Not much, Hardon. But don't worry on my account. I'm sure that my humble ways beats living a life of pure arrogance; it is they who always fall  the hardest.

I love being a nobody.
Which is why I am very careful, and the chances of me falling are slim. At least I have somewhere to fall from.

Woo, yay, Maths. I'm really at shit creek now.

Ask me that again when you're successful at 30. Right now, you're a nobody with a complex.

We shall see, in fact i intend to succeed before that in some way. As for me being nobody with a complex, i think I could probably argue that I have achieved more than you.

Like what? Something that interests me? Something that I actually give a damn about? I'm content with my own personal successes, and I don't need some snot-nosed whelp like yourself to suggest to me otherwise.

How do you deal with the harsh reality that there are always going to be people far better than you such as the residents dwelling on this 'ere board?



Very simple, your harsh reality doesnt really exist. It depends how you look at better. And dont tell me you are happy with your personal successes, that just makes you a liar.

How do you know? Can you read my mind via the computer screen? Oh my! Can you do an ollie with your imaginary skateboard? Doubt that.

People can be content with even the most mediocre of existences.   I know sometimes I feel that I have no goals or aspirations myself.   Everything in life becomes meaningless but the here and now.
:P   Internets are super serious.

Spent enough time reading about psychology to have most people figured out to a reasonable degree. You would be surprised how much what can be figured from what you say and your style of posting.

Though not for me, I like this question,
and wish to answer it. Because it was
a terrible realization when the time came
that I saw I'd not be anything all that impressive.
One lowers their hopes. That's why I went to
grad school.

As to those on this board, I've not seen any signs
that there is anything fundamentally that impressive
about any of us. Kinda makes sense. Someone doing
something REALLY impressive simply wouldn't have the
time to postwhore.

Humans, maybe. I can't. Makes me sick.

obviously not, in your case - you've missed me by a light year or two.

Or maybe I know, and was just testing ideas. I have enough information to find all about you with a short trawl of the internet, surprisingly i cannot be bothered to do so.

I can't either, being content with my life sucking would get me more depressed.   Me being too lazy to do something significant enough to change things is a different subject entirely.   I have dreams and aspirations, but they go away when I am really depressed due to examining how I live my life.
:P   Internets are super serious.

bollocks, have you.  a case of what you accused me of doing, n'est-ce pas?  as in, making grandiose claims.  if you could have done so, you would - you've already shown you fucked up, by suggesting i'm at Bristol.  the southwest doesn't end at bristol, dur, in case that helps.

put your money where your arse mouth is, and find out, then PM me with the info.  if you're right, i'll tell you.

oh, but you'd better clarify exactly what you're suggesting you can find out - are we talking names?  addresses?  positions at uni?  previous research history?  publications?  academic record?  employment history?  inside leg measurement?  date of last period?  what?

but don't worry - if you want to bottle out, i won't think any the less of you.

No, actaully i was trying to find out the lifestyles of academic aspies. Just as i might end up on that track, so i wanted to see future problems and avoid them before they happen. I have the answers I am looking for. If i get really bored i could track you down, but i think that would just freak you out. And I dont really want to know.

Seriously, what would you do if i actually found you. My guess is you would utterly shit yourself, and probably lie even if i get the right answer. Wouldnt me actually doing it be a step too far. You didnt figure out my reason for playing games though, did you?
