no
it was an empty room
and now you're in the room
and are the only thing in the once empty room

[so_many_pockets]

So I am naked in this room. That's weird.
Okay. Why am I in this room naked?

[counterstep]

why the hell do you think you're naked??
you're wearing clothes
obviously

[so_many_pockets]

Clothes are things! You said there are no other things in the room.

[counterstep]

fine

you're naked in the middle of an empty room because you refuse to imagine clothes on you

[so_many_pockets]

Are we not imagining this together? I thought this was a bonding exercise.

Fine. Okay. Now a tornado comes and takes me to Oz?

[counterstep]

no
it's a thought experiment

if you want to do something else then just go do something else

[so_many_pockets]

No, no. Let's finish the naked thought experiment, I want to see where this goes.

[counterstep]

it's not a naked thought experiment
it's JUST a thought experiment

[so_many_pockets]

Okay. Let's finish the just a thought experiment.

[counterstep]

Jesus



you're alone in the center of this room
can you see the walls?

[so_many_pockets]

Yes? Yes, I think so.

[counterstep]

how far are they?
is the room wider than it is long? or are they the same?

[so_many_pockets]

Umm... It's a rectangle? I guess I would say wider than it is long, but if you turn it would be the opposite.

[counterstep]

but the side you're facing is shorter, right?
the side you'd feel most natural to face

[so_many_pockets]

... Yes.

[counterstep]

what about the ceiling?
can you see it?
is it really high? or really low?

[so_many_pockets]

Yes? I guess about normal height? Neither really high or really low.

[counterstep]

normal is different by region or building style though

would you be able to reach it if you jumped?

[so_many_pockets]

No, I don't think so.

[counterstep]

what about the wall in front?
can you reach that easily? within a step?

[so_many_pockets]

No, it would take about three steps.

[counterstep]

okay

the walls to your sides are supposed to be how equipped you feel to handle things
the wall in front is how attainable your goals feel
and the ceiling is how much pressure you feel to achieve your goals

so according to that, you feel very well equipped, your goals are reasonably within reach but not easy to accomplish, and you want to go about it at your own pace
that sound about right?

[so_many_pockets]

I don't know if I would say VERY well equipped but I guess, yes, that's mostly accurate.
That's weird, though.

[counterstep]

maybe not very well equipped but probably reasonably capable?

what's weird?
