IP Has anyone told you that you are probably the best philosopher of the modern world? KU Just now. Just now someone did. You did. Thank you! I always want to be understood and when I am, it's magical. That just made me very happy, Isaac. Thanks IP Umm that movie just sums up all of your vine videos... a 10 year old child in a man's body. I mean it makes perfect sense! Your philosophical vines are your inner child trying to understand the world around him, and your goofy vines are your inner child's way of playing. A real "Kenspiracy" theory KU You nailed it That's exactly it! I do all the serious stuff I have to but when I have a few free seconds (6.8 seconds to be exact) here and there, I'm saying, "What if?" or "I got it all figured out!" or being ridiculous. I've always been like that, but Vine gives me a chance to show it off better. The clown philosopher who takes everything and nothing seriously at the same time and wants a Like here and there. KU "Kenspiracy" - I'll have to use that somewhere Yeah - when I was 11, at a weekend camping trip - for a few minutes I felt like I could see the whole universe and all of time and within myself all at once. It was really cool - and no, no drugs. So ever since I've been trying to see "what lies beneath?" everything. 11 yr old me continues the investigation - he never stopped and, well, he's also me. BH Loved this. I like how you use yer picture. It's like a Michel Gondry film! [1]KU I couldn't remember who Michel Gondry was yet I had the sense that it was a compliment. I wanted to see how high of a compliment it was, so I could gauge an appropriate response that was genuine, authentic, meaningful, true and accurate, translated into forms transmittable via the Internet for the maximum potential that its message will be decompressed and reconstructed via analogy to Brian Hobbs' emotional states and he could feel how I feel, once I comprehend just how to feel! So, I just saw this: [2]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQNMX-xn5_Y [3]and ... ... I realized that this thread contains two of the greatest compliments I may have ever received thus far in my lifetime-as-I-know-it. There is but one other I can recall that is of the same calibre, so you may compare/contrast/absorb for your edification. I believed in somebody once long ago, an unshakable faith in who he was and would always be, and in the capabilities and raw power he had within him. I lost contact. We were both teenagers. Friends. I found the perfect words for him once just when he needed it and he returned the favor many years later to me. In his message to me, I received this: "The boy I was thanks you for the man I have become. The man I am thanks you for the boy that you once saved. I own 80% of how I see myself and who I am thanks to you. Thanks Ken!" [4]Isaac Purinton [5]Brian Hobbs [6]- Thank you. I carry perfect compliments like my friend Dan does. I hope this expresses my Thanks properly. BH Kenneth Udut- you are a man of deep thinking and emotion. Something that can be rare, when some give primacy of one over the other. True wisdom is to feel our thinking and think on our feeling. You do that, good sir! KU Thank you - I try to live with my heart in my mind and my mind in my heart, neither afraid of making logical mistakes nor afraid of expressing my exuberance the times it comes along. Also [7]Isaac Purinton 's perfect summary of "Who I am on Vine" and your response just here, makes for four equally amazing compliments. I'm easily dissuaded by certain forms of negativity and when I doubt myself, the sense can last for decades - but the right compliments turns the demons into shadows that get wiped away by bright sunlight. The sun was never lost after all, just obscured. Marvelous feeling.
