[QUOTE]Originally posted by Callipygous: [qb] ...in another thread recently he announced that after a quick Google he had decided that the cause of the rise in oil price was speculators and only speculators. ...the important thing is that in true binary fashion it, in ASM's view, is the only cause, and that's that, no more argument or investigation is necessary. [/qb][/QUOTE]If you had read all of his rants in that thread, you'd have found that... a) High oil prices are a good thing, as they'll convince americans to be less wasteful of oil. b) High oil prices are a bad thing, and them nasty price-fixing arabs are to blame. c) High oil prices are a good thing, it's ridiculous to sell petrol cheaper than Coca Cola. d) High oil prices are a bad thing, and them nasty speculators are to blame. e) The Market is a good thing, because it will encourage americans to be less wasteful of oil. f) The Market is a bad thing, because it lets them nasty speculators get away with their evil deeds. Oh, and there was a photo of himself spontaneously combusting, not sure what that signified, but it added to the generally confused ambiance. (and somehow all of the above was a criticism of Barak Obama :crazy: ) If you want to use a computer analogy for ASM's brain, a quantum computer would be a better match. His mind isn't binary, it's in a nebulous state of quantum superposition, capable of holding several conflicting opinions at the same time. When he types, he's trying to explain a complex mix of 2-to-the-power-of-my-overdraft contradictory ideas at the same time, only small fragments of each make it onto the page, and inevitably the result is an incoherent mess. His occasional 'binary' interludes may be the result of his mother coming down to the basement to call him for dinner, he's been 'observed' and the probability waveform collapses into a single eigenstate, for a while. Once I'd given up on ever establishing meaningful communication with such a confused individual, I was able to just sit back and enjoy the sheer surrealism of it, it's like being in a room with 144 televisions all tuned to different channels, the closest you'll get to being stoned without breaking the law.
