 * 12:37 AM - It's not pain                                           *
 *                                                                    *
 *         The thing about going and interpreting the actions of a    *
 * person as evidence of mental pathology is that everything you      *
 * think you know about brains is entangled with what you think you   *
 * can observe. For instance, for a while I thought my friend Brian   *
 * was stuck at the developmental level of Jr. High School, but that  *
 * turned out to be because I thought he should be less worried about *
 * what his friends thought of him (and subsequently less concerned   *
 * over whether he was thought of as exceptional at something) and    *
 * more aware of why he felt compelled to do the things he thought he *
 * should be doing (and as a result, depressed because he didn't      *
 * really want to do them and mostly wound up not. doing them.)       *
 * That stuff is all really about me and what I think people should   *
 * like. I do the same things, trying to be exceptional and doing     *
 * stuff which I don't want to do because I think I should want to do *
 * it. When I notice someone else upset about something, I always     *
 * model their distress after the thing which would distress me.      *
 *                                                                    *
 * I guess this whole thing with the web and the writing is part of   *
 * an attempt to paint a detailed picture of projection and how it    *
 * makes me look at other people. Or no, projection is the only thing *
 * that lets me relate to other people at all. Or maybe I'm wrong     *
 * about why I do stuff, but it's not useful to consider that         *
 * possibility because then all I can do is ask other people why they *
 * think I did something. Yuck. That sounds like too much fun to me.  *
 *                                                                    *
