Caltrops - Laurence Fishburne's Dance Dance Revolution





	[quote name="laudablepuss"]It can give your life meaning, but what meaning? It's like those movies Fabio hates where one character is a genius because other characters proclaim that he is. Do we see him being a genius? We probably see him being a jackass. Why this isn't a problem for many movie-goers is a mystery, and why it's not a problem for many Christians etc. is also a mystery. In any event, the people who aren't suspending all reason and lying to themselves about a personal god giving a shit about them are probably lying to themselves about their odds of beating the stock market or their skill at their job or something else. Including me, of course. We don't need modern research to know this about ourselves, but the research is fairly remarkable. I had been examining <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Believing-Brain-Conspiracies---How-Construct-Reinforce/dp/0805091254/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317186259&sr=1-1">The Believing Brain</a> before I lost interest . . . for some reason the author rubs me the wrong way occasionally. [quote]it offers a story of our role in the world that has been refined through a centuries-long process of destillation. All of which were conceived to make it clearer to us what stories lead us to have fruitful lives that embody the flexibility required to deal with an attack on our representations of the world.[/quote] I have read lots of illuminating stories that were totally devoid of religious overtones. And I'm aware that I'm a product of our shared civilization. :/[/quote]
