I know that's what you think. At some point, you picked up a very linear path in life, and you think any deviation from that line constitutes some form of imperfection. It's why you're probably great at coding or math, but suffer in some other areas of life. Why should you listen to someone who doesn't write like a robot? For one, it is boring to listen to people who communicate that way. Read some Gaddis or Pynchon. Read XKCD. Listen to music from all eras and cultures. Hell, listen to a joke, or watch a stupid cat video, or go skiing, or fuck a pretty girl, or a guy, or try some peyote. Life is filled with sensory perceptions that are worthwhile outside of the context of accumulation of knowledge or money or whatever you're optimizing for. I choose to speak the way I do because I would rather risk alienating people like you by being myself than to allow the world to mold me based on some ill-informed[1] perception of what I think the other people in this world are like. [1] Which, I guarantee, you and me and everyone we know are ill-informed on this topic.

So you come here to experience life and socialise while others come here to get help at solving problems and keep up to date with the competition. Judging from the OP's submission I think we would all like to see more focus on friendly, factual feedback instead of gossip like discussions centered around personal opinions.

> I choose to speak the way I do because I would rather risk alienating people like you by being myself than to allow the world to mold me based on some ill-informed[1] perception of what I think the other people in this world are like. This very admirable and evident in this comment thread. I don't agree with everything you've been saying, but the sense of genuiness found in the way you've expressed yourself here is refreshing and very much appreciated. It saddens me that all I see in response are pleas for you to censor yourself. I already see the effects of the anti-negativity community thought police... Admist the downvotes, know that your words have not fallen entirely on deaf ears.
