Original Alear Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Holy shit, it looks like the new forum upgrade allows us to view our postcount. Ya fuck this place is now the best. Time to come back and be active so my postcount will go up. Will also test if this postcount is based on our fftf posts by posting again right away. Sorry if other fftf topics exist already (on this first page even? could be) on this crucial issue. EDIT-I know there probably was a way of checking on the old SF, but now I'll be constantly reminded of my output...

Original Alear Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) 4076 posts? Ya, I doubt that counts our fftf posts. EDIT-Ya it doesn't. Edited January 18, 2017 by HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 since comment feeds got erased wat do u think of harlan elison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Gonna try and reproduce what I said, and thanks, because I saw that. I don't really have a thought regarding Harlan Ellison worthy of consideration - I haven't read something by him. If it makes any sense, I think the closest I've come is Phillip K Dick (based on very vague feeling for what Ellison writes about). I really think Dick is a good writer, though I feel like I've forgotten most of my memories of his books. And based on a really rough impression I got, Ellison might be a bit like a Hunter S Thompson, who I've also never read (reject if incorrect). I like Blade Runner and LOVE Snatcher but I probably love DADOES more than both. I could definitely get around to reading something by him (Ellison) in the next few months - my reading backlog feels short enough I don't bother keeping track of it. If you want to suggest something, just comment or reply. I do find reading about some of Ellison's antics on wikipedia interesting, to say the least (entertaining?). I wouldn't want to get on his bad side. That doesn't necessarily make for a bad writer, though. I think I said something else in my comments but I dunno what.

Makaze Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) My quality / quantity ratio must be perfect outside of this forum. Edited January 19, 2017 by Makaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute entirety of existence's, the all...its perfection is unquestionable but ungraspable, present only in its entirety. Only ALL quantity can express ALL quality. A mote of existence expresses itself imperfectly and reflects imperfectly other motes of existence - though this imperfection is illusory, only apparent because of our imperfect perception which is imperfect only because we imperfectly grasp our perception itself. Your quantity/quality ratio is perfect, but to none of us, you included, shall it ever appear so, nor shall any person's. No one will ever produce a consistent explanation of imperfection in any instance ever, but we shall perceive all that we seek to explain as imperfect. Imperfection is the only untruth, and seems the only truth. Edited January 20, 2017 by HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you are construing my post as stating something contradictory to this. I think the sum of all possible knowledge would not be the sum of all that is possible. The fact that I'm clarifying that I think so may give you some indication of why I'm confused. I don't think I can prove the sum of all possible knowledge as an actual amount, but based on what people seem to refer to when they speak about knowledge, it seems persuasive that knowledge cannot account for the particles which make up its constitution? It sometimes seems troublesome to assume any knowledge without knowledge of all - and all possible knowledge seems like it would be unable to reach that point. Sorry if I fail to reply to your statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised my post count was as high as it is, to be honest, especially since so many of my posts are in FftF. And I noticed the Introduction page doesn't count towards post count, either.
