Jerry Robinson56 said:And that psychological evaluation—essentially a Rorschach test😁 was brilliantly executed... a study in gauging sanity. It’s the core of any assessment, really: that subtle nuance of knowing exactly when to push and when to pull back...

this is merely the prologue...
Should I send you a private link to the movie so you don't waste your money? 😁 ... In my experience, if something is actually worth owning, the original will surface eventually.

one of those endings that leaves you in tears without fail.

as for the "confusion," it isn't just the result of the fungi; it's a unique instance of PKD, which is devilishly fascinating.

This is just the introduction...
Can someone shoot me a DM with a link to that movie? I’d rather not shell out the cash for it if I don't have to. 😁 If it’s something I truly value, I make sure to track down the original version sooner or later.

One of those endings that just leaves you in tears.

It’s not just about the fungus causing that confusion. There's something else going on here—it looks like a specific case of PKD, which is honestly pretty fascinating in its own way.[/I]

Can you drop the link? 🙂

I still think my favorite Rorschach is the one in... About this movie.I'm guessing you already know exactly what I'm talking about without even having to click. 😁

I read that exact same comic strip once too... you know, the one where they see a dog's head and start seeing butterflies instead? I ended up getting a little lost in the panels myself after a while. It was honestly brilliant. 😍

there are actually quite a few of them
the film is significantly softer while still capturing the core essence, though I would suggest skipping those first few minutes. It’s far too dense with symbolism, dark humor, and truths we’d rather ignore...

and don't even get me started on the music and the violin work.... just watch.

Thanks for the link. To be honest, I found the book a little too heavy on the speed-induced paranoia, but I absolutely love dark humor.

That said, I thought that part where the fake identity takes over the real one was pretty clever. A classic Dick move—totally struck dumb and confused. 🤣

Not really. I gave it a read, but it didn't quite click for me. Honestly, if I were a cop, I'd be weeping right now—I much preferred things like *Galactic Ceramic Healer*, *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?*, *The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrič*, or *Ubik*. Those were much more my style.

Jerry Robinson56 said:Not until that much-hyped individual finally lands after resisting something she clearly already knows the truth about...

"Do one thing every day that scares you." That stands as my absolute favorite piece of advice, specifically number three.

The video is overflowing with wonderful insights, though I must admit, there were a few I chose to ignore...

I actually listened to that advice a long, long time ago... and well, I followed it. Now I just have way too much free time on my hands since those little things eventually sorted themselves out. 😠

Jerry Robinson56 said:And what is the distinction? Where exactly... he didn't just veer off, he slammed straight into mode 😁
good, I haven't read... well, fine, the writing and the thought process are excellent, so you really have to consider all three perspectives to get the full picture.
Sometimes I stumble upon some truly brilliant posts, but it feels entirely haphazard—like finding flashes of light from "fade to gray" users who haven't quite been revived yet, though perhaps they could be through some sort of automated system.

Pretty much. 🤣

Man, traffic laws are getting weird. You can't even drive through a lane properly anymore without feeling like someone's watching. Honestly, who wouldn't swerve to avoid that kind of pressure? 😠

Jerry Robinson56 said:Well, I also have two 😁 Economy and Natural Science credits. It is utterly unfair because I was right then and I am right now—that isn't just an opinion, it is a matter of fact, though if I were to explain why I refuse to follow the rules, I'd be breaking them... but such is life. They rarely reward you in the places where you actually excel...

The only thing I lack is a clone, or several clones. 😁

one and only

PS, I took a look—he's been around for two years... and given how many people we've managed to "enlighten," it won't be easy for anyone to catch up to him.

I was just saying, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by "perme." Could you clarify or provide more context? I want to make sure I'm on the same page before I respond.Not just bits and pieces. 😁

Jerry Robinson56 said:Only 36, a full 🕺. Lately, I haven't really felt the drive. If I recall correctly, only the esteemed Judge has more.
Some argue that entropy isn't even what it used to be 😬, though my own view is that it has simply become more appealing to certain people 😁 due to their posts, or perhaps we are all just getting older. This is all going downhill again...

The educational ones are... well, whatever the cost may be.

As for the rest, they are in the style of Morgan Campbell4 🙂

So, go ahead. We must do exactly what we desire...

Me, at a measly twenty. 😳

I don't think you and I combined have nearly as much as our friend Judolino. That guy survived two recessions and look at him—still cheerful and talkative. Word on the street is he’s even swapping out moderators, but hey, don't tell anyone. 😲

Honestly, I just realized I’ve been being pretty rude. I’m basically just rambling on about myself. Instead of talking about Buddhism, Inception, or ladybugs. Since this is a chat, we should probably stick to the topic and stay off-topic if we want to keep things on track.

How many pages of red have you collected so far? 😬

Jerry Robinson56 said:It would have been far more prudent if he had looked on the other side of the globe—perhaps in Jamaica.
That said, certain tenets of Buddhism hold merit. Regardless of the specific school.
Let us return to the matter at hand.

How long has this sense of Babbling taken hold of you, and are you silent about the reasons why? 😬
I suspect you harbor the belief that others are taking you quite seriously.

Honestly, I actually enjoy the Babbling. It helps me relax. It’s like a pressure valve for when I'm working through things in my own head. I just hope I don't end up being taken too seriously. 🕺

Jerry Robinson56 said:Haha, well, that depends entirely on where this illumination is coming from—is it shining down upon you? Regardless, may that light follow you wherever you go.
Are you a follower of Buddhism? Or perhaps searching for an ending similar to the conclusion of Kamanit?

No, I'm just Babbling. 🤣

A friend of mine once traveled all the way to India to "find himself." He came back realizing he wasn't actually there. 😲

What grade are you in?

Thomas Phillips88 said:How can anyone possibly disbelieve in Bog?

And how on earth does anyone manage to live without believing in proper grammar? 🙂

Gerald Grant3 said:The absolute worst are the people who think their opinion is the only one that matters. 🤦
Everyone else is just out to ruin the kids and the youth. 😁

A messiah complex can be a pretty tricky thing to deal with. 😁

says:
I honestly think you're mistaken. It isn't really about intelligence; it’s more about how we perceive things.
It's nothing unusual when you run into something unfamiliar, even if that something is just my own self...

The brighter the light, the deeper the shadow. And lately, I feel like I'm radiating enough energy to be Chernobyl. 🕺

Jerry Robinson56 said:you are... sorry,
but you aren't the only one who finds such interruptions aggravating.

Fair enough... I don't really love thinking of myself as the dumbest person in the room, though. I'd much rather just be somewhere in the middle. 🤣

Jerry Robinson56 said:a a a ..

This isn't about some vague dream state. If someone knocks on your door "like that," don't bother asking who it is... you already know. It's you.
But then again, that's just how you choose to perceive it.

I’m really not a fan of people knocking on my door. Especially at this hour. My usual move is to snap first and ask questions later—and if it turns out I was actually the one standing there, then I've really done it now. 😁

Scott Doyle16 said:Peter Unger’s "I think, therefore I am" from Perception and Identity

Well, you've gone and ruined it. Before you brought this up, I was actually pretty convinced that guy didn't even exist. 😁

I gave it a shot once, but it just wasn't happening for me. Lucid dreaming definitely doesn't feel like that. :perf_emoticon:

swiftowl7 said:You're acting totally crazy, man, that's all this is; do you really need us to spell everything out for you?😁

ps: Just do what any desperate guy would do after a situation like this... offer to let her teach you how to love. And tell her if she refuses, you'll just end up running away.

That actually sounds kind of charming... and hey, maybe it's worth a shot. 😉

Smooth move! 🎉

Jerry Robinson56 said:You’ve lost a part of your femininity, you know that—they’ve likely already pointed it out to you. To me, however, it feels like nothing more than mere pretension, though that is strictly my own perspective. I have always found value in drawing parallels to what might actually be true.
It seems to me that, occasionally, something deep within my nature makes a decision entirely independent of my conscious will, acting long before any desire can even manifest.

Indeed, time is an adversary, and one usually realizes this far too late... it is a quiet tragedy, unfolding right before your eyes while remaining completely invisible.

Time is just an illusion. 😁
