| kellychaos | "I" is everything that is not "them". | |

If there is no, "I" then how is there a concept of, "I". How come everytime I say I, you correlate with, "Kahl"(or moron, or whatever it may be, you can still make that distinction). Even if from a blinded perceptional view, my voice still echoes from the corner by the television. "I" may be an illusion, but for some reason plenty of people seem to subscribe to that illusion. That gives it a reality, even only if based in the insanity of unified thought. THere is also the issue of personal responsibility. You know what you have done, and have not done(and what you should do). Just like those around you do, regardless of if what you have done and have not done were just illusions created that morning when you woke up, like in Dark City. All people still make the associations... In effect, it doesn't really matter if there is an "I" or not, because you will still be held liable for you, and here on this wavelength of reality there is a very real illusion of you and I. And of course, outside of all that, there is no I, but outside of that is somewhere we cannot see-- at this moment. |

I am a lump of carbon whose shape and attitude has been deterministicaly shaped by outside forces and causes and, as such, have never had a will of my own and have never really been an "I"... apparently.

| derrida | I say that my personality is a conversation about conversations about conversations about myself in a language that belongs partly to me and partly to my social milieu. | |

Yeah, this one friend I have is obsessed with the matrix. He gets drunk and says all this fucked up theories and stuff for hours. "Dude, I'm going to go to school next week and punch the principal in the face AND HE'LL THINK IT HURTS and emotions aren't even real ramble ramble ramble ramble"

| The One and Only... | Because they stand for everything they used to hate. In another era, Paris was the center of the Enlightenment. Now it's the center for the expansion of European socialism. | |

| Suck 'n' Fuck | Why do you hate them so? Seriously. | |

I'm a homo sapien with blonde hair and blue eyes; about 5'8" tall and 170 lbs. And my name's Brandon. Seriously, I don't really believe in a unified "self," at least not in the sense that it's something inside of me. It's basically a collection of learned behaviors, instincts, other biological determinants, and unconscious and conscious thought processes. |
