An extension to my last post

In my last post I used the word "worthless" to represent most of what I write. Actually, I shouldn't have used worthless as there are those times in which whatever is on my brain at the time does have value and I don't realize it until I get it out on the screen or onto paper. Sometimes the value can only be seen by me and other times it can be seen by others. To me a blog shouldn't be seen, or better said, mistaken as a newspaper, reporting things that have already passed. Instead it should be seen as more or less an ongoing dialogue of the present. Obviously once the present has passed it takes on the appearance of a typical online article, reporting something that has already happened as opposed to representing something that at the time it was written was happening. None-the-less, its obviously my responsibility to recognize that what is currently happening isn't necessarily something to be seen or heard by everyone as opposed to your responsibility to recognize what is reality and what is foobar.

The Smartness Density Theory was foobar, not to be seen as production code but rather a representation of something that could represent how you might write something for production code, applying the general principles of the sample code but extending it into something real instead of something foo. The study of group dynamics is something that is very real. Much in the same sense that you don't just copy-and-paste foobar code into your editor, compile it, and call it complete this theory represented some ideas that, while its possible they could be used as a starting point would need an extensive amount of reworking, rethinking, and applying the general ideas into something much more real, something provable, and something beyond just a bunch of senseless mumbo-jumbo. Can foobar code be compiled. Of course! But what good is compiled foobar code? Its just foobar. Thats it. Thats its value. Compiling will help prove the theory that its compilable and therefore could be used as a starting point for something much bigger. But the value starts and stops there which is exactly where the The Smartness Density Theory should stop and start. Do I plan to continue the study of this and come up with something more concrete and reliable. No! It was just blah! Just foo. Just bar. Just junk. Just move on.

I plan to.
