Psycho-Mathematical Question
If I’m a negative personality will my doppelganger be Mr. Woo-Hoo?
Update: If my doppelganger had schadenfreude would he still be pleased at your misfortune?

@Winston: put that in an Excel spreadsheet and see what you get!
Damn, I’ve been thinking I was still a cell-int, and now you tell me I’m an EX-. Guess I’ll have to find another activity to occupy that bottom-side of my brain… Perhaps knitting and purling…

@Winston: EX=cell-int.
@Gretchen: Yeah, what Winston said!!! In spades. Nyah. ergo, Pfbbt.
Don’t ignore the condition of a negative personality. From a purely socio-geometrical standpoint, the doppelganger of a negative personality would have schadenfreude only if it’s inverse avatar was opposed to the zeitgeist in which the positive personality was immersed prior to transfiguration to the negative. Ergo, the obvious and unequivocal answer is a resounding “perhaps”…

@Gretchen: I did?
Yeah but that’s exactly the issue you raised: “If my doppelganger had schadenfreude would he still be pleased at your misfortune?”

@Gretchen: well, talk about stating the obvious!
Jesu Christu, I don’t have the mental energy for this. I’m summarizing a deposition containing wildly conflicting testimony, all in the space of a couple of hours, by the same person. My head is spinning already.
However: if your doppelganger had schadenfreude he would definitely be pleased at MY misfortune, although I’m not sure if he’d be pleased about YOURS.
