20:00:04 | xulF | arg |
20:00:06 | Lucifer | OK, official chat begins now |
20:00:12 | Lucifer | What is postmodernism? |
20:00:21 | Flux | http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/postmodernism |
20:00:24 | Lucifer | Does it have anything significant to say? |
20:00:28 | Flux | its a memeplex isnt it? |
20:00:36 | xulF | a lame word that acedemic types bandy about to try to appear smart |
20:00:42 | Lucifer | Or can it be dismissed with little effort? |
20:00:58 | Lucifer | Whose side are we on? Whose side is it on? |
20:01:16 | simdizzy | "The central characteristic of Modernism is its rejection of tradition" - didnt you mean postmodernism here flux? |
20:01:18 | xulF | it has yet to be defined in any coherant way, and it thus easily dismissed. |
20:01:18 | Lucifer | Is it a threat or something we should embrace? |
20:01:30 | hkhenson | hmm |
20:01:35 | hkhenson | I would say neither |
20:01:38 | Flux | I think were postmodern, but I think the Brights and the Agnostic church may be better |
20:01:48 | Flux | simdizzy, I was quoting wikipedia |
20:01:50 | hkhenson | mostly a buzz word for fluffy heads |
20:01:56 | Lucifer | Good question, Flux, are we already postmodern? |
20:02:03 | xulF | right you are hkhenson |
20:02:06 | hkhenson | beyond post modern :-) |
20:02:09 | Flux | he he |
20:02:21 | Lucifer | or is it, as some might suggest, mostly a buzz word for fluffy heads? |
20:02:22 | xulF | we are postpostmodern, man' |
20:02:30 | hkhenson | psychologically we are on the other side of the singularity |
20:02:43 | xulF | xulF is now known as Sat-an |
20:02:49 | Kid-A | Kid-A (Kid-A@[death to spam].217.137.106.2) has quit IRC [Ping timeout] |
20:02:51 | Sat-an | I think not hkhenson |
20:02:51 | hkhenson | yearning for the future and not the past :-) |
20:02:53 | Lucifer | other side, hkhenson? |
20:02:58 | Flux | I think it would be more postmodern if werent like 'atheist' but more agnostic, or some similar vibe |
