weird (adj.)

c. 1400,

• "having power to control fate", from wierd (n.), from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates," literally "that which comes,"

• from Proto-Germanic wurthiz (cognates: Old Saxon wurd, Old High German wurt "fate," Old Norse urðr "fate, one of the three Norns"),

• from PIE wert- "to turn, to wind," (cognates: German werden, Old English weorðan "to become"),

• from root wer- (3) "to turn, bend" (see versus).

• For sense development from "turning" to "becoming," compare phrase turn into "become."

All is mind and all is mental. Reality is made of my mental commitments.

Do you see, then, how asking me to define your mental commitments is subservience?

Or do you dare to request that I exert myself for an internet stranger "Simple_Ad_3"?

Ah....

Yes there is that sort of issue with having "casual" conversation...this subreddit (scratching head)

The thing is for me that the mind of most others is boring and useless. I see they wait a lot for "mental changes" they don't acess the full benefits of this life to gain themselves the most power. Power of imagination, stuff like that, principles and trans-lifetime knowledge.

At least if they are useless, they could be interesting or inspirational, or stimulating in some way, perhaps innovative. Then I can use it in my own style because I have enough imagination to do it. Mainly though, where's the use? I prefer substance instead of frills, usually.

This is casual conversation for me. This is my first life in-carnata so I'm enthusiastic about going beyond the limits of physical form and to experience a good foundation in my knowledge for following lifetimes, if I go incarnata again.Wbu? What's your intrigue with mental ideation, weird ways, etc etc (or whatever is your model of understanding? I really don't know what the popular stuff is these days, been doing my own thing for a while lol )

What "convention" are you referencing? Is it the "physical setups" that might be pragmatic? Or something else? Is referring to convention as convention ....part of the convention? hahaha wow, that doesn't need to be confusing.

What exactly do you mean ? Again, as i said before not in the sense of defining things for me, but for sake of talking and such.

I mean exactly what I wrote. This is why I thought perhaps you want me to structure your mind for you. You are opening up more opportunities to structure that which need not be structured further. I already said it *exactly* as I meant it. Therefore further explication would require additional exertion and the opportunities for expansion are endless.

Rather than asking me to expand in a shallow question like "what exactly do you mean" which reveals that absolute lack of effort to participate in the conversation and only to banally extend the chitter chatter, you could ask a structured question yourself. I simply am not, will not, am utterly disinterested in, doing all the work.

That is the humor I see in casual conversation about mental governance over reality and similar subjects. Well, please, reveal the ways in which every single thought or moment of expression is not an impactful command upon the proceedings?

Do you get the implication I am pointing to here? How to do it?

Someone needs to get vulnerable and open up the dialogue to the possibility of being incorrect, making a mistake, or otherwise in other ways losing grip on reality, control of it, or opportunities to structure the way things are.

That someone is me, and see how it's only me in this dialogue who is doing so. Rather than attempting to structure my expression with your questions in an overly basic way, you could simply *share your perspective* or otherwise structure questions more intelligently to make it worth the dialogue.

That's not to say that you are not intelligent or don't have anything worthwhile to say. Not at all. I'm not saying that. I'm not implying it either.

I'm saying, you seem to be unwilling to let go of mental authority and thus, the only dialogue we can possibly have is a battle of minds, debate bullshit, not expressing or sharing but rigidly sharpening mental blades.

To be very crude about it, you are asking digestive questions and it's never going to be interesting to participate in someone else's digestion since they get all the nutrients and you get all the shit.

Do you get what I'm saying? (Still casual talking this jumbo mumbo, I'm just spouting off stuff that comes to mind not over thinking it, all in one go. I carefully crafted the original comment I made which hasn't sprouted yet, I refuse to put in more effort until I see it worth my while.)
