Labeling people, even in jest, doesn't really accomplish anything. People are not limited or defined by such arbitrary "analyses".

You couldn't be anymore wrong. Psycho-analysis is a powerful trait that not everyone can do right now, but anyone could take up. In criminal studies, psycho-analysis is what groups the criminal into a frame where you could predict their next move. Many psycho-analysis and composite drawings that were made with very little to no information actually becomes their most valuable piece of evidence to catch the more dangerous of criminals.

Labels labels labels, Your world is so small and boring man, dont you want to join us in the unknown and actually see for yourself if its they way they say it is?

No matter what you make it out to be, it's more than labels. This entire universe is prompted on a dualistic system that is variated by scales and properties. People will always fall into a 'stereotype', 'label', 'ritual', or 'pattern'. I prefer the word 'pattern' for the actual connections between people's actions and decisions. There is clearly a distinctive system of patterns to be descried in this world, so much that movies & TV tropes have severely broken down the psychology of this world and have managed to immitate nearly everything anyone or any group has ever done. Then there are people who know how to fabricate their own personalities and lives. Then two other questions surface, 1) Who taught the first teacher, and 2) Why are we vegetables if we are locked up for our entire lives?

it's not boring but it is small, anything that he can't quantify scares him. As humans we can't help but label things but he's gone into a place that only a few dare to tread.

That's why I'm one of the few who think in a way that lead me to write this piece of literature:

"The better question is: why base our existence on a single question about our existence? If we are so concerned about our existence, then why waste it to question our existence? I would rather live my existence, than question it. I would rather do both, but if I do not have the answers, then so be it. I would rather be in mutual reality, than think what I could be and what I think I see of me."

"clearly a distinctive system of patters" Are you suggesting that things aren't random but are 'predetermined' actions that we have no way of changing, that we as a person can not change our selves? Cause I feel that's what you're saying than...I feel sorry for you, but not really I don't actually care about you at all.

Then clearly you don't understand the reason for questions. Questions bring answers and answers bring more questions. Questioning our own existence helps understand more about the world and how we 'tick' if you don't question anything what's the point of living? I know I can't simply accept that ' we are what we are' and not ask the question. Why? But you can live happily without actually asking questions more power to you. May you suffocate on your own waste you sad, sad man.

As in an immutable design? No and yes. I'm non-religious; I'm a universal-thinker, a free-thinker, an ubermensch. I am not implying that there is one answer and that answer is just another question called "God". I'm talking about something deeper and more complex. Something beyond the mere concepts of God and Matrix.

There are a lot of basic lessons you can learn through the Bible and the Matrix, but neither of them are asking the right questions about what is and what is not. They both conceal themselves under a thought-process that defines itself, such as the Bible is supposed to be an allegorical story, whereas the Matrix is supposed to be a concept about 'what if' the world was a computer simulation that was governed by the vat we cannot consciously acknowledge inside of our minds. However, people are story-tellers, children, hopeful and primitive creatures that spin and twist these two concepts into their life's work. What I am talking about is more than any of this. It's about consequences, actions, decisions, comprehensions, wills and our consciousness.

It's about the universe being our teacher. It's about how the universe speaks without words, it knows without knowledge, it thinks without a mind, and it is, without being.

It's about the one thing people cannot twist into their lives because it is the very thing that governs our theoretical lifestyles.

lol this thread is great. i know you're not just trying to stereotype. i see that you took some creativity and applied it to society's common male stereotypes. bravo. funny thread. a lot o ffun thinking about it too.

God damn it, I'm a nerd.
