All I do is vomit up woo-woo thoughts. 24/7. Even on Christmas.

Another wrinkle to the puzzle is @"Baden"'s https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/7110/how-to-write-an-op This is incredible textbook stuff, but i...

Understood, but I would like to know why it was moved (btw I'm not like demanding a reason for any thread being moved or anything). I don't have to kn...
June 26, 2020 at 04:49
Yes, and I should have added this, but feels too late to edit: I was a lurker on the old PF for years before I posted on it. I gained so much from rea...

What you quoted was from this OP by ernestm: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/8481/the-wldm-movement-white-lives-dont-matter/p1

School of hard knocks is what shaped any measly ability I may or may not have in debating, but it wouldn't exist if my intermediate-level lack luster ...

You didn't write that OP...?
June 26, 2020 at 03:56
That's an informative perspective; thanks. Maybe we're lucky here!
June 26, 2020 at 03:50
I read the first few pages here but not all 21. I see it's closed; the end comments seem heated but not bad, but then I'm not sure about the Baden quo...

Can a feature be integrated where any thread that doesn't fit ones personal conception of what real philosophy is gets moved to The Lounge? Based on p...

My fav mod is @"andrewk" because every time I see his name (which is never) I think it's Andrew W.K., and I imagine that Andrew W.K. himself is an est...
June 21, 2020 at 03:42
Yes yes yes. I really appreciate the audaciousness of this idea of yours because it's so true. To write a love poem (the most stereotypical of stereot...
June 21, 2020 at 03:34
Sure, that's a potential positive byproduct, but surely it wasn't worth the dollars and hours required to produce this AI jargon. Surely that's just a...
June 21, 2020 at 03:26
I just re-read this and got all sorts of mis-firing, conflicting thoughts. If poetry is the smoke that you refer to, how does this AI poetry actually ...
June 18, 2020 at 06:08
:fire: Yeah, I found a bit of beauty here and there. I guess, to be fair, I've read some contemporary poetry that made me angrier than this AI stuff d...
June 18, 2020 at 04:32
Sure, and that's the cultural context, at least per your view of current poetry.
June 18, 2020 at 04:21
True, and if an adult were to have written it, it would not have been published.
June 18, 2020 at 04:20
Yes, I know. Practice is the hard work of art...
June 13, 2020 at 04:04
Eh. There are no accurate percentages. If perspiration suggests practice, then of course it's crucial, but I would say inspiration would be more like ...
June 13, 2020 at 04:00
By "genuine" I was suggesting that a natural creative process will produce poetic language; if it doesn't, it would be more akin to some sort of scien...
June 13, 2020 at 03:56
I'm not sure how it's getting tricky, because what you described there is basically what I meant. So going back to you saying "On the other hand if it...
June 13, 2020 at 03:35
I agree. But there are more genuine and less genuine ways.
June 13, 2020 at 03:25
I didn't think you were arguing for anything in particular necessarily; just responding with some thoughts.
June 13, 2020 at 03:24
There's contemporary information in the lines, which I assume was part of the information the AI absorbed. That doesn't equate to a style. I'm not sur...
June 13, 2020 at 03:21
Which actually brings up something else that was bothering me with the AI poems; there aren't many metaphors or similes. Ironically, if anything, the ...
June 13, 2020 at 03:13
Here's a further wrinkle beneath a wrinkle: we're so far only dealing with the English language here. To say nothing of the notorious untranslatabilit...
June 13, 2020 at 03:10
Yeah sure, all I'm saying is that a studied poet understands it's history, and their place in that history, and their work will probably flow naturall...
June 13, 2020 at 03:07
Can you provide support for the idea that poets "raid the pantry", and maybe define what that means?
June 13, 2020 at 02:43
The overall voice reminds me of poetry written by a child - but a kid with some promise. Some of it gave me a chuckle. I don't know. It would have bee...

Never saw the video before. :100:

I picked up a few Donkey Handles at the liquor store on the way home from work. I'll report back soon as to whether or not they've been talked off.

Super sad to see him go as well, but also noticed his account is still here. Mods maybe don't delete him?? I was always glad to see his reasonable dis...
June 05, 2020 at 03:28
Happy belated!
June 04, 2020 at 00:23
For the first time, I whole-heartedly agree. Not that it means anything, but :clap:
May 31, 2020 at 03:23
I can't get into his bird song stuff. I don't know if it's because I'm a bird lover myself, and I'd rather listen to birds themselves, maybe? But here...

Excellent :up:

It's called Evil Genius.

There's a documentary series about that. Highly recommended...

If it used to be the love of wisdom, I guess it's now the love of the analytic brain.

@"Shawn" sounds like an awesome idea. :fire:

Sounds good, I'm drawn to the slightly more surreal aspects of his work, but this is a good indicator that I should check it out. The Mirror is possib...

Unfortunately nowadays videos get crisper and crisper over time, so in 100 years your old age will be all too apparent.
