a "pseudo-intellectual" is one who believes they are incredibly intelligent by simply regurgatating a bunch of bulls hit that they heard somewhere else.
Think all those people who read "Da Vinci's Code" and try to act like they are religious historians or something.

To Jewpin: Good point. I shall try not use the term iGeneration so freely in the future. Let me elucidate, however: Although I do not conform to every characteristic of the iGeneration [For example, I do not own a cell phone], I am admittedly part of it, and so is most of the board. However, the reason I used it so much originally is because so many people on this board conform to every salient characteristic of the term. I mean, most people on this board seem like mere parodies of the vaunted stereotype.
Don't you find that just a bit strange, or disturbing? As for conforming: Fitting in or fitting out has never been a problem for me. It is simply a question or problem that never occurred in my mind. However, I know it's a problem for most people, but isn't this the internet? Why should anyone feel the need to still fit in when you're faceless? When you're faceless, you're blameless. Wearing a mask in a crowd of masks makes you free, doesn't it? One of the definitions of anarchy is: A stateless society. If the forums are a miniature society, then consider how I might be applying the term. Go ahead, it'll come to you, eventually. Specforces: You complimented me, but I would still have ignored you if someone else hadn't posted up links to some of your other posts. Good man. You're interesting, I think we're going to get along. |

To Jewpin: Still not what I meant. Try a more abstract sense, rather than the literal meaning.
As for all the members with posted pictures: That's their destruction of personal freedom. Surely you can see the ignorance inherent? The sheer walls of stupidity they construct around their feet? Who doesn't want to be anonymous? Why post your picture and phone number for all, rather than just the people you trust? The one time they aren't in a situation with peer pressure, they pressure themselves. They create an atmosphere where they're caged, once again. Like throwing away the key directly after you've found it again. This is exactly the kind of attitude and "critical thinking" I was attacking. These people, and you, if you're one of them, disgust me. Trying to fit in is the most vulgar compulsion possible. I want to use the word scum, but the sad fact is, almost everybody acts like that. Compelled and controlled by their own whims, shaped by what they've been taught. Never, ever, looking up. Emotional yuppies. Filling your life up with just another type of currency... Scum. |

So now you're calling our site scum.
No offense dude... but if that is all you plan on doing here... stop. Go bug other sites where they might be more willing to humor you (or attack you more harshly, if that is how you get your jollies). We aren't going to change just because you come along and think its so sad that we're close enough to share our image with each other. We've held local meetups... I've met people from this site in my travels to other parts of the country, and vice versa. We like our forum, the people on the forum, and ourselves (for the most part). I hope you can find such a place for yourself.

I never said I was better, did I? I just hate the propensity for lockstep most exhibit. This is a purely personal attack, my ideals, against yours.
I never brought any universally moralistic views, or any sort of puritanism whatsoever, into the argument. So leave them out. Tasselfoot: I will not stop until you lock the topic. So go ahead. I won't start another one, because my point will have been made. |

Somewhere deep in that post lays a message that is nothing but the truth. Too bad the post is so cynical and 'abstract' it's overlooked.
Sure, there are people that feed off being 'in' and are fed by the media. Brainless, superficial beings that do not act off their own thoughts. 50% of the population is below average intelligence. However, posting a picture doesn't put you in this category. Have you ever heard of having a little fun and branching out? You should try it sometime. You come across as nothing more than a whiner in that post. The universe is a wonderful place. There is more to it than being overly critical about everything. *yawn* this thread really isn't going anywhere. XD

Catcher in the Rye anyone?
Has a valid point, but, the purpose of this forum isn't intellectualism, it's debate. No where does it say we try to attempt to be smart, it is inferred.It says "higher" thinking. As in, on a higher level than the rest of the site. This section accomplishes just that, and nothing more. Last edited by Tps222; 02-26-2006 at 12:10 AM.. |

Wasn't there some guy like this two years back, attempting to be above everyone else in the forums.
He had a megatokyo avatar... |

This is the equivelant of Barry Bonds joining a Little League baseball team and expecting people to play to his level.
