Someone's trying to get people to troll Bay12 via Omegle again  ::), this time by claiming Toady is a Neo Nazi. I don't understand why people want to do this.
Do you suppose they're even using the Toady message gadget someone made a long while back.
That is a bizarrely specific thing to make.

I need to take a break from being INTJ-Vector and be INTP-Vector.  I don't have the energy for the other one right now (it's not natural to me, anyway).
So... what you're saying is you want to shift away from making solid plans ahead of time, to a more adaptive planning style?

Well yeah, that's one of the other possibilities, it would have just been sort of humorous to me if it were the case.

I need to stop worrying about judging and being judged for a while and just act according to whim.  I'm tired of fighting against everything and ranking things and ordering things.  I don't want to do that.  I need to just be a jellyfish for a while again and stop worrying.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

In my experience I found this sort of thing to be a good idea. Not only because I seem to do better in terms of my relationships with people if I'm not trying too hard, but also because I think jellyfish have got it all figured out. I mean there's a reason they're more or less the same as they were millions of years ago.

I need to be better at studying. Don't know how.

Also should work on coding projects more :< And finish one, even. Is that too greedy?

None of that is greedy. And being better at studying = retention of what you learned, not exactly hours invested into pouring over books.

Then again there's plenty of things that jellyfish do that you probably don't.

Maybe check what's the cause of all of that and try to see it from an observer's viewpoint on the whole situation?

Wishing you well, all the way, though.

Well, uh, Hmm. This is a more pointless then inviting the Winner of the Coney Island Hot-dog eating contest to a Vegetarian meeting. It will accomplish absolutely nothing.

Wish you could be me, I know I'm bad at studying because I dislike doing it and don't put sufficient time into it. Also because I'm disorganized, have poor attention, and a vague sense of pointlessness. On the days I manage to overcome that, I study.

It's more of a cloaca really, and people can do that if they really want to.
