Hi.

After about a month of everyday partying I felt exhausted by my constant analytic perception of waaay too many stimuli at the same time. I then decided I must condition my thinking by pretty much isolating myself from others. At least for a while.

I know that if I let the quest for meaning, that my brain so badly wants to follow, occur, I will most likely end up in constant unwanted nihilism.

I rarely meet people whose thinking I really appreciate. And I'm hoping to find some of those here :)

So, people, tell me stuff I haven't heard and stuff I haven't thought of. please

If this is anything interesting, I just learned a lot about Reductio Ad Hitlerum and other fallacies due to a derail from a conversation about MacBeth with an ENFJ. I looked up some fallacies on Wikipedia. Essentially, Reductio Ad Hitlerum is a logical fallacy that is calling someone a Nazi or Hitler in an argument. It's derived from Godwin's Law, which states that in almost every Internet argument, someone's going to call someone a Nazi. I just found this particularly interesting. If you look up fallacies on Wikipedia, you'll probably get better in debate by being able to point out said fallacies.

Stop being such a Nazi about Reductio Ad Hitlerum. In most Internet arguments that doesn't happen. You're a fallacy.;)

Perhaps the fallacy is in the fact that it is natural for someone in a group to behave like a Nazi when seeing that there is no other Nazi present in said group.

I've given up on debating. I pretty much just debate my own thoughts nowadays because I see no point behind debating the points of others, mostly because I think they're unimportant. That of course is because I am a Nazi myself in this sense. :rolleyes:

Btw, this is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for when joining the forum though. :)

Welcome easily-amused. I hope you'll easily find that the forum is amusing.
