Talking Collective Consciousness at 3FC?

OK, so every time I think I've had an earth shattering epiphany and log on to 3FC to share - I discover that at least 12 other people have had exactly the same epiphany and already posted about it In fact, I betcha if I were to have done a search of posts, someone else has probably already posed this question too....... (This is quite humbling as my little egocentric self wants to think I am just chock full of original thoughts and ideas )

So, do you think we've somehow formed a psychic bond through all of our fingers being on the keyboard at the same time? Or, do you prefer to follow the more conventional way of thinking that we've just gotten so used to feeling so alone in our struggles with our weight that we're just stunned (and possibly incredulous) to discover that there are literally hundreds - maybe even thousands - of people out there dealing with the exact same issues?

Just for fun and a few giggles OK? Let's not get into too deep a philosophical debate

Hah! Maybe I'd learn to read my own mind and figure out why I keep eating the stuff I do! I can't find the little emoticons, but if I could it would be the confused-looking one!

What are the red dots, yellow dots, and red exclamation marks in our little grey boxes on the page?

Well, I wouldn't mind but sometimes people's feel bads accidentally get hurt which makes our moderators have to work really hard to calm everybody down again - They have a tough enough job keeping track of potentially hurtful posts from people who don't even intend to be argumentative without someone doing it on purpose For this forum I thought it would be fun to see how many of us run into the "I was just thinking that" syndrome.

But, if you post on another site that encourages spirited debate........ PM me and I'll meet you there

I'm pretty sure it's that we're all focused on the same thing and that we may come to similar conclusions.

Although I do enjoy the idea that we're all connected

I'm not so sure I enjoy that it might be in a Borg-like sense O_o

Bliss - That place doesn't exist yet?! But this is the intarwebs!

@ Heffalump! If I was to be assimilated into looking like a Seven-of-Nine body I might not complain!
