What is differant about me?

If I draw a geometric figure on a sheet of graph paper, I seduce the
equations from the image. I don't memorize equations. This works pretty
well up to about differential equations or so but after that most of the
math is circuit diagrams. It's easy to tell if there are others like me
because we're the only ones who squirm around during gory safety lectures.
It's the same with words, basically. Words have more meanings to me than
most people.

What I want is to have fun while being committed to my method which is
sadism but it is proving to be more stressful than I had anticipated. Majic
is means to achieve compliance.

All humans are more or less insane, including delusional.
We come built that way by evolution. We then function
better within the constraints of evolution. Several examples
(there are many more ) :
1. Breeding requirements are especially imperative.
2. Also imperative is our personal brain based virtual reality
with various representational attributes called qualia and
experienced as an illusion of reality to the extent of being
delusional.
3. "Feelings". The information here could be more direct.
4. Religious experiences. Our brains are built to need these.
5. ...

Firstly, they are not 'boring' or 'mundane' activities by any stretch
of the imagination. Most human beings, after they've gone through
puberty, become less curious as they get older. Childhood is usually
the apotheosis of most humans 'curiosity'. Those who manage to retain
the habit of hanging a question mark at the end of some of our most
treasured beliefs are usually geniuses, like da Vinci, possibly the
most inquiring mind ever. And to attribute that inquiry, to insanity,
is not only malicious bad-faith, it irrationally condemns his
achievements.

Why would a physical object 'need' an illusion?

Everyone who posts to Usenet is doing nothing but demanding attention. The
question is, Is it possible to *command* the attention that everybody is
demanding? ORDER, ORDER... I MUST HAVE ORDER ON THE INTERNET... *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*... ORDER, ORDER... I MUST HAVE ORDER ON THE INTERNET... *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*... ORDER, ORDER... I MUST HAVE ORDER ON THE INTERNET...
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*... ok, now start listening to the important things that
I've been saying, ok?
