This is a woman who quit blogging because some anonymous troll made a threatening comment.<BR/><BR/>She's too sensitive and too easily frightened. I suggest she lock herself in her closet where no one can get at her.Billy Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601334514415948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331029936442305654.post-53402993173957024322008-07-02T14:23:00.000-05:002008-07-02T14:23:00.000-05:00The totality of one's consciousness.. by which I m...The totality of one's consciousness.. by which I mean both conscious and unconscious.. in the Freudian sense, and personal and collective in a Jungian sense, has Impact on shaping... well everything.. from what words you use, the subject,.. all the none verbal stuff... the pitch / timber / etc via which ones speaks... if you tune into it, you really can be a mind reader.<BR/><BR/>To take it a step further.. in a Nietzschean sense there is a relationship between will and morality.. which imprints its self on this stuff to...<BR/><BR/>There's a huge amount of sensory data, and what have you, passing through us all the time.. much much more then we can be consciously aware of, let alone consciously process.. will and morality speak to what of that data we do perceive and process... and what books are on your book shelves... are as indicative of this as what thoughts are in your mind.<BR/><BR/>The challenge in reading someone's book shelf is to understand what's "the organizing factors," or how is it expressive of this stuff: <BR/><BR/>Clearly, because at a certain age I was listening to a lot of Heavy Metal.. and Ozzy Osboune... I was an emotionally disturbed individual, right? Ok.. I probably was, though not in a bad sense.. more in the sense that the world around me was making me that way.. and the Heavy Metal was like.. tools for mitigating this.<BR/><BR/>The point is that sometimes our own prejudices color our perceptions.. One can learn to pick up cues from book shelves.. but an immature practitioner of such a skill... will no doubt have immature results.. so I imagine much of the twitter talk about how you perhaps couldn't make these sorts of judgements comes from folks whom have had more contact with the immature practitioners then the mature ones.. and are perhaps them selves immature practitioners.. but then again, one has to be immature before one can be mature!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331029936442305654.post-4270494891815001592008-07-02T14:05:00.000-05:002008-07-02T14:05:00.000-05:00The flip side is that you can also find books or C...The flip side is that you can also find books or CDs or DVDs that you have in common.<BR/><BR/>Certainly in an interview situation it is wise to look around the shelves and if appropriate ask a question.<BR/><BR/>It's always wise to be aware of your surroundings. I continue to learn to effectively rely on my intuition as well, which is often more trustworthy than what I can see.<BR/>@fairminderJim Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300711437186383697noreply@blogger.com
