It's good that you and Seedy's minds work similarly to each
others. Mine doesn't. I have to track down things to extreme
precision on a regular basis and analyze every possible
misinterpretation of a statement. Am I a lawyer? No. I live in a
house of grown women who fight and also have had to break up
fights with kids and find out "what really happened". I can't
take things at face value. Impossible for me now. That part is
broken and I have to analyze everything. I envy you and Seedy
honestly. I always have to fill in context explicitly. I'm
allowed very few implicit assumptions. Before I _speak_ I have
to ask myself, "How can this get misinterpreted?" Then I have to
try to come up with a perfect set of words with no ambiguity,
that could be understood by an angry 35 yr old woman or a 10 yr
old kid. No Philosophers here. Not that what Seedy wrong is
invalid; it's not. But it's incomplete. If it was obvious, how
could I question it? Consider that. Your guys were trained alike
that's why you think alike, even if you went to different
schools at different times.I see patterns but I might not see
them the same way as you. When I was 10 years old, I failed
repeatedly at "What is the author's intent?"
I notice patterns but I noticed different ones that the test was
expecting of me. I suspect I'm on the autistic spectrum, likely
Aspergers, more and more.
Everything explicit. I'll find patterns and I might even reach
the same conclusions, but I'll go about things a different route
than most people, everytime. [usually I got as far away as I
can, then come back, changed. ; every bit of research is an epic
journey in itself, a Joseph Campbell Monomyth in the Quest fo
Truth and I have to reevaluate fresh every time.
