Well, I'm bored, and the guild is slow. So what to do? Well, I often feel that I'm arguing with myself, so here, for your amusement, is me, arguing with myself.

Do you really think that's wise? People are going to think badly of you.

I've never really cared about what people think about me. I just be myself. People can take it or leave it.

What about your friends? You do care about them.

Yes, I suppose I do. Still, worse to worse, it wouldn't be the end of the world. No one should rely on others for happiness. My friends, I care about them, but I won't lean on them. They don't need a leech, just someone to be friendly with.

I think you're missing my point. What your friends think of you is important, no matter what kind of relationship you have with them.

Point. Who I am is defined by how people see me. But wouldn't I want people to see me as I am?

Is that who you are? Or who you see yourself to be?

True; reality is defined by perception. But perception must come from somewhere. My perception itself is influenced by how I think, who I am.

Yes. However, you are being introspective. That requires a perception. The fact that you are perceiving yourself makes no difference; you are looking, and interpreting what you see.

Hmm, I must disagree. Am I really being introspective, or am I just acting? Being myself, in an active rather then passive form.

Every question is an introspection. What you ask, why you ask, even how you ask it forms first as a question within yourself. This is because you must first ask yourself, and it is only once you cannot answer it that you turn to others and ask.

But I've extrapolated that process into the world by arguing with myself. Is that introspective? I'm not sure, because I'm creating an abstract boundary that turns the thought process into a quasi-social process. As a result, each question is a response to the last one, so is each answer. There is no introspection first, because this is in place of introspection. Call it extraspection I suppose.

I see. There cannot be any real interpretation, because all of this is a continuous process that is arbitrarily separated. So you aren't actually 'responding' to anything, you are simply allowing thought to follow thought, and re-wording that into a discussion format. So the question now comes to the nature of thought, and whether thought equates to perspective, or whether thought leads to perspective.

A good question. One that I will answer another time.
To my viewers, I thank them for watching this episode of Crazy Scrya theater.
