there are just things that are a waste of time and not worth the effort.

When I used to run this road, eventually everything felt not worth the effort and, with it, came understimulation at a deeper level with resentment towards things that didn't effectively do it for me extending towards "Life". 

Following that, there was the moment of "Well, I have to do something with my time", which lent to me doing things without judging it quite as much over how "All of it in a big picture sense is a waste of my time, and as no one important my time means nothing". 

Following a willingness to go into "pointless" things, I began to find the means of enjoying it more from the investment as it gradually felt less pointless to me. 

With every piece of seemingly useless information I've picked up from these 'pointless' things, I've seen room to network and reference it as experience in other conversations, showing a sort of bleed and blend of ideas and concepts more like a spectrum rather than a table of words. 

A lot of things run together if you bother to learn a wide variety of things, and with people that can get a bit existential. 



I don't believe in "Useless Knowledge", there is always room to cross-reference it, it denotes experience that will shape your future choices, and what you may not have a use for now may end up being surprisingly helpful as a reference at a later date during unrelated events, such as how my talks with Turquie have randomly given me prompts for conversations with other people on matters like Spirituality. 

I've found more benefits in being open minded from having started off more closed off and see it fail. 

And after many tests and trials I have become confident to 90% to sniff them out from a pattern before I even read them.

You won't ever know if the pattern is valid if you're simply presuming it as reinforcement of your own idea there. 

I read the people I don't enjoy, and find novelty when they break the pattern. If I opted for your method I'd not notice some of the weirder shit that goes on here out of mere impatience, nor would I have the room to appreciate more nuanced things about what makes them distinctive.

"I don't even read their posts" always sounds like willful ignorance to me. 

Like I get being like "I don't wanna", but I am not usually blaming them for my own impatience, let alone blame them for it when my focus is what's truly culprit. 

It really tells me something when the ones who seem to have the biggest 'tude over it are the ones who don't read about them. Speaking as someone who for the most part reads everybody I'd say there is a lot there to work with. 

 They're just boring. Who wants to waste that time?

That's ego talking. 

Whenever I feel that way, I remember how it sounds when I see other people try to claim the same thing. 

my own, nobody else makes any good posts anymore other than PBJ imo.

I still don't get how there is a crowd here with a similar mindset.

I'd rather do something that is more valuable or entertaining then read something of less value or entertainment. It is a mathematical equation. I only have this much time.

I do not share this experience. There is no 100% useless knowledge, but there is less valuable and more valuable knowledge and I pick accordingly. When I don't read a shit post I do something more valuable instead.

I have already tested it for years. It was time it came out of the testing stage. I may retest it in 5 years? And perhaps adjust it. But idk if I could. A risk I am willing to take, even if it gets off balance it would still be good enough.

If ppl do weird things they are more valuable because its entertaining. It is in the algorithm. EVERYTHING IS IN THE ALGORITHM.

I guess, but part of coming here is also the format and consistency. 

While others might be more immediately novel, most of the people here I've now been invested in for years. There is also the sense of culture that is more implied than spoken of that I like observing.

I guess that's where we're split, I feel like I am in a sea of time while trying to find places within it to swim towards.

We can't judge how useful knowledge is before it becomes necessary to apply it, and a lot of how it even comes up is creatively tangential, based on knowing the thing already inspiring your own behavior to react differently rather than calling on it like words in a book. 

I am very often surprised when something "useless" I learned becomes a point of reference or a prompt later in life. 

With your model, you can only build in a single consistent direction, rather than sprawling out enough to see more than your own reflection.

When the only cost for me has been reading patience, I've gotten more out of pushing myself to read it than otherwise ignoring it. 

Knowledge from outside of my framework is useful, even if foreign to try to filter through and process. Even a complete imbecile has a thought process that can be studied for future reference and comparison, and some idiots from my time with them ended with both of us growing from the interaction.

If you are ignoring people because you believe to know them already, then you will never notice what you missed or did not yet occur. 

Consistent people are not 100%, they do other shit sometimes unexpectedly when given different prompts or context. There is also the room for those interactions to not only shape them, but have them shape you, offering variability overtime while also a sense of both investment and consistency. 

Lets take Spatial for example, the guy is very much not aligned with my sensibilities, yet I feel like both of us get a fair amount out of the interactions. At the very least the exercise has taught me things about myself over what kinds of reactions his buffoonery can inspire.

It's pointless if it's not about how others respond to it though, is my thinking. 

I will at least read something once, but there are situations where I'm more inclined to follow-up than others.  It really isn't that big a time sink, unless it's about your reading comprehension/speed.

TC, you have to admit that you too prioritize some posts. I know you would like a world where you don't, everyone would love a world like that, but that's just not realistic.

Did you read every news paper page yesterday? How about every new post on SC? Did you watch every TV channel? Did you call all your friends?

You have to prioritize things, whether you like it or not. You do it either knowingly or unknowingly, but I can definitely see a pattern in your behavior. There are certain folks you avoid, and certain folks you don't avoid. It's just basic biology. You're attracted to certain types of thinking, those that appear familiar to you, while rejecting those that appear unfamiliar.

I know you make conscious effort to read through what feels like garbage to you, and that's admirable. But let's not kid ourselves. You do it, too. Even if you don't want to broadcast it.

To make this more concrete, you have made 116 posts in LiYang's topics, while you've made 166 posts in `healingqueen` topics. Healingqueen registered 01/27/2023 and LiYang registered 10/30/2020. That's a posting frequency of 3 posts per day for healingqueen and 0.2 per day for LiYang. You're 15 times more interested in Healingqueen than LiYang. Out of those times, the number of times you've actually engaged LiYang is... very, very close to zero. There are some other factors, of course, but none can account for such a large discrepancy.

Basically others are saying the same thing, but are just willing to reduce the number even closer to zero and rudely broadcast their preferences.
