  • Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.

    I offered that the relationship between word and thing was becoming more tenuous. Like two telephones drawing further apart. The conversation breaking up.

    We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.

  • I just recently heard it used that way. To describe "conservatives". Much like "yikes" I guess. They assign a new meaning to it and thus it is so.

    Words are different these days. Like, words used to have a secondhand association with reality. But now it's thirdhand.

  • Morality is a great tool for justifying legal enforcement of my desires. All it takes is a good argument connecting the two.

    The arguments are getting less good here tho. They're getting very thin and flimsy.

    What would happen if we threw away the moral argument?

    What if instead of offering a moral argument for why you shouldn't pirate their movies, Disney just said "come at me bro"?

  • My friend (an old lady unfamiliar with pirates) bought a dvd the other day. A comedy from 15 years ago.

    It had been censored. Offensive dialogue dubbed over. No warning on rhe package.

    Yo ho forever.

  • And the selection is VASTLY superior.

    Instead of accessing only what netflix is "offering" today, I have access to EVERYTHING. All the time. Forever. Even obscure weird old stuff.

    The entire body of media created by the human race is mine!
