  5. What the !@#$ is Postmodernism?

    E.g. a box is only named such so that someone else knows what I am referring to. There is no absolute object in the universe called a box. The box is a collection of smaller parts. egads, there is a dead cat in that box. yeah postmodern world and its signs and signified signifiers,,hitchcock movies, north by northwest and vertigo. but out there in the postmodern arena stands a bull that must be faced. the bull's name is derrida.i am still enjoying the scruton book on beauty by the way......i still think pink floyd is the perfect representation of postmodern world, hahaha (as in the laughter of eclipse) i sit with popcorn waiting for sinfest to face derrida

    i over looked this becoz i thought it was a benny hill clip. and i do find benny hill amusing in his lowbrow brittish brand of humor. benny hill is great. but looking today, i realize it is benny hinn and i looked at the video. this guy is some high level tai chi master? or what? maybe gary clyman or john chang can push hands with this guy? and see what happens.........
  13. The Tao Of Nietzsche

    Like I said elsewhere, there is a certain sickness that has penetrated society ... i call it the post-modern mindset, all too shallow and thinking only of consumerism too much faith in science and too little in art, the flight from beauty brought on the sickness
