Every day, between 4 and 5pm. I take my meds. They most surely do not effect me, the way the would you. It is a bit of a pharmaceutical fusillade, or at least a three gun salute. If you have no need of such things, you got a lucky ticket! I'm lucky because I know the dosages and some people take, out on Shutter Island, and I can't imagine the magnitude of side effects that must entail. Which, naturally, require other meds. Vicious cycle, as you can imagine.

Simple stability at a non-Shutter Island level of p-meds has its tricks but they are workable. It's a grim daily routine only if you forget the alternative.

I'm imagining Foler, for example, follows no p-med regimen, and I doubt he regularly sees a psychiatrist. I am assuming he thinks he has no pressing need of such things nor does he "trust" them.

In today's world there is no reason to not be chill, unless one truly and really wants to be condemned to the shaw. There are always solutions, adaptations, new tactics, alternatives.

I am finding it hard to imagine what non-maladaptive need or function ultra-shaw existence satisfies? Is he like THE actor of our time, Mr. Denzel Washington as The Eqalizer, and simply never sleeps? This thread wouldbe a godsend if one was The Equalizer. Can't always be eggheading with the books man! No one can. It gets all tunnel-y.

Natural book fiends know how to *flush out* the circuits. You just have to not use those skills. I played pinball. I single play was going to work up a real sweat, since if you have tuned upper body strength, you can easily simply hold the machine up just so very little weight is on the front legs, so moving it does not shake. You can steer the ball just enough, and never trigger a tilt, and you want to talk about a work out. One is essentially lifting 90% of the weight of the machine up during the play. I would play an hour or two a day.

Anyone who can play decent pinball knows about this.

Foler's rhetorical grid (some say it's a semantic grid, I disagree. It measures the value, not the meaning, of statements) is some kind of protozoan matrix of utterance that is requiring me to rethink what exactly is human speech.

But I made up your grid, LLR, and included an example of how it works using a rough location of one of your recent statements. Note the relative success of your post largely depends on it's group-solidarity function, not its truth function. This is to be expected in many different situations, so is nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, it is probably the definition of the ordinary: ordinary communication is mostly about in and out group formation, not asking about truth.

Anyway! Your grid:

So Other Foler thinks that it's smarter and a better use of precious time and internet bandwidtch to graph every post rather than use the handy-dandy reactions I've concocted that achieve the exact same purpose?

This is why you're a chest cracker and others can only dream of such things!

Foler is the answer to the question "What happens when you brine your brain in Pine-Sol and smoke fly paper?"
