People who actually discuss philosophy, as opposed to talking about themselves or blathering on about dead philosophers:

I wasn’t gonna get into this whole cool club thread as I was the cool kid in high school and have since moved on… but… what does ‘crunk’ mean?

Actually, nevermind, you’ve been gone for 6 months… and you know jackshit about philosophy in the first place.

So says the philosopher of Rap.

WAZZUP fo shnizzle.

You know, when I first came here I read a thread between you, ACB and FM and to this day it has remained one of the most intriguing thread I’ve read here.

It’s buried deep, deep in the ILP cave, but I found it. and I’m glad I did.

I know you’re more of a science guy, but do you get my drift?

If not feel free to jump on the wagon with everyone else that focuses on one aspect of my personality/content, while ignoring the rest.

Go back and actually read what I said on the rap thread, if you want. I know you’ll find that I also hate the rap culture as much as you do, in fact… I know it’s more.

Edit: The Philosophy of Rap thread should belong in the sociel sciences section… as half the reason I created it was as a sociel test. LoL… to which the people here failed horribly.

Actually, I have no problem with you or your posts, per se. No doubt you feel intimidated by the awe inspiring amount of name dropping that occurs in posts masquerading as Philosophy at this site. Note this, name dropping is not ideation, it is not philosophy.

That stated, please forgive me if you were not aware of this, but your reputation here is based primarily upon two things, drugs and music. I went with the lesser of two evils.

Exactly, and that’s a testimate to the categorical morons on thie site.

Edit: For the music thing.

I’ll admit the drug one, I smoke lots of pot… I know this, and so does everyone else.

Reputation… come on, you’re smarter than that.

You didnt know that this site is infested with small cliques that do very little aside from gossip about individual posters via private messages?

I am shocked, shocked I say.

There you go :wink:

Gate Control Theory. I like your list because of the holier than thou whining disguised as insightful cynical humorist critique. This site is an experiment on how a philosophy forum might work. The results don’t resemble a college classroom. If they did, no one would ever pay to go to college. What the results DO reveal is something about people. If most people spend their time here being social, playing games, etc., that’s a result, a reality. Not a failure. It can tell you something about how the philosophies and social behaviors interrelate. Many days I feel like Diane Fossey. The philosophy of humor, connection, honor, irony, love, war. It’s all here in these hallowed halls. Some of it I hate, too, just like I might hate a winter chill. I don’t judge it as inferior to the “higher” enterprise of talking philosophy. If you stayed out of mundane babble and stuck with the philosophy section itself, you wouldn’t be so compelled to whine. And as far as Gamer, it’s strange how you fail to see that he was Dunamis’ nemesis, not his groupie. The eleventh hour ass-kissing was an honorable attempt to make amends and say goodbye, to talk him down from the 7000th story window he was getting ready to plunge off of. The idea of Gamer having stars in his eyes for anyone aside from himself is perhaps the largest compliment and the largest insult you could possibly grant him.

Here is a short list, which is biased only to the circles I travel in. Ironically some of the best interplay and posts I’ve had aimed at me or near me were by people not on this list. The amount of people with wit, intelligence and good will here is staggering. But they have hard names, like Km2, so they don’t get mentioned here. Some might be a regular guy like Jerry who penned a shockingly beautiful poem. Some might be a lot of everything, but not have a “most,” like SIATD. So these labels are completely incomplete. I’m still a firm believer in the site. Maybe when I have 1300 posts I’ll feel differently.

You’re in fucking MARKETING.

Wasted potential :unamused:

Excuse you sonny boy. What one does for a living is not at issue here. Monooq has the potential to do more here than offer clipped, depressive and mean-spirited summations about the imperfections here and everywhere. I look forward to those days.

In terms of my potential – in terms of what I can and do contribute here – I think I have utilized it close to its fullest.

You hide from your shortcomings behind a cloud of smoke. But really, that’s how they best hide from you. Right now you’d make a really good 15th man on the basketball team of wisdom and art here at ILP, and I think you can and will do better. I think you could be doing better right now.

Sorry I was talking about my life… not some forum I half ass post on.

Everyone says ‘Gobbo do this, do that’, I’ll do whatever the fuck I want.

Don’t think I’m taking this thread seriously… I just found your post ironic, coming from you.

Courage, lad.

I have the courage to be myself.

And I have the courage to be more than myself.

Perhaps that’s our difference right now.

Heh, I’m not gonna disagree with you there

“Marge”

Oh, I see you discovered a little double-meaning there. Hmm, I wonder how it got there. Oh yeah, I put it there you highon.

That’s what I’m talking about, punchy. the genius is there I can almost smell it, were it not for the cloying…what is that…Indica? Peace Gobbo, it’s a compliment. No hurry. Just file it away.

Alright you beartrap for a mouth… unclench my foot. :wink:

Marge is clearly Dunamis.
