 i have a very concrete way of thinking, always have

people say i'm unsophisticated but i say they are hiding their equations

i literally have recurring nightmares about how people hide their equations, they are like treadplates hidden under rubble that you have to pass through to rescue the princess... they manifest in my dreams as giant 20 foot tall skulls and the jaws are hidden under the ground and you never know where they hid the treadplate

it's an impossible conundrum, unless you first agree to always allow the consensus to be elaborated

and it's a toxic relationship if the changes that are permitted are redefinitions

only psychopaths redefine terms

only psychopaths ultimately want to munch you
