c. David Grim (taken 4/12/09)And on and on...
"The ironic thing is that these are often the same blunt minds that bemoan the fact that not enough people listen to them, yet the bulk of mainstream "culture" is directed at their demographic because theirs is the least nuanced, and thus the easiest to grasp. They prefer not to have their worldview challenged, and thus reach for the most mundane concepts to consume. If they don't have a convenient category within which to place the phenomenon, then they are anxious, even without the realization that their chosen paradigm has been threatened. The thing is however... that I suspect the concealed heterogeneity in the secret thoughts of all individuals would simultaneously fascinate me and evoke a surprising sensation of identification. Instead I'm exposed to the safety of conformity."
