You've seemed intelligent, understanding, an constructive to me. What happened to make you think this?

Sometimes I think I know more than I do, and I argue a point when it is wrong because I neglect to research it better. Jumping to conclusions. Like I need to think things through more, rather than just typing out the first thing that comes to mind.
I think it is a horrible thing to do to try convince someone they are wrong when they are correct.
Thanks for the compliment though

Mostly the whole ASMR thing, I pretended like I know what it is, but really I don't. What I think is basically a guess. Granted there are some similarities between it and other previously described phenomena, but I really don't know if it is the same thing as third eye or frisson. It is too subjective for me to think I know what it is exactly.

I've done the same thing, assuming I'm right, posting without thinking thoroughly. But you've already made the first step to improving, you recognized the problem, which is a big deal. You're not in denial, you're honest, and there is actually nothing wrong with you or the way you post. It's a process becoming forum mature.

Well you know what, at least you see it!!
I really think most people ignore or don't notice that dumb shit they do or contradictions in what they say/believe/think. Whereas the more aware among us see the crap we tell ourselves or call ourselves out when we're saying one thing and doing another. At least thats what I have found in people around me and myself...Of course I might be an arrogant fool deluding himself but hey, at least I'm trying not to!

Put up with you? When did that start? You lost me about a tenth of the way in the "ownership" thread. That on got completely out of control. It's like the atheist threads, long in the tooth but short in the food.

not any more of an idiot than any of us here attempting to puzzle through life's experiences, questioning authority and the tyranny of expert opinions, railing against social norms, the productization of everything, politicized justice, and exploring alternatives at every turn to make this world better

I wish I had some oaf meal stout. May have to settle for a Big Belgian instead.
This guy is an idiot. That is in no way a full sized blow off tube. He's lucky his cork didn't pop and make a real mess. Plus he's encouraging his son to make beer which is just plain cool. But really what an idiot that puny tube was almost plugged. Who runs something like that from an airlock? An idiot, that's who.
