How crazy are you?

[Kiba]

Ok, I don't know where this question belong to which area.

But...how crazy are you?

Like how different are you? What crazy things you done that others would not done?
What everyone told you can't do it but you do it anyway?

As for me, I guess I am kinda normal in this crowd of people. We have crazy people in this crowd anyway.

But when compared to everyday people, I am crazy. I am weird.

But with you guys, I am still a little crazy.

For example, most people would balk at the idea of licensing all their blog contents under a license like this Creative Commons Deed

It is the same thing with my video games. While I don't sell my games, other can. People don't have to pay me anything when they sell any games of mine.

By that same token, I also think Steve Pavlina is crazy to use softwares that doesn't give him freedom to control the softwares he brought. I, too use some proprietary softwares but I am uncomfortable with it. I cannot modify the code to suit my needs without breaking the law.

I still produce some sort of values with my blog and still hold copyright power over my work, but I take a totally different world view. It matter not to me if people lose their jobs because the "intellectual property" laws is breaking down. I will not fight or lose sleep over people "stealing" my work.

When the world of copyright law finally break down, I have already adapted to some of the conditions of a world without copyright law. Freer information sharing, harsher competitive worlds, and less power to people who produce informations. That will be the future.

I'll be there meeting you the person who fought desperately against changes.

What make you different from others in this forum? What things you done that make others grasp their breath? What things are you totally fine with but others are scared to do?

Your views are definitely very strange to me.

But since you're giving us a chance to inflate our egos I won't try to knock down your beliefs :P

I think I'm a little special because I graduated high school a year early when all my peers told me that I wasn't smart enough (p.s. smarts has nothing to do with it - it's all about self-discipline).

Everyone around me said I was crazy to try and take on that much work. I took a look at teve's accomplishement of college in only 1.5 years and I knew I could easily finish high school in 3.

I guess I'm a bit crazy, in a good sense offcourse.

Lets see some of the stranger things compared to my peers (not this crowd lol);
1) Into personal development, its rather uncommon at age 20.
2) Started doing interesting social experiments a bit back, for instance standing in a club, in the middle of a pathway like a stone statue. Interesting that the girls are all over me while I was pretending to be a statue lol. Imagine this, partying for like 3 hours in a row, dancing like a crazy monkey. Than I get the idea, perhaps it'll be fun to pretend to be a statue and just look at the crazyness around me. So I freeze up in the middle of the pathway to see the reactions of the people around me. Interesting thing is that most people passing you by don't even notice you, its like you disappear and that it attracts girls like crazy lol.
3) I have goals and dreams that are way way larger than any off my peers I know. Asked them a few times but they didn't really have a answer...
4) I've got my own business.
5) I believe in all sorta stuff most peers aren't even considering (SR/LOA).

Other than that, on the survace I'm pretty normal. I'd like to think my mind is a special little tool that is getting more efficient on a daily basis.

First off, I'm not sure what's crazy about using creative commons, it's simply progressive. It might seem crazy to microsoft though

My "craziness" can be seen in my habit of taboo busting: anything that seemed undoable for one reason or another to others, but that I had reason for believing it could be done safely/enjoyably, I did. This involved eating raw meat, over a dozen raw eggs per day for months at a time (gave me unusually high good cholesterol levels), sun gazing, meditating for several hours per day, fasting, routinely eating spicy food few people seem apt to tolerate (let alone enjoy), dating people up to three times my age, going a couple days without food or water just for the experience, walking barefoot for over a dozen miles a day for months, even on an abandoned bridge where one couldn't avoid walking on broken beer bottles (no cuts), riding/steering my bicycle with no hands, skydiving, hang gliding, Parkour, and so on. It's been a fun life so far

Most people would not allow commercial usage of their work. Most people want commercial distributors to pay royalty or worse, not distribute it at all.

Now about your craziness, now that's crazy. I wouldn't do things like that.

Oh yeah I also did the firewalk thingy but that ain't so special anymore these days.
