One definition of an insane person is someone who does something over and over and expects a different result?

Question

So...why DO we come back to R&S day after day?


C'mon, admit it. The shallow end of the gene pools not so bad...it's warm here.

Answer 1

So then, this definition applies to both religious people that pray, and Edison who invented the light bumb - he tried over and over and over, expecting a different result. After several THOUSAND attemps, he succeeded.

So, I guess youre somewhat right - the shallow end aint half bad...

Answer 2

The questions are not that hard to answer. Another point a person can raise is that doing the same thing over and over again and expects a different result is insane then why all the political nonsense and warfare race theories , and belief that the markett will somehow control things. It seems that the same things done before WW2 which caused a massive collapse are being repeated again and again while expecting different results than resistance to policies that ruin people. It seems insane to label people as somehow evil who resist. Suppose a people want to end a war just want to be left alonebut are portrayed as fanatical people who refuse to surrender and make repeated attempts to get it to end but can not because the intent of the invading force is to wipe out the entire population all the while portraying each as a fanatical soldier when not everyone is a soldier and there is no fanaticism. Imaginary war does show an insanity of a type possible in any humanoid species if not other types. As a fantasy writer puts it ''Who said the being the most belligerent species had anything to do with being smart''

Answer 3

You should try job preparation courses in the UK. They teach exactly that same phrase, then get you to sit in front of a PC, applying for a minimum amount of jobs per day. For me it was 50.

I am insane because I keep sending these letters and expecting an acceptance letter.

As for R&S, I DO keep getting results, so it's always a pleasure. I never seem to get the intended result, but i always learn, which is result enough for me.

And back to job-hunting, I'm happily employed now, by NOT doing what I was told. They wanted to send me on the same course over, but I applied for a different one, and got my result.

Sometimes looking at a much bigger picture enhances the finest detail in the small one.

Answer 4

yeah this is supposed to be a Q&A but has evolved into a chat room like atmosphere.
R&S specifically I mean has become sort of a forum. As an example if someone asks the question is it legal not to believe in god. we could all just say no. If someone asks is it ethical to not believe in god we would begin to vary. If the question was is it moral not to believe in god we would argue. Oh well it's entertaining but i think I will moderate my participation from here on out.

Answer 5

Might have something there Skalite...
I come here to ask legitimate questions in other areas then stop in here for entertainment because I can see what people find interesting.
Now and then asking a question or two.
Ahhh yes most of the world is nutz
