Re: DISAGREEMENTS and THIS LIST was: Re: distortion, overdrive,fuzz,crunc
Ok dammit: This certainly all makes more sense now, even if I didn't
particularly enjoy it. Kevin's posting about "Where's the GOO?!" really
gets
it for me—I just wanted to hang with the topic and find the GOO! (Not hide
behind my disto!) Hell, Socratic-ly arguing about which GOO would have
been
less tangential and more satisfying. I'll try to use Rick's useful
information as a guide. Damned philosophy classes! They DO change your
perspective. Sorry for the disturbance.
I had no idea that's where the term "Gadfly" came from Kris. Damned
S-method
does get on my nerves dude. Sorry.
***********
Understood, man. Hey, there is a reason why Socrates was put to death by
drinking hemlock :) You can only piss off the status quo for so long
without it coming back to bight you on the ass.
Sidenote for Optional Reading: For me, my bachelor's degree in philosophy
changed my life permanently, sometimes for the good, sometimes for worse.
I
basically took a vow to myself that I would always question, always search
for answers, and never be satisfied with anything that couldn't withstand
the test of reason. And so logic, rhetoric, and an understanding of
logical
fallacies are my working tools. And it really isn't personal. This is a
peculiar thing about philosophy majors....they can engage in very heated
debate, which makes outsiders feel very uncomfortable and think they are
fighting personally, but then after the debate, they laugh and go off and
have a beer together. It is all just a matter of distancing oneself from
the
person, and focusing only on the logic of the subject matter, which is the
only way to tackle the problems without getting caught up in emotion and
other biases that can effect the outcome negatively, generate
inconsistencies, etc. And of course, this is only an ideal. We all serve
from the ideal in imperfection.
