The Social Network

I feel as if I were just pounded relentlessly on the head with the clever-dialogue hammer. So Zuckerberg is intelligent enough to see through the obvious bull shit of everyone surrounding him, and enough of a brave social outcast to speak truthfully about it regardless of the consequences... well jeez. I guess that's all it takes to make a hero these days.

Self-Psychoanalysis Prologue

I'm working on putting together a post entitled "Self-Psychoanalysis," but before I do, I wanted to write up this brief prologue to cover a certain preliminary issue, namely, the manner in which my psyche contains and uses data.

Having spoken to a few other people, I have realized that this issue may not only be of interest to anyone that might read these posts, but also of interest in establishing a foundation upon which the reader can begin to construct a comprehension of why I communicate in the way I do. Many individuals have told me that I communicate oddly; many more have leveled very specific criticisms against my style of communication, saying that it is overly technical, indulgent, or even arrogant. While my motives may be a valid consideration, I shall forego such a discussion at this time to instead describe a certain psychological process that I deem not only relevant but also imperative. It must be understood that everything described herein is a consciously enforced schema, such that it is almost a natural habit, but a learned one and an intended one.

Quote Concerning Loneliness

"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible."

-Carl G. Jung

I agree with this. I constantly feel loneliness first because the things that are important to me are things that no one else cares to even comprehend, second, because most of my "views" are things that others find inadmissible in the extreme.
