Open Mind / Closed Mind
    #10225174 -

Even though we have covered this dozens of times, it seems we have a new crop of readers/posters who love to toss these terms around so I thought it time to define/explain them in detail.

"Open-minded is what I am; close-minded is what you are."

The I part is not just OC, but every poster. Now you know how it works.

willing to consider new ideas; unprejudiced

Little left in the way of energy; or the way of love, yet happy to entertain myself playing mental games with the rest of you freaks until the rivers run backwards.

:thumbup:

To imply that a user is using your made up definitions, when most people in first world countries have access to dictionaries, is just plain silly.

You may substitute the definition and it comes out the same.

"I am willing to consider new ideas; you are unwilling to consider new ideas."

This can be applied in most nearly any arena like the recent posturing about does America torture.

"Our enhanced interrogation techniques are NOT torture; your enhanced interrogation techniques ARE torture."

"Your killing of innocent civilians is the epitome of evil; our killing of innocent civilians is unfortunate collateral damage."

It is a fun, but meaningless game to play.

I vote for desperation. I can qualify as an expert in that field. Maybe that makes me a genius.

My mind is neither very open nor completely closed.


--------------------
“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Is your mind like a Klein bottle?



Quote:
In mathematics, the Klein bottle is a certain non-orientable surface, i.e., a surface (a two-dimensional manifold) with no distinct "inner" and "outer" sides. Other related non-orientable objects include the Möbius strip and the real projective plane. Whereas a Möbius strip is a two dimensional surface with boundary, a Klein bottle has no boundary. (For comparison, a sphere is an orientable surface with no boundary.)

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.
