part of a paper I'm currently writing includes a brief tangent on instinct (from the perspective of the instinct-intellect relation in Bergson) and i like this post so much i would plagiarize this part if i wasn't morally averse, or if i thought citing a forum post in my thesis would pass muster

i remember when i was young my mother was listening to some hip hop radio edit and she remarked afterward that the silences scattered throughout the track in place of cusswords lent it an almost meditative quality at times — like the rapper was just allowing the previous thought to permeate the air and then fade

and that's, i think, maybe a good way to view the proverbial swiss-cheese threads

the summary is that a poster prone to manic leaps in logic on scientific topics tried to draw a bunch of shaky comparisons between humans and eusocial insects and got owned, then followed the likely path to becoming a "vaccine skeptic", melted down, was ifapped and ragequit the forums
