Jesus Christ I detest team sports. Grown men throwing balls around
and people admiring same because of social conditioning.
Paraphrasing Slider, "Strike out and be an outsider". Be more
"evolved" in the euphemistic sense. Here's a test:
If you weren't conditioned by your father or uncle or your school
mates or whomever to admire a particular team of baseball players or
NFL players or whatever, would you have spontaneously admired them, or
the sports themselves, left purely to your own devices?
If you understand the question, and you answer that no, you would not
have gone down that path in absence of your father's, uncle's,
brother's or whomever's influence on you when you were small and impressionable, then - you are social conditioned.
In other words, you've been brainwashed.
You can never be an outsider, a loner, a true individual, a completely
self reliant human being, an independent and objective thinker, a
person who falls into the category defined by the stoics.
You're cattle.
"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority,
but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane"

Yeah, this is a great World Series.
Now tied up at 2 games each.
Having a sports rivalry is only minor fun
for most people.

It *is* minor Slider. A mere observation, just an outlier to my inner philosophy. It ain't nothin'...
But you're not brainwashed Dave are you? Not one of those cults and
sects managed that with you, did they? You stand stoic and strong, unaffected by all those failed searchings and yearnings for the truth.

She deals with matters which are lower than the lowest court. That
doesn't take a great deal of intelligence and her experience and the
multiple waivers the *contestants* endorse before each *show* take
care of the remaining potential issues.
In our lowest courts here, the Magistrates Courts, run of the mill
matters dealt with every day, day in day out, are far more complex
than these idiocies.
But she's very cleverly carved out a fiscal empire for herself. She's
very good at that.

In truth, they are huge. Those who scorn these things because they
don't understand them are doomed to bleakness and a wasted life. The benefits of being voluntarily different in these ways and then
observing just how brainwashed and obedient the masses are from this perspective, are very significant and tantamount to personal
happiness.
I would have thought Dave would understand with his apparently once
endless quests for meaning and reality - all of which made him an
outsider relative to the general populace. I guess he's back on the
team now :)

said regarding it!?
They are indeed. People have a tendency to blindspots and self
delusion. The questions are right in front of everybody. The answers
are there to be found but take a little effort, a little disengagement
and a willingness to be as objective and trustless as possible.
or didn't you mean everything you just said about outsider-loners?
I meant every word. I live by that philosophy. I'll die by it too.
strange :)
