2/12 Informal poll: who is your favorite philosopher and why (if the
explanation can be short)? -- ilyas
\_ Squashed philosophers:
http://www.btinternet.com/~glynhughes/squashed -John
\_ I kant pick just one!
\_ We should locke you out of the motd for that.
\_ Die both of you.
\_ No chance of that, marx my words.
\_ Scheler you can't be serious.
\_ Are you mach-ing me?
\_ That's sarte-nly a possibility, isn't it?
\_ And a hume-ongous one at that.
\_ I really hobbes so
\_ Jesus, guys.
\_ Foucault of you. -- ilyas
\_ They haven't really abused the
names, just bentham a bit...
\_ Alright, will you guys
stop milling around and get
back to the topic at hand?
Seconded. There must be better things _/
to do than russell-ing with these
awful puns.
\_ Stop it, you're confuciusing me
\_ yes these are weber-low expectations.
\_ Dewey stop, or dewey continue?
\_ Dude, this rawls!
\_ I think this thread reached a
new Plato of pain. -- ilyas
\_ I think this thread has
pretty thoreau-ly covered the
subject.
\_ Occam on. There's probably
some life still left.
-- ilyas
\_ Hobbes (the tiger)
\_ Sarte . Life is meaningless
\_ You misspelled Sartre.
\_ This is meaningless
\_ speaking of philosophers, can someone explain which philosophers
would agree more with different ideologies? For example, Marx
would agree more with Communism, Darwin would agree with more
with say, libertarians (every man for himself, survival of the
fittest), etc etc.
\_ I don't know much about Darwin's philosophical ideas, so maybe
he actually did believe in that, but in general the "survival
of the fittest" stuff is a scientific observation. I don't see
any reason why he couldn't be a complete communist. Just because
one observes a certain facet nature doesn't mean one has to
believe in that as a philosophy. I also admit to being rather
illiterate on most of this stuff but I doubt Marx would have
approved of the form that communism has taken... how did the
classic socialist/communist writers propose leadership to be
designated? I was under the impression that they simply
overlooked that aspect.
\_ Well answered. Being Darwin wouldn't necessarily make
Darwin a Darwinist.
\_ "Darwinism" is a scientific term. "Social Darwinism"
is a political term that has little to do with the man.
\_ You're right, I mistook "Darwinist" as equivalent to
"Social Darwinist". According to webster, they're not.
Thanks for the correction.

2/11 Korn sells out completely, makes lame appearance on Monk (USA).
Seriously, what the hell happened?
\_ It almost brings a tear to my eye to think of someone who
went to Cal ever thinking Korn was not a corporate sellout crap
band from day one.
\_ 1: who is Korn (ksh)? 2: What is Monk (USA)?
\_ hey check out this cool site: http://google.com
\_ 1) I have no idea
2) One of the best shows on TV, airs on USA network. (It has
gone downhill a bit in the last few episodes.)
\_ Didn't they sell out with their lame appearance on South Park? |

2/12 Monkey Man for the Donkeys:
http://tinyurl.com/4wj3j (news.yahoo.com)
\_ Uh, right. When this guy (http://www.bushorchimp.com is no longer
president, you can start calling democrats "monkeys". For now,
it's probably a bad idea.
\_ So turn about isn't fair play?
\_ Fair play? More like affirmative action for people whose
political opponents don't really look like chimps. Find
your own jungle animal to use to make fun of Dean.
\_ I thought it was a reference to YAAARRGGGHHH!
\_ Apparently there is some similarity btwn the
the Steve "Monkey Man" Balmer "I love this
company" video and the Dean scream. This
is what I was refering to.
\_ I have a scream speech, v 2.0 by H. Dean
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaarggggghhhh!!!!!
starts at around 41 minute mark
rtsp://video.c-span.org/mdrive/rwh031603.rm
\_ Being compared to a monkey because of one's behavior
is far more insulting than being compared to a monkey
because of one's looks.
\_ In what way does Dean resemble a monkey to you?
\_ I thought the Bush == Chimp was a reference
to his intelligence not his looks.
\_ Then you're obviously not very intelligent
yourself now are you? |
