[QUOTE="lobster45, post: 10210, member: 2339"] It's interesting how we now live in a world where the story of what something is--or myth or narrative or feedback loop, whatever you wanna call it--is almost more powerful than the thing itself. That's something DeBord and Baudrillard and Nietzsche and Marx and even Plato and all the rest of those guys talked about, but it's strikes me even as a little funny because in critiquing the story of history they found themselves in, they became influential, in some way or another, parts of it. If you think about, Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, Socrates' recollection, or the Hindu concept of reincarnation, or even the modern idea of the feedback loop, all are pretty accurate in an observable sense. Human history does kind of repeat itself--the faces and the places change, but the people and the stories don't. It's kind of sad and beautiful in a miraculous sort of way. [/QUOTE]
