Thus spake Douglas Roberts circa 10-02-19 12:47 PM:

No. I just want to know why you sent this stuff to this list? I could
infer many relevant applied complexity points from this story. But I
would only be putting words in your mouth.
So far, it seems like you just got pissed and are willing to waste
everyone's time thinking about you and your life. That's certainly how
it feels when you "groan, not again" in response to someone who wants to
talk about emergence for the umpteenth time. It's like, "uh-oh, Doug
doesn't want to talk about this; so he's going to make a bunch of
dissatisfaction noises". At least, however, you're content-less "groan,
not again" messages are on topic for the list. It's similar for overly
"academic" topics/posts you continually bitch about. "Uh-oh, if I use
words or concepts that are too vague, we'll get a bunch of
dissatisfaction noises out of Doug." Even THOSE silly rants against
academic language are on topic.
But this little episode is PURE narcissism on your part. Or at least it
seems that way. I'm hoping you'll make some deeper point about, say,
the semi-permeable membranes of the "corporation" or something.
Note that I'm fine with this being a "bitch about random things" mailing
list, if that's the way you want to use it. I just didn't think that's
what it was about.
