick007: …and the only way to know for sure is to practice them, and take in the effects me: Consider the zen roshi, who beats the pupil on the head with his staff, sometimes for no reason at all. it works, but is there another way? pick007: no. me: Destruction of the ego results in rebirth into a fresher mindstate, but there’s got to be a safer way pick007: i suppose one could ask: if there were another way, how would one still valiate their roshidity me: well the pupil eventually becomes the master, and despite the paradigm-breaking nature of their learning, they may still take on some prorgramming and mannerisms of those who guided them pick007: yes. for paradigm breaking itself is a structured paradigm, which is even desirable for human purposes, I mean, purposes
but without stick whacking, would they still be roshi?
or are they roshi because they whack stick?
on a related note: would investiagtion of Godel’s theorem provide more insight into how to define a self reference joke? for a minute, I would have said “i get it” but upon further reading, I question it now, as there seem to be jokes which, uhm, well, for lack of a better term, “dont reference themselves”. or the people telling them.
would possibly either of the words: ironic, or oxymoronic appear in its definition? or for that matter, any of the “…ronic” words? me: chronic? pick007: exactly me: I would say the most amusing, directly self-referential “joke” in there is the Recursive loop statement pick007: i like that one
i like them all, and i think theyre all funny.
it was just the name i questioned mostly for examples like: anyone who sees apsychiatrist… me: mm
yes pick007: yes you agree? or yes is the answer? like 42? me: yes I agree
on a somewhat side, but still related note, theoretical math is downright sexy pick007: oh my god yes!
that goes without… me: :3
I wonder if anybody’s done a shirt that says I <3 Quantum Mechanics
maybe Quantum Theory would be better pick007: yea, or, ” I 2x= y,z <{3.1} quantum theory
?
you should do it
but i want 3% royalties for giving you the encouragement and support to live your dreams
so, I cam up with 3 self reference jokes, and i want you to tell me what you think, which one's your favorite, and if any of them fits the theme better. ready? a) bob sagat
b) bob sagat is.
c) bob sagat is not. me: ahahaha
wtf pick007: dammit. i was afraid youd say that.
ok, what about, d) Bob Sagat is funny. me: well that’s just all lies
