Thoughts of Others

[nitty-gritty]

Are they important?

How does real mind-reading work?

What do you think?

[nitty-gritty]

Nothing, you?

I wish I had your balls, to just flip out new threads seemingly without a thought.

What stops you?

[Carl G]

Humility.

Humility.

Lack of courage posing as humility?

[Carl G]

Lack of courage to post thoughtlessly? You think I should buck up and just do it?

Ah no I was just deducing a conclusion from your previous two posts ("Lack of balls" and humility). Maybe the expression you had in mind was civility.

[Carl G]

Cool.

Btw, you don't have to quote me every time if it's just us. There's a simple "post reply" button at the bottom of the page for this sort of friendly chat.

Makes me want Dan to only allow access to the Wordly Matters forum for newbies, until such time as they display mental effort.

Carl doesn't seem to have the outlook of a newbie...

Btw, mental efword, eh?

Thoughts of others are important, but is it not more important to understand why a person may think in the way you may think they think, instead of assuming...?

In other words: Listening.

[Dan Rowden]

We can never be certain of what another is thinking. This may have practical implications in worldly matters but it is of no consequence at all with respect for one's pursuit of wisdom. Other minds need not exist at all for that.

[Pincho Paxton]

We aren't equipped for mind reading. We can probably pick up on electricity in another human, and that's about it. Energy levels might give us clues, but not much.

I'd have a third one (two-tiered at that) called the "Troll Watch". The first would be "Huggies for Beginners" and the second half-tier for the graduates titled "Cloth Diapers". Then on to "Potty Training".

Diaper rash has many complicated theories surrounding it - too numerous to mention - in the Genius Section.

I think I may have gotten this right:

"Wisdom is a personal state of mind."

The thoughts of others are not important. What's it to you? You can naturally tune into someone's mindset without trying to delve deep into their thoughts. Only in listening to yourself can you actually hear someone else over the mental guessing.
