thought a thread of annoying propositions would very likely not be worth doing, so did it anyway

example

people ignore more than they could possibly understand

another

I am mostly what I don’t know

That’s why they ignore it.

How about.

Propositions that are intended to be annoying are almost always less annoying than propositions that are unintentionally annoying.

Would you like some more? I’m sure I can come up with annoying random propositions if required.

I should add here that the two propositions stated by transition are self-evidently true. So I don’t see why they should be annoying.

The first is self evidently true because sensory input greatly exceeds long term memory capacity.

The second could be taken as just a restatement of the Johari window. But is better seen as a comment on the practical limits on consciousness, ie. only a small fraction of our nervous system is accessible in a positive feedback loop because otherwise we’d be in a permanent state of epilepsy.

Yes, it’s quite annoying the way transition’s annoying statements are not annoying.

That was my thinking. Yes.

but his unintentional ones?

>I should add here that the two propositions stated by transition are self-evidently true. So I don’t see why they should be annoying

why are untrue statements likely to be more annoying, as a rule, or generalized

>I should add here that the two propositions stated by transition are self-evidently true.

as generally they are untrue, this would depend on one’s perception of truthfullness being an annoying rule?

We’re from the government. We’re here to help.

I’ve been propositioned many times…… But never been proposed to.

Yes. But also philosophy, like.

“I think therefore I am. Thoughts are manifold so I am manifold.”
“Infinity and zero are two sides of the same coin”.
“Solipsism is correct”.
“When religion uses the word ‘spirit’ it is talking about germs. Saying that a person’s spirit survives after their death is that same as saying that you can catch a disease form a corpse.”
“Your greatest virtue is your naivety. Guard it at all cost”.
“The only crime is being caught”.

Annoying?

people ignore more than they could possibly understand

couple ways reading that above, the way I thought it as I woke, way it emerged into words, was probably the less obvious way it could read

I am mostly what I don’t know

of course everyone is faced with potential humiliations of ignorance, including self-ignorance, probably a universal motivator to learn
