[009] Entry 004: Results.
Good afternoon.
I will not explain the significance of the colours I have picked for this graph because I don't feel like it. I will explain some of what I have learned in no specific order. Not all of it will pertain to the graph.
Many will not answer questions, no matter how important they are, if they are not "different" questions, if they are not specifically requested to do so with the promise of a reward (no matter how trifle), or if they do not expect to receive an interesting answer as a result. They will ignore them.
Many will not answer direct questions because they have no desire to talk about themselves and would rather focus on an innocent subject, like a game.
Many do not realise innocent subjects tell more about them than any direct answers from their mouths.
Many who realise this and patronise my games do so because they are amused.
Those who answer direct questions are often those who enjoy hearing themselves talk or who are forthright. Many who are forthright are also liars. Many who are liars do not intend to be liars to others, but to themselves. They do not realise that if they are lying to themselves, then they are lying to everyone as well. In some cases, they do not realise they are lying to themselves. Those who lie to themselves are easily taken in by those who lie deliberately. Those who lie deliberately are able to take advantage, manipulate, and twist them into feeling a certain way by speaking a handful of well-chosen words.
Despite this, with the exception of sociopaths, those who lie deliberately can be more trustworthy than those who lie to themselves.
One entity answered because it understands my intentions and answered on the behalf of others.
There is one entity whose number I trust whole-heartedly.
Three entities I disregard but have included.
Three entities do not make wise choices. One entity among these three will find itself disappointed.
For now, that is all I feel like disclosing.
Those of you who participated: thank you. I ask that you don't take offense or assume. Many of these facts will not pertain to you: there are always exceptions. What has been most telling has been the type of personalities that didn't answer.
