Pyrotex Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen,welcome to the first electronic meeting of the 12-Step program for people who compulsively type long rambling posts here at Hypography: On-and-on-and-on Anon Quote
alexander Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 do you ever just sit and type a paragraph in an accent of a language, not real language, but pretend-sound-alike language... it makes no real sense but it's just fun to do? I think we are going to need a hell of a lot more steps to cure this kind of a problem, its not even really that extensive key pressing is really an issue in our environment, i mean admit it, some of us have more friends online then the real friend, besides i find it easier to express my thoughts in typed text then actually speaking to a person, because i can make words with no body language explain my thoughts a hell of a lot better then actually attempting to verbally communicate the idea. Typoholicism is not a disease that is really spread everywhere, only some people have it. But aside from the world view on this issue, there is a very specific type of typohilicism, i call it hypoholicism, and its based on an addiction to scientific thought that gets expressed through randomly long scientific ramblings on topics that really have no backed scientific basis. Describing for example a tendency to express your thoughts through structured, typed communication as a disease that infects computer-bound scientifically-minded intellectuals, is just one example of such a application of scientific-mindedness to web reality; and there are very few places on the web where such things can be expressed, or rather seeded, hypography is definitely one. So back to the thought that 12 steps is clearly not enough to cure this nonexistent, purely hypothetical problem that we are not addressing because it does not exist, unless it does, in which case we are. The undermined factors of it's hypothetical existence force the probability of a need for a cure. But unlike real addictions affecting millions of people today, like porn, alcohol or religion, this hypothetical addiction is not just a mental or a physical addiction, there is a factor in it that is not present in the currently defined addiction, neither porn, alcohol or religion are beings capable of communicating back, thus there is no feel of needing to communicate, not just before you want to, or you are bored, or you have a physical craving to, but also you feel compelled to return because you know that there is someone who will be reading and possibly responding to your post, thus using a tertiary factor further affecting one's addiction. Thus 12 steps will have to be extended to compensate for the fact that there is another factor. one factor addiction curing takes the square root of 12 steps, or 4 steps therefore with three factors the amount of steps should be around 4^3 or 64 steps... 64 seps to cure hypoholicism.....
