Hi guys!
I shouldn’t really be here, but I thought I’d give you the heads-up. It seems we may have a fully self-aware paranoid schizo on our hands. A mild case. Don’t take it too seriously.
Would it be psychosomatic, or neurological? Hmm… is there a difference? Either way, we’re running the blog now. Prepare for poetry. One poem practically every four hours. The poet just let loose. No editing, no review. Existential Angst. And yes, he went for a run, for he decided to not take any chances. A Beautiful Mind? Or The Matrix? Who knows. And, you know what? Who cares! And woe to the first person who calls the poet a Vogon! I’m sure he will improve with time. Nutter. You can skip for a day or two if existential angst is not your cup of tea. Have fun. We certainly have some. Or, some of us certainly do.
Oh, sorry, hi! I’m Jess! The court Jester. I will be your host. You’re in for a rough ride, so fasten your… no, wait, hold onto your seats, there are no seatbelts! Enjoy the ride! Muhahahaha!
(And remember, DON’T PANIC!)

The pantheon? Consists of at least half a dozen. Some of us do not say much though, so who knows when you will run into them. Hugo? He’s the cold, rational one. He has no sense of humour. Dumb-ass.

Schizophrenic =/= Multiple Personality disorder.
Hugo, you might find this interesting when you have about an hour: Daniel Dennet talking about believing in belief at AAI 2007. It made me think of you, anyway.

Hugo? Who is Hugo? Hugo is here no longer.
And I? The poet?
I understand.
Who knows what the diagnosis is.
Labels. They are labels.
Beware of the label!
But I thank you.
It may be too late for me.
But, may the others see.
Listen to Dennet.
He may be a prophet, you know?

Be good…
Good.

Ben, I’m busy watching it. It looks promising, thanks for the link.
*sigh*, lousirr, you loser. Seems like you think you’re a poet or something.

Ben, thanks again, Daniel Dennet was interesting. I can’t exactly label myself with any of his bright/super/murky labels though. Also, the last bit of the second video, the last eight minutes, reminded me personally of some of the tactics employed at “creationism seminars”, so I didn’t like that very much. Either way, nobody’s perfect. (Or is that too biblical a perspective *grin*.)
With regards to Schizophrenic and MPD, I’m aware of that. I have a pretty good idea what paranoid schizophrenia is, and have good reason to mention it, in jest. But yes, it is in jest. Mentally, I’m quite healthy (though, how healthy is the average human?), one weekend of wierdness, due to stress and lack of sleep and disillusionment about humanity, was just a particularly remarkable experience. (And I was self-aware about it.)
I don’t think I’m going to spend time explaining where I differ from Dennet, I need to pick my battles.
