Enough about Britney. She just needs to go away....
Britney who? Is she supposed to be someone of interest?
Ah Mr. B, as always, a very pleasing satire. I am still in interminable amazement at your proficiency in burlesquing those whom so passionately lament the less treacherous Threats to America. I see tonight your chosen population's constituency has dwindled from conservative, reactionary zealots, to that of the greater social order. Everyone. We are, of course, only products of our environment(Molon may disagree, as I have noted she has been rather opposed to most everything you have ever said in the history of the world. I can approximate her resistance is only a tactic she has implemented to prevent herself from feeling any cognitive dissonance upon reading your blog; or, she is the wife of a man--from what I've read, most likely a famous totalitarian of some type--you may have killed in a past life.)but that aside I think you, as I do, stand to side with the existential philosophy. This is the excused evil of our time. Though we, objective, can look at this woman and see nothing but a basketcase with a manicure--I can sympathize however, I only recently escaped the grasp of an institution--many people don't possess the ability to put her on the same plane as us common people. They see a super-human portrayal of what an accepted human order is on T.V. everyday, and at some times, confuse it with their own. Here's where I'm constantly criticized. I believe we create our nature based on our existence, and one of the most influential aspects of our lives is the media. My adult authority figures are always saying, "The more we see this poor woman exploited on the news with her whowho exposed and all, well, the more our kids' generation will inherit from it." I get it, that's all good and indecent, but here's the thing, us kids really enjoy the way people like these are taking these phenomena more than we like the idea of becoming a hopeless drug addict. We're kids. Since the beginning of time we have been running around causing all kinds of mischief, it's our creed. Hell, even Jesus ran away once. We don't know what we're doing, and if we do, we know we're doing something wrong. I'm not embarrassed of my youth. I love it. It's something you don't get twice. I see everyone telling me all of this, I see them telling me how wrong this behavior is, but I also see the people telling me these things, well, they're all old, weathered, life is fleeting in them. I tell them it's my generations decision whether or not this is wrong, immoral. Life is not fleeting in us, we are thriving because we are what the late Andy Warhol meant by "The Great Plastic Inevitable". We are senseless, valueless, and soon we will be in charge of everything. In a couple years, we're going to be the leaders, and I can tell you that I will not impose myself on those who will replace me, because that will be the first sign that I am getting old. I want to stay young. I don't want to claim to know anything, because I recognize that whatever I do will only be neglected by my children as traditionalism, and hold no bearing to them. If I have kids and they do side with reason and accept my ways, well, they won't make a difference anyways. By treating this matter with levity, we are doing the only thing we can to make this situation better; we are removing it from our threat list. After all, it's just a show. No need to turn our lives into one by enforcing that fact. Wow. No structure, what did you teach me in class. Wait, you were my rock n' roll history teacher... I've got to find the teacher who was suppose to teach me to write. Oh, well. Kerouac didn't need paragraphs.
I'll take your reaction and hang it on my wall; an accolade of my "youthful inexperience". Thank you.
I'm just a young girl with no response that will sufficiently refute any accusation such a nonpareil as yourself could apply to me. I'm a self-avowed idiot(read my former post)and assumed that someone would use my comment to represent their elder superiority. My second post was obviously an attempt at revealing juvenile disrespect for that superiority. I can't function outside the realms of the laws that bind me, so I don't know what you want me to concede to.
really deep comments. I believe it translates into "who cares".
He's exactly right.
Ah, so you design bumper stickers, no wonder you are such an effective advocate(propagandist). I wasn't acknowledging a political precedent in this conversation or whatever thing it has become. Seeing as I don't claim to disagree with anything you've said, I'm not sure what I'm defending here. I'm just an inexperienced young female with no revolutionary ideas, just selfish ideologies that only stand to benefit me.
Boo, I know who you are. I was just discussing these ideas with you last week. Sadly, you are out of your element. I can see some of your ideas have been taken directly from my thesis(which entailed hours of personal research)and the ideas cannot simply be inherited by anyone. You have to have a fundamental understanding of a subject to even discourse on that subject, and if you want to go and start an uprising, chose something you have a background in--i.e. your rock music.
Secondly, I don't believe your statements were inherently self-defeating, as your opponent has accused. It is not youth that preserves truth--I was only trying to simplify the matter, not create a useful slogan--it is simply the ability to have an objective mind. The possibility that this virtue will be soiled does increase as we age, because the pressures of the world start to wear away at our beliefs, and, for lack of a better term, we begin to become conditioned. I am dismayed at the platitudes you have thrown into my philosophy, and would be interested with meeting again and perhaps personalizing these ideas so they may serve to help you in the future. Also, is your name a reference to my cat?
I appreciate your input--I am no teacher--and my goal is not to approach things without care or attention to their societal subjectivity. (Though I do not understand how true objectivity could be based on one circumstance. Objectivity is the lack of circumstantial influence. Objectivity only exists if it is separate from all circumstantiated, personalized,or opinionated influences.) That would be foolish. Who could possibly follow a framework based on ideas that aren't humanly recognizable? Thomas Aquinas used the analogy as a representation of ideas beyond our realm of perception--ideas we cannot define can sometimes be understood by their relativity to concrete ideas that we can. I do not want to destroy your way of life, I just want to understand its truth--or lack-thereof.
My intent is closer to your latter proposition. I fully understand that the pursuit of truth is no easy feat, but I'm not about to shrug it off simply as a great unexplained. There are ways to find truth. You may be interested in some authors relating to this doctrine. I would highly recommend Jean-Paul Sartre, Bertrand Russell, David Humes; and if you find yourself so inclined to walk on the wilder side, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche--though I'm sure you were probably turned off at the very utterance of those names, they actually have some very clear-headed ideas for individuals as unstable as they were.
The "purest form" you allude to; I have decided it is the axiom. A self-evident truth that is irrefutable and does not lead to anything that is untrue. I have associated this with natural law. Natural law is of axiomatic essence, it is also the only fount of truth we can conceive. An axiom is not just some unexplainable discrepancy in our logic, it is a universal truth. An axiom can be proved valid by utilizing the axiomatic set, a formula that even works in mathematics, demonstrating its universality.
Conditioning. I believe in existence before essence. We originally were nothing and we developed our nature through various circumstances. In order to cope with said circumstances, we developed our own laws and began to separate ourselves from nature. For example, the idea of regulation. Does the solution solve the problem or simply relocate it? By regulating something, for example, marijuana, we are only creating other problems to regulate. I.e. prisons, impoverished people stricken by the drug problem, etc. We are taking a seed-bearing plant--which God promises Christians dominion over in the first chapter of the bible, so they can't justify enforcing that law, it is sinful--and separating it from its natural place in the world, and turning it into a problem that wouldn't exist otherwise. Please don't accuse me of "condoning marijuana abuse". That would annoy me. Haha.
I am sorry if this response seems "bloviated", but I thought you deserved a sufficient response. Also, to save time, I would appreciate it if you included as much information on your beliefs as you can in your retort. That way we won't have to prompt an explanation. That could take days.
Good lord, how do you all get off track. This blog is about Britney Spears. Take your political horn honking somewhere where someone will find it humorous.
It's a bit humorous here, at least from my viewpoint. I was directed here because I was being misrepresented. The topic had been lost long before I arrived.
Ha, yes, I have just finished responding to the poster of that comment--whom I wasted far too much time on. (I hardly think her views were worthy of a page long response. I got a little carried away.) Some people just rub me wrong I guess. Some people are very unpracticed in the act of, well, thinking.
Boo is probably just infatuated with our dear teacher. We both had him a couple years back. I agree with her that he is as witty as the come, if you've ever had the opportunity to meet him, you have probably noticed that he is a very flamboyant fellow with quite a few intelligent things to say. (Also, a great guy to play golf with.) Boo did not pose a single thought that pertained to her supposed "philosophy" or this article, however. What the hell? Britney Spears? Existentialism? I do not think those two words have ever been used in the same sentence.
(I do hear that Mrs. Spears is a self-proclaimed minimalist. Or is it Mrs. Federline? Did they divorce?)
Needless to say; she will not answer my calls. I don't believe she will be returning to this site. Oh darn. I am mourning her loss. She's surely gone to the dark side.
I'm happy to see you are open-minded. It's good to see that in people who are also oppositional. Boo will not look at a single idea she is not interested in. I tell her that Nicholas Sparks never written anything useful; she is stubborn. I believe that it is important to understand something before you refute it; some don't.
Hence those pesky breathalyzer advocates. I'm steaming still.
I do not consider myself NORML, but I guess I am in essence. I consider myself MORTL. Multinational Organization for the Reform of Totalitarian Laws.
It's all-encompassing.
I understood your allusion, I just don't intend to ever become a guru. My dad would also use that phrase occasionally--huge Kung Fu fan, how dreadful those memories are. The shows Ok in moderation. The box set is a manifestation of Satan...
I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Wow, a lot of big words! Seems to be a lot of thought going on here. Perhaps educated thoughts at that. Is this what life comes to for college educated people, blogging about that Spears woman?
Ha, yes, now while I have the attention of our viewers, I have a theory I just have developed that I would like to pose. Ha.
The process of existence is essentially the axiomatic representation of every process known to man. It begins as nothing. It starts to take a form. It then starts to have properties. Then the properties are observed as a whole. This creates meaning and awareness of possibilities. The process is now becoming an idea and becoming applicable to the enlightened being. This transcends another plane of existence. It uses the knowledge according to natural law and creates the awareness of the process's basis and beginning; Nothingness. This transcends the being into the realm of Nothingness. He is now the basis of existence. But what is he the product of?
I assume the answer would lie in applying that to the process behind the similar applications of both uses of existence are. Oh, wait, haha, there the uses for nothingness. See Existence(or in this case the existence of the process of anything), serves as a product of nothing because nothingness is the root of existence and the process has arrived back at nothing. Nothingness and Existence are codependent. That's why sometimes the process goes wrong at-application(take the case of Miss Spears)and pulls all of humanity away from Godliness. Haha. A strain on equilibrium. Completely unnecessary.
See these are pressing issues. Britney Spears could possibly be the anti-Christ.
I take my transcendence seriously.
Could any of you translate your words into layman's terms, in 3 sentences or less. (I doubt it)It seems as if it might take you longer to come up with three meaningless sentences that it did to think and type your huges term papers. Come on now, you people are getting monotonous.
