I just got back from getting by bunions scraped and my arthritis treated, so now it is time for another diatribe. Recently, I was rather shocked and appalled by a news article I saw in the Sunday Times. It detailed the increasing spread of encroaching cultural factors which menace to undermine the social contract established by human civilization. It is in all of our best interest that we endeavor to curb this threat as expeditiously and efficiently as possible, so as to preserve our very way of life. I am greatly enthralled in monitoring your progress on this front. Don't disappoint me.
Cordially,
Dr. Z
What encroaching cultural factors?
And can I have a hug?
Does this article perhaps exist online somewhere, so the rest of us may peruse it?
They are obscure and ill-defined, but can best be described as a systematic process of history. They can be identified by their resemblance to a number of hostile political movements throughout history, although they are not identical.
Could you provide some examples?
Edit: And a hug?
Perhaps you should peruse the following website:
http://infoweb.newsbank.com
And no, I will not embrace you.
If you will not embrace us, will you at least embrace our young, willing, nubile minds?
I suggest going back to a system of social contract as it is described by Thomas Hobbes and establish a Leviathan. This forum has already done so with the Idiot Hierarchy, to which we all sacrifice our sanity in exchange for mindless amusement. I'd say we're a good example of a perfect society~
But you're never saying any clear words. How do you expect to guide us :ohdear:
And I will never follow anyone who doesn't deliver hugs, so there
No, but I will provide guidance to the proper path of philosophical activism.
You can fill my budding, adolescent intellect with all the activism you want.
This is a prime example of the degeneracy of today's youth. Perhaps you other readers should take an example from this delinquent and strive to be the opposite type of individual.
So just what is the excact opposite of a tuna?
I just got back from discussing Maid RPG. Right now am rather vexed and concerned from reading this forum post by someone who claims to be a doctor, posting naught but a single initial ?Z? to identify himself. The post decries and condemns the great changes that are shaping our society today, something he criticizes to be a impinging upon these vague, undefined abstract limitations he calls ?social contracts established by human civilization?. Without cause or reason he declares that it is in our best interests to prevent this thing he baselessly disparages as a threat in order to preserve something he describes as ?our way of life?. I am bothered, troubled, even alarmed that this person could talk of such an atrocious protestation against the very drive of humanity?s progress with such calm, effortless eloquence. That this ?diatribe? of his might even seem logical and persuasive to some, powerful even. I fear what may happen if this person is allowed to speak to the ignorant masses, influencing and swaying their wills. For this thing he attacks, that he demands censure on, is the very power of change! He attempts to impose these restraints, these limits, to the very fuel of human lives. Change moves human civilization forwards. There are no limits, no confines! If anything, the only law of life, the only ?social contract?, is progress. Development and advancement are the very foundations of this ?social contract? that humanity endeavours to uphold every passing day. It is the very basis upon which the institution of life is built. Our way of life depends on it. To impede it would be folly. To curb it would be suicide. To stop it would be death. I look on in anxiety and fear at this. My only hope is that you can decide for yourself the truth and the course of action you must take.
This is a prime example of the degeneracy of today's youth. Perhaps you other readers should take an example from this delinquent and strive to be the opposite type of individual.Or strive to be the same as me and create a world in which we live happily every day. It is your choice, Doc~
That website doesn't work.
Why you do this to me? =[
Not that I am aware of. I read it in a newspaper, which many of you young people may consider obsolete as a medium of information transfer.
I think we should establish a Laevateinn. :3
I'm just wondering what the fuck this is doing on TARC.
That's all.
A cod?
It's settled then. We shall all strive to be cod, or else misery and facism and other silly things will come to. Yes, even if you don't plan on having children who will have children, you must become a cod. Tis urgent.There we go, finally some movement in the right direction. Thank you Doc, for helping with this. The cods of the future shall build you memorials and praise your name.
Oh, fine, if you insist.
I'm just wondering what the fuck this is doing on TARC.
That's all.
Which do you find to be a greater threat of spreading fascism today? The jihadis or the the teahadis?
Same here, really. >.>
EDIT THOUGH NOT REALLY: Welp, that's that sorted I guess. >.>
Nice to see you again, Doc~ How's things~? Not cooking up another evil world domination plot, are we~? 'Cause, y'know, that's what doctors do, right? Plot world domination, right? Or has the media lied to me once more?
I see my topic of discussion has been relocated. This is highly disturbing, as it was the relocation to this same forum that spelled the death of my previous message. I can only come to the conclusion that the moderators who are moving my topics are in league with the harmful cultural forces I am opposed to.
Focusing on such specifically defined political and religious movements means you are missing the main point. If you do not expand your mind, the true threat will be unknown to you until it is too late.
I find it increadibly difficult to take you seriously when you have a constipated, drill haired loli as your avatar.
...oh.
Well then :ohdear:
Looks like we can't experience the Return of Magical☆Kawaii Doctor Z-chan desu! ^_^V
;_;
That particular image was appended to my account during my last topic by someone with administrative privelidges. I did not choose it for myself.LIES.
But good Doctor, the power of change is neither good nor bad. It is neutral. It is what we, humanity, make of it, that gives it value. Let us take the example of the Korean War. While the Korean war ravaged and destroyed the Korean peninsula, it fueled the rebuilding of the Japanese industry and economy from its absolute destruction in World War II. This provided the foundation for Asia's economy and even allowed the forging of South Korea's economic foundations further down in history. In this case, change for the worse caused advancement. Or let us take the more immediate, modernly relevant case of over-abundance. You might say that increasing productivity of food and improvement of nutrition as well as decreasing requirements for labour is a good thing. However, it paradoxically lead to obesity and a decline in health worldwide.
There is no 'good or bad', doctor. There is only 'change' and those too weak to shape it.
Also, it now very early in the morning where I am and I am starting to ramble from sleep deprivation.
excuse me while I bash my head into my monitor repeatedly
I think you should link to the full image from which your avatar comes.
LIES.
LIES.
It's only there because it's a form we'd be comfortable with. For to gaze upon his true form is to gaze upon madness, something that is so wrong and violates so many laws of physics and sanity that your puny mind would shatter into a trillion pieces were you to even set sight on a tiny portion of his being!
Unless you're, like, Erebus or something. Then it's like looking at your granny or something. >.>
References to Lovecraftian fiction? This is a good sign, you are more educated than you appear to be.
References to Lovecraftian fiction? This is a good sign, you are more educated than you appear to be.Wait. Does that mean Cosmic Horrors are the way towards the change you want us to fulfill? That would indeed be a very iteresting method, and likely a successful one as well.
Be that as it may, it's still difficult.You can change it yourself, you know. Do that and you may catch my interest, which to say is something that's worth alot in my eyes.
Wait. Does that mean Cosmic Horrors are the way towards the change you want us to fulfill? That would indeed be a very iteresting method, and likely a successful one as well.
And I am certain that the Horrors are not part of the forces on earth preventing the necessary change, for obvious reasons.

No, I merely speak of cultural knowledge. The methods you must undertake can only be discovered by self-reflection.
So anyway Doctor, you're signature suggests that you have been stalking us. Is this true?
Such an action would imply that I have been upset or angered by the original alteration, which would simply provide the delinquents with more reason to attempt to perturb me.Hmm, I see what you're getting at.
No, I have simply been observing you, as I have been observing all prospective recruits to my cause. It serves a double meaning, as I have also been observing the hostile parties, but with much different intent.To steal their recruiting ideas, I assume.

I notice you haven't actually said what this cause is. Or what you're going against. Or anything, for that matter.

I have explained myself several times, but it is necessary to be cryptic in the event that my messages are being read by the enemy.This method is futile. Unless your expected allies are measurably more intelligent than the enemy, you are simply reducing the overall amount of people who understand you. The ratio of allies who understand to the enemies who understand should stay roughly the same.

The only way your method could work was if you applied actual cryptography with a lingual key that only your allies possess. The way you are doing it, the only thing that seperates your message from your post is a dictionary and a bit of work, for friend and enemy alike.
OH YOU
You have come close to revealing the truth. Think about what you said, and then derive the correct conclusion.
....we are your enemies!!
Incorrect. If you were, I would not approach you with offers of alliance. However, it is possible that some unsavory elements lurk among you.:smug:
You have come close to revealing the truth. Think about what you said, and then derive the correct conclusion.This implies that there actually is a "proper" way to decode your messages and which reveals information far beyond those unneccessarily complicated sentence contructs of yours. However, if that was the case, then your premise of trying to inform the masses, increasing awareness and your number of allies, was doomed from the start, as the people you are trying to inform would require to know your intended method of decoding. Thus you would have to make it public, rendering the entire action moot, especially considering that you openly refrain from using pms to get through to the more promising members of the public.

Incorrect. They are merely too corrupted by their evil intentions to properly comprehend the truth behind my message.
Uu? Don'cha realize that big evily-evils often employ perfectly innocent and unknowing good people at the bottom of the chain to decode things like this?
Incorrect. They are merely too corrupted by their evil intentions to properly comprehend the truth behind my message.Assuming that evil is unable to comprehend good is a logical fallacy, and assumption imprinted upon us by idealistic pieces of fiction designed to subconsciously influence people to do good themselves, even without going into the trouble of defining "good" and "evil", a train of thought trying to establish some sort of moral authority with whom you would then judge a person or situation not by objective standards, but by your subjective perception of what is ethical and what not, leading to errors which may cost you a huge price.

Was I not being accused of paranoia earlier? I would think this accusation should be directed at you, instead.

You don't want that, do you?
I already responded to this concern. Their inability to comprehend is not due to evil thoughts or intentions, but due to the nature of certain specific thoughts and intentions they hold.

Either that, or you are believing in metaphysic crap.
Your skepticism is unhealthy.As of yet, you do not have delivered a piece of evidence that would raise our confidence in your credibility. You demand us to question everything we have come to known, yet demand us to not question yourself. You are asking us to swap in the devil for the beelzebub. Not only that, but your inability to accept the flaws in your strategy shines further doubt on your persona.

Amateur.
This isn't as fun without the tsundere.
Your skepticism is unhealthy.
Questioning me is all you have been doing, but I can assure you that it is a waste of energy and will accomplish nothing.
You again mention this strange term.
Questioning me is all you have been doing, but I can assure you that it is a waste of energy and will accomplish nothing."I've said that I am telling the truth, so obviously I am telling the truth."
On the contrary, skepticism is the sign of a healthy mind. Question everything, don't take anything at face value, and always doubt something unless you have good reason to trust it. Continual questioning of a subject will eventually lead to the truth being revealed. Were it not for skepticism, we'd never get any real answers to anything. >.>
Quite the opposite, if we continue to question you we'll eventually uncover your true purpose. It's only a matter of time.
Uncovering my purpose is precisely what you should be striving for, but you are doing it incorrectly. You must reflect on what I have said and analyze it metaphorically and philosophically, and you will learn the truth.
I don't know if this is a horribly lame waste of my time to read or a hilarious escapade.
Someone decide for me.

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?
You have greatly misapprehended my missive, as I am not in opposition to the overall concept of change, but all change is not for the better. There are positive and negative changes. Positive change will propel humanity into a bright future, unburdened by evils such as poverty, war, disease, and prejudice. The type of change I am referring to is a deleterious assault upon the very foundations of society, which, if allowed to progress unhindered, will lead to the absolute downfall of civilization and a return to the neolithic era at best.
