thenewjimmorrisonI can understand where you're coming from. However, has it not happened to you where an individual has said something that they proclaim is "deep" and they think themselves so intelligent because if it, yet its like basic entry level knowledge? This i would say is a "pseudo-intellectual"
I have but I don’t ever write them off
Even if I don’t think it’s deep that person does and it’s inconsiderate not to acknowledge it. You can disagree by all means but to classify ones thinking as “fake deep” is just detrimental to open discussion and leads to less sharing which leads to less information which leads to less knowledge
Do you get what I’m getting at?

As art yea i can definitely understand what John Cage was trying to do but then theres youtube videos of people actually performing the piece and it just straight up looks ridiculous
I wonder what it inspired

No because this was from the 1950s
Something from today like some rap songs for example is far more pretentious

Avant-garde music, musique concrete, tape loops, field recordings...pretty much any form of experimental music

Is this the epitome of faux-intellectualism or is it truly a masterpiece?
Whats yall take?
I mean its weird and kinda dumb, but it definitely is provacative
Apr 7, 2020·1 replyWFHThis idea of “faux-intellectualism” or “fake deep” or “pseudo intellectual” is very bad for open minded and comprehensive discussions
Philosophy and the study of the psychology is all subjective. It’s open to however many interpretations you want that’s the point
Sharing information with others and discussing, a***yzing and reflecting
There is a vein of anti-intellectualism that is pervasive in these modern times. Anything remotely sophisticated or requiring some thought is immediately condemned as pretentious. Pisses me off.
This post would probably be seen as pretentious because I used some so-called “big words” when, in reality, people just need to read more

- Apr 7, 2020Ooo
They were great
They were but some s*** just makes me roll my eyes...I like William S Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg a lot...I mean Bob Dylan was kinda birthed from this period and went on to inspire the counterculture of the 1960s...but I do not get Jack Kerouac at all.
Apr 7, 2020It really is a masterpiece.

Why is SRS pretentious??
Apr 7, 2020I've been lowkey thinking of making an experimental album with white noise and silence. I want profit tho so I ain't gonna do it
