@CocoTheBean: i think your Right. Maybe thats why they call “Dollfie,s” their “Daughters” if i had a Hatsune Miku Dollfie i will call her my “Friend”. i think they are here to stop you from getting lonely. And so they should be called “Friends” but “Daughters” is fine. either one. it doesn,t matter. but they are Cute and such. in real i don,t have one but i wish i could. i know i am writing a Very long Comment but i am explaining it. so i may or may not come back here. – your Commenter Zack Schmidt

@A20-san: Well, I never said that such “expansion” was ever easy or without consequences, eh? Haha, if u ever saw “Noein”, a particle collider might eventually blow a hole through the center of our world, if not our parallel reality! Not much time for the luxury of sanity…

Yup, but such ‘expansion’ ultimately ends up imploding upon itself… you just return to your ‘pre-expansion’ borders, say, after disconnecting from the net or finishing that conversation. Something radical might work, I suppose, but by ‘violently breaking’ such things one often ends up broken as well, haha. Speaking of Einstein’s theories, I’m still hoping that the ‘Large Hadron Collider’ will throw something new into the mix^-^

@A20-man: Ah, that makes sense. Like learning to add before multiplying, or learning a few words of a new language before speaking it fluently. If one must be confined within one’s consciousness, then the solution is to expand one’s consciousness, right? Via internet, travel, conversation, art, etc. Unfortunately, it might be quicker to do so by violently breaking the rules and laws of society, religion and common sense. I mean, the Relativity and Quantum theories are quite a break from Newton’s common sense, aren’t they?

Haha, yup, you've drifted slightly North-East, but we're still on course, no worries. In fact that last bit seems rather like a theory I remember from Kara no Kyoukai- where humans need to be confined within their consciousness to remain human, or something like that. aprilius20´s last blog post > A bit of May and June, Screaming Utter Randomness

@A20-man: LOL, good point. But if there’s no “inside”, there’s no “outside” either. Just think of it as “spilling liquid” onto an infinite floor. There’s no point in drinking something off the floor, is there? LOL… Ahh, the only way that would work is if *everyone* becomes *famous*. Andy Warhol’s 15-minute comment, right? Then *nobody* would be *famous*… True, sanity is indeed a matter of social perception. As u narrow your pool of individual perceptions, your relative “sanity” would shift accordingly. Of course, that applies to your relative “brains” or “beauty” within a class, a school, a city, or the entire world. In terms of convenience, one’s “bubble of sanity” would probably be a one-hour radius (driving, biking, or walking). In that case, a farmer’s “sanity” in the middle of nowhere would be totally different from a city dweller’s “sanity”… Yeah, I think I’m drifting wayyy off course…

Haha, I wonder how you'd pour something inside it when there is no inside^^; But to become so famous that you become anonymous? That reminds me of the issue of branding, when brands become 'more than just a brand', like google, which is now a, what, verb? The opposite isn't much of an issue for me, though. The two pandora's boxes of the internet, 2chan or 4chan, demonstrate this concept pretty well. As for insanity/sanity, that sounds a lot like a matter of perception... back into the 'what is reality' argument, haha. For the sake of simplicity, let's divide reality into two- private and public. I suppose that for the former (sane to insane), you gradually ignore public reality', which would be something like the example in Chaos;Head: If everyone says your ice-cream is blue, it's blue, regardless of whether it's actually turquoise. So for 'sane to insane' you gradually go mad in your self-righteousness, believing in your sanity so much that you think everyone else is bonkers, and vice versa. I'm probably sounding rather incoherent at the moment, but I think I'll attribute that to lack of sleep and not having had breakfast yet. Better stop before it gets any worse, but you get my drift, I hope? aprilius20´s last blog post > A bit of May and June, Screaming Utter Randomness
