Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

With regards to the latter, it is noted that female shit testing may be getting in the way of success for some of you.  I'll have to think about how to deal with that.

If shit testing is an issue, wouldn't running AM6 program be a better solution by the people having this specific issue rather than transforming DMSI into a 8 slots smart toaster with an AM/FM radio and an integrated LCD touchscreen to browse remote weather forecasts?

I'm not saying DMSI will ever deal with shit testing.  I'm not sure it should.  It's about creating sexual attraction, not teaching you how to deal with skepticism from those who see incongruencies when you run it, and want to figure out what's really going on.

But at the same time, DMSI isn't much good for those who lack the experience to express what DMSI is trying to express in a way that is congruent, if those incongruencies result in the first place.  It seems to me that instead of trying to make DMSI deal with shit testing, we need to make it produce a result that is more congruent, so the shit testing doesn't happen.  Which may or may not be possible.  It is those who lack experience who need this.  Can I do anything about it through a set of instructions?  

I don't think I can just write up a list of things to do or not do that will solve this problem.  What these guys need is experience, and in the cases where they don't have it, it's going to be because of a cycle of Be inexperienced > make mistakes > feel hurt > prevent getting more experience.  So I'll have to break that cycle, enable getting more experience and thus allow them to grow into being congruent with what DMSI is attempting to accomplish. Or at least more confident expressing DMSI's expressions.
