Nihilism on the Information SUperhighway

see, this is what they mean when they talk about the internet being a levelling factor in humanity
m.a.r.c.o. says:
that wasn't sometihng i learned on the internet
Pammy: says:
people get a little bit of information and because there's no risk involved in forming an opinion on it because of the anonymity the internet provides,
everyone feels they have to form an opinion on things. SO carbon dioxide is deemed bad
because people are in general, morons, and the internet is contributing to the er dumbing down of society on a massive scale
m.a.r.c.o. says:
i just watched discovery channel
Pammy: says:
same difference dude. Cable television, the internet, the popular press.
THE PRESS as kierkegaard called them
m.a.r.c.o. says:
i also learned how acordians are made, how pineapples get to the store, how artificial joints are made, how they use concrete slabs to control the water flow of the mississippi and how paper is made...

Pammy: says:
so you got a little bit of information about a lot of things and made no decisions and didn't do anything
m.a.r.c.o. says:
what decisions had to be made?
Pammy: says:
well that's the point. we put ourselves in a postion where we don't have to make decisions
but the decisions we make are what create our Self
so when we choose not to make important decisions and engage in life, we choose to be non existent human beings
we choose to be walking sticks
m.a.r.c.o. says:
ok you're taking way too much philosophy
