[quote:Anonymous Coward 26681822:MV8yMTQzMjMzXzM2MTk2MDU4X0MzNUZDMkY5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 34622446:MV8yMTQzMjMzXzM2MTk1OTM4Xzg4NjFGMTFF] there never was any culture. we are stuck on a rock, spinning out of control in the depths of the ass end of beyond nowhere (galactically speaking). there is no one, no life, no meaning, no culture. no one is listening, no one is coming, no one is here already. it is a bad joke at best. [/quote] How very French. You should read Nietzsche's rebuttal of this. [/quote]
Original Message
Two things:
First: I've been reading a lot about Greek culture lately. They were a mighty, noble, and proud people. They sought excellence and beauty in everything they did. I'm not saying their culture was perfect, but the ideals motivating their actions were admirable.
Second: I just saw 3 minutes of the grammies. Some song about Forest Gump. We are living in a bankrupt age. Politics, economics, education - these are just symptoms of the more fundamental cultural rot.
There's not much you can do when you live in a bankrupt age.
