#532029 — Oddball No Wanna Play

Oddball no wanna play.

What's matter, Oddball?  Are you sulking in your plastic and wood pulp paradise
of conventionality?  There's never a 7-11 more than two blocks away anywhere,
you know, and for Oddball, that certainly is paradise.

Oddball likes to play Doctor, MD.  He likes to take out his little toy
doctor bag containing a plastic stethoscope, tongue depressor, and thermometer
(no, not the anal variety).

He likes to dispense medical advice to all comers, whether they want it or not.

That's dedication.  That's devotion.  And it is an admirable quality in any
doctor, even a play one.

But what is his specialty?  All doctors must specialize nowadays.

Oddball likes to play the psychiatrist headshrinker.  Yes.  It is a wise
choice, I suppose, for it is far more appropriate for on-line practicing
than any other medical specialty.

So let's play, Oddball.  I'll give you the symptom, and you provide the
diagnosis.

Symptom: Person A does not like to work in a team.  In fact, whenever person
A is part of a team, the other team members begin to suffer strange and
terrible accidents and some even end up dead. 

What is the diagnosis, Oddball?

The average layman would just shrug and say that Person A has an
inborn antipathy toward the operational concept of a "team."

But not Oddball!  With his plastic stethoscope in hand he will be incited
to visions of fantastic pathologies and morbid indispositions!

That's Oddball.  His doctor play is always grandiose in nature, form, and content.

That's Oddball, the grandiose dispenser of medical advice to all comers.

But there are also REAL doctors.

Don't forget, Oddball, that your sacrosanct and licensed professionals
have been responsible for many horrible mutilations of their unsuspecting and
trusting "patients."  Many stomachs have been needlessly surgically removed,
as a supposed cure for peptic ulcer, when a course of antibiotics would
have been more far more effective and permanent.

There are many other similar examples.

But these licensed professionals, so cherished and respected by Oddball, were
only following universally accepted practice.

Oddball asserts that professional licensure protects society from incompetence,
but who or what will protect society from professional licensure?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Oddball!

Fabian, I'm sure you can read the above in a quieter moment and 
recognize that you were having an episode.

Here's the thing. It doesn't matter how much your mind TELLS you that 
you are brilliant and capable and way beyond ordinary mortals. If you're 
not able to operate usefully in the world, then something is wrong. And 
until you recognize that something is wrong, then you're going to get 
fooled by the lies from your own mind every single day.

Hey Oddball.  Wise Odball.  Worldly Oddball.  [snigger, snigger]

Transplant yourself, please, to a Pakistani village, or a Venezuelan urban
neighborhood, and see how much utility you can effect.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Humans are, by nature, gregarious creatures, and there is something about
an inferior social environment that wreaks havoc to the soul.

I do not expect you to fathom this simple truism, for you are only
another egregious portion of the problem.

But anyway, I have other fish to fry.

Go back to school, Oddball, and learn all the fundamental things
that have regrettably been denied you.

But don't try to enroll in *my* class.  I do not admit the Untermensch.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Come on, Fabio.
Everybody knows that the word of your king is LAW!
No "citizen" should have the right to do ANYTHING without first getting 
the permission of their liege. Boinker knows this more than anyone.
