18:26		*** AilenNick is now known as AilenNich
18:29		*** dk57 was kicked by laceless` (Sorry for the delayed boot, I was preparing sourdough)
18:32	AilenNich	This channel has a lot of problems.
18:32	u-ou	math problems?
18:33	AilenNich	A lot of people online are extremely interested in banning people from chatrooms.
18:33	laceless`	As do you, raindonna / AilenNich .  You are the most classic example of a cluster-B-afflicted individual whom I've ever encountered.
18:33	Sooner

18:33	AilenNich	It seems useful to conceive of this an epidemic of poor mental health/civic virtue.
18:33	laceless`	Who got banned, AilenNich ?
18:34	AilenNich	laceless`: If you would like to engage me in a conversation, please demonstrate over a continuous six month period that you can handle dissent and manage your emotions.
18:34	Sooner	why six months?
18:34	AilenNich	It seems a reasonable estimate.
18:35	Sooner	seems arbitrary
18:35	AilenNich	Well, what are our choices?
18:35	Sooner	and a meaningless number
18:35	AilenNich	We can say 'There are no consequences for failing to do behavior X with me'.
18:35	Sooner	maybe you are in no position to demand anything from anyone
18:35	AilenNich	That is, we need the other to demonstrate behavior X for a continuous period of 0 time.
18:35	fieryUSA	ailenich, be honest.  you are that dry brit woman who used to host that old, lame gameshow "the weakest link", aren't you?
18:36	dk57	alienich is nigel farage
18:36	AilenNich	Sooner: I have enqueued your demand topic into the chat queue.
18:36	AilenNich	The current head is 'Why six months?'
18:36	AilenNich	Some worldviews like Buddhism advocate, eventually, getting to 0 time.
18:36	AilenNich	That is, you are entirely in the present and completely unaffected by the actions of others -- they can do anything because everything is empty.
18:37	AilenNich	Almost no humans are at this level.
18:37	AilenNich	So, I have proved >0 days.
18:37	AilenNich	The opposite extreme is 'forever/life'.
18:37	AilenNich	Humans are actually pretty keen on lifetime decisions, because they can tell themselves a story about how they will 'never be hurt again'.
18:37	AilenNich	It's ultimately false and counterproductive.
18:37	AilenNich	As Buddhists would say, There is no ground on which to stand.
18:37	AilenNich	So, I have proven <lifetime
18:38	fieryUSA	aww snap.  thad cochran goes down!
18:38		*** AilenNich was kicked by laceless` (Boring.)
18:38		!!! You have been kicked from #obama
18:38		*** AilenNich joined #obama

18:39	AilenNich	I am capable of going into more depth, however, that doesn't seem useful at this time.
18:39	u-ou	my maths teacher’s name is Boris
18:39	AilenNich	I am ready to dequeue from head.
18:39	laceless`	Go have a nice glass of bleach, AilenNich
18:39	AilenNich	u-ou: Do you like mathematics?
18:39	u-ou	yes
18:39	AilenNich	Me too.
18:39	AilenNich	I'm currently taking a class on Gaussian processes (among other things).
18:40	Sooner
18:40	|werejag|	Sooner lol yep
18:40	AilenNich	What have you been learning about in mathematics, u-ou
18:40	dk57	spacex launch at 11:33PM CST
18:40	u-ou	algebra
18:41	fieryUSA	that is the best barbed wire ever.  really, really great barbed wire.
18:41	laceless`	They're called "normal", not "gaussian", you last-century nitwit
18:41	dk57	no landing though
18:41	AilenNich	There are many kinds of algebra
18:41		--- laceless` has banned *!*@ircip1.mibbit.com
18:41	laceless`	Enough soap-box lecturing from that ignoramus
18:42	Joey	heh
