Quote from ElectricSavant:Quote from Scientist:
You jumped from dare to confident...do you see how you twist?
Nah, you're just nit-picking semantics now. How nonsensical and trivial.
Scientist, your assuming I do not read every word you post when I take you off of ignore. You cannot twist with me as I see you do to others here on ET, I will not allow it.
How dare you accusing me of twisting people? This is an impertinent accusation.
This is the second time you spoke as to ownership with the familiarity of brother or Bro. This style in America comes off condescending in the context you use it. Perhaps you do not realize how you sound.
Actually, the condescending attitude was entirely intentional, obviously. In case you haven't noticed, everytime I try to talk to you on an even-level, civilized way, you just behave like a complete jerk.
The stars are meaningless. Means nothing to me.
You think? How do you know? May I point out to you that the first part of your sentence is an opinionated, non-factual assertion, whereas the second part is an assertion of personal opinion. Interesting. So which one is it now?
Do I believe in Astrology? Nope. However, character traits of people of different star signs seem too typical to be random. I consistently guess people's starsigns when I meet them just for the fun of it. Did so with my last two girlfriends, and several other friends. Also, try talking to a bunch of women for a while and ask them what zodiac they think you are. You will find that a large % of the time, they'll guess right. How can this be? Coincidence? I have no particularly explanation, but deduce that it might have to do with self-fulfilling prophecy. The fact that I use women in this example is that they are more commonly interested in this topic. That is not meant in a derogatory way, however, but purely observational.
Lieing to others is one thing, but to yourself is truly a disservice to god
Personally, I would disagree on this point. I think lying to others is worse than lying to yourself. However, lying to yourself is a terrible no-no, particularly if you're a trader. Absolute and uncompromised self-honesty is paramount. As for lying to others, well, as they say: "Lies have short legs" or "Liars have to have a good memory". This does particularly apply for you, Electric.
Yes, abstainance from your posts
I think "abstinence" is the word you were looking for?
...what I do during the day now? I work with a group of trial attourney's who sue the likes of you characters in the Jewelry industry, everyday, Scientist.
What exactly do you mean by that? I have always preserved highest quality standards, I only produced highest quality products, and have never defrauded anybody. How rude!
Superior? You really got a problem.... , I could guess, a superiority complex or perhaps an inferiority complex with an earlier Oedipus complex. Question: when you were young did you enjoy being with adults more than your peers in your age level? I can almost guarantee my diagnosis of you now...
I really love the word "superior", to provoke people like you. It's such a nazi word, makes me think of merciless parking inspectors with swastika bands and thick German accents.
Seriously though, interesting you mention Oedipus Complex. So do we actually share an enthusiasm for Freudian Psychoanalysis? Note that Freud considered the Oedipus Complex the cornerstone of the superego and the nucleus of all human relationships. This does also show baffling congruencies with Nietzsche's descriptions of the superego, the human as a superior to god even. Interesting that we're actually back to superiority. Incidentally, excessive authority from one parental part is the prime source of oedipus complex. To answer your question, I have never had such leanings, I have and always had a great and deep relationship with both of my parents. Try narcissistic personality disorder, interlaced with a subtle hint of histrionic personality disorder. I am passionately narcissist, as should be evident in these most recent posts to you. I use narcissism as a conscious way to defend myself against unnecessary relationships, much in the fashion of the bumper-sticker slogan "Fuck off, I've got enough friends!" Exxentricy is a fine way to live a quieter life, in order to enjoy more introspection (and reinforce one's own narcissistic tendencies, to be ironic), and as they say: "Everybody's darling is nobody's darling". However, for those people that personally know me and see right through it, I let my narcissistic shields down, and you would be surprised how different a person I can be.
If you care to re-read the last paragraph, you might come to realize at some point that a lot of what I have said or done here, while coming across as "typical", "arrogant" etc to you, could be nothing but a totally conscious show I put on in order to provoke your likeness. In reality, I might be a totally different person, with totally different attitudes or beliefs, however I enjoy throwing quick-judging people like you a bone to do some "pseudo-diagnostics" on, for the sole purposes of my own amusement, as a result of seeing how psychologically uneducated people have a habitual tendency to label and generalize others in absolute and permanent terms. As a favorite quote of mine goes: "Whatever you do or say, make sure to guarantee that people never get a clear idea of what you truly think or do. Not to cloud people's judgments of your character and doings in order to confuse their intentions of wrong-doing, is to live in an undefended castle." Always keep people lulled wrong impressions of you, as unpredictability is a secret to covert defense, whereas predictability can be deadly. Apart from that, who likes predictable people, anyway?
On a side note, to expand the individually limited scope of Freudian observations, I recommend you study some of Jacques Lacan's work. I personally am a much greater fan of Lacanian Psychoanalysis, as a quasi-successor to Freudian theories. However, this is purely preferential, and you may not agree with this. However, I think if you analyze how Kant found a bridge of inter-ego-id congruencies already a pretty long time ago, you may visualize a connection between Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis which would otherwise not be apparent. To quote Lacan: "The subconscious is structured like a language."
Finally, since you mention ego, the topic of ego and id is probably the best of all to get really riled up about. However, despite many incongruencies in other theories, both Freud and Lacan agree that the ego works to negotiate between reality and unconscious desire by covering up the necessary conflicts which life entails. This is absolutely invaluable information to understand in order to be a self-honest trader. The awareness of the function of ego relative to reality I would almost consider the top-priority to strive for. IMO, it is the key to discretionary trading success.
I need not comment on the rest of this. Too much diatribe.
Enjoy!
o I still need to get more technical?
