Certain posts and torture
    #14421200 - 05/08/11 07:04 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I contend that reading some of the convoluted 'deep-insight' type posts is the equivalent of literary water-boarding. Even though the reader has 'free-will' to look away, morbid curiosity makes one continue reading despite the mental pain of trying to follow the illogic and conclusion-jumping. It is like trying to turn away from watching a devastating car wreck.

And then my head hurts! :sad:

Where is the Geneva Convention when you need it?

Some of the older posts here were real mind-benders (like 6-8 years ago) and many of the worst offenders shifted over to M&P where they still indulge in literary water-boarding with regularity.

Or you could go to AboveTopSecret on any given day if you don't mind risking your head exploding.

I guess this is where we differ. Usually when I realize it is a "deep insight" post within the first sentence, I stop reading and shake my head as to what the Philosophy forum has become.

I think these are they keywords: morbid curiosity.
Sometimes it's probably just trying to see how far the stupidity goes.

Example:

"American president George Bush asked Brazilian president Fernando Cardoso if "Brazil has blacks, too". and you're :docbrown:

yet you know that enlightened mind will keep spreading it's wisdom and can't help to wonder what other pearls may come such as:

"We need to understand if you let kindling build up and there’s a lightning strike, you’re going get yourself a big fire."
~ George W. Bush, in a lame attempt to make deforestation look like a way to stop forest fires, 2002-08-22.

Bush was rather entertaining to watch. Fuck his semi-liberal fiscal policy.
