how do you conquer familiarity with yourself?

eat your brain

You mean you want to be more familiar with yourself or you want to rid yourself of this familiarity?

For the first I would suggest just spending lots of "quality" time by yourself. Find what you like, do what you like, don't see other people. Write lots of poetry. I dunno, something of that sort.

For the ladder I am thinking getting terribly drunk or just changing.

actual real answer: NEW PEOPLE ethan, who will reach in and find unexplored dimensions to you

sorry that is a bit hippy but it is true nevertheless

Take large amounts of mind-altering drugs

thank you mark.

personally, i don't find it a problem because i don't know myself much better than i know anyone else.

which is to say, how can anyone be totally familiar with themselves anyway?

Cry and cry and cry, and then you will get bored of crying and feeling sorry because you're bored with yourself and go do something interesting.

one year passes...

is contempt for others a healthy thing, or does it reflect badly on yourself?

ILXOR to thread.

contempt for others was the only thing keeping me going for a long time.

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 27 July 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

No offense, but that's sad, Millar.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 27 July 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

it's also a lie

― Millar (Millar), Sunday, 27 July 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

But that's sad too!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 27 July 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Millar is doing PsyOps on us, Ned.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Writing and travel, though probably not at the same time.

― Prude (Prude), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

MillarBot, maybe. Real Millar is out watching Korean gangster films.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 27 July 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

what dev'lish hands doth programm'd the MillarBot?

His alien masters from the planet Tharg-klot.

I tried breeding contempt once, but couldn't get the emotions to mate.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 July 2003 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

going back to the question, i think *contempt* breeds contempt.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 27 July 2003 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Circular wanking! To the corner with you!

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 27 July 2003 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i like the corner.
ok.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 27 July 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

but actually it's not circular reasoning, it's a causal effect.
Dialectic if you will.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 28 July 2003 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I won't.
