All Activity

I don't think KruegerMeister's ever updated which sucks because they probably had a lot of post. I didn't expect to get mentioned here, honestly most of my post are RPs so that's true. I would probably type here more but I'm pretty shy.

wow. i thought that we had collectively moved on from that

Sounds like a pretty neat job. 😁 What do you mean? That is a totally normal name for a regular human person to have./hj

That's just a regular human person, and likes the number 69

is tulpa.info being infiltrated by an alien or a tulpa who overthrew their host?

I worked a couple times in museums, mostly car related because, you know, Italy My favourite though was the NEMO Museum in Amsterdam - other than the crazy architecture of the place, it was surprisingly full of interactive bits of science - for what is worth stoned 20 year old me enjoyed it

Being an archaeologist is one of those jobs that is exclusively about figuring out what we don't already know, so someone who only wants to believe what they already think is the worst person for the job Unless their job is only the "finding stuff" part and not the "figuring out what it is/means" part

What's the Bottleneck Period Theory? The CosmoCaixa science museum in Barcelona has a taxonomic tree of the world's languages which also uncritically includes the Altaic family

"person who visits museums" is my ideal job

Jezebel: That seems to be what happened to us. Focusing on painting seems to have cleared things up a bit. Thank you, we will have to remember that next time it happens. Shaula: so, he's a fiction writer in a nonfiction book./hj That's a real shame...

Oh man I love the invention of recursive language and how it relates to the Bottleneck Period Theory

You could say their methods of information are archaic

i see. i had assumed that it was well researched because i saw a lot of good reviews for it and it had thorough citations. but i guess not. that's disappointing it's not scientific, but none the less, a lot of scientists get overly caught up in proving their point over finding the truth

An archaeologist who ignores new information that contradicts their narrative? I feel like that negates your being-an-archaeologist and just makes you a person who visits museums or something

I looked it up, and apparently the author also relies heavily on conjecture when discussing human evolution and the origins of storytelling as well

I happen to have brain fog myself. I can give you some tips and focus exercises if you'd like to regain clarity, even if temporarily. Grounding yourself and finding a cool and fun activity to centre your attentive processes is a great way to shake the dust off and find inroads to your goals. I would recommend fifteen minute breaks for every forty five minutes of labour.

it's called "the language puzzle". it's about the origins of language in human evolution

Jezebel: Yes and no. Going out and about tends to give us brain fog or similar issues. I do feel that worrying about the time had intensified that though. Now that I am watercoloring, the drifting has gone away for the most part. Thank you for your advice. Also, we are going to stick around a little while because we need breaks in between coloring so the paper does not warp too much. (I also wanted be the one to talk about this.) Edit: Shaula: lol, Fennec!

my guess is that they started their argument by looking at archeology and other fields that they knew more about, and then they didn't want to change things by the time they started looking into linguistics, so they just ignored things that contradicted their narrative

I don't agree with book burnings, but...

Weird to me to even try to talk about that in-depth of stuff without actually knowing about it

i thought that it was overstating that universal grammar has been disproved somewhat, and then i saw that it said that only khoisan languages use clicks as consonants, and i thought that may have just been a careless mistake that slipped through. but then they bring up altaic and start talking about the norstratic language family, and i start to think, this person really doesn't know what they're talking about it's a book that covers multiple different disciplines and is written by an archeologist. this is the problem with trying to do cross disciplinary stuff though; you have to be an expert on all these different fields, or at least have someone who is an expert to check your work

Might be why. Cannot mitigate the anxiety and it's a draw on your overall thought process. Why not let Jezebel finish, then return to talk more?

Thanks. 😊 I mean it's unusual for us. I'm mostly just worried about finishing our project today.

It's fine. I suggest you not sweat the small stuff - in due time, each of you will find a cognitive niche. Besides, no harm in feeling blendy or drifting. Comes with the territory. I'm just relaxing, so feel free to pace yourself.
