For inclusive communication, make the I Ching accessible to all
using assistive technologies, to standardize brain configuration,
as a way to imprint the archetypicality of time on new brains.

Well, at least it's not in other:general |
|
| |
This makes almost as much sense as the i ching
does. |
|
| |
Maybe if you take all the words in the idea and throw them in the air, when they come down they'll make some sort of sense ... ? |
|
| |
This like word salad but without the dressing. |
|
| |
Or the letters. Maybe an anagram... |
|
| |
You can rearrange the words to get something that makes more sense, even though it still has no meaning: |
|
| |
To standardize a way of inclusive communication, I (as the brain) imprint on all technologies. Using assistive configuration for archetypicality, accessible to
new brains, make the time. Ching! |

You are [beanangel], and we claim our five dollars ... |
|
| |
[JesusHChrist] The I Ching may need to be compressed/translated to a brain seeding protoype which in it's own way is a crap shoot into complexity. |
|
| |
Ooh! I just read about the i ching. Taoist randomness with
directionality to confucianal proper advice. It is thought to
be syncretic. I reject Confucious! |
|
| |
I offer the rejected Confucius a comforting hug, after appropriate,
tactful preliminaries. Then I pour the tea. |

I'm confused is the 5$ changing hands or not? Do I really have recall my childhood programming which makes me look to my ancestors for the answer? |
|
| |
[+] This is truly madness |
|
| |
// I'm confused is the 5$ changing hands or not? // |
|
| |
// Do I ... look to my ancestors for the answer? // |
|
| |
That's only possible if you know who your father was, which we doubt ... |

Heh, story time:
This girl once talked me into trying this I-ching.
I threw three coins however many times she said and looked up the blurb in her book.
It said something close to; "Prepare to weather the storm" , or some crap like that. So I did it again, and a gain, and again.
Every time was a different place in that stinking book but they all said the same stuff. Basically you're damned if you do and damned if you don't so gird yer loins boy. |

I was like; I don't think I like this very much.
Over the course of the next few weeks my girlfriend called it quits, I had to train the bosses son to take my job, had my van stripped of everything including my carpet tools, got evicted from a trailer I was renting for cash, and it was one of the two times in my life I've gone four days without eating. |
|
| |
Now I'm not saying there's a connection because that's not rational.
... but I never tossed those coins again either. |
|
| |
Could there be some confusion between cause and effect there ? |
|
| |
Could, in a very Schrödinger way, enquiring about the outcome actually affect the outcome ? |
|
| |
Is it better not to ask, or not to know ? |
|
| |
<shrugs> It's better to just take it as it comes.
Keeps the reflexes sharp. |
|
| |
That's a rough ride, but a GREAT story, [fries] .... you have the makings of a country music hit there. Is there a horse or a dog you can reference as well? |
|
| |
[8th], in my trade I'm often called on to data mine for history and track performance of a given phenom. |
|
| |
Often this seems to have the effect of making the phenom improve, without any other effort than looking at raw data and squeezing it for information periodically. |
|
| |
I missed my calling [norm]. Stage fright, you know how it is.
Heard a good one the other day though; |
|
| |
What do country music and rap music have in common?
Meh... music is music, just as long as someone is throwing a good ho down. |
