I assumed "Swimming Pool" was another game rather than a movie. I've always enjoyed Charles Dance's acting, but maybe I'll pass on watching his performance in that movie. Since you've mentioned memes before, perhaps a biological analogy would suit you better than an economic one, Halsted. Human social interation is an exchange of memes similar to the way bacteria conjugate to exchange plasmids, enhancing the fitness of the population. We give over some portion of our own mental capacity to processing other people's thoughts. Memes that enhance sociability tend to increase in frequency. ... Hm! ... Both analogies offer plausible explanations as to why being, or Dasein as Heideggar put it, has two aspects, the authentic and the inauthentic. lol … I assumed “Swimming Pool” was another game rather than a movie.

Not as strange as getting someone else's music, but what does that mean? Maybe that fingernail person wants to make a voodoo doll. ... ;-) ... lol ... That would be very strange. Are we commodities in a market? ... :-/ ... Whenever we socialize, to some degree we do trade being ourselves for being one of them, whoever that social group happens to be. We think, say and do as they think say and do rather than as each of ourselves would, if each of us were by ourselves. Perhaps, the question is not "What does this mean?" but "What is the deal?". Is the exchange mutually enriching? Now that you get Interpol's "Antics" album, are you one of them -- the fans of Interpol? ... :-) Meeting someones breasts thoroughly in a computer game seems a strange connection.

VERY funny!!! :D Anywho...yeah, Halsted...I'll never get that about people. I guess it's the distance of the internet in that people are unreal to them. In other words, they'd never say that to someone they know, but to someone they don't know(you), who's not really there where they are, they would. I'm putting it very well into words...sorry. Ehhhhhhh, I'm sure that you understand...either that or you're swatting my mosquito-self away!!! :P OK, later... Firstly, to who said the eyes thing…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! VERY funny!!! :D

That seems like an extremely common attitude, especially when it comes to celebrities (and in a sense, you are a sort of web celebrity, in certain circles). Our culture has many different and interesting facets, and one of them is the notion that self-centered satiation of any and all desires should be our primary goal, and thus any attempt to block this becomes a hostile act. People who think this way are very, very dangerous. “I like you, therefore you owe me.” That seems like an extremely common attitude, especially when it comes to celebrities (and in a sense, you are a sort of web celebrity, in certain circles).
