Discussion: Doppelgänger and Sunstone: No Holds Barred

So far, I find Sunstone's responses to Doppelgänger's insightful questions to reveal a deep bitterness and resentment. Why is he evading that all-important question #10? What is he hiding?

I really like the discussion on underwear as an evolving metaphor (for something else).

Very insightful.

Doppleganger's shallow insistance on my answering question #10 before its time reveals a deeply disturbing impatience on his part -- an impatience that precisely reflects the malaise of "fast food" culture in which a wait of only a few moments is accounted intolerable. As such, his impatience threatens the very survival of civilization. All things in their time!

I wish that we could have a whole thread discussing the underwear metaphor.

Let's.

Why do people wear underwear? Is it a buffer between our true selves and the masks we wear in social reality? Is the function of underwear to make sure than our true self doesn't seep through the masks that protect us?

When you say that, do you speak from the standpoint of a man in his boxers, or of a man in his wife's thong?

Do people tend to think of their underwear as their "private self" -- a self they show only to certain people they are close to?
