Oops, I forgot to be abstract
Well I was in a sensei class and I made a mistake. When asked to explain what a technique felt like I explained what happened in a non abstract fashion. I should have gotten a page out of the arts playbook and made my answer more nebulous. I guess the problem with my answer was it would make sense to people with my background. Mechanically it was correct and many people said from what I described to what they saw it made sense. But for those who are not connected to a solid understanding of mechanical things, this would not clarify anything.
Next time I will talk about animals and the earth moving around the sun and random nobel laureates<spelling corrected>.
If you need any help not being a robot ad pretending that you have something that could be described as a soul, please let me know. I will see if I can dig up some poetry and have it read by a mechanical voice so that you can interpret it in that cold void you call a cavity where most of us have a heart.
Fudoshin sir, one day you may turn into a REAL boy.
Scotty, we miss you….
LOL
well I just ruined a good pair of jeans……
How about some insight on Nagato-sensei’s classes, now that you’re on it? 😉 That’d be very nice! Did you get to hear some of his oft-interesting stories during the kyukei in his classes?
Funny Scotty, I seem to have gotten the interpretation down using my mechanical understanding whereas the art were used to stroke ego and offer nothing worthwhile to the conversation. Nothing unexpected though.
BR,
I can give my insight, the question is do you want it here or another post?
You obviously are not watching enough Discover Channel 😉
OBVIOUSLY, your description was wrong, as it didn’t incorporate a post-modernist deconstruction of how all descriptions are equally valid, followed by a hermaneutic analysis of how your upbringing in a post industrial/military complex inherently taints your knowing, thereby denying the equally valid ways of knowing a posteriori that others in the room derive from a more holistic gestalt…
…wait a minute….
…AND another thing! “nobel loriates”?
It should be “Nobel laureates”.
You sir, betray your pedigree, and are certainly no scholar! I now find myself questioning your status as a gentleman as well. Mayhap someone over there will give you a sound thrashing of their cane, or give you the what for in a round of fisticuffs, you carpetbagger!
I bid you good day!
Wow, I have been outdone by someone who knows.
I tip my hat to you.
Just getting back to this…….perhaps you, Anton, could e-mail it to me, or if you need to, share it here. (in that order)
