I wish I could turn subtitles on for this comment. I have no idea what you are saying.

The account you replied to replied to a comment of mine on another thread with a weird word salad. It was suggested to me that said account may be a bot...

  Particular comments maybe, but probably not the account as a whole since it dates from 2007

  I’m convinced they’re not a bot. I believe they’re either deliberately engaged in “artistically” expressing themselves, or have mental health issues of the schizophrenic variety. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/brainspotting/202202/schizophrenia-and-writing https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/brainspotting/2022...

    Yeah pretty much. Am in fact expressing myself in a very "flowery" manner, artistically. I'm elevating the HN comment to an artform. I actually was thought to be schizophrenic by doctors once upon a time. Diagnosed secretly. Then they walked back on the diagnosis. Rescinded. I still get treated for it, because you don't need to stop taking the medication for it if you don't want to. Loophole. I wouldn't say mental health issues, either. I pay a lot for psychiatry and get my money's worth, have a handle on it, pretty good patient according to many doctors. Often the favorite. Alpha in the psych ward always, alpha in rehab. Hey somebody gets dealt this hand, what if he plays his cards right? What if he pulls off checkmates?

  Their profile claims: >Perhaps you'll think my comments are unthinkable. My only response to that is that they were legibly written, not by a machine, but by a writer with a soul.

    They are legible because my browser uses a reasonable font. Whether they are intelligible is another matter.

      Interesting. Yeah that's cool, am I intelligible or not? Well I can say for certain the malpractice, the lobotomy, didn't help with that. Lost the ability to express clever ideas. Like I can no longer think that way.

SUBTITLES: The film industry makes high art as well as common fare. The high art is what the artists want to make and enjoy but it has a very small market. The common fare is what pays the bills, because it sells like 100x more tickets than high art. High art = caviar, Shakespeare "caviar for the general" whereas common fare is hamburgers, flipping burgers, which is a real business, many more servings of hamburgers than caviar.

  Thank you.

    You're welcome elteto, all the way. I have little idea when I cannot be understood, and it helps me to know when I do in fact communicate plainly.
    - moistly 4y ago
      You too-frequently convey your ideas through the use of obscure metaphor and convoluted sentence structure. Yet you clearly know how to write plainly, as you just demonstrated in your subsequent replies. It is odd that you apparently wish to be understood, but more often than not choose opacity instead of clarity. Which is a bit of a shame, because if a person makes the effort to decipher your posts, they often do say something meaningful or insightful. But others also have insights and useful information, and are much, much easier to understand; given this competition, of course your illucid rambling is skipped and downvoted.

        OK I'll step up my game. Very constructive actionable advice, thanks.

  Sounds like a parallel topic to the poor sound mixing trouble to me. High art existed before muffled conversations mixed with loud sound effects or music. Also high art can coexist with balanced sound and articulate conversation. Or balanced sound can be used for 'burger' movies for their benefit.

I wish I could turn subtitles on for this comment. I have no idea what you are saying.
