Do you think a show on where a professor teaches Kantian ethics would more popular than the Hills?
Lol

Wow, you're just out in left field. Are you super high right now?

Um, right, not quite the point...

If you are freaked out that easily, you should probably not read the internets. It's meanOP is freaking me out for some reason. What is wrong with him?![]()

Anyone care what happened to the cast of Lost in Space?
I sure don't.
Of course it is. And of course I do volunteer for tornado relief especially. But I'm talking about my PERSONAL life.
I can do whatever I want. I don't have to be "moral" with who I date etc.
Even the hills characters give to charity.
Just to show off a bit more, on that same holiday.
1956.
My parents took me to the Paris Opera house, at about 14.00, the theatre was closed to the general public, I was introduced to people it was dark and I remember the smell of sweat, later I learnt that I had met Zizi Jeanmaire.
I was 10 years old all I wanted was an ice cream.
The funny thing is, there are +plenty+ of smart, educated people, who are out, with equally smart, beautiful women, experiencing things you can't even imagine - on Monday, they're back to creating amazing things.
There are people with significant business experience and education, who traveled the world surfing some of the most incredible waves ever, meeting worldly, exotic women - who have the money to buy <stuff> but choose to experience life.
You've got this [painfully wrong] that engaging with life has some kind of simplistic formula.
That's such a misguided perspective on things.
You don't need to be the halfwits from the Hills to get out and mix things up, engage with life, climb a mountain, surf a crazy break in New Zealand, drop out of the corporate drudgery and build something great, run an Iron Man Tri, and yeah, even hook up with beautiful, "hot" women and have a three way.![]()
Not really. I've never seen a guy who spends most his time in a library with a model.
.
The hills does a perfect job. Most people are just content with "enough"
.

I agree with you. If you rather study maxims and wills that's great.
But MOST rather watch the hills hence 6 seasons and millions made by the actors.
A show with a professor teaching kantian ethics isn't out there.

Re-reading parts of this - to be frank, quite surreal - thread, I knew there were one or two other matters I wished to raise.
The post I have cited here is post No 53 - from quite a few pages back.
The sentence I felt the need to draw attention is the one which reads as follows: "I can do whatever I want" (a sentence which displays a staggering degree of self-regard), and one which is followed by what I regard as a jaw-dropping observation (and no, 'hotness' does not cause me any degree of 'jaw dropping' but behaviour, conduct and attitudes most certainly can) which reads: "I don't have to be moral with who I date".
That sentence alone encapsulates the entitled attitudes which the OP and those he admires seek to emulate. How and why does dating anyone give you an exemption from expected standards of civilised behaviour? Physical attraction - and the belief that one can and should date only 'hot' girls (but not wallet seeking women) is not a justification for inexcusable behaviour.
And, if I understand some of your posts correctly, you seem to be using this obscure TV series - doubtless an exercise in fictional fantasy fulfilment - about the lives of the beautiful and wealthy as some sort of a template, or blueprint, for how to live your life. [/SIZE][/FONT]
Sometimes, such experiences are totally lost on the young. It is only years later that you look back and wonder why you didn't realise the importance of the occasion, and that you failed to ask any questions other than 'where is the ice-cream?'
I assume that this is the very same Zizi Jeanmaire who is name-checked in Peter Sarstedt's haunting song 'Where Did You Go To My Lovely'?
The conversation seems to have veered into what the OP thinks should be featured on a show that he views as a template for how to live his life.

I agree completely; live life as a richly relished experience - it is a lot more fulfilling and interesting than the alternatives recommended by the OP.
Again, it is all about appearances, what - and who - you think you are owed and should be attracted to, - this clichéd idea of 'a model' - and how you think that this will awe and impress your peer group.
Are we talking about values, ideals, or what you think should be depicted on this show?

I'm getting to the stage where I almost don't know what to say to this, except - perhaps - that I have no real interest in submitting scripts for such a show which espouses such an ethos ..
Now, STNG (a genuinely interesting, thought-provoking and - at its best - an intellectually challenging show would have been something else again ..)
What do you mean with "moraly rotten" and "moral bancruptcy"?
Re Dali, as a teenager I was a bit torn by the fact that I really hugely liked his work - especially his stunning composition - but was made uneasy by the fact that some critics regarded him as 'morally rotten', and went on to dismiss both man and work in such tones, seeing them as indistinguishable.
George Orwell - whom I really admire as writer and thinker - managed to bridge this divide for me when I came across one of his essays which argued that Dali was both an outstanding artist and a morally bankrupt human being, and that one could admire the art while deploring 'moral bankruptcy' of the outlook of the individual man.
