<< Back to Part One
We are not perfect. We understand and embrace asymmetry. We acknowledge our asperity and use what might be incorrectly viewed as irregularities to our advantage.
The Imperfects cultivate a sensitivity to ephemera. Though our identities survive, our bodies are subject to accelerated decay and our lifestyles regularly bring about our deaths. There is no noble love but that which recognizes itself to be both short-lived and exceptional. Owning our imperfection is celebrating cracks and crevices and marks of time, the storms we've weathered. It's an appreciation of transience.
The Imperfect greets his fellow with a friendly "memento mori" or "remember that you will die". She is an absurdist, a disciple of Sisyphus, struggling for the sake of the struggle and enjoying a freedom without regard to common rules. He maintains a lawless integrity. To him, everything is permitted, but this does not delight him, he simply accepts it as reality. Each life and death he casually accepts is a satirical commentary of the existence of the mortal. The human condition is absurd and our immortality doubly so.
The Imperfect is a God, never tiring but always tired. Lakes emerge from his footsteps and civilisations rise and fall around those lakes, but he moves on without looking back. His freedom is established in his natural ability and opportunity to create his own meaning and to decide for himself. The individual Imperfect is the most precious unit of existence, representing a set of unique ideals which can be characterised as an entire universe in themselves.

It's not an error, it's an easier way to express gender neutrality than to use a single pronoun as neutral. Each of the pronouns refers to a different person, or someone who is gender fluid. |

A witty and incisive critique based on a deep understanding of the motives and inspirations of the corporation I'm representing. I'm impressed. You must have read my earlier "behind the scenes" style posts. Nobody gets let into PR. It's where they put you if you've got no gun game. |

And it's an exploration of why people like you might have the reaction you are having to the post. |

IMPS PR is not about making them look good or anything like that, it's about subtly annoying the community. The key to this is to keep the image of being a real PR group, at least to the casual less informed forum goers who like to bite on bait. Quite a few of you in this thread.
I don't know it's getting very meta troll now and I'm not really keeping up with the purpose (if one was ever intended). Either way this thread is getting a little to deep for me personally. If you feel the same way I encourage you to not read part three, it's even more complicated so I doubt you would understand it. |

While you use the prose of a mythic figure, you seem to have beautifully capture the essence of the Imperfect. It's funny, this isn't even a troll at all beyond mentioning the Imperfects in the first place. |

This is the purpose of the thread and the beauty of the Imperfect. We have a unique wu wei in trolling by not trolling. When I troll, it is unobserved and has a silent and subtle effect. When I do not troll, the community revolts and finds bait where there is none, subconsciously rebelling against the lack of the troll by creating their own source of offence. |
