No fucking duh I'm talking about imagination you feckless retard.
They don't have strong beliefs that's sort of the point. Their beliefs are clunky and mundane, they don't stand up to comparison or to logic.
Comsmicly they're cave people beliefs, ones centered around how to divide the berries because they can dream that the stars are reachable. Base.
Indoctrination isn't the same thing as strong belief, nor is abject stupidity.
Doesn't have to be. Real Humanism requires the same thing, it's what I'd be if I wasn't religious.
Part of it comes from utilitarianization of things, which is the continual March of technological progressivism.
The goal is to atomtize humanity and human experience into the most efficient chunks. It's what the "Creat Context" speech is about, and the basis of transhumanism is.
It's the idea that once a mechanism is explained, it must be controlled, anything less is irresponsible.
In our ignorance and our arrogance, we've decided we cracked the code on not only what storytelling IS, but what it is FOR.
And in that arrogance, we must not only REPRESENT in our stories but we must do so with PURPOSE. On a finite planet, with finite resources we MUST not pollute the cosmic conciouness with petty exapism, our path to godhood cannot abide such distractions.
Walls rose up, great walls of concrete. Windows, their measurements precisely regulated. A series of standardised bricks for other parts. Construction crews and workmen and all the rest, working efficiently and precisely for a long time; filling in the details, the furnishings and precise abstract wallpapers and everything else that went into making a facility.
Finally, it was finished. One single, new tree had been planted in the centre of the central courtyard; not through any sense of whimsy or delight, but to give those within a little sense of nature, of reality in the centre of the grey. To keep them sane, nothing more. A precisely mandated allowance for the improvement of human mental health, until they can find out a way to phase that out entirely.
I watched, and I thought about all that they- that we- had done. I thought about the world they wanted. I thought about their spinelessness. I knew what good was, and what evil was, and I saw none of it in either of them. I thought about hollow men, made of straw, plastered together with thick paste and sold in a hundred, a thousand identical ways in a thousand identical shops. I thought about what we had lost. And I howled.
At night, the day before the site's grand opening, I dug up the seeds of the tree, and replaced them. With a seed of my own devising. And over Site 231 will stand a thing of blood and bone and sinew. A tree that drips and leers and feeds. It will drip strange fire, and that fire will both burn and warm in equal measure. And they will look up at it and wish they had listened while they had the chance.
Ive heard similar, I think it's a good line.
For me this all comes back to the editorialization of language, and in my experience you either understand it or you don't.
You either get "fortify" vs "cheat" or you don't.
I wonder about this.
If I was as empty of empathy as so many people claim, would I really be chilling most days buying groceries and trying to stop my kids eating paint?
I coined a phrase years ago during an argument that I've used since refined version is:
"I've never hated anybody as much as you hate me, because I've never been motivated enough to come up with insults as intense as uou just used"
It's so weird to me that right after I bullied lethn and then made fun of Antonio being Lethn's alt, that Giz started getting reeaallllyyyyy prolific....
Could just be a random VPN, Adblock, network, local blacklist, combo that shits the bed.
His son might be gone already. The point is to ensure it doesn't happen again
This is almost universally true. Taco bell remains reasonable, possibly because there wasn't any cheaper to go with their model so they couldn't actually lose quality
I WISH he was that cool
I feel like unless they change a lot of stuff...
I mean he isn't the villian in that lol
Is that creepy porn lawyer?
I know people personally who have done this. They're dumb. Like in every facet, they're complete failures
At least in that he said he was American
This.
There's been numerous moments over the last few years where somebody writes an article noting that Disney shut entire studios for certain diciplines, not because they weren't profitable, but because they no longer employed anybody to work in them.
2d animation is one. But there were others too
It's cause he talks like a human being rather than whatever alien software is running in Trumps brain
What the fuck are you even talking about.
Because that's where they originated in their current form, as part of the enforcment of English common law. They were generally community leaders and standouts to begin with.
Democratizing and increasing population makes that model unviable, but we've still kept the system in place
Knowledge is being.
That's one of those profusidties that's kinda "eh" when you first hear it. "Sometimes sure, that's an interesting way to look at things"
And then one day it slaps you so hard you have to drool for a few minutes before your brain chemistry catches up.
God meant it when he said "My name is I AM"
We need to unite!
"Around what?"
Around my new world order!
"I prefer our current lifestyle"
Deviant!!!!
By definition, if you accept something. It's acceptable OR you're a failure.
Tolerance can be meaningful. But its not a Virtue, at best is a descriptor and most generally it's a vice.
Which is nothing. Tolerance means you tolerate things that can be safely tolerable. Anything more is excessive anything less is retarded.
It's not a word that communicates any meaning. Other than "things are annoying but not bad enough for me to act on"
Which sure might be a fine meaning but it isn't a VIRTUE since every single person on planet earth has, and does, do that by default.
It's like trying to claim that "gas milage" is a Virtue of a car. "Oh it has gas milage!" Yeah no shit retard.
I downbote him a lot but it's more of a disparate impact thing.
He's also got it ass fucking backwards but whatever.
