I think the real challenge is not lying to yourself. We probably do this a hundred times a day. We believe things inserted into our consciousness by other people or entities, or because we are conditioned to want to feel good about who and what we are. We entertain irrational fears about the consequences of some looming but unquantified retribution, success or failure, being unpopular or appearing stupid. We prefer to blame others for our shortcomings - parents, educational institutions, et.al. We have created a matrix of protective internal measures that reinforce and perpetuate these lies.
If you one day realize you know nothing (or in my case every few days) it should be a good day. I'm not saying this initially feels good. It doesn't and it shouldn't. But then you have a legitimate place to start learning more. I'm not going to lie to you. This is a process that may take a lifetime.>>
I have blamed, do blame and will blame the PUBLIC FOOL system. But that does NOT mean I don't have responsibility in all of this.
I have accepted SURETY when I never had a clue what that meant, or the implications of the exponential function of billions of other idiots doing the same.
TL/DR
Scott has changed my life more than anyone ever. That's a fact Jack.
It took me a couple of years to figure out. :(
Thanks to Scott, the answer was always in front of my/our face. He NEVER hid it. And even though he told us/me, I couldn't hear it. I couldn't see it. He could say it plainly; as plainly as it CAN be said, and I still could see it.
In fact, he posted the answer AGAIN AND AGAIN and I still didn't have a fucking clue.
I confess that secretly, I thought he was a tad arrogant. I apologize Scott. That was a a FUCKING BIG MISTAKE!!
Only if an Admin or Scott tells me to.
But I will tell you this....If you REALLY REALLY GET IT, here in REALITY it will CHANGE EVERYTHING in your life.
HINT: I think it's worth figuring out for yourself.
Yes Pete. (Y)
It's APPARENT that I misspoke, in that I didn't create a hint that quite as effective as it might have been to serve the #1 priority.
All i meant is that I KNOW this isn't my page, and even though I don't want to blurt it out, I know, here in REALITY that I may be asked to serve an Admiral or a Captain, or else - I might find myself face to face with some carp. :)
Pete.
I was just crying (a bit of a tear welled up) with UBER happiness.
Why did my body react to this new knowledge and the possibilities of two life changing epiphanies in one day? To be honest, here in REALITY...I DON"T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE. ;)
Stop with the trick questions, Pete Daoust. I already admitted I do not know why.
Therefore, Scott is ALWAYS right because he has a HUGE dick, and/or has DONE the math , and/or is QUALIFIED.
Try it Leigh Collins !!!! :D
For one COMPLETE week, do NOT lie, never, for one week....you might end up not talking very much, but you'll be RIGHT.... :D
Harry, your post offends me on several levels. You are doing the Adam Thomas equivalent of "buck-o-five"; but the information you are apparently holding over everyone's head is not even original. Scott always tells the truth and always discloses information. You may be doing one of these things, but certainly not both. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, say nothing. You have not earned the right to arrogantly demean others in this group.
Apologies to the group - I'm out of smokes.
I meant no offense. HONESTLY!
Please forgive me. :/ I'll "fix" this now.
SCOTT IS ALWAYS RIGHT BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER LIE.
He will NEVER "pull shit out of" his "ass".
If he doesn't know, he will do one of ONLY two things:
1. SAY NOTHING
2. Admit he doesn't know.
That is a large PART of it, but I am right about what is to come, and I am right about things that have not happened before. Being honest won't navigate THOSE waters!
You only have a piece. You don't have the whole thing by a longshot!
I apologize Tara.
Henceforth, I will do my very best to never LORD over people with information. I just realized I have almost countless bad habits that relate to this thread.
I did say that. And to tell you the RIGHT ANSWER, I never wrote that I would MESSAGE you here on facefuck privately. What I DID say was:
"I've got something to share with you in PRIVATE, but it won't be the answer to why Scott is ALWAYS right. "
Scott grasps the exponential function and has the power and knowledge of computer science (the answer to everything) at his disposal. With those two points alone he cannot only see what's coming but he can plan for it, therefore he will always be right... Scientists don't "guess"...
No worries, Harry. I'm glad you're getting value from the group. Special thanks to Leigh Collins for providing a practical illustration of "extortion" :D
I thought to myself just after posting that posing theories is a form of guessing alright... Al Bartlett's lecture, which I watched yesterday, gave me a better understanding of Scott's insight on the future...
Think about this one�.
(Parents to their children)
You need to get good marks in school, so you can have access to a better job, so you can make more money, so you can have a decent living :D
Is this TRUE ?
I remember, the first year I went to school. They would call the name PIERRE DAOUST very loud, and I had to raise my hand and say PRESENT�.. :D good training !!! :D
The truth would have been. Teacher: Pierre from the DAOUST organization, and then I would say, Yeah, that's "me" :D
This DAOUST organization is still being organized, it never stops... :/
Harry Wombat, somehow you think that your bad taste in music is relevant to this discussion.
Unless I see you on the Admin list, you don't get to post the irrelevant, in video form. This is one of those "Do as I say, not as I do" things. I just don't lie about it. This isn't a Democracy, and we most certainly are not equals.
It is an autocracy, and fascist state. I just don't lie about it.
MY TIME: MY RULES.
I put the grueling admission tasks so we could rid ourselves of the chaff. Battlefield time "gets you in the door". It does NOT give you ANY discretion at ALL.
Forgive me if you were somehow lead to believe that.
Wrong group. The "reds" are in the Battlefield 2142 group, which I am too cool to shamelessly promote.
OH SURE, I COULD put a link (Like this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rs2142/?fref=ttfl ) and I would be well within my rights to do so!
...but I'm taking the high road!
You're welcome.
That was on behalf of all those who gave value to this thread. This INCLUDES and is LIMITED TO the following TENDER FOR LAW members:
1:Scott Duncan
So on behalf of those members...
You're welcome.
The Piece-of-Shit Christians still read this group by the hundreds.
They're just muzzled. It's nice. I get to point out that I'M BETTER THAN JESUS because I ACTUALLY GIVE REAL FUCKING ANSWERS, and I'M NOT IMAGINARY!
...and all the Piece-of-Shit Christians can do is tremble in impotent fury, as I rub their hypocrisy in their faces. How does that feel, Piece-of-Shit Christians? How does it feel knowing your "all knowing" imaginary friend can't give you the same insight I have?
How does it feel, KNOWING that what I say is right, and there's no way to benefit from that knowledge, without you admitting that your Piece-of-Shit Christian "god" is just an inherited delusion, and that you are the piece of shit I say you are?
HOW DOES THAT FEEL?
...oh that's right! YOU CAN'T ANSWER! :D
Pete Daoust "For one COMPLETE week, do NOT lie, never, for one week....you might end up not talking very much,.... :D"
This is a bit harder than what I thought would be
Very much so. It's too easy to just start talking, well I guess, bullshit for lack of a better word. Starting to realise i know nothing. It's all just shit backed up by nothing
I submit that not lying to others is actually really easy - you can tell the truth, or you can say nothing. Simple enough. This assumes you know what is true.

If I might make a suggestion, it is "normal" to regret the things you have, or have not, done; and predictable to want to wallow in the emotional angst associated with time lost, opportunities missed, or how you came to be where you are. There are some mighty fine endorphin responses to be had in this state. However, the popularity of self-help books and psychiatrists attest to the dangers of languishing in this state for too long. Try to abbreviate this process as it too, is a programmed non-secular construct...and the endorphin rush of accomplishment is much nicer.
Coles Notes advice: Question everything, research as necessary, adjust as required, and then move on.
Cute? :/ I thought Epiphany was cute when I first met her. She's not cute anymore. But, she is adorable. She's like a 400lb gorilla that you wake up with along with a hangover. She's a stinking hairy ape monkey I can't get off my back, BUT, I do "love" her and she's all mine. ;)
She settling in nicely btw (aka she's moved in, making a mess, wreaking havoc, and taking complete control of everything and behaving like a total dictator). She's allowed herself the freedom to avoid any hesitation whatsoever about repeatedly hitting me on the head and telling me what an idiot I am - especially when I think of something idiotic to say. Reminds me of Scott that way. Oh, and get this; whenever I have company, she is such a darling - she's granted herself an irrevocable license to whisper insults in my ear about my friends, with questions like "How'd you end up with this idiot?" Isn't she a peach!? :)
I thought my comment was insightful, but in retrospect Harrry really nailed it. You should just skip to his comment if you are reading this thread in reverse.
That was actually supposed to be funny. However, when you ask if "some folks actually do that?", some folks actually do just about everything including things you wouldn't have thought of yourself. For an illustration, see Rule 34.
