Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: Donuel Date: 28 Jul 11 - 07:25 PM 256 words index 0.14 There really are true heros here and typical of heros they do not toot their own horn. Thier efforts are too seldom celebrated. The Herculean hard work and fortitude of a real hero is not the stuff of self promotion. It has only been this week that I have learned of the broadcast skills and dedication to a worldwide community by Max. This should be somthing America would enjoy knowing. It would certainly be fascinating to learn more about Mudcat on npr as an interview or in depth story. The resources here compare to the Smithsonian in many ways. Much of it would be about Max, the supporting staff and usual gang of idiots. To me it is a story about People first and then thier music, and so much music. Without causing notorius site crashing pandamonium, a reminder to Pacifica and npr that Mudcat.org is alive and well, will be forthcoming. Think of it, mudcat.org is sort of an Apple Cloud of Folk Music,carousing and merry making 18 years before Apple ever imagined its cloud. Its an amazing mixed bag of composers, performers, criminal justice professionals, archeologists, DNA techs, cynical loners, writers, artists, spouters and twits. It even has Joe. Its true we don't and shouldn't 'worship' heros, we love them for thier humility of just doing thier jobs and building a living dream in which others come to live and share. Sometimes its music, joy, sorrow, victories, defeats, good spirits, good food, and laughter. There is nothin virtual about mudcat.org |
Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: frogprince Date: 28 Jul 11 - 07:10 PM I would have expected this to jam the needle on the meter, but it scored .1: Adam And Eve, The Real Story As I was thinking about Young Earth Creationism, I got to thinking about Adam and Eve, and Original Sin. In doing so, I suddenly realized, for the first time, the actual implications of the Biblical narrative. Soon after creating the ancestral pair, God remembered some of the implications of what He had done, which He actually would have known throughout eternity past. He realized that, if He didn't take action soon, they would become hopelessly accustomed to the comfort and freedom of going about without a stitch of clothing on. Obviously, this simply wouldn't do. God realized that, before long, they would observe numerous instances of furry creatures doing all the things that furry creatures do. It would be inevitable that, before long, they would get curious as to how it would feel to try some of those things themselves. The inevitable result would be children. At that point, the situation would immediately become untenable. Children who are exposed to the sight of genitals suffer hopeless psychological damage, often to such an extent that they must be destroyed for the safety of others. If our Puritan forebears recognized this as clearly as they obviously did, how much more deeply must it have troubled the mind of God himself. In fact, the very survival of mankind was at stake; any decent man, to say nothing of one with a mind totally uncorrupted by sin, would kill himself rather than allow a child to see his genitals. God saw that it would be hard for Adam, with the innocent state of his mind, to understand why he shouldn't be allowed to relax in the nude, skinny dip, and enjoy the sight of Eve walking out of the river wet and glistening, or bending over to pick berries. So, to solve the quandry, God contrived and staged the episode with the snake and the apple. While it is true that, as a consequence, the majority of mankind will spend eternity in hell, that is certainly preferable to the situation we would be in if He had not done so. |
Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: JohnInKansas Date: 28 Jul 11 - 07:08 PM It seems mine was only one sentence. ... In one of my freshman weekly essays on some great piece of literature, I composed a "long sentance," and knew that the instructor had a particular penchant for slamming long sentences. I was unable to break down the long sentence and retain the meaning I wanted to convey, so I delerately wrote a "clumsy long sentence" of about 20 words into the top of the first page. The instructor (or his "grader") pounced on the first clumsy long sentence with great vigor, but failed to notice that the other half of the first page and the following two pages all consisted of a single sentence. In the "really long sentence" he actually marked two places with "needs expansion" or something similar, so apparently he did read it. And at the bottom he commented "nice penmanship." Recollection is that out of curiosity I counted the words and came up with about 890 words in one sentence. Haven't really needed to write anything similar since that book taught me that most "philosophy" is all bullshit. (It was either Hume or Kant, but I don't really recall which.) John |
Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: GUEST,number 6 Date: 28 Jul 11 - 07:07 PM Well, maybe there is less bull shit going on than we expect .... but then again maybe the bla bla meter is in itelf BS. Some guy on the CBC was promoting this gimick on the radio today .... as of late I suspect the CBC (specifically radio 2) and their ever changing dreadful format is BS in itself. Oh well .... it's something to fill in a small boring gap that one occasionally encounters in their day. biLL ..... :) |

Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: Bill D Date: 28 Jul 11 - 06:29 PM LOL... I entered an old post of mine. It was 2686 characters and 416 words. I got "Sorry, this text is not suitable for an analysis - probably to(sic) short! (Minimum: 20 words within at least 3 sentences)." It seems mine was only one sentence. |

Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: morning wood Date: 28 Jul 11 - 05:54 PM This is the result I got from a section of my PhD thesis! Your text: 1412 charactes, 205 words Bullshit Index :0.56 Something's fishy. Obviously you want to sell something, or you're trying to impress somebody. Are you sure that you have a real message, and if so: who would understand it? |
Subject: RE: BS: how much bullshit hides in your text? From: JohnInKansas Date: 28 Jul 11 - 05:34 PM My last post (a good sample - 560 words) was scored 0.15, which indicates that the "meter" didn't understand some of my most pithy comments. I don't really consider "specific and directed gentle sarcasm" to be BS, as it's a valid compact way of conveying "attitude" in text to a selected audience, but the meter gives no indication of what it found and (correctly or incorrectly) considered unessential. Maybe if I'd add a bit more BS it would be more suited to the audience and more people would respond? [This post scored 0.05, before adding this line. Both were commented "little or no BS content."] John |
