Follow-up to the interest list meme

[featherynscale]

I got some good suggestions for interest-list entries, but I'm already at 150.
In your opinion, what should go to make room for the new stuff? Anything on there that you think doesn't belong, or is over-represented?

(I'm interested in a lot of stuff. Where I come from, that's called being a dabbler and having a short attention span.)

I'll take a crack at it

Yes, you're interested in a lot of stuff. But I don't think your problem is too many interests; you've done a very good job of using categories instead of authors/movies/artists, which seems to fill up some people's lists.

One thing I notice in looking at your list is the varietal repetition. You've got several different ways of saying the same sort of thing on there:

• 23, change, chaos, eris, neophilia, responsible eclecticism, stochastic processes, tricksters, etc.
• applied surrealism, culture jamming, dada, disinformation, mayhem, meme warfare, memetics, not just talking, performance art, psychogeography, propaganda, reality engineering, self-mockery, situationism, street theater, surrealist activism, temporary autonomous zones, etc.
• acquiring new skills, competent sexy bitches, generalized competence, learning, more data, research, etc.
• argument for argument's sake, cognitive dissonance, hypothetical questions, making people think, meaningless debates, paradigm shifts, personal sovereignty, thinking, third ways, etc.

That sort of thing.

I'm not certain any of those types of 'categories' are overrepresented, per se, and certainly if you're using the Interests list to find new people, or let them find you, then it's useful to have iterations on a theme.

I'm just saying.

If I had to guess at something to just drop, it might be naked chicks vs. bugs...other than that, you're kinda stuck.

A few such as - the way out=through - seem more like quotes/inspirational tag lines than interests. Not that warrant their removal so for random purposes I suggest:
Interests:
#2
#34
#43
#52
#55
#99
#113
#115
#144
#148

Use all you need I'll generate more random numbers if you desire.
