Quiet
 

"They do not understand me: I am not the mouth for these ears.

Perhaps I have lived too long in the mountains; I have hearkened too much to the brooks and trees: now I speak to them as to the goatherds.

My soul is calm and clear, like the mountains in the morning. But they think I am cold, and a mocker with terrible jests.

Now they look at me and laugh: and while they laugh they hate me too. There is ice in their laughter."

Thanks for the tip, good readin.:thumbsup

wannabe

Yeah, why do they laugh and sneeze...?

Bad timing, cockroach.

fag

That cracks me the fuck up.

Now you've resorted to just posting from your private stash of extremely disgusting gay pics instead of verbally attacking me. And why? Because you've looked like a fucking idiot almost every time we've butted heads.

But your hate is endearing, keep it up my cute little bitch.

Ouch. Buuuuurrrrrnnn. :glugglug

the package is ready to be shipped.

Believe me knightmare, you don't want to jump on Labret's bandwagon. He's built himself his own little cart and you'll get kicked the fuck off.

32 is not enough...

:eek7 :eek2 :fart :boid

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Took me a second.

Yawn.

uh oh, been attempting some Nietzsche...

key word being "attempting".

For what... To jerk off?

The Boneprone video theme song is stuck in my head...

Now I'm gonna have to redo my wallpaper :(

Yeah, the last one I read was The Antichrist when I was about 13, but he did'nt really appeal to me enough at that age to dig deeper.

No, to get it.

hmm.

Remember that game Digdug?

Let me guess... The Gay Science?

:winkwink:

Which one? Atari or Nintendo version?

I only tried the arcade one... I think I remember I used to play it in Subway when I was a kid...

Hey everyone! Look at me!

I'm intellectual

NOT! :winkwink:

As far as the arcade goes, I don't know why, but I loved that game...doublebubble I think it was called, where you have a wall of bubbles that are coming from the top of the screen, and you have to shoot a certain colored bubble to it's identical in groups of three or more. Bubblebobble maybe?

That and Tetris & pac-man.

It must be boring in Detroit..

Fucking INBREEDED.... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

When looking at the banana picture, I swear I actually smelled feces coming from it.

everyone stop quoting that dam pencil in the guys ass pic!
my brain!

Nietzsche primarily appeals to people on two different levels, since his work contains both seemingly profound nonsense and seemingly uninteresting analyses which were way ahead of his time and can be considered the "invention" of postmodernist thought.

The people interested in his works can be roughly divided into two groups.

punkworld: the guy who discredits any scientist.

ive seen you bash everyone from Freud to Jung, now ole Fred.

You even knock Cradle of Filth.

Im convinced you dont have a clue. ;)

Bro, you can say that about anything...

Ill never forgive him for his attempt to discredit cultural relativism.

It's no secret that Nietzsche went crazy at the end of his life, and had always been a bit crazy. Regardless, he has written some very valuable things. Most of the people reading his works, however, fail to pick up those things, and go for the psychotic babble instead. Somehow, that appeals to the masses more than true insight - which can also be found in his works.

Now, Freud and Jung are a fairly clear case. Read "Conjectures and Refutations" by Karl Popper, and you'll get some great arguments against their scientific methods.

And Cradle of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast was their last half-decent album.

wa wag won wo - woo we wa wog

In philosophy, and ethics specifically, cultural relativism has pretty much been murdered, no matter how much you whine about it. I don't like it either, being a cultural intuitionist myself, but it's a fact.
Now, if you want to do something about it, by all means, do it - get out of porn and start lecturing at universities, and maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to revive it. I'd most certainly consider that a good thing.

Hey, they've brought us some major innovations, I'll be the first to admit that, but their methods were and are flawed from a scientific point of view.

That is utter and complete horseshit and is mind numbing that you would even attempt to say its been "murdered". You never put arguments forward against it, just always claim its been done away with.

Its just such a basic theory, you learn it in any 101 level course in any of the social sciences. Its not some difficult to grasp concept, its a basic basic theory. Revive it? I just graduated not too long ago and I dont think in the last 3 years the very backbone of my profession has been ripped out.

Seriously, this is cultural relativism in a nutshell. Its very basic. Its nearly a no fucking brainer.



Please, destroy it. I beg of you. The shit that comes out of your mouth borders on mental illness.

We already had this conversation once in another thread, and I pointed you to some of the recent literature on the subject. Read it.

Right now it's 5 am, and I don't feel like writing a book to defend a point of view I myself don't even agree with.

One argument to think about though, namely one that I don't agree with (I'll gladly write up the reasons for that some time) but which has had a severe impact: The fact of different moralities existing by no means implicates the absence of an objective moral standard. Or, simply put, the fact that we have different opinions on a subject does not mean both are right.

Now, goodnight.

so you're saying people frequently misinterpret and fail to understand other people's work? shocker.

'the masses', reading *any* complicated work(s) requiring heavy interpretation, will result in similar tendencies. lol.

Well, actually, I wouldn't call it misinterpreting or failing to understand. I think a more appropriate description would be that they fail to separate the valuable things from the crap, and are overly proud of reading, knowing and believing the crap.

hahahaha
