What if you had two experiences and did not compare them?
« on: August 29, 2003, 07:16:50 PM »
On the one hand I am being my usual fatuous self, snidely expressing contempt for the hilarious number of this v. that threads on page one today.

On the other hand, my philosophy studies are a blur and I am sincerely curious.

Surely humanoids would have died out long ago without the ability to discern and prioritize. But why does this reptilian urge persist with regards to trivial matters?

Michael,

Tha answer is simple and was explained by Errol Flynn many years ago. He was asked, "What was the worst piece of a**
you ever had." His immediate response was, "Fantastic."

Because it is scary to think that what we have always believed is not the truth.

Fear, it's about fear.  

Fear of failure.  Fear of humiliation.  Fear of being labelled a fraud.  Fear of being disengenous.  Fear of not being the best.  Fear of not being respected.  Fear of not being heard.  Fear of not being believed.

Bob Huntley,

Most on this site are too young to remember Errol Flynn and his lifestyle.

Most don't know the genesis of the statement,
"In like Flynn"

Off the top of my head, I can't remember the name of his boat, perhaps your recall is better.

He was certainly a unique individual, and was far ahead of his time and rock stars in the partying arena.

Pat, I bleive the name of the boat was the Voador, and the term "In Like Flynn" had its christening after he had been found innocent of child molestation with two young girls ont hat boat correct?

Of course, knowing this is the benefit of growing up near tinsletown.

Flynn was a lover of boats and an owner of many of them, and Bob, you maybe correct. I'm sure Scott Burroughs will know too.

I don't know how he managed it, but Flynn's attorney at his statutory-rape trial, in 1943, arranged to have an all-female jury!

"Not guilty!" they sighed.
