[Opinion] Coolest, Bestest, Most Thought-Provoking Signature Line in the Forum

[Xenophon]

My vote goes to Robert Ramsay's current, "The minute people discover that the universe is malleable by thought, they instantly start assuming the world is some sort of simulation or illusion."

It combines flash of recognition ("Hey! I know guys who do that!"), plus food for rumination.

I'm very keen on Holdall's "No one can fool you like yourself." which IIRC is a paraphrasing of Wittgenstein: "The hardest task we face is not fooling ourselves."

Dang, and here's me thinking I came up with that line myself... which proves my point.

You can tell people that you're up there with Wittgenstein

It's like the Newton-Leibniz calculus contretemps. Whoever shouts "Plagiarist!" first and longest wins.

In any case, this goes back to my corollary to the Ramsay Theorem. Reality is so malleable, that you retroactively influenced Wittgenstein.

@Yazata gets my vote: "The Heart girt with a Serpent is my Name", the coolest line in one of the coolest occult rites!

This thread and the "Jesus is a Serpent" thread are the only reason I even made a signature after three years

Drat!!!
