how many thinking types are there?

[@BeaMeUpMrScott]

Some people take a long time to listen... some people can act in 0 time. There are no "others". we are all weirdos.

That thing about Alex Jones -- am I understanding you correctly? Anyone can lose their train of thought if you interrupt or distract them enough, right? All the Alex Jones story means to me is some people are easier to mess with in this way than others are, but everyone's like this to a detectable degree. The guy who doesn't seem to notice (not great wording, but you know what I mean) everyone pointing at the answer to the thing he's trying to figure out is definitely not everyone. I usually don't get so focused that I don't realize everyone's telling me the answer, but I do like to figure things out for myself and try not to lose my train of thought. Once I've thought it out, I'll listen and compare notes. Just because someone else thinks they got to the answer before I have doesn't mean they're right. I'll think for myself, tyvm. The no hole people are also pretty much everyone, but not to such an extreme degree. I think some people are just more resistant to that kind of pain. Also it's probably more painful if that wrong idea is something you're more attached to.

G'day Earl, Welcome to Psychiatry & Psychology... Huge Walls of "Pigeon-holes", each one with a Label, and each one for people who "always" think in ONE particular way... Philosophy is a matter of fashions and preferences in how to explain how much Selfishness is too much, and whyfore thus be so. Phoolosofollies, is a good descriptive phonetic heading for the entire wall of Pigeonholes... Desertphile recently posted a triumphantly smug Video, showing off his brand new stash of disposable (petrochemical) Earplugs ; boasting of how he'd had enormous amounts of satisfaction and glee from wandering around feigning Deafness in his regular Stupormarked, stocking up on processed Food... Posted early in Error. ... His story was that there is Nothing which Anybody in his favourite Stupormarket is ever capable of saying - in which he will have ANY Interest in hearing, at all, whatsoever ; so therefore he is pre-emptively excluding whatever they think to say to him, by rendering himself temporarily stone Deaf - whenever he goes out to interact with the rest of the 8 Billion. I asked him if he were consciously and deliberately competing for the Self-righteous Hubristic Arrogant Selfish Misanthropic Elitist Arsehole-Of-The-Week Award ...? Or if it was "merely" a FLASH !!! of the underlying Autism showing off it's Turbocharged Little Head...? I mentioned my father's maxim, that the World's greatest Fool can ask Questions which the World's Cleverest and most Learned Sages cannot answer...; and I enquired as to how he thought he could predict what Strangers might want to ask him, or to share with him...? What was he thinking ? Apart from, "me me me me me me me me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME MEEEE MEEEEE MEEEEEEE !" My speculation is that there are 8 billion humans, so there are 8 billion ways to think....; but others might well disagree With me On that...(!). "There are only two kinds of people in the World..., Those who THINK that there are only Two kinds of people in the World....; And the people who KNOW BETTER..., than that Simplistic Bullshit...(!). Life's pretty funny, actually, as seen from my new perspective as a Zombie...; I just spent a fortnight delivering Palliative Care to my daughter's 17 y.o. one-eyed Cat, which has Mouth Cancer...; and the Cat is still happy to be alive and enjoying his Cat-hood, and 'Liz. successfully visited her German Grandmother for a week, during the height of the EuroPeon Natives' Fighting-Season...( the entire Trip occurred between the Anniversaries of Operations Overlord - the D-Day Landing at Normandy..., and Barbarossa - Germany's invasion of the USSR...; and while she was on the Train/Bus home from Sydney the Wagner Mercenaries mutinied and Russia began balkanizing into an impenetrable Swamp of Wannabe Regional Warlords - a Cyrillic re-run of China in the 1920s & '30s, apparently...(?). One wonders what the Hell it is that they Think they're all Thinking...; Methunketh...? Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

As soon as I got to that particular part, I immediately thought of something Mr. Earplugs might actually want to hear: "LOOK OUT!!"

@@thethegreenmachine G'day, Thanks...! Yeah..., I agree, fully...; and not only but Also..., it's New Mexico, in the Excited Status of Norte ArmedmeriKano... That Country where the Per-Capita rate of Dying by Gunshot is 14 times (1,400%) higher than it is, here in Oz. I sometimes have people shooting on the other side of my boundary Fences..., and one can tell a LOT from the sounds one hears...; from the Calibre and nature of the Firearm (Rimfire, Centrefire, Rifle or Shotgun, "low, medium, or high-powered", firing towards or away from or to one side if the other...; and if multiple Shots then one can also guess informedly at the purpose for which the Gun is firing - Hunting, Formal Target Practice, Sighting in a new Telescopic Sight, Plinking, or Mag.-Dumping an illegal Semi-Automatic at a Road-Sign after finding no Animals prepared to stand still for Live-Target Practice... If I had to shop for Food in 'MurriKa(!), Then I'd be Hyper-Vigilant and wanting to See & Hear EVERYTHING...; in order to better notice If/when one of the Dreaded Yanquis might perhaps possibly Commence their Ballistic Temper Tantrum, and begin Shootin' at MOI...!?!?!? Buggar deafening oneself before wandering around an Omnidirectional 360°, 365 days per year, Freefire Shooting Gallery populated by Self-obsessed Narcissists - 40% or so of which are armed to the teeth, permanently carrying Weapons loaded and ready, in case they At ANY Time Should choose to decide to declare that they Felt, "Oh so TEWWIBWY VEWY "FWIGHTENNNED...!" That in order to make themselves FEEL BETTER, They had "No other Option" But to Empty their Gun into Whomsoever or Whatsoever the Craven bloody Coward was to Patriotically too Shitscared to dare to Share the Planet with... Maybe Dave is feelin' Suicidal, and he's goanna wander around Yanquiland pretending to be Deaf, until he gets Mugged...? Suicide by refusal to Listen ? Like the people who tried to visit the Titanic's Wreck in a Jerry-built uncertified Plastic Cracker-Barrel... They made a point of not listening, so they did ; ignoring everybody who actually knew how to build SAFE Bathyspheres - because Dunning-Kreuger Effect is SO MUCH MORE Effective at 6,100 PSI and surrounded by Delaminating Carbon Fibre...! I'm not quite as Autistic as All That ! Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

@@WarblesOnALot I've lived here all my life, and I've never been worried about getting shot or any other sudden, bad things. It's not like I don't think these things can happen. We had a pretty bad storm a few days ago. They always get me wondering if a tornado is gonna come wreck the house, but I don't think about it when there isn't a storm.
