• re @americanbaron - He's very binary in the way he explains things, and this kind of dialogue is exactly how I think. It doesn't necessarily end up stuck in an infinite loop all the time or but these double negatives and isolating feedback loops is the thing. And whether it proceeds forward ultimately it not thinking in circles does happen, but instead of just a flat circle I feel like it loops around like a curl or coil oftentimes progressing forward anyway.
• I have a crush on the character in the purple tee shirt
• ^Add - To clarify since I realize how that might sound, no that does not mean I have a crush on baron on the basis of what I said about the binary thinking or explaining. I also said I think like that and this also doesn't mean I have a crush on myself.

• this is very Buddhist philosophy and very non-Buddhist philosophy at the same time
• I thought this was E when he was being cute. That this is how we would talk. I don't even remember anymore, and I hate that.

• I don't believe in chaos theory anymore, though. I see free will, but God's ability to read the future, as a box within a box within a box. The outer boxes are higher dimensions. Flies can fly around inside their box, but they cannot leave the bounds of their own box. They have free will but not limitless power. And technically there are an infinite number of locations and ways of being to the fly to fly within the limited space, the same way there are an infinite number of numbers between any two numbers, but those infinite options are still limited to that space the fly exists between.

• My reasoning is that the way I die is by definition/by its nature not something I need to remember lol
The muffin vs cupcake one - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLfcHZcsYh3/?igsh=MW9wdnZ4bzVzOWZpdg==
• Ah yes the limits of vocabulary, and very related, power of agreement. I love this subject. Reminds me of that quote by Abraham Lincoln about if you call a sheep’s tail a leg how many legs does it have. It emphasizes integrity, principle, and good faith dealing and communication over semantic loopholing.
• And yep I feel like this is a very relatable conversation to use for people, because I think most people do face that question at some point in their life of muffin vs cupcake (my argument is that all cupcakes are muffins but not all muffins are cupcakes but all muffins are cakes but not all cakes are muffins.) had almost this exact conversation.
• The Poverty exists because you and I all agree it does.
• I remember a couple men at the booth at Plan who I could tell were trying to make me think they are smarter than me starting to bring this up, but I was a lot better at explaining it than they were lol. (Yes, money only exists because we agree it does and this only has values because we agree it does. Because this is just paper or plastic, that is just metal. Numbers themselves are abstractions, for this is not the number three, these are a fingers being used a representation of an abstraction). We recognize things by what we call them, and value them according to what we agree it is worth. Hence a plastic bill with 20 written on it being worth more than a dime even though metal is harder to come by than plastic, but still, every time I recognize the $20 bill as more valuable on the basis of the agreement between us that it is. But it really is only that agreement that does this, and this really is driven home by the fact that you cannot eat money
^ Now that's such a convenient thing for someone who doesn't want to donate to apply to me asking for donations saying it's valueless, but if so valueless and this whole conversation is so still anyway why don't you put that red one in the box? (Don't worry I didn't really say that).

• Average conversation with my someone I know who both likes to lie and seems to think it's a good idea to keep doing that to me so he goes between playing dumb thinking this is a good idea and actually being dumb, which is actually just going between being dumb and being dumb because he evidently does not expect what happens in life when you decide to betray and deal in bad faith whose kindness you mistake as weakness, not recognizing that there very much are more powerful people than you who are also more kind than you. (The mistake of someone raised in a loveless home, I guess.)
