Socrates and You

[wolven7]

Imagine: No job. Going around provoking answers out of people, getting them to admit that they don't know shit. Moving on, because you've got the guarantee that you're the wisest motherfucker in the world, cause you know you don't know shit. But you Do know That. Smug doesn't even apply, and it's not pretention. It's what you do.

When Socrates did it, he was a pioneer.

When you do it, in any more that a methodological starting point, you're an overly ironic hipster jerk.

That is all.

Oh come on, everyone knows Socrates was a ninny who pranced around with a silly haircut and girls' jeans.

But any time you're the First to do something, you're still a pioneer. Even if you're a pioneer Jerkface. *nods*

What is "Irony"? Crap, wait, that one doesn't work... Uhm... How about Beauty? We haven't done Beauty in a while, have we?

[celestial-fluke.livejournal.com]

I'd wager so, yeah. You should get on that. So to speak.

That's the real problem with episodes 1-3 of Star Wars. Lucas is doing a lot of the same, but he's not a pioneer anymore. He's just a rich jerkface, jerkface.
