#syllogism?

There's one headcanon some people (including me) have and it's that Maedhros renamed Thauron.

Sources I found say that the name could be either/both Quenya and Sindarin, but if Maedhros named him, I'm guessing it was Quenya (when did the Fëanorions learn Sindarin? I don't know if Maedhros even knew it).

If Maedhros named Thauron, in Quenya, he would have used the thorn (The root word is probably saura/thaura).

Additionally, Morgoth (and by extension, possibly Thauron) hates Fëanáro, so the thorn would make the name that much more annoying. Which was probably the goal.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is:

If Maedhros renamed Mairon

And if Maedhros named him in Fëanorian Quenya

Then the name would properly be pronounced Thauron, not Sauron.

Ronan has a type (Adam, thereby Declan, thereby his father, thereby himself) and Adam has a type (Declan, thereby himself, thereby Ronan) and Declan has a type (judging by the way he introduced himself to the woman he later marries with "you remind me of my brother", Ronan, thereby his father, thereby himself, thereby Adam)

i just really need a freudian psychologist to get involved here

freud actually wrote them. so maybe a freudian psychologist should get a little less involved maybe that would help them out

Syllogism:

Orchids are parasitic.

Rhian's soul is represented by phantom orchids.

->

Rhian's soul is parasitic.

I have seen hundreds, maybe thousands of butts in the course of 17+ years of being an aide/nurse/PCA. That does, of course, count the same people multiple times but if I have to see your ass crack five times a night I’m counting it in my tally.

I have also seen a lot, and I mean a LOT, of nuts.

I’ve noticed two things as truths.

1. I don’t know at what age it happens but 95%+ of my little old men patients HAVE NO ASS. They look like a frog standing on its hind legs and wearing pants.

2. The older they are, the longer their balls get. How these guys don’t sit on them or have em dribbling out their pant leg, I have no idea.

Now it’s time for a syllogism. (A syllogism is a three part statement where if the first two parts are true then the last part has to be true as well.)

1. Old men have no butts. 2. Old men have long nuts. Therefore 3. The nuts are connected to the butts and act in the same way a face lift does - the balls drag the ass inwards and when they have no ass their balls are at their lowest.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk, I will be taking no questions.

Go to 31:15 for the specific bit I learned this from. I recommend watching the whole thing though. 1991. I think I was seven or so. I LOVED the “inter-bed demented howling” and “lint-sucking, melting, coal mining stumps” bits.

“Vulcan science fiction of that period—couched in those favourite Vulcan literary forms, the epic poem and the serial syllogism—is some of the best literature to be found on any world, and it fanned to a blaze a whole world’s smouldering interest in the stars.”

The Romulan Way, Diane Duane and Peter Morwood

No I am totally not over Vulcan science fiction taking the form of epic poem and syllogism. I love that.

“I’ve realized that Iris is ART’s Ratthi” is one of the Murderbot lines of all time actually. Iris and ART are functionally siblings.

Opposites are opposites

Morning fair, and shipwreck’d hull; Nightshade with the woodbine kissing; Serpents in red roses hissing; ⎻ John Keats

So I feel fragile and stupid, doing close to nothing, waiting out, wasting time trying to see what’s next. On the other hand, if I am to drop, just for a second, the time-obsessed stubborn get-back-down-to-earth-you-piece-of-slimy-shit approach I will see that I must take the most out of life.

Snake always knows what he's signing up for, can I trust myself a little further? Shall I?

What is dragging me down? The fear of losing comfort together with the all-mighty, highly marketed lust for more. (Hello minimalism) Let’s define that as being lazy and closely focused, tunnelled in a smart modern squeaky way.

This is, basically, trying to compensate for the unbalanced parts. Rather like moieties, it is much easier to leverage a trade-off than we tend to consider:

1. Opposites, actually, are opposites and aren’t related to each other at all (the fuck they’re not, but we’ll brood on that later) For instance: - Dating is hard for me, so I go do more dating! Not bad, not a syllogism but close enough to create an illusion we all love ⎻ being right!

And then shit happens, or the fun starts …

2. Forward is the only way our actions take us (Can you folks smell what I smell? The piles of 💩 cliché) - What do I want to begin? And what do I want to continue? - Being free, has proven more difficult than just following a certain path… However, are we ever certain? Set? Determined to satisfy a need and progress further? 3. Differentiating is powerful. [Can't take the whole pie in, slice it up]

4. The game is on ‘autosave’ by default. (Which can be heavily related to the previous model of thinking.) - To love and care without much drama or suffering, after years on pause, I finally have the means of doing what I want and how I want it. Let me ask, and do you? It got away, slipped through the fingers, disappeared into thin air... Opposites aren't trade-offs! Thriving on the contrast and divide makes describing easy and functional, whereas comprehension and understanding are looming in the gloom silhouettes. 📷 Montevideo, Uruguay 2023 (love how this photo came out to be a perfect imperfection) Vibes: https://open.spotify.com/track/4wt36rVlPalOn7JxrkNp6J?si=2c9ade8dbda04cda
