@lowrad So what's your important idea? The idea of sniffing farts out of a wineglass? Sniff your own farts, and come back when you actually have something to contribute. Moron.
@wompeter1 No, the ... ( 1 year ago by lowrad)
@wompeter1 No, the analogy of self important twats who think they know what's good for other people was Trey Parker and Matt Stone's idea. I contributed by calling these twats out on this forum. Meanwhile, you call *me* out (with much less humour) while contributing no more than I did. Hypocrite.

@ThFranke Isn´t it vice versa? The Internet is only a problem for those who DO use it? Why do you like Postman, if you don´t believe his Faustian thesis?

@PeterRoeder31 :
First: Not to use the internet is also a problem in many ways. It is not that easy.
Secondly: Which Faustian thesis?

@ThFranke That new technology also takes something away. It brings something but there is a price...

@PeterRoeder31 :
Hm, I didn't say, that I do not like this thesis, it is plain truth.
This talk by ... ( 1 year ago by meltzerboy)
This talk by Postman is based on Huxley's prophecy in "Brave New World" that humans will come to welcome and love the technology that eventually destroys their human cognitive and emotional processes. This is different from Orwell's world vision in "1984," in which environmental forces come to exert a controlling power and influence on our thoughts and emotions against our will. There appears to be some truth to Postman's argument; certainly it offers us food for thought, if we can still think.

The Cloning of Human Beings will not be a Reality. Who cares what Jesus or Buddha would say about this one idea within our century? Why not ask them what they think about walmart? Synthetic Organs are cheaper, more effective and less ethically concerning... NOOB! OMFG I'm speaking to Youtube! So trippy! Not...
Then you go on... To explain Sanity? ... Are you really consciously going to tell people what consciousness is? ... Take a philosophy course.
People often don't ... ( 1 week ago by MoreGarbage)
People often don't choose what's good for them, lowrad. They're giving up freedom and the ability to think in exchange for amusement and triviality. If one person does that, it's a choice. When the majority does it, that restricts choice. Skepticism is healthy and criticizing bad choices is legitimate public discourse.
