A hermit simply prefers his own company to that of others and consequently is alone a lot. Artifacts like computers and the Internet are irrelevant. Not a very compelling argument You don't prefer your own company to that of others. If you preferred your own then you wouldn't be here arguing with other people. The computer would be of no interest to you if it were not populated with people whom you could deride and feel superior to. In order for you to have a sense of self you need these others to compare yourself to. Poor Marika does not understand anything. Does Tom Sherman exist? Does JimmyMac exist? Does Marika exist? Not to me they don't. They are merely printed words that I read on a Usenet newsgroup. The real danger for us hermits is not the non-existence of others, but of our own non-existence. It seems the sense of my own reality becomes more ephemeral with each passing year. It cannot be healthy to be always talking to only oneself, so that is why I burden the rest of you with my mutterings. How else will I know if I exist? The operational word here is BURDEN!!! *How else will you know if you exist. *Take leave of here and with the each passing year we can take turns sending you Thank You cards on your birthday. *DEAL??? JimmyMac as a graduate of a Jesuit institution (Loyola College) should know that psychology without philosophy is a waste of time. I am here to give all of you dumbbells a little philosophy so you won't go out of the world as ignorant as you came into it. JimmyMac was a psychology major with alomst enough hours in philosophty to double major. That woudl be Loyola UNIVERSITY not that an instution of learing i relevant to tis conversation, then again neither is Dolan ... relevant that is. Ed, Try not to let your mind wander. It's too small and fragile to be out by itself. .. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
