YOU gave you the negative points Robert. Fortunately your
whuffie soars with the eagles. If my theory is correct,
a negative karma point comes from opening a thread that
no one responds to. All the regular idea-hampsters will
have a huge negative second karma number. In that sense
a large negative second karma number is a good thing,
since a bunch of bad ideas implies a bunch of good
ones, by pure chance. Shows you are thinking.
I have always used extropians as a sounding board, an
idea repository, a little like the way an engineer
uses a notebook, writing down ideas for safekeeping
even if half baked, allowing the world to run with
the ball if there is any ball to run with. Any time
one uses the list this way, one should get a huge
negative karma, as many of the ideas will simply
baffle everyone.
Part of my karma theory has already been disproven. I
have found examples where a poster has jillions of "views"
in the archives and still has a low or zero first
number in the karma.
Please someone, what the heck is karma? I mean the
traditional meaning, is it something like good luck?
Or more like charisma? Or what?
