Yeah seriously right? What the living **** should we talk about. We don't have anything interesting to post so we don't post it. I guess this is just the boredom thread of sciforums. What do we want to discuss. For fucks sake. :bawl:
"Who'll be the first current member of Sciforums to die?" La Mort, C'est la Vie. :jason: Place your bets..
Now that's rather my point. I propose that not thinking about your death at least once a day is injurious.
There are so much more things to self-gratify with. So it's not really a lack of restraint, merely a new plethora of opportunities.
Or, indeed, horse before cart. I don't even think it's circular. I think people have always been multifariously depraved without, in the past, an opportunity to express it. Liberalisation and an explosion in consumer choice have merely provided the means.
Chaos is the new order; except I wonder how many depravations are real and how many we are manipulated into.
I blame Gorbachev, along with Fukuyama and his postmodern ilk. Want profound meaninglessness and a thousand ways to kill yourself on a crisp bed of unfettered consumerism? You got it.
