Big Hollywood : Kanye West Vs. Joe Wilson

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:18:55 +0000

"Is it too much to ask a hip-hop “musician” formed by the juvenile arrogance of a genre with almost zero positive contributions to popular culture to resist the easy prey of a humble and traditionally wholesome artist like Taylor Swift. Actually it is too much to ask, way too much." Not a bad article but there is no reason to shit on hip-hop. It is a great form of music.

I don't think brain chemistry conceives ideas. I agree about the crucial importance of liberty and how it is necessary in order to respect volition.

Ayn did not think that man was the source of reality. Reality exists and man has the rational mind as a tool with which to mould reality into what he thinks is best. "That's not true with Rand. She finds all "truth" as a product of the individual human ego." No. It is not a product of the ego, it is found by logic and ration starting with the law of identity and understanding there are both physical and metaphysical Truths in this universe.

The irony being the tech diffusion from the United States private system which facilitates innovation is the reason socialized medicine has worked at all.

it's not much better north of the border, though there is some sanity in a few small circles of people going to the top...

Big Hollywood : D.L. Hughley Parrots Leftist Talking Points, Ignores Inconvenient Facts

Emotionally satisfying arguments are what you can expect out of a culture that places so much emphasize on how you feel and your sense of self worth. At some point bleeding hearts won out against meritocracy in the realm of child rearing and we will continue to reap the harvest that we have sown until we reverse the trend. Until then, fringe opinions that satisfy our often misguided intuition will continue to wreck havoc on an ever diminishing grasp of reality.

Big Hollywood : Philosophical Divide: Sarah Palin vs. Pop Culture's Moral Relativists

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:18:46 +0000

Ego defense mechanisms seem to work on a larger scale when groupthink is involved. I'm saddened to see so many people in denial about the state of the world and the inability to differentiate between what is real and what is ideal. Fairness has become a justification for any implication that on the surface seems to make things 'fair'. I am happy to see a voice like Palin's. Indeed anyone who can understand simple philosophical syllogisms and logical fallacies is A-OK in my books.

Edward Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is a prophetic reminder of the direction of history. I think we have a great society going... Unfortunately it seems cannibals are eating it from the inside out. Great Post~

Conan is funny because he doesn't take himself too seriously. Hopefully he still finds ways to be a bit edgy as that is a big draw for him.

And eye for an eye, whatever happened to the moral majority? I guess we're just part of the moral minority :)

Big Hollywood : A Conservative Journey Through Literary America -- Part 1: Introduction

Sat, 16 May 2009 15:32:21 +0000

I look forward to reading the essay. As to why there would be more liberal art then conservative art... I think art to most people in this society involves pushing limits more so than beauty or truth. Reflections are king. Principles fall to the side; partly due to cultural relativism in the public sphere and partly due to the lack of proper child rearing techniques by parents in the private sphere. Imagine growing up in a household with dysfunctional parent(s) who do not have moral integrity and make no effort to encourage the pursuit of truth/god/knowledge. In such an environment, the proper basis of human life is not cultivated and the human being does not flourish. Rather, at a low function level he or she moves from day to day without much directing them other than the direction of the wind. Base desires and perhaps base passions guide decisions without as much consideration for ration. Likewise, the taste for art is not so much motivated by the truth of the art. Instead, the art is judged by how closely it follows the a trend or fad. In this sense, businesses can look at art like a product that moves through the product life cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_life_cycle_m... The decisions can be made in this way because the art is not as objective as it is fashionable. Marketing. Marketing. Marketing. The largest target market is hit with a broad stroke of low-brow common denominator material. Follow the money and watch how capitalism encourages this cannibalization of culture through parody. As to how to turn this around? Let's figure it out!

Big Hollywood : Waterboard Pelosi -- Let's Get to the Truth!

Thu, 14 May 2009 22:43:05 +0000

Yes I've heard the music for a while now to... it drives me crazy that people won't recognize what is happening in front of us. It's some kind of dark humour of humanity, something you smile at until you fully understand what is going on, only to finally accept it and then it makes you feel really small. We are turning each other into drones instead of liberating our humanity in this way. Taken to the extreme we'll see a society of lemmings. I always liked that game as a child, it was so simple and if you messed up you could restart the level. That still works right?

Well my last comment was censored; There's so much more to music than what you're talking about, drawing a correlation with such a narrow scope is a mistake. Listen to some of the freshmen 10 and comment on the direction if you want to talk about something positive. Don't hype up what you are trying to fight. Be for something.
