Dumbed down * 1

Not long ago I made the observation that Greek philosophy was a caricature of it's original form, emphasizing some central ideas beyond the original scope while being void of the nuances of the original.

Modern Frankenstein: Argggg! Grrrr!

Original Frankenstein: Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemlance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.

Is this a facet of the modern world or was it always thus?

It's the shape of the audience potential which expands its base from a small triangular appeal with some cultural sensibility at the narrow top, to a much wider appeal with less discrimination as it spreads out below, losing articulated refinements, and symbolic meaning, while appealing to even more people - until no longer representing ideas more complex than digestive utterances all people have equal access to culture.

Neat.  Some choice words right there.

Insofar as it tracks, logic-visually speaking, I suppose i'd have to concur, but - anyways, i'm mostly stopping in to say ty for the hetti visualization - which to me depicts courses of flow of certain particular phenomenons regarding distribution of energy-laden-info/data, or - at least as from within the perspectival parameters set forth by said arrangement of geometry wrt people while accounting for some nuances along the way to boot, too. I'd write my proper 2 cents, but right now it's needed more elsewhere, and i've little spare change atm, dig? :lol:

  In other words, cool & thnx. :cool::thumbup:

Don't choose to lose, engage to accumulate reward as you see fit.
