It is a stretch to say that looking at a screen is observing.

In LsD's case that is most certainly true.

Looking through an eyepiece requires active participation and can be called observing.

Looking at an image on a screen... not so much. The machinery is doing the work.


It would be a stretch for you to say that working is a an active
participation. Let the machinery do the work. Welfare will do the rest.

LsD, I am guessing that you are on some form of welfare or whatever it is they call it in your country. You are likely a parasite on your society. Clearly you contribute no more to it than you do to this forum.


You have yet to view with a screen but you have a lot to say about it.
You have yet to work and you seem to have a lot to say about that as well

You have poor observing skills, LsD, yet criticize those who develop, cultivate and use theirs. Yours is truly a case of sour grapes. Your grainy video images impress no one.

It is obvious the closest you have been to looking through an eyepiece
is the view through the bottom of a shot glass right after picking up
your check at the welfare office.

I don't drink and I would have no idea where the "welfare office" even is, LsD.


Yes the machinery does the work. Under the guidance of those actively
participating in society. Not the likes you.

You are not "actively participating in society," LsD. Quite the opposite in fact. You have exactly ZERO social skills. You are dysfunctional and need professional help, LsD.

Oh, the wonderful irony that these words should so aptly suit himself.

Hoist by thy own petard, hypocrite?

I am no hypocrite. You, however, are not much different from LsD in that regard.
