A Story of Insecurity, I guess...

Discussion in 'The Whiners' started by NativeAmericanHippie, Jul 30, 2005.

  1. novels, computers, food (and it damn well is media, it's a medium between earth and it's inhabitants, if you can't get tomatoes you know there is something wrong with earth....)

    and choosing to blame media for everything is a weak excuse, you could cut a child off from all media (well not food, but you could keep them from understanding it's ramifications as media) and someone would call them something


    I don't fit in groups simply because I have very wide and varied interests, from guns to gardening oil painting to oil seasoning of pans, I am if anything a monotreme socially, a tomato, technically one thing but only if one were to use a very strict definition, and if one were to use strict definitions of several sorts I'd fit into several categories not perhaps cleanly but I'd fit (there was a time where I could have fit in jock...... HA)

    nomenclatures and taxonomies are fragile ideas, we must realize that before we choose to hate them or we bitch about them, they are only ideas, a label means nothing because it is only an idea that doesn't even mean the same thing to 99% of the people who use it, ideas are tricky, especially with people like humans who choose to communicate so weakly,


    at least with cats you know what you're dealing with.......

    as interesting as i'm sure you are, people will always find a way to categorise you..

    my point was you can't tell someone to go and not fit into a group even though pretty much every does..
     
  3. then why do we have terms, nomenclatures for an absence of fitting groupness?

    i'm not even going to pretend i understand what you're asking me.

    could you rephrase that?

    .... apparently not..
     
  5. why do we have words to describe people who don't belong in groups?


    if everyone theorhetically fits in a group....
