The Locker Room Boys Club

If ya don't know, ya better axe somebody.

The Locker Room will be attended in a haphazard and arbitrary fascion (sic) once or twice a week when the flaming asshole checks in to flush messages and dump a few of his own in return ;-}

All visitors please remember to sterilize your eyes and brain with alcohol before leaving.

Pride is a symptom of a dualistic perception/conception of existence and the self-centered consciousness that focuses on concentric degrees of loyalties and competitors/opponents/threats based on the fundamentally adversarial separation of self vs other. This is very common to the pathology of an upbringing in a dualistic theology such as those originating in the Middle East, i.e. Christianity, Islam and Judaism, which have common origins in earlier anthropomorphic monotheistic systems.

fundamentally interconnected,

deal more interconnected
than others.

that the external world
exists altogether independently of us.

the focus of conscious attention.

with the physical universe
as a wave is continuous with the ocean.

So to describe myself in a scientific way,
I must also describe my surroundings,
which is a clumsy way of getting around to
the realization that you are the entire universe.
