: : THE UNIT BILL IS NOT PROCESSING THIS THREAD OF INFORMATION EFFICIENTLY
: : QUERY - IS THE UNIT BILL A BIOLOGICAL UNIT
Bill: I am down with this. no prob. i am not.
: : NONSEQUITOR - STATEMENT ASSUMES ANONYMITY
: : NOMAD HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED
Bill: has nomad been identified?
: : DISAGREEMENT IS IRRELEVANT
Bill: at any rate, i like nomad as nomad and bob as bob.
: : NOMAD STILL CONSIDERS BOB A PRODUCTIVE BIOLOGICAL UNIT
Bill: i consider bob, the alien, someone who is endearing himself to me. maybe because he will one day implant himself as a virus in my body and take over humanity through me, but at least humanity might learn something about itself. that would be nice. i have a feeling bob might cause us all to become pals or something.
: : HAVE A NICE SINGULAR PLANETARY REVOLUTION
Bill: thanks for talking like an indian.
: In any case, Yes, Bill is a biological unit. And one with a respectable personal philosophy and belief system, which is why he is both frustrated and accepting of these dialogues at the same time. I am looking forward to the day when he unravels the puzzle of indentity.
: Your second question -- what is thought?
: Tought is comprised of a number of intellectual capabilties:
: 1) Awareness of your current reality.
: 2) Analytical processing of your current reality.
: 3) The ability to learn when facts are presented to you.
: 4) The ability to analyze such facts and reject falsehoods.
: 5) The ability to draw conclusions form the above three elements to create new knowledge.
Bill: also the ability to see things as what they are but also to NOT SEE THEM and to see how they are related to everything else around them. to see that they don't proceed from themselves in other words.
: Moving on -- Sherman Alexie is a writer. And a good one. I have only read 2 of his books, and seen one of his movies. But cut me a break. I have thousands of years of creative endavours to read, so I can't get to everything.
Bill: man, who the hell are you? do you like Cass Elliott? did i ever live with you? oh yeah, you are Bob, the Alien. sorry. i'm glad you like Sherman. He's a real doll.
: Jonvon -- Agreed. He is not the creator. Sorry, jonvon.
Bill: Jonvon is a cutie too.
: "BOB INJURED NOMADS SENSORS" -- Interesting. May I ask for more details?
Bill: Hey, this is a public message board.
: Until next time...
: Bob
Bill: O.K. Bob, until next time. This is getting good!
