Freely we receive, freely we give. Birds of a feather. The pen is mightier than the sword or the key board mightier than the sledge hammer. All is vanity. Our appearance , our education, our cleverness, our accomplishments, our wisdom, our charity, our contributions, everything we think is good in us. All vanity.

It all goes back in the box.

What are these people on about?
You missed the point entirely.
Do you also taunt children learning to walk or students studying a new subject that you think you've already mastered?
You quote a certain personality, yet seem to have missed the heart of that personality.
Say what you really wanted to say. It's better to get your true self out there so you can confront it rather than controlling you from the shadows.
When you say everyone are you referring to members on ATS?
Some more for you to chew on:
It's not the destination that matters... but how you treated people on the way.
And since you felt a certain personality was worth quoting to back up your case:
Judge not lest ye be judged.
You are feeding self satisfaction off of people who are learning. I'm sorry if someone else fed off of you earlier in your life as you were learning... but that too is part of the learning of life. You are feeding off of them... not they off of you. Whatever lessons they have to learn are theirs and they likely have already learned lessons you have yet to learn.
Best to you on your journey.

lmbo! Seriously? You think I was quoting from the BIBLE? Oh my stars! THAT is just too funny! No decent persons tried feeding off me as I have never fed off of anyone. You are correct in assuming that I did indeed learn A lesson. Not to blindly follow blind faith in anyone/thing BIBLICAL, Satanic, or the oh so not mysterious Doc Brown.
I believe though, that it IS indeed time for you to GROW up!
Let's talk magic.
The core skill of a magician is misdirection. I doubt this is anything surprising to you and I do not wish for you to feel I'm attempting to insult your intelligence by emphasizing this. Just want to make sure it's out there.
As I know you understand... the way the trick is done is by getting the audience to "look over here" waiting for something to happen while "over there" the real work is done. The best tricks (like the best movies) don't end with exactly what the audience expected... but with a realization that the implications of the activity leading up to the reveal was the real magic.
Thinking back on the implications of the hand waving is where the real surprise and "aha!" comes from for those willing to look at the production as a whole. The recognition that the "ta-da!" was being performed in plain sight all along.
Most observers are usually too busy distracting themselves with their individual expectations of what the "ta-da!" moment will be that they didn't realize they were seeing the real "ta-da!" all along. A journey where reflection brings the most complete understanding of the implication of the trick.

Oh man I am going to have to listen to that song now, so funny.
You are trying to feed now. Maybe you have your own ideas about where your muse potential comes from. Why are you so frustrated with Ergo anyway? They are just at a high level of thought which means there is so much more information contained in the words than meets the eye. I wont lie, Ergo is good at what Ergo does.
There is no fear or hatred projected in their words, not that I can detect anyway.
Anyway rather than get defensive you can absorb more if you don't take things so personally.
Who cares about Dr Brown anyway, have you seen Dr Who? Much more fascinating bro.
Yes.
