1. My addictive nature. Been addicted to games, music, computers, specific songs, comics, movies, TV shows, etc...

2. Morons & assholes in Mabinogi (or any MMO, for that matter).

3. This damn allergy. Manifests like a cold except it's not contagious, lasts for about three weeks or more. Bleh.


On a totally unrelated note: I've downloaded a GameBoy emulator, and just recently played Super Mario Land!!! It was AWESOME!!! :la:

Thanks! :D

Well... It's rather difficult to explain, and it's just an expression I use, but here goes...

Assuming one believes in evolution at all, Humans are always evolving like any other species. One notable way we've evolved is in our lifespans: we've gone from about 30 years maximum to 80 years average. Another way we've evolved is in our minds. Our brains have become far more sophisticated than they were in our caveman days. Except in one major way: instinct.

All Human psychology, as far as I'm concerned, is still ultimately rooted in basic instincts. For instance: the modern Ego. It's an advanced version of the self-preservation instinct. Think about it: Egos give us a sense of personal worth, a desire to continue with our lives. Lose your Ego, you lose your drive to keep going. People with poor Egos don't fight or try to defend themselves when attacked physically or emotionally. Hence: Ego = self-preservation.

Everything else can ultimately be equated down to basic survival instincts. Reflex actions: survival. If grab something hot, you instinctively whip your hand away. You could say that your brain has a basic logic circuit which goes, "If HandInPain = True Then MoveHand(Fast)". Instinct. Now, that may sound like pretty good logic, and it is, most of the time. But what if jerking your hand puts you in worse danger? What if, say, there's an angry snake watching you, and your sudden movement could cause it to bite? Common sense says, "the snake is far more dangerous. Keep still." But instinct says, "your hand is being hurt! Get it away!"

Thus, instinct can be a problem if allowed to run wild (heh, no pun intended.) And in today's modern world, a world run by cold, logical, powerful computers, a world of thought, and of efficiency, there's little need for our animal instincts. We still need those instincts, but they should no longer be controlling us.

That's where this evolution thing comes in. I'm slightly different from the average person, in that I was born with the ability to override my instincts when necessary. Now, does this mean I'm totally in control? Good lord no; that's not the way evolution works. It goes in stages, not leaps, and if I were in complete control of my instincts, I'd be a mutant rather than an Evo. But I have that ability, nevertheless, whereas many people seem to physically lack it. Yes, I said physically; the brain is a physical object like any computer, and its physical structure, its "hardware" if you will, makes just as much difference as the information stored in it.

So, there you have it. I said it was difficult to explain, and even now I haven't done a particularly good job, but it's the best I can come up with. I'm not some superhuman; rather, I'm the start of something new. Not better or worse, just new. Different. I'm a single step in our evolutionary progression to... What, exactly?

Only time will tell.

ok...two things...this was the longest reply I have ever gotten in my life... O.o
and the second thing: thanks for the pop psychology...it was interesting to read...and well, I guess its every man with his thoughts, if you consider yourself to be an evo, then do so, no one has told you otherwise...I just think, perhaps...a little less arrogance, cause that's not very evolved of you...perhaps its more like...a de-vo...right? hmmm...

Arrogance has nothing to do with it. I told you, I'm neither better nor worse, I'm just different. A dog (as far as we know) is incapable of performing calculus, or producing a large-scale painting. But Does that make the dog inferior, or make us superior to it? Absolutely not.

If you saw any arrogance in my explanation, then either I did a worse job of explaining than I thought, or you considered it an arrogant statement from the start. As I said, I'm not a better Human, nor am I a worse one. I'm just unusual. Atypical. Different from the majority. That's all.
