Well I read a little of the history of it. I saw how it had a
promising beginning. Was extraordinarily successful for a time
and influenced MANY great thinkers of the 50s/60s who wrote
fictions and nonfictions alike that were directly influenced by
GS... whose writings THEN influenced *other* people who were
influencers as well.
It's become part of everyday language. Part of our culture. It's
a success.
It's akin to how the hippies in the late 60s/early 70s started
doing guerilla theoretical physics because people STOPPED asking
the interesting questions and were instead focused on the
engineering aspects of QM.
But it's because of them the field started up again, eventually
leading to massive amounts of speculative research in QM.
There's a great video about that somewhere online; pretty
awesome to see how influences happen.
Anyway, I'll keep digging. I've always been "that guy" who says,
"I'M AN ORIGINAL"... just.. .like many people do. I won't stop
being 'that' guy' but I want to -also- be able to say:
"I'm Kenneth Udut. I take a sociolinguisticculturalhistorical
viewpoint focusing on the issue at hand and will utilize
analogies for an attempt at clarity and comprehension of my
perspective. My bias is that i am a fan of embodied cognition
rather than a "brain in vats" view of the self."
Now, I can say that. It's true. But, I'm going deeper still.
That's as far as I've gotten pretty much.
