I just wanted to thank all you guys in your successful group effort to post less and less interesting stuff in order to help wean me from the addictive nipple of this site. As a return favor before I leave, I promise to contribute a few boring and pointless messages that should inspire other addicts to spend their time doing other things other than reading them.
Thanks again, captain steve

You were involved in making hundreds of clones and secret identities on V4, eh? Your strange brand of humor makes me giggle, much like hundreds of unique user names (that often only lasted one post) made me giggle back in the days before passwords...

It feels much better now. It truly is pointless posting here so much and it makes me dizzy. I need an addiction, but if I'm going to have one, why not choose a better one, I'm reading the selfish gene again from where I last left off and started reading stuff here instead... and starting another book on evolution (alternating between 2-3 makes it less boring). I have 3 fairly new organizations of sound at www.mp3.com/snarkle if anyone is interested in listening to them. They're entertaining but not good enough. Goodbye for now.

Also don't you think there's too much emphasis on the people that create the music rather than the music itself? If you want to get off this aphextwin.nu drug, you have to stop posting though, because if you have a post hanging out there, you HAVE to come back to see if anyone replied... but if you think about it, what reply could really be THAT interesting to read... ..., maybe it's just the chaotic random unpredictability of what will be said by someone else that is addictive, rather than what is actually said. The replies, if any, below this will demonstrate perhaps.

Here are some replies I pulled randomly out of my pocket, which reminds me of this crazy poem where this guy reached into his pocket and was sucked inside:
gorncrower: I tried what you suggested but the toothbrush broke off and got stuck inside my ear! This is the last time I'm taking your advice probably.
dorben kallas: From the things I've read at least this book is "autechre". I havn't heard of developmental systems theory, perhaps dawkings has a book on it?
warlome: I don't know, I've never had an infestation of cabbage patch kids to that degree at least. You might try raid?
danj: Thanks for the ego stroke, "jand is cool", there you go, hope that made your spine less shrivled. My animation <-- is pretty simple to make but I think it's fairly interesting to look at, but it looks better when it's not all smushed into this little box, if you want me to email the unsmushed version to you for about 10 seconds of entertainment that will quickly ware off I will.
Linaurab Eat: I do like your music.
I hope these replies have been satisfactory. Thank you.

MwM ..
not dawkins.
quite a different approach to inheritance than dawkins gene selectionism. quite a head screw, as developmental systems gets rid = ignores the gene/environment dichotomy.

Those dadaist messages were far more interesting than most regular messages. They'd definately make excellent song lyrics. This one's my favorite probably:
I think we should make language kinetic. more about what we think about -- we are the same person yet i don't feel like anything else
we've been dropped off someplace in that weird black hole where ren and stimpy found all the missing left socks in the universe.
with nobody else around like introverted chatbots designed to blow up planets
I read something about dadism once and since I'm a nerd and write down most of the interesting stuff I read here's what I wrote:
dadaism was a protest against all aspects of western culture. It emphasized the role of the unconscious in creative activity. Pure surrealist writers wrote whatever words that came into their conscious minds and regarded these words as inviolable. They didn't alter what they wrote. A short example is the proverb "elephants are contagious". They felt that this free flow of thought would establish a rapport with the subconscious minds of their readers. Pablo picasso was a surrealist artist too. Hmm,... *thinks about sock puppets

Well this paragraph by Gould in the introduction to "evolution: the triumph of an idea" is interesting:
"The task of science is twofold: to determine, as best we can, the empirical character of the natural world; and to ascertain why our world operates as it does, rather than in some other conceivable, but unrealized, way- in other words, to specify facts and validate theories. Science, as we professionals always point out, cannot establish absolute truth; thus, our conclusions must always remain tentative. But this healthy skepticism need not be extended to the point of nihilism, and we may surely state that some facts have been ascertained with sufficient confidence that we may designate them as "true" in any legitimate, vernacular meaning of the word. (Perhaps I cannot be absolutely certain that the earth is round rather than flat, but the roughly spherical shape of our planet has been sufficiently well verified that I need not grant the "flat earth society" a platform of equal time, or even any time at all, in my science classroom). Evolution, the basic organizing concept of all the biological sciences has been validated to an equally high degree, and may therefore be designated as true or factual."
I love when wirters like this just pack their thoughts into the most economical paragraph with the perfect choice of words and stuff. The beginning of most books are like to grab you and then they usually get tired and more casual in their writing, heh heh. I've read some strange theories of evolution, where heads and feet sorta bounced together out of the sky or something weird, but havn't heard of developmental systems theory.

I would but my stupid computer is all messed up, everything got deleted, luckily I saved all my music to cd's. But my animations got deleted so sorry, jand, I know you were begging me to send them to you and offering me a lot of money and sexual favors, but that will not be possible now. Now no sound works at all on my computer, this sucks, I may have to turn to videogames for entertainment until sometime in the future when I have enough money to get my own computer.

we have windows xp professional now too instead of windows 95, this xp totally sucks. Everything about it is retarded compared to the simple ease of 95. Plus everything is shrunk all small, like all the messages here are about 2/3 the size they used to be.

wwm:
developmental systems theory adopts all these new terms. like - the central component in terms of evolution is the "developmental process" - or life cycle (of an organism - although it doesn't exclude that evolution can't occur any other way). the developmental process is comprised of all the developmental resources .. what is inherited is the developmental resources (ie. not the entire process, as the process evolves) .. blah blah blah.
but the main thing is that the resources include genes, environment etc. but doesn't distinguish between genes and environment in a way that the likes of dawkins does. gould and lewontin are champs. shame about your testes .. i'm sure some shots of testosterone will fix you up quite nicely. widen that neck and tighten those hips :)

Motionless, the self eating breakfast remained hidden in developmental process, awaiting the approach of the pulsing conglomerate of unsuspecting silverware. Suddenly, including genes from the infestation of cabbage patch kids, rigorous mating ensued, bla bla bla. The central component tightened a way to change the size of everything.
