In regards to the persona stuff last page:

I feel like most people that are confident aren't and are just pretending to be confident.
Isn't that the point of being confident?

Also! I've managed to get myself in deep with this programming project. Apparently, while it's easy to run a shell command in a C program and then use the output, it's surprisingly difficult to run a non-terminating one (for example, something that monitors a local network) for a limited period of time, and then use the output. I mean, I more or less get why, but it's still a pain.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yep. The point is to do it convincingly enough that you forget that you're lying.

Nah. There's a point in between 'not confident' and 'confident', that being how you think about it. Sure, you'd feel it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the feelings are truly describing who you are, given that you've to interpret those feelings too :P

Nope. The problem here is that you're thinking as if how you see yourself currently is 'exactly who you are', given how you apply the term of 'lying' to that situation.
That borders the lack of idea of not realizing the flexibility of choice, and the inherent nature of how attitude is created.
It's like the scenario where one commits a mistake, then they say they're a failure: who exactly is judging them there? Before, it could be others--maybe that's how they learned to judge themselves that way, but who continuously says it? And does that actually mean, that if I keep on saying it without anyone else to judge, that it is my choice, or is it just something I learned--and this isn't really me?

Stuff like that should be put into consideration.

Fucking typical, I get a measly scrap of confidence, and then I do something stupid that fucks everything up. This is why I can't allow myself to be happy.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

My new place is rather less convenient when it comes to getting to certain places around the city.
Including the bar I want to go to tonight. Bah.

Jesus...

I've reported the post to Toady. He probably won't be able to do anything, but I can only hope he can somehow get this to the attention of the authorities.


I know anything I write here can't adequately convey my feelings right now so I'll just say this: I may not know you, but whoever you are, whatever you are going through, there are still people who care about you.

I uh. kaladin's in NZ somewhere. Which is a small island. I wonder if we can't get some fellow forumites in the area to keep an ear out for news?

I wish no news was good news, but... I hope you're alive right now, Kaladin.
