^ I would rather say you are overanalyzing your own persona, despite there is no real cookie cutter way to describe someone or put them in a specific category.
Seriously, there is no fine line between normal and abnormal regarding people's behavior and aspiration. It is basically a matter of context, and for that point, you better not focus yourself on definitions and the so called "social classification".

You're not just an 'evolution,' or a 'defect,' that isn't how biology works. You vary from the population, but the way in which you vary is far too subtle to definitely be called a defect or an advantage. Don't worry about it and just live your life in ways you find meaningful (so long as you don't impede on others).
Also, some financial collapse doesn't spell the end of humanity, considering we didn't evolve to live in this odd world we've created for ourselves in the first place. |

Categorizations of mental state are not binary. Most brains exhibit characteristics from several overlapping brain state definitions. In other words, Patient A exhibits enough characteristics to be identified as Ausbergers.. but may also have attributes associated with ADD (hyperactive or passive)... and maybe trend towards OCD behavior.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the current state of brain function diagnosis is such that a person doesn't "have" a dysfunction, disease, characteristic personality -- they simply have symptoms and behaviors that are associated with those descriptive archetypes. Most people's mental status cannot be described with a simple single label -- only the armchair parlor amateurs try that. That's why many medical reports will say things like "demonstrates symptoms consistent with the model for ADD-passive with abusive self-treatment patterns" instead of "he's ADD-passive and drinks too much".

I survived a year of that before they gave up. Apparently the pills they gave me fuelled excessively aggressive behaviour towards my counsellor as I had problems thinking of how to flaw my counsellor's words (apparently those stuff inhibit active critical and lateral thinking ability), so it's some sort like a blessing in disguise.

Seriously, you can feel inferior about yourself, however you'll become the trash you think you are if you just sit there and gripe. Get up and do something, you won't know if you can do it unless you've tried.

You know, what Descartes ACTUALLY meant is that doubt shouldn't stem from something inferred. When it first appeared as Cogito Ergo Sum in Discourse on the Method (which is simply finding a way on how to think logically according to "common sense"), he is to imply that of sureness through concrete evidence to substantiate for conviction, rather than inference. In the Scientific Method, the outline is as followed : 1. Accept only what you are sure of. 2. Divide into as small parts as necessary. 3. Solve the simplest problems first. 4. Make as complete lists as possible. In your aspect, the first and the fourth tenets are breached because : In 1, - You accepted inferences. Like in this case, you just took your own interpretation of that quote for granted. - Inferences do not count as conviction through evidence. If others quote that to you by citing an archived example, it's a "fact". - "Facts" are in fact derived from popular opinion argued for by the majority, and therefore are only temporarily accounted for rather than "truth". In sciences and mathematics, there's something called "error carried forward". Subsequently, combined with your breaking of the fourth tenet, - Your list is incomplete because you didn't solve all the problems - Some of the problems are unsolvable at your stage due to the breaking of the first tenet - You closed a blind eye to the smaller but more difficult problems and like going down the rows of the Pascal's Triangle, it multiplies itself until your emotions step in to protect your personal confidence. The essence of the "I", as he wrote, does not distinguish between the mind, body and soul, which he considers the epitome of rational thinking. There have been many guesses to what he actually meant, and I personally think that what he was directing at is the wholeness of the human itself that results in his/her own rationality, being which 1. Analyse with your mind (the Basic - something to start with) 2. Work with your body (the Requirement - a way to get it done) 3. Fuel your desire to know and understand with your soul (the Fuel - the passion to keep it going) hence the single French term "ames" to be used for all, as one couldn't possibly complete the entire process of "rational thinking" by itself. Each of them complete each other, so as long as you don't upkeep any of them, you would be the village idiot for the rest of your life (which you are right now with that train of thought).

Don't know if this would actually help, but it was the first thing to pop up in my head after reading your question. http://www.animesuki.com/doc.php/history.html Doesn't seem to say anything about the forum itself, but it does mention the idea behind the creation of Animesuki and how it came to be.

A question for the admins here
Why I see only General threads regarding topics in the Off Topic forum but no personal threads regarding people lives etc. it feels a bit evil, is there an option to freely open a thread ranting about something or just being happy with something you got? These threads go down anyway after a few days...

Why are poeple posting questions that really belong in the Forum & Site Feedback forum in the Silly question thread?

We are not a "personal" forum as such, we prefer general discussion topics to be created. We don't allow "rant" threads and we don't really allow "personal" threads either. |

Forums are usually used as a place to "discuss" about "topics" at hand, which can involve every reader in a way or another. By this definition, we aren't fancying stuff like "what have you done today" and the likes: not only it is often one sided, but when it is shared by several people, either it turns into a messy chat derailing the topic even further, or like komari said: flame war and whatever you call. Unless I'm interpreting the admins' opinions in the wrong way, AS forums are used for "meaningful" topics, as in: a subject that has a meaning to be read and that provides equally or relatively meaningful answers. Random and personal stuff are a "no no", because it simply doesn't fuel any proper discussion, resulting to a bunch of posts that can be mistaken for "a blog article, and comments below". In fact, it seems visitor messages or blogs are much more appropriate to give that kind of content a shot. And speaking of the forums being strict, I disagree as it seriously prevents ridiculous situations or downright nonsensical random insanity.. The fine line was set in stone from the very beginning. While I may be a bit blunt, I believe this should be reminded (that is applied to anywhere else... well "should" be applied): if you don't like this part of the forums, you will have to deal with it, or look something more suitable to your tastes. Why, for it, you are the only one who makes a choice here, we do not force people to stay or leave either way (well, ban hammer, and slav-... moderators aside ).

I have a question, I'm looking for a word in English to find a particular texture with
this is what I am looking for: Think of an old book or old school work book that you write in. On the front you would have a small white square in which you would write your name and probably subject. What is the name for this tag or even better the appropriate word for this work book kind of thing? |
