Is the time of “miracles” past?

I doubt it, but from my side as a lifelong outsider with no local social network, and I don't mean this in a mocking way, but I wonder why at your age you still go around trying to hurt other people with your words.

P.S. -- as for thinking I might be Robbie C under another username -- I get that. I often connect the dots wrong after so many beers. Which is why I don't drink wine or hard liquor anymore.

I am happy for your progress.

Sure, in recent times I and perhaps others have learned that the ability to think and write in paragraphs might seem to be pretentious, controlling, and dare I say conniving to some others who have leveled up their skills in other areas. I happen to know someone who only seems to address other people in paragraphs, and that is not quite working for him.

But for me that development came naturally, perhaps inadvertently. Other people have their own talents and decisions to make re: where to allocate their skill points.

I suspect you might be someone who is well capable of thinking in paragraphs but who deliberately chooses to "dumb it down" in many circumstances, and that's completely understandable. It's important to adapt and modulate our forms of expression, not necessarily to manipulate or fool other people, but just to get along with them (or at least to form a rapport to prep for taking unfair advantage of them).

As for me, on RHP I don't feel any social need to "dumb it down" -- we are all smart people here in all our variety.

It's a tough crowd. One might think "Behold the Cosmos" would be a show-stopper and get a standing ovation, but people are so nit-picky and unappreciative these days.

So, in effect, if it weren't for your own imagination, you wouldn't bother posting. Well, that makes sense. But you should probably see someone about that generalized anxiety that makes you see enemies everywhere you look. While you're there, you can ask about the anti-social neurotic tendencies you display here. Maybe even look into your elimination issues. Were you completely potty-trained? Or were you beaten for soiling your nappies?
