"You say that in jest, but institutionalizing uncian detractors is one of the key ways in which the establishment keeps truthbearers under their thumb. If ever I'm locked up, it will be because I'm a political prisoner and not because I'm mentally unstable."
Yeah, here's the thing.....all the crazies say that. I'm a psych nurse. The locked wards are plumb full to bursting with political prisoners and reincarnations of Marilyn Monroe.

So...you've tried it, then? No wonder you're blathering on about uncian beasts, Badakhstan beings, and other broad-spectrum bizarreness on the (bird)brain.
Everyone knows you cannot teach our feathered friends the fine points of anything to do with physics.

And some spotted slippers so he can shuffle through the ward.

Perhaps your particular expertise can be of use here, Ms. Welts. Suppose a psych panel is deciding whether to commit a young lady who we'll call "Alicia". Alicia is a successful, highly educated engineer. Well above average IQ, able to function well in society, physically attractive, and gifted with many technical talents that she employs on a daily basis. However (and here's the kicker), Alicia has openly declared that after she dies, if given the choice to be reincarnated as either an engineer or a snow leopard, she would willingly choose reincarnation as a snow leopard. Now, the admitting board has clearly explained to her what this would mean. Alicia would be: - forsaking every last one of her creative and cognitive faculties to adopt the base intellect of a creature with an IQ between 10 and 15
- forsaking the limitless technical prowess of an engineer (the ability to send a rocket ship to the moon, even) for the feeble-minded survival instincts of a snow leopard, which couldn't move a 10 pound rock 40 feet even if it had the vaguest notion of what a "rock" was
- forsaking the enjoyment of art, culture, cuisine, theater, music, world travel, social gatherings, games, debates, the written word, the spoken word, martial arts, sports, romance, and countless other human enjoyments for an existence defined by slaughtering prey, sleeping in damp caves, mating once a year (painfully), staving off disease, and struggling to do nothing more than survive in a short, meaningless existence
- forsaking a social lifespan of 80-100 years for a solitary lifespan of 15-20 years
- forsaking the deep meaning and purpose inherent in human life, and furthermore forsaking the special calling given to engineers
- forsaking a beautiful, strong, shapely human body--devoid of parasites and disease, equipped with exceptional strength, prehensile digits, opposable thumbs, an ability to climb, swim, throw, carry, reach, vault gracefully--for a feline body draped in mottled, stinking, urine-soaked, parasite-infested fur, beset by ungainly paws, a bestial maw and a ridiculously disproportionate tail, devoid of any prehensile (or even dextrous) appendages, forced to squat, lick, step in, nudge, bite in order to realize any kind of manipulative ability at all
- forsaking an endless variety of foods and beverages for a forced diet of goat entrails (complete with blood, mucus, intestinal and fecal matter)
- forsaking any real familial bonds, any notions of comradeship, patriotism, friendship, and/or love
I could go on. But for now... Supposing having heard all of this, Alicia still confidently states that her preference is to be reincarnated as a snow leopard rather than an engineer. Will you kindly tell the people of EE (they need to hear this) that if you were a member of the admissions board, you would surely deem Alicia mentally unfit to remain at large in society. She would remain in your care until she was of sound mind again. Maybe we'll make some headway if they hear it from you rather than from me.

LMAO, SWAMP!
And frankly, Virgil, your plea is akin to preaching to the choir. No one here is of sufficiently sound mind to deem anyone else of sound or unsound mind. That's why we're here.

Mentally unfit??? No, not at all. I'd set her loose on society.

I don't care if she wants to come back as a snow leopard or dung beetle....she's sane. Now, if she's doing anything to intentionally harm herself in order to hasten the process, that's different.

The snow leopard to dung beetle comparison won me over. Not at all, dear Pig. It's a compliment. Archie plainly understands that I can write. It's a well known fact that the only creatures other than humans that are capable of writing are superhumans. Powerful celestial beings that sometimes deign to take human form, for instance. Furthermore, Archie's "Virgil" reference is clearly in the context of a "we're only human" sense. That is, he's bemoaning human weaknesses but excepting myself. I'm flattered but really he goes too far in his praise.

I am usually so late getting to threads that I skipped to page 3 since I figured it would be way off topic by now. Am I going to have to go back to page one to see what the heck everyone is talking about? Nah, I saw several references to tomatoes and vodka. Think I will just fix a drink and pretend I know what this is all about

Sometimes it's best just to nod and agree with Virgil instead of trying to figure out what he's rambling about. If it is magic dust he's ingesting, he could at least share - then maybe his posts would make more sense.

And if they didn't make more sense, we would at least be able to nod senselessly and just enjoy them, instead of sitting here, heads snapping and eyes rolling back in our heads as we try vainly to make sense of him. I mean, listening to him is like listening to a parrot talk about quantum mechanics.
