    Literary feedback: Your pseudointellectualism, condescension, presumptuousness, and juvenile arrogance are abrasive. I recommend you eliminate these elements from your prose if you wish to market your writing.

    Do you already have a publishing company willing to pay you for this? Getting anything that falls into the realm of non-fiction (does this, really?) is close to impossible without already having a good editor and a publishing house looking for a specific NF topic.

    This is the kind of topic that isn't likely to lead to a profitable reader base, so publishing houses tend to shy away unless the person writing is a media sensation (either positive or negative), a college professor with a captive audience required to pay the requisite $250 for a course textbook (and in most cases, these are generally self-published unless the professor is recognized as an expert and likely to garner additional profits from other institutions utilizing the text), a renowned historian writing on a topic that has garnered substantial interest based on the Nielsen performance of an on-point documentary, or a renowned scientist discussing a controversial topic.

    So, I guess what I'm getting at is without pre-funding, any book you would write on the subject would be purely for self-edification. As such, what any of us think is entirely inconsequential.

    :flowerforyou:

    Awe.. vanity publishing will help significantly decrease your bank account :) Best wishes and Good luck :) The happy face will lead you to believe my IQ is <175.

    Decrease? - It won't do anything for my bank account either way? Unless you mean the opportunity cost from the time invested in constructing it?

    so Scottie - mind if I call you Scottie? - how long did it take you to perfect your dialogue/character? Did your relationship threads really generate the philosophical discourse you were seeking? I thought they were highly entertaining but I'm not so sure they were quite as insightful as you may have intended. Then again I didn't ever take you seriously as I knew there was no possible way you were completely for reals - just as a pointer, next time maybe don't suggest all of your love interests are models for the sake of credibility. Oh, also, if you haven't already done so, I am excluding myself from your experiment as my IQ is only 120. :flowerforyou:


    ETA: I should also mention I am only 45% sure you are serious about this whole biography business.

    ^my point was driving conversation to philosophy - to see if I could get people that divulge in lackluster entertainment through reading text - yet entertain them enough to guide them through philosophical discourse.

    Ah. And models. - indeed they are real - at the moment though I am only dating one lady at the moment and she is not a model - she was the psychologist I referred towards in a previous post. - frankly all of that though was strictly entertaining and embellished - I haven't fully formed my own 'self' I am still discovering and forming my identity, dating is a huge distraction from my current order of high priorities. I could care less about any of that - shocking how entertaining a randoms dating life was to everyone though.

    Interesting. I did not pick up on that at all, but then again I do not meet your IQ cutoff... :smokin:

    Yes, if you recall I previously asked you if there would be less embellished posts from you outside of the main forums. I can't quite decide if being so completely over the top was helpful or harmful to your cause. Would being less obvious of a "troll" (for lack of better term) have been more conducive to your experiment? Did it go according to your expectations?

    It did indeed. I got to observe stage 1 first hand, in fact I brought the all together repeatedly.

    - I have been taking care not to be presumptuous.

    As for the arrogance, condescension, and 'pseudointellectualism' ... I will keep that in mind. :flowerforyou:

    According to the Buzzfeed IQ test I took a few months ago, my IQ is 160.

    It's obviously true since it was on the Internet.

    But your little study is a bit beneath my mental capabilities and therefore, I must pass. The world needs me.

    Regardless - unless your points are entirely on point, today I do not have the time to entertain or comment back on the petty statements.

    When referring to homo sapiens, it is always "who" rather than "that."

    It's not so bad. Think of it as an opportunity for Moon Moon memes.

    The importance of the IQ input is because Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration largely applies only towards the gifted and genius - the bright don't even qualify or exhibit any overexcitabilities.

    Good grief - It's not that I'm putting anyone down, or putting myself up- the large part of this simply is in coping with overexcitabilities, and dealing with simpletons in day-to-day life. It is something someone gifted would realize is a blessing and yet can be a daily curse - particularly when suffering from insomnia.


    -_-

    Talk about proving some of my points for me...sheesh.

    I live my whole life by Buzzfeed. How else would I know I'm a late teens boy who would have made a great queen in the middle ages when I wasn't busy being Monty Python's Black Knight? Of course, the IQ test is all wrong because I only got an 87, so either I'm the world's smartest ape or I'm 9.

    You're copying and pasting from Wikipedia, aren't you?

    I mean, you don't know the difference between your and you're, but you can spell Dabrowski?

    Have you considered what you're going to do with the rest of your week once you've figured out the meaning of life?
