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.
