You can practically say whatever you want so long as it is under the guise of joking.

The logical idiot

Logic is a rather interesting thing. I'd say most people are not logical beings. Most people are driven by emotion and bias. I think it's possible to be incredibly intelligent, yet not very logical. And vice versa. Though it seems like an oxymoron to say the illogical genuis, I'd say it's a very possible thing. That's because, you can be smart in any number of things. You can be a smart mechanic, or a smart trucker. Nobody is smart about everything. Intelligence is different in that it's more about your potential to be smart about various things. Not very intelligent people may cap out at being smart about trucking. Extremely intelligent people are potentially limitless in what they can do, but more notably, not in what they will do. See, as I said, it's impossible that you can be truly smart about everything. That is true even for the most intelligent. They must specialize. Logic is one of those specialties. It's true that most intelligent people are lo...

Is choosing not to act an action in of itself?

In order to properly answer this question, we should examine the definitions of a few words. To start, an action is defined by google as the fact or process of doing something, typically to achieve an aim. Not performing an action would be the refusal to participate in the fact or process of doing something. Typically, one refuses to act because he or she disagrees with the aim that the action would help to achieve. So by that definition, would choosing not to act be an action in of itself? The answer is no. Choosing not to act is by definition, the absence of action. Saying that not acting is an action is like saying 0=1. Simply put, it does not compute. It makes no logical sense. In the same way that someone who claimed 0=1 would be told that he or she does not understand mathematics, somebody that says inaction is an action will be told that he or she do not understand language.

My worst enemy and Self-deprication

Who is my worst enemy you ask? Well that would be me. There is nobody on this planet more critical of me than me. This is just a fact of life for me. I can't help it. Whenever I do something wrong, I'm the one who obsesses. Others might even say it doesn't matter, but my inner monologue will still go the way I expect. Me berating myself. Inner me is rarely constructive with critisicm. It's usually a barrage of insults. Sure, sometimes inner me is very constructive, but normally, I already know what I must do in order to improve. Inner me doesn't need to tell me, so he doesn't. He just insults. Funny how that works huh? Self-deprication is one of the best ways for me to deal with my failures. Agreeing with inner me brings me inner peace. Sure, we argue on occasion. But mostly I just agree. Voicing this to others as well. I think self-depricating humor is the way to go. I love it. So just like with my arrogance, there are layers. It's a joke too.
