That guy, "hamazzufltasdkjetc" asked a couple of trollish questions and implied that philosophers were all a bunch of intellectual onanists. Something that really irks me and in this case i decided to respond. Unfortunately, UTOOB does not allow comments of more than 500 characters or some such limit, and so i didn't <i>actually</i> respond. Not to him, anyway. But still, i stuck a very brief description of some concepts involved in postmodernism on the internet. oh, uh, er: No argument, just a pathetic attempt at description of what a couple of terms mean.

That hitherto man was unaffected by his environment? Hasn't man always been a synthesis of biology and environment? Maybe it's only the idea of "environment" that has changed, due to the proliferation of media--which now constitutes more of our environment than any of its physical manifestations (i.e. family, neighbors, teachers, priests) creating a precedence of valuation in being a greater media presence than a greater human being (whatever the hell that is). p.s. Hey Brandon, it's Gene. What are you arguing? That hitherto man was unaffected by his environment? Hasn’t man always been a synthesis of biology and environment?
