Conversation Between Doctordick and ldsoftwaresteve

Thanks for your comment; however, one should not depreciate "squirrel thought". Though such conclusions cannot be shown to be internally consistent they are none the less the true source of our worldviews which you have to admit work quite well. They have been developed through survival and thus are pretty consistent with survival (with an occational error here and there). What I mean here is that it is exactly the illogical behavior we need to be careful about changing: i.e., when you don't understand why you react in a certain way, don't be quick to change; it could be a dangerous thing to do.

I have said somewhere that logical analysis is valuable but, when my life is on the line, I don't believe logic is the way to go. I would much rather go with my gut. So there is a certain value to holding on to things that don't seem to fit; perhaps they do fit and we just don't understand why.

First, let me say that most of what I've learned on hypography can be traced back to the posts you've made and your conversations with AnsiH. AnsiH's posts have affected me too.

So few worldviews are consistent. It's like a disease or a bad smell. Innocence is lost the moment we believe it's ok to be impure.

I guess I just wanted to thank you for being so consistent. When I get involved in 'discussions' with others, I can only say that I wish they were more like you. I mean, what's the point of holding on to something that doesn't fit?

So, thanks DD.
