are you drunk?

no... i wanted to really have a philosophical discussion about myspace... but i figured idiots would come into the other thread posting their idiot bullshit... so I made a more low-brow version of my other thread, with the hopes of ensnaring people who... let's just say have less processing power...

aparently, though, no one cares about either topic. grrr.... is there any place where really smart people talk about this? i'm not trying to be arrogent. there's nothing better about being smarter, and some of my closest friends are fucking retards... but it would be nice if there were somewhere where i could talk about this shit...

but my space isn't cool, at all.

i think you need to broaden it to invoke a philosophical discussion.

all the features of myspace are available elsewhere in the world (online and offline) and often all in the same place. the one thing myspace can boast is that it is online, and therefore 'universally available'.

what angle are you taking this from?

Well, I posted another thread about this that was way more sociological in nature, and comenting on post-modernism (and how myspace is affecting the individual sense of identity)...

that was the philosophical angle. but i wanted to have another thread so that people who were more low-brow could just talk about whether they liked myspace. basically i didn't want the thread getting fucked up with "my friend jenny thinks myspace is really cool, and she sucks." See what I'm saying?

But my idea totally failed. NOT ONE PERSON responded to the other thread... And every response here has been "Wow. I didn't know you believed in free-basing on Sundays."

on a sidenote, did you know a few cigarette manufacturers have been putting chemicals into ciagarettes that 'freebase' nicotine in the same way a crack addict freebases crack?

i don't think myspace is a unique experiment in itself, i still think it needs to be broadened. to what, i don't know.

maybe if you see myspace as a representation of post-modernism then talk about post-modernism. i think the myspace angle may be putting people off? post-modernism and its benefits/limitations are a very interesting discussion, however.

i specifically wanted to talk about myspace and post-modernism. if i just wanted to talk about post-modernism, i'd read a book. i wanted to talk about something very specific that is happening right now!

you talk to books? do they talk back? o_O

seriously, though. myspace isn't very specific. it's also always better to base philosophical arguements on several branches of the same phenomenon, otherwise you're talking about one (rather) pointless thing.

i've had a look at your other thread now. i don't know why people haven't answered when they have answered this. i don't think myspace is a source of deep philosophical thinking so that may be the reason. instead myspace may be a result of deep philosophical thinking on a broader scale.

as for my answer to this threads question "myspace is cool and that is philosophical - discuss".

that's not philosophical, that's subjective logic.

all philosophy is based on assumptions. everything is subjective logic, even philosophical logic that says (Ax>Bz)iff(Yx>~Zx). logic is based on subjective assumptions. you've been reading some crappy philosophy.

Post-modernist thought is well outdated. Try some thing nearer the 21st century!

i wish i had an envelope like the magicians have.

"and earlier i wrote down what your answer would be"

like the person above me said, post-modernist thinking is outdated. i'd prefer to use the term advanced.

post-modernism was a real tear from most things defined as subjective/objective and their relevance to our lives. we've had a few decades of experimenting with these new ideas and have now moved to advance the freedom expressed within them back into the realm of traditional objective philosophy - the realisation we all share the same space, even if we don't all perceive the same space.

i merely said it is subjective logic because the assertion that my space is cool and therefore philosophical infers that cool things are philosophical. that is a subjective logic, no? to be philosophical you'd have to draw conclusions from this subjective logic.

so yes, philsophy can be based on subjective logic (but isn't exclusively based on subjective logic). but just by stating some subjective logic you are not arguing a philsophy.

and what goes on between me and which books is a private matter - although not all of them seem to be eager to speak to me.

it relieves my boredom for about 10 minutes....

Myspace is a breeding ground for serial killers/pedifiles.
Not to say that I don't have one. Everyone and their mother has a myspace.
I just keep it on private and use it to communicate with friends. I came back in contact with a lot of people through it. Yet 'cool' isn't quite the word I'm looking for. Overrated, on the other hand, will do just fine.

hahah yeah we know its bad but we cant get away from it. i quit but then i was haunted by it; bands and their links to myspace and the radio me waking up hear about myspace arhh!

it is a place to make one feel better about themselves and you get your daily fix, it is like crack lol

i liek myspace because its a fab way to meet people, talk to people you already know, look for people you know etc. its fab for bands too. great exposure. obviously your going to get sickos on there... you get them everywhere unfortunatly. i think its pretty cool. games, videos etc are wicked too

This is true. It's like a psychological dependency. I've gone through about three of them to date.

why are you so narcissitic??? "there is nothing better than being smart"?? I agree, there is nothing better but if you have to say it implying that you are smart, well that means that most probably you are not smart and you are just one more nobody in this world that is not going to leave any legacy at all. Maybe people don't respond to your threads because you are not humble in your words.

Back to the topic, I don't see anything profound coming out from a MySpace discussion maybe because there isn't anything profound about My Space. People that have My Space are basically promoting themselves or showing themselves into the world, kinda like saying "I exist". And we custom our my space hoping people will see it, and some people spend hours looking at all the my spaces, and the links and all, maybe looking for a connection or something. I have My Space and I have like 20 friends that most of them I don't know at all, and they don't even talk to me, they just want to add me to their list of friends, but why?? they don't talk to me and when I send them a message they don't answer so we are definetely not friends yet I'm on the list that says "friends".

I think that My Space is just one of the thousands of mediums we create to try and connect with each other but we really just end up feeling lonelier.
