Valuable to you perhaps. Valuable to me might have been perusing your proposed solution.

You presented your topic as a fait accompli and likely expected a polarised argument. Instead I was open to discussion and asked questions. It appears that you didn't get that far with your thinking. It's clear that meaningful for you has a different definition from normal, balanced minds.

If you would like to think that you won something, that's okay with me 😊

You need to simply admit that you have nothing to offer in real political policy discussion.

We obviously have different ideas of the make up of a discussion. For my perspective, you have no depth at all. In fact I'm mildly surprised you didn't add "prove me wrong" 😊 There was no political policy discussion. Rather just what seemed a banal ideological statement. Flesh it out a bit. We might discuss places where it works and places where you think it isn't working. You are floundering because you seem to expect me to have an opposite view. Whereas I keep an open mind in any discussion.

So instead of continually patting yourself on the back, flesh out the location and policies you would like in place. ..or are you just another empty suit?

What I need is not the forum.

What I need is a break from the internet, and to stop finding excuses for not working more than I do.

I need a big workshop, more tools, and air condition. That is what I need. This is just a substitute, and a bad substitute, for not having enough real things to do.

Excessive travelling is the same. Also just a substitute for having something better to do.

So yes, call it a privilege if you want, to waste time on nothing. But it is still wasting time.

And time is the one thing we do not get more of when it is up.

Going stir-crazy, again?

What are you going to create in this new big air conditioned workshop of yours?

How long before you get bored of that?

Travelling is a real thing, isn't it? But yet, you remain unfulfilled.

It's a problem within you. You don't need me to tell you that. A real thing you can do, is to change you. But that's perhaps the hardest mountain for you to climb.

It's quite telling how the quality of your posts drop when you are not using AI.

It's called engaging in conversation. But you are unable to do so without sinking into your usual level of paranoia.

I asked you about your day yesterday, to see if you were able to change tack and behave normally. But you cannot. You see traps at every turn, so either try and come up with a 'smart' reply or choose to not respond at all.

Why not show that you can do it and then see how I respond? It's you who is unable to let it go. For me, we can have a disagreement on one topic and still be in agreement in another. You cannot. You take your grudge everywhere with you. That's why a new big workshop won't change a thing. The problem is you.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing about your new big air conditioned workshop 😊

If that's how you feel about it, then that is the way it will be for you. You are welcome. Let us know how the new big air conditioned workshop is coming along. We'll see if it brings a change in your direction. I doubt it. The problem is in your brain. A hamster on a wheel.

Do you really think that it is me with the problems? Is it me who is writing that I need to 'get off the Internet'. So get off the Internet. Stop just talking about it. You take a break and then you're back.

That you need to work more because you have nothing better to do? That is someone who is not at peace with himself.

Your name calling is just a part of you. It helps you to feel better about yourself. But it is just weak. Strength would be to be normal in the face of imagined 'toxicity'. But you sink to new lows and then blame external factors. Similarly with your need for new external things to solve your problems.

I'm in total control of what I do. I don't need to make other people my scapegoat. That's weak minded. You know it, but the egotist in you cannot say it out loud.

Look at that. “A hamster on a wheel.”

What a perfect mirror image you created without even noticing it.

Maybe the wheel is not mine. Maybe you are the one still running.

Another thing is that your own admitted history with drugs seems to show in the way you behave here. I am not saying that to attack your past, but your tone often becomes toxic, repetitive, and aggressive.

You keep projecting problems onto others, but the pattern is always the same. You provoke, insult, and then act as if everyone else is the issue.

Maybe it is worth looking at why you keep returning to the same loop. Because from the outside, it does not look healthy.

You are an interesting case.

Even honesty is not enough for you, is it?

I say openly that I need breaks, that I get tired of the Internet, that I sometimes need to step back and work on better things. To me, that is not weakness. That is self-awareness.

But you take that honesty and try to twist it into something shameful. Then, almost immediately, you break into the same toxic pattern again: name-calling, personal attacks, and amateur psychology.

You think you are seeing something in me, but most of what you write looks more like projection. You talk about control, peace, weakness, ego, and scapegoats, while doing exactly the same thing you accuse others of doing.

That is the mirror again.

You can call it whatever you want, but from the outside it looks like you keep needing someone to aim at. Today it is me. Tomorrow it will be someone else.

Maybe the real question is not what is wrong with me. Maybe the real question is why you keep needing this loop.

Now go and play with someone else.

I have better things to do than keep feeding this loop and your damaged self-esteem.

How would you know it's a mirror image if we haven't ever met? The only thing that you know, is you. 😊

I'm not running anywhere. I stopped working and running around like a headless chicken a long time ago. I have a settled and relaxed life.

Admitted history with drugs? I used cannabis extract for a shoulder injury a while back. Whereas you fill yourself with creatine, protein powders and more to try to maintain an illusion. You cannot relax. Then there are the little blue pills that you need to take to enhance your performance. Yet, you try to lecture people about taking drugs. Look at yourself, with all of your 'supplements'. You are a pathetic joke.

Then there is your dependence on AI to put together a coherent post.

I don't project problems on to others. I simply reflect back what you write. You have written repeatedly about needing to get off the Internet. But yet, here you are. So you consider that you have a problem.

You just take umbrage at me pointing that out to you.

So get off the Internet. Stop just talking about it. Go build that big workshop and use that time you keep referring to. Do it and stop just talking about it. Then you will know.

If you are still here tomorrow, then we know that you are just weak willed. It's not me returning to the same loop. It's you. Get off it, like you say. Be a man of your word. Show us that you can do it, rather than just talking about it.

It might be self awareness, but you do not change anything. So it's just empty rhetoric.

All of the things you write are from your own imagination. Your own shame.

If I say that i am going to do something, I do it. No talking, no excuses. I understand the consequences.

You are constantly running around looking for something that you cannot find. You have to be that thing that you are looking for. But you are not. You are fighting with yourself, not me.

So build your big new air conditioned workshop and get off the Internet. Stop just talking about it.

Interesting to see you fall into the same pattern you accuse everyone else of having.

You keep presenting yourself as calm, settled, and in control, but the moment someone pushes back, you turn to personal diagnosis, insults, and pressure tactics.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde comes to mind: one face claiming calm insight, another face throwing insults and personal judgments the moment the mask slips.

How many days have you been calling my name now, across several threads, fishing and changing baits?

Yesterday you got a short answer, and suddenly it turned into full war, while you still claimed you were being nice to me once, as if that proves anything. Proof of what, exactly?

There is something sad about that.

What you need to understand is this: I do not owe you an explanation for anything.

And who really has the Internet problem here? You seem to be here more than me, and that should tell you something, right?

You also seem to have problems in most threads where you are present. Maybe that is worth thinking about.

I don't have any problems in any threads. Here I am, smiling and eating fruit. Who has the problem? Some people may have a problem with their reactions towards me.

If you prefer to imagine me as something other than they way that 'I am presented', that's up to you, isn't it? I don't mind 😊

It's always you who starts with the insults. I simply mentioned that some imagine resorting to violence. There was no insult. Just a simple truth. But it 'triggered' you.

Who was the first to mention a drug habit? I just presented the reality over your mud slinging attempt.

It's you who imagines Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 😊 It's normal for me to be able to disagree on one subject, whilst being in full agreement on another. Obviously not for you. You don't have that ability. So in your mind, you create a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde scenario to compensate for your lack of prowess.

You can make up any nonsense you like about me. It doesn't affect my life negatively at all. It's you with all of the conflicts.

I don't have an Internet problem. I'm enjoying my interactions. It's you who stated that you have a problem. One that you cannot overcome. So instead you project your 'problem' on to me.

Don't try to lecture me about personal judgements. I gave you the opportunity to drop that when I asked about your day. You cannot because you have already made a personal judgement from which you cannot walk away. You have fixed our relationship in your mind, so that is the way it will be...until your change your mind.

I don't see trolls and demons and imagine toxicity in the way that you do. How you treat me will always be reflected back to you. You think that you are being smart, trying different tactics, but nothing is working, is it?

It's your own conflict.

No one called your name. I simply mentioned those who thought about violence as a solution for their own problems and you saw yourself in that.

If you are disrespectful towards me, don't expect me to be nice to you. I'll just tell you about yourself.

I didn't ask for any explanation. Just get off the Internet like you said or just shut up about it.

Go build your workshop and be happy. Otherwise, what's it all about?
