Ok, I invented this diagram recently in a chat with Ham. Where do YOU fall? Code: Asshole Not an Asshole ____________________________________________________________________ | spuriousmonkey | | | | GeoffP | | | | | | | Intelligent | | | | | | |__________________________________ |______________________________ | | | | | | | | kadark | draqon | Unintelligent | | | | | | | | | |__________________________________ |_______________________________|
Maybe we should put an x-y coordinate system on this thing. I mean, everybody is a linear combination of asshole and intelligent. I propose this: scale your intelligence from 0 to 1, and your assholetude from 0 to 1. Call intelligence x and assholetude y. Then we have \(| member \rangle = x | intelligence \rangle + y | asshole \rangle\), with \( | intelligence \rangle\) and \(| asshole \rangle\) properly orthogonal eigenstates, which are properly normalized. Then the amount of asshole in the member is given simply by \(\langle asshole | member \rangle = x\). Of course, \(\langle asshole | intelligence \rangle = \langle intelligence | asshole \rangle = 0\). Either way, Absane, this will help you when you learn about quantum mechanics Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! =============== Added in edit: We should also probably demand that the state \(| member \rangle\) is properly normalized, such that \(\langle member | member\rangle \equiv x^2 + y^2 = 1\)
Ben, Try code tags for formatting: Code: Asshole Not an Asshole ______________________________________________________ |..........................|..........................| |.....spuriousmonkey.......|........GeoffP............| |..........................|..........................| |..........................|..........................| Intelligent |..........................|..........................| |..........................|..........................| |__________________________|__________________________| |..........................|...... ...................| |..........................|..........................| |.........kadark...........|.........draqon.......... | Unintelligent |..........................|..........................| |__________________________|__________________________|
Thanks James...I tried the code tag first, but I couldn't get the spacing correct. I figured out that using a text editor is the way to go.

i would agree with thatPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! You just froze my computer some how. The combination of your PM, editing the post i was trying to work on ect caused my internet to crashPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! defenitly something an asshole would doPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
BTM, It's most stunningly apparent, there's a lot of members who reside outside the box - peta-parsecs away, in the general south westerly direction. I think you need a bigger box, man.
Needs a series of questions to evaluate where the user falls on the scale . I could think of a few examples (chuckle) 1. If you see a puppy running across a busy street, and it's in danger of being hit by oncoming traffic, do you try to save it? -------Yes / No / deaths sweet sorrow / Only if it doesn't belong to James R ------- 2. A woman's place in society is: ------- kitchen / career / cunt / I wish I could get laid ------ 3. Solve for x: 30(x) = 30 ------ 1 / 30 / yes / I don't care ------ 4. The hominid genus "homo erectus" existed during what period in geologic time? ------ Permian / Pleistocene / why can't I find a woman / early humans were gay ------
you forgot the option for the earth was only created last year for the religious nutsPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! That being said i did hear an interesting philosphy that suggested the world is compleatly recreated each second, that the past and the future dont exist and that only NOW does. Interesting thought experiment if nothing morePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
