--- Quote from: Froderik on September 23, 2014, 09:40:14 PM ---How much longer will we sit here twiddling our thumbs, waiting for the "Facebook crowd" to check in here? I'm not on Facebook right now, so I don't know if anyone on there cares. Facebook is a circle-jerk of approval and status. Is Fornits doomed to obscurity in the face of facebook? Does anybody 'LIKE' the idea of revitalizing this site besides the few who have put forth recent efforts?

My hope is that we can simply restore the conversation as it was taking place here on fornits, some years back. I am not too impressed with the dialogue on Fb, which is full of unoriginal ideas, memes, other shallow bullshit and is essentially a submissive-authroitarian wet dream. I'm not twiddlin my thumbs waiting to turn fornits into Fb. Fornits is better because I think a certain level of anonymity, helps keep the conversation honest, or closer to it anyway, and yet there can also be continuity in conversation, as long as there is a user name to identify fornits posters with.

Right.. this medium can't really become that; it's just a regular old forum... I wouldn't want to try to ~drag everybody here, or anything.. let them find it for themselves, for the most part..but there are a few people I wish were posting here who posted in the old days.. forum veterans.. like on that other thread..

I think we have to have some patience Froderik. I am just inviting the ol hardcores back, personally, one at a time.

Dragonfly... It's good to have awareness, but without some discretion it's not worth much by itself. I sometimes think you are your own worst enemy, over obsessing on the details and wondering where your life went, all the while shooing it away your own self. You're one 'a' my truly great friends in this life and I have tons and tons of respect and love for you, but sometimes you just gotta shake it off. There is a difference between being programmed and living. I don't think that the program is as old as Life itself. I think the program is as old as civilization. You have to make certain compromises in the civilized world, if you want to have the things that you need to live. That doesn't mean you have to surrender your intentional consciousness though...

It sounds like the source of art to me, but I reckon there was art long before the people were civilized too.
