> I am a celebrity to you; you are a celebrity to me.
and in that, isn't really a nice kinda trade for mutual benefit? we both get entertained, and feel like we're important, on some level. that's why e-communities are fun.
> If a person had a GOOD LIFE, would they spend it on here?
for me, it's mostly just that i have broadband internet access wherever i go, and ic ant' take doing nothing for more than a few minutes.
> I know I dissent from the enneagram from time to time. But that is my Six Wing talking. I truly am a Five. I believe it in my heart. Yes, the ultra-logical FIVE believes it in his HEART. I realize my questions about the enneagram are simply a misunderstanding.
as is your referrence to your "6-wing" which you dont' have. there are 18 types, not 9. 54(6) isn't one of them. however, every 5 has some similarities with both 6 AND 4, apart from their wings. 5s and 4s both neglect the doing center. 5 and 6 both identify with their intellect. a 54, thus, will have some similarities to a 6, in that he'll be skeptical, concerned with his anxiety, etc. but a 56 and a 54 are fundamentally different personalities. different aspects of 5ness get more reinforced by the wing.
> I am a Five. The Four and Six wing have battled to control me for a long time. The Four Wing represents my free, artistic, liberal nature while the Six Wing longs for security, rules, and simplicity.
security, rules, simplicity are all 5 things.
> Tonight I romance the counterwing Six and loot my city. Just the other night I threw three shrimp lo mein leftover dinners onto a Lexus SUV?
> Why?
> Cuz I hate rich fuckers.
> And their pretentious wannabe trucks.
and how is that like a 56? that's SO 54, dude. passion, iconoclasm, hatred for the depraved pretentious aesthetic of the commoner's mind, impulsivity as you go to 7. god, it's beautiful.
> Abortion is the more empathic choice; whether or not those Pro-Life freaks want to admit it.
i agree.
> I have a $60 a week habit for pot...I drink everyday..
ok, cory, do you have anyone you can go to for a good headslap? there's no excuse for spending $60 a week on pot. buy more at once, sell half to your friends, smoke for free (or close to it.) i'm not saying that i do this. i don't. neither does cory, mr usa governmental official that reads this. but $60 a week, jeez, that's outrageous, i mean, you could probably get 4 or 8 of whatever you buy for $60 for a lot less than 240 or 480, i'm sure. just dont' get stupid about it. and alcohol will just poison your organs and rot your brain (literally!) stay away from cocaine and speed, too, they're real bad and i've seen friends go down the tubes with that shit. stick to the hallucinogens. they're more intense, cheaper, and less damaging to the body.
> although I think the enneagram must be a bit more liberal. Riso says the descent to 7 is more so symbolic, in that the 5's mind heats up and goes crazy...No...I know differently. I literally become a semi-7 in that I cannot digest life, I become a consumer, and I addict myself to death.
that's it in a nutshell, cory. that's kind of a function of the mind speeding up, tho, while being disconnected from actual reality. we get starved for interaction, and so we just jump from one interaction to another without any appreciation for what we're doing at the moment, just thinking of the next indulgence. in going there, we actually take on the characteristics of 7ness, tho not for the 7's reasons. the point riso makes when he says that it's symbolic is that you don't actually BECOME a 7 permanently. in that state, you're still a 5, but you're acting/thinking/feeling something like a very unhealthy 7.
