    Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

    so Scottie - mind if I call you Scottie? - how long did it take you to perfect your dialogue/character? Did your relationship threads really generate the philosophical discourse you were seeking? I thought they were highly entertaining but I'm not so sure they were quite as insightful as you may have intended. Then again I didn't ever take you seriously as I knew there was no possible way you were completely for reals - just as a pointer, next time maybe don't suggest all of your love interests are models for the sake of credibility. Oh, also, if you haven't already done so, I am excluding myself from your experiment as my IQ is only 120. :flowerforyou:


    ETA: I should also mention I am only 45% sure you are serious about this whole biography business.

    I don't remember my IQ. Can I submit SAT scores to see if I qualify?

    You are so welcome. :laugh:

    Unfortunately, in reference to your actual post. No, existentialism is not dead. I have nothing to add to that.

    Is it unbridled arrogance day in the forums?

    Sorry, but I have $50mm in derivatives to deal with, and I stopped thinking of existentialism in undergrad.

    How am I doing?

    Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting at a café table working. A waiter approached him

    ‘Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?’ he asked.
    ‘Yes, I’d like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream’, the philosopher replied.

    A few minutes later, however, the water returned and said,

    ‘I’m sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream — how about with no milk?’

    ^my point was driving conversation to philosophy - to see if I could get people that divulge in lackluster entertainment through reading text - yet entertain them enough to guide them through philosophical discourse.

    Ah. And models. - indeed they are real - at the moment though I am only dating one lady at the moment and she is not a model - she was the psychologist I referred towards in a previous post. - frankly all of that though was strictly entertaining and embellished - I haven't fully formed my own 'self' I am still discovering and forming my identity, dating is a huge distraction from my current order of high priorities. I could care less about any of that - shocking how entertaining a randoms dating life was to everyone though.

    Do you already have a publishing company willing to pay you for this? Getting anything that falls into the realm of non-fiction (does this, really?) is close to impossible without already having a good editor and a publishing house looking for a specific NF topic.

    This is the kind of topic that isn't likely to lead to a profitable reader base, so publishing houses tend to shy away unless the person writing is a media sensation (either positive or negative), a college professor with a captive audience required to pay the requisite $250 for a course textbook (and in most cases, these are generally self-published unless the professor is recognized as an expert and likely to garner additional profits from other institutions utilizing the text), a renowned historian writing on a topic that has garnered substantial interest based on the Nielsen performance of an on-point documentary, or a renowned scientist discussing a controversial topic.

    So, I guess what I'm getting at is without pre-funding, any book you would write on the subject would be purely for self-edification. As such, what any of us think is entirely inconsequential.

    :flowerforyou:

    Awe.. vanity publishing will help significantly decrease your bank account :) Best wishes and Good luck :) The happy face will lead you to believe my IQ is <175.

    ^I edited out 'fellow'...typed a bit too fast I can see where your coming from saying it appears arrogant.

    GL hedging the bets!

    -So existentialism isn't a priority to everyone. Appreciate your insight.

    Interesting. I did not pick up on that at all, but then again I do not meet your IQ cutoff... :smokin:

    Yes, if you recall I previously asked you if there would be less embellished posts from you outside of the main forums. I can't quite decide if being so completely over the top was helpful or harmful to your cause. Would being less obvious of a "troll" (for lack of better term) have been more conducive to your experiment? Did it go according to your expectations?
