HIM + getting the point = ?
80 Fora - HIM = ?
[/b]

Maybe the correct plural is "Fori"... :blink: anyway sounds really sophisticated.

Another arytmetic:
 = *using a viking axe*
 N3rd = 2/2 N3rd

or Riker: 2 = ? , so we are finally back to Star Treck :bleh:

I remember another intersting thing. It was a Star Trek: Next Generation episode "Frame Of Mind"....
[/b]

Yeah, that was a real great episode... just pushing that Descartes- paradigm: "cognito, ergo sum! - I think, therefore I am!" to a limit. A bit like Franz Kafka.

You will find the same in the end of the Terry Gilliam Movie "Brazil".

Maybe it's possible to transfer the Descartes- paradigm in a more practical meaning, here are my propositions:
1. Co<strike>gn</strike>ito, ergo sum!
2. I d<strike>t</strike>rink, therefore I am!

Actually, I debated about which was more appropriate, "in" or "on" or even, "with," but then gave up and went outside into the sunshine etc. etc.
[/b]

Maybe it's more appropriate to say "onto" the sunshine or even "withto"...

2. I d<strike>t</strike>rink, therefore I am![/b]

That is a typo there look: 2. I dr<strike>th</strike>ink, therefore I am! <--that's better

Anyway, "Coito Ergo Sum" does not mean the above one, it means "I *hump*, therefore I am"

"I don't know English, I just speak it."[/b]

I don't know English and I don't speak it

No, I'm pretty sure Fora is right. *n333rd1ng off*

Damnit. A bit grammar is ok, but HOLY JESUS. This is too much *dirty word* fuss about a useless ancient language.

How do you know when you're going crazy? I don't, thats why I'm asking. I know it's a weird question, considering that I haven't been on lately, but I just need your opinion/opinions.

When your avitar looks like Scatty's then your probably crazy or a syco

I knew what it meant, I just thought about what to do first... You know: Wodka makes your partner look more attractive, but you have to drink it! :w00t:

In fact, thats the reason, why I made the typos...

Hmm... Very interesting...
So "coitare" seems to be sophisticated latin, whereas "futuere" is obscena. Obviously those Romans haven't been delivered by the stork.

thx anyway...

But back on the topic:
1. Does the fact of beeing mad (crazy, disturbed, ga ga, refer to track 2 of the Queen album "Innuendo" for more terms...) excludes the ability of realizing the own mental state?

which leads to:
2. Can the term "mad" (crazy,...) be defined and how?
3. How relyable is the image of our own mental state or any impression we get?

...fortytwo!... hmm just a try...

To cut it short: I don't know!

I am sure, there are no logic answers to those questions. Philosophers have worked on question 3 for the last 2500 years and haven't found an answer. Maybe the best way is just to believe in the image of the world. That way it all depends on the own person. Noone could just declare:" My senses might trick me, so maybe everybody else is wrong, and I am right, I can walk over water and this huge truck, approaching me, is just an illusion... BAZOONG!" If it turns out to be some kind of imaginary world, well good luck. If not you might have some troubles. So believing in what we call "reality" seems the most practical way. In fact this is a paradigm.
Certainly, it is important to seek the most relyable image of the enviroment, to stay critical. Getting the constant image by others of being the most insane, and the worst person could be caused by

a) an inferiourity complex, which strongly enhances any negative feedback,
b) maybe a real desease, surely bad manners and some really honest people,
c) constant nagging of real menace poeple, which will lead to a) or b).

Very often the most probable solution turns out to be the right one. A conspiracy is really unlikely.

In the meantime everyone should try to relax and enjoy life as much as possible and as far as nobody will be harmed.
