As a part of my now annual "withdraw from society, read a lot, write a lot, and perform life optimizations" period, I'll be withdrawing from both real and online life for the next 3-4 months to recoup from damages I knowingly did to myself. Like the phoenix that immolates itself and is reborn, I shall be reborn at the cognitive level once the purge is complete.
My goal for over a year now has been to observe the motivations and conventions of humans in many environments, both virtual and real, for an optimum set of behaviors for me to thrive in any social environment. Now that I understand the implicit and explicit rules of society far better through active observation, I will have little or no need to be so obtuse and aloof in behavior (no need to collect data much anymore)..
I was an asshole because I wanted to see the reactions, and I became more and more accurate in predicting what sort of personalities would react which way given a context and an input I made up. When I was friendly, I wanted to see your reaction as well (although those results carried vague meanings from the onset of my study). When I made some pretty obvious insults to whole groups, the resulting thread was an observation as well (in real life this was simply making statements that would result in verbal / physical arguments). Essentially, I learned how the systems work by understanding how to break them (a technique used in cognitive psychology and reverse engineering). The information from the resulting arguments and quarrels were all considered thoroughly, so your arguments were not at a loss. I thank you all for bolstering my knowledge and wisdom of our world.
Until June or July, goodbye.
