Brain.

You get a really fresh interesting unique idea, that has no negative aspects and is not constructed of words.

You want to put it into words so that you can communicate it to the people you know.

Trouble is, to do this you have to filter it through a lower brain function - the fuck-it-all-up-and-completely-forget-the-original-essence-of-the-thought-center.

This part of the brain somehow manages to add offence and ignorance to the idea, and another part of the brain (the evil part) notices this and starts to take over. Soon enough you end up with a meltdown thread on a messageboard.

Stupid brain. Why can’t you be more like Homer’s?

I’m thinking I missed something here.

I didn’t want to make a link. But this is because of the ‘you are not free’ thread in GD.
I was doing so well not to piss anyone off. then I go and do that.

That’s cuz of your stoopid brain!

I see nothing melt-downish in that thread. Continue to defend your idea while allowing the objections to help formulate your thinking.

Brain and brain! What is brain?!

The keyword in the op above is ‘soon’. The damage is done, and the meltdown is set in motion.

I have no hope of establishing the original spark that inspired the OP, so the thread can’t really go anywhere positive.

Well, then, just ignore it and it’ll go away, or you could ask for it to be closed.

How ironic.
:slight_smile:

Heh, yeah, I didn’t think that one all the way through, did I?

Lobsang, your brain is having interesting thoughts in recent hours. They are interesting thoughts of the “I want a couple hits of whatever he took” variety, but interesting nonetheless, and thought-provoking in their expression.

Put… the bong… down.

Tourettes?

Oh my…

oh my…

I had tried to erase that from my memory, and you’ve gone and resuscitated it.

It was good for a 2 AM laugh, though. :slight_smile:
