This is a general through line in fandom discourse. Most online fans treat movies and comics as 'real' in a way that the average medieval peasants did not think the bible was and I whenever I try to explain this to other people I feel like I'm going insane
@beltesco1064245@neco_arctic@runclepennybags I've always wondered what the particular right-wing problem with postmodernism is. Could you tell me why you think postmodernism is so important to understanding the current moment, or what you think it is?
The fact that Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox still have cultural relevance in the mid 2020s is incontrovertible proof of the cultural glaciation and ossification of recent years and it's only going to get worse from here.
obviously men are crying about how this is untrue and unfair and yada yada, but I find it funny how many are saying this is bio-essentialist. she's not saying men are born this way, or even that it's all men everywhere. the problem is that it's learned (taught) behaviour lol
As a man, I often think most of my gender are closer to dogs than people. It's not their fault, but when you talk to some men, how can you think anything else?
Reading a lot of feminist literature and spending a lot of time around lesbians and feminists and a lot of women in general, I came to the conclusion a while ago that women have never really believed men are fully formed people in a serious way
@SamtheNightOwl Season 9 is undoubtedly the Golden Age. My personal cutoff is exactly halfway through season 10 episode 12. When they arrive at the Superbowl the episode falls apart into cheap cameos, and the Golden Age ends at that moment.
If you're the Truth Knower and all, could you just define this scale of yours for me? What's being measured, against what? As far as I'm aware we've yet to develop a tool to read the 'commoness' of a thought.
For all the dummies:
Imagine ORDINARY as a baseline.
Way above which is EXTRAORDINARY.
Way below which is PATHETIC.
So:
Extraordinary
โโ-ordinaryโโโ
Pathetic
As ideas move down they become MORE common.
As ideas move above the baseline they become less common.
Below the baseline the ideas are NOT thoughts but PROGRAMMING.
As you increase in RANGE above the baseline of ordinary ideas they become increasingly long-term and eventually PERMANENT.
Pathetic is a domain that captures small minds and narrow hearts with manipulative lies; the secret of which is APPEAR VIRTUOUS.
As you reach the Extraordinary domain of ideas the mind becomes a Visionary of Ideas which manifest differently depending one oneโs genetics and talents I.e Elon technologist.
For the daft, LIFE and PROTECTION of innocence are at the top.
Death and destroy life are at the bottom.
Truth is ONLY that which beings LIFE.
All else is a PATHETIC LIE that satisfies the darkest nature in humans.
Hope that helps.
