Magical Thinking Nbr. 01
Dear readers, please copy and paste this text wherever appropriate in your on-line chats. Thank you.
Hello xxxxx. Please improve your insult list. Please start saying “invalid magical thinking” instead of just “magical thinking” when you insult people.
...Saying this insult without the extra qualifier, as you just did, insults a lot of people who care deeply about magical thinking.
...All the Tree Huggers and Pagans for example, and the philosophical followers of Dr. Jung, and the Poets and Novelists and Picture Painters, and Small Children who study Dance.
...These are people who are already on our side, and many of them quite philosophically advanced in our direction. It's probably better if you don't thoughtlessly insult them.
...You understand, I'm saying this as your likely friend and ally.
...And here's the plus side...
...You saying “invalid magical thinking”, instead of just “magical thinking”, in a list of insults, that would kick the philosophical can down the road, challenging all the Little Children and the Druids, and all them like that, to consider good versus bad in their field of expertise. And that would be a good thing.
...I'll be glad to discuss this matter further.
…Best wishes, Stone Riley
