Not asleep, thinking on things

[wolven7]

Kate Bush - [Brazil]--- My only problem with "The Situation" is people taking it like its new. "The Situation," about which i told you, the other day, is the forum on http://somethingawful.com. Post-Modern deconstructionist, "To talk about it is to limit it, and The Situation cannot be limited," kind of thing. (Gary Numan - [Absolution]). It's Taoism, and Zen, and deconstructionist &c., rolled into one, and people are lauding it like an innovation.

People are so wrapped in the supposed "new" of it, that they're missing the potential that kind of interchange has... At the very least, it's going to take them a lot longer than it should.

Or maybe i'm just an enlightenment snob.

Done, now...

Meh. People get too excited over the novelty of things, for too long. Yes, enjoy it for a bit in, but don't dwell on it's youth. That's where we get a youth-obsessed culture like we have today...

And it's also seen as something new because maybe it's a) something not understood well until someone put it the right way for people to do so, and b) something only really touched upon and communicated by cracked Zen monks, Chaotes and Dadaists, so when someone fairly 'normal' does so, it seems new.

I dunno. Or they're all idjits.

And that, apparently, is the Situation. >_<

People so wrapped up in describing what "the situation" is or isn't, no one's talkling about what the obvious infinity of the situation means, as a whole. Damn them.
