Not a clue what that means. Are you just compressing some chit?

In all seriousness, he strikes me as someone who's compelled to act out something from his past, maybe even his childhood... if true, that's very scary given the immense power he has today, that he simply can't be reasoned with like with a healthy-minded person.

ETA Even scarier, the same appears to also be true of Trump, and the two of them have now paired up together.

I'm not sure, but I think maybe it goes beyond that, that maybe we wouldn't have the words in any language to be able to express it. I knew a man once who passed out, went into convulsions and almost died... we had to call an ambulance and he was taken to the hospital. He later said that when he was passed out, he saw something he had no words to describe... years later, he showed me a magazine article about a man who'd had the same experience (of having no words) and said, "This is what it's like". Even then, years later, he still couldn't tell anyone what he'd seen. So maybe that's the best we could come up with, someone saying they've had a thought with no words to explain it? I've never had a 100% original thought, so I'm just guessing.

Very interesting. So to be sure I'm understanding you, let's suppose what you're saying here is bang-on... wouldn't that mean we are each and all followers by nature and can't be anything but?

I get it. It's just the kind of meaningless babble I'd expect in a social setting, like at a bar or party.

So it's just empty blathering then, when this German ambassador says they have our back. Great.

An original thought doesn't have to be the discovery of something.

What does that mean exactly, has our back? How?

I think you just came up with rump's new name.

Now you're breaking off into something else that fascinates me... symbolism as a highly efficient method of communication. If you test yourself, you'll find it takes less time for your brain to process symbols than spoken words... and there's a very short amount of time in there where your brain understands what it's looking at without the need of any other language other than symbolism.
