  • You need to donate all your cash to The Holy See of Pudge and JJohn. Cash and checks accepted, but no C.O.D. pleases. Questions answered; fulfillment guaranteed. Get your own personal savior for birthdays and bar mitzvahs. Order now!
    • And remember, with Pudge and JJohn you get salvation guaranteed or TRIPLE your money back!
      • But Bob Dobbs already has given me that guarantee! What more can pudge and jjohn give me that's more valuable than slack?
        • The great religions all borrow from one another and so also does The Holy See of Pudge and JJohn borrow from Bobism.

          More valuable than slack? Slack is priceless and therefore without value!

          • The path of excess leads to wisdom, as slack leads to salvation. The worthless value of slack is what makes it so value like the worthlessness of water makes it more valuable than gasoline.
  • I think pudge's point is that people who blog for blogging's sake have an elevated and undeserved sense of self-worth.

    I can't really speak for pudge, but I doubt very much that he denies that true greatness can exist in individuals or that life is meaningless.

    I believe that true greatness can only come from great humility.

    Humility is the one thing that the bloggers don't have. It's their damning flaw. Pudge was using strong language to make this point clear.

    • I can't really speak for pudge, but I doubt very much that he denies that true greatness can exist in individuals or that life is meaningless.

      I don't think he thinks that either. What I'm more or less asking is how to try to achieve that.

      I'm already suspecting that the answer here lies in a balance, a precarious one, between humility and hubris.

      This interleaves with my recent notion that perhaps balance is what I lack in most endeavors, and not anything else, necessarily.
