Like it or not folks Trixie is a genius! The complexity of her posts are often 4-5 layers higher … as in more complex … than the simplicity of the words and phrases she uses to deliver it. I don’t know whether it is always his/her intention … or by accident. Doesn’t matter the “goodness” is there and the fountain is Trixie’s genius.
Let me try to illustrate with his/her recent use of the word “robot” and the (un)known association(s) to humans he/she implied in his/her post.
Let me start with an anecdote involving my eldest daughter … currently about age 43. She is not a philosopher by trade yet she is not an uneducated woman. She wears the moniker/badge PhD … with some pride I might add. For me … those who wear this moniker/badge have serious constipation in their individual consciousness.
On with my story … a few years ago my daughter shared her philosophy of life … paraphrasing … like the tiger and the rabbit I get up in the morning and start running … looking for food.
See the ‘robotic’ behavior here? … we are taking directions/instructions from our stomach.
For tigers and rabbits … that’s what they do … no more and no less. How many photos have you seen of tigers lazing around in the sun or in the shade.
OTH … for people the word “food” has a much broader meaning … education … career … stature/status in the community and so on.
See the ‘robotic’ behavior here? … we take directions/instructions from our family/culture/ambition and so on.
In many many ways … perhaps almost all ways … people are robots.
Trixie … you’re a genius!!
