Deliberate 

Speaking of Alex. Maybe I got this wrong. I'm coming at it from the wrong angle I think...
Hym "See, I'm coming at it from the contingent angle when I think I should be coming at it from the random angle... Let's run it through... When it comes to brain activity... Is it determined, yes or no? If no then it's random. If yes, then what is that determining factor determined by? Ok. So that least me to think: I decide to eat something. If I'm hungry before I eat then you can say my decision was contingent on my hunger and I don't control my hunger, therefore, determined. But if I forgo eating when I'm hungry then what? What could that possibly be determined by? What us the decision to forgo eating contingent upon? If nothing, is it random? Am I randomly forgoing food? If the decision to forgo eating is not contingent on anything, is it random or is it deliberate? Can't be both. Can't be neither. I have food. I could eat. Why am I not eating? Is it random? I don't see how it's impossible to make a non-contigent conscious decision... To not eat. And you can say, well, if it's deliberate, to you control the neurons that are telling your mind-brain to not eat? And to that I say, I don't need to manually combust the gas in my engine to control where the car goes. Internally, I'm doing (deliberately) what equates to pressing the gas and tilting the wheel. I think there's some conflation going on here."

Deliberate asymmetry 

That's cute I like the wavey shit going on there. Makes you look like a Pokemon gym leader or something.
Hym "I like the deliberate asymmetry. It looks nice. Say, did he shout 'I am Hym' when he came or no? Because, if not, their not doing it right. The daughter bang by proxy doesn't have the same impact if they don't do it right. It doesn't demonstrate what the other ones have to look forward to. I did write that one down? I'm pretty sure i wrote that one down...."

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
