The Dot and the Line
Posted by overmanwarrior 10 years, 3 months ago to Philosophy
There comes many times over any given year where I find myself in a situation that in order to explain a basic elementary ideal to someone who requires a vast background education just to grapple with the topic at hand, I have to find some way to show them a proper metaphor to bring them up to speed. They do not have the foundation understanding to build anything of merit conversation wise–when they ask a question, or series of questions just to understand the answer given to them. Sadly, modern culture has failed to deliver those foundations to the last couple of generations. There is a part of me that feels sorry for those people, but not to the extent where I am willing to sacrifice my own happiness to quell their suffering. The reason is logic and a foundation belief system that is rooted in another time when the world made a lot more sense. It wasn’t however that long ago, but just long enough for modern society to completely revert to the animal mindset of a scribble.
I feel fortunate to have grown up in a time when one of my favorite cartoons was called The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics which played continuously on the Looney Tunes half hour afternoon lineup every day after school. It was my favorite cartoon as a young kid which came out in 1965 and was directed by my favorite animator, Chuck Jones. I watched his cartoons as a child and read his book as a young man in my twenties and soaked up every word. That particular cartoon was a masterpiece and a needed lesson for every young male looking for love. Watch that classic cartoon below before continuing:

The so-called Leaders in our society must have someone to lead; the Tyrant must have someone to tyrannize. The best they can do is attempt to undermine the importance of education, which is certainly our greatest weapon against their assault.
To play operatic background music to parodies of The Barber of Seville and such was unique and creative.
A libtard is a squiggle! Nyah! Hyah!
It seems like many young girls are attracted to bad boys--probably out of rebellion to vicarious parental control--or as you say a belief that they can change them. If she gets through it without getting pregnant, she finally sees the light and dumps him. Otherwise she may marry the guy and end up raising a child as a single mother when he leaves her.
Its also true that a young guy with low self-esteem (not infrequent in teen-agers) may be driven to excel to impress a girl. Unfortunately for the girl, he then may find that he has out grown her.
Thank you for posting, I may delve into this further. I just wonder how I missed it all these years. Maybe it has something to do with not learning as much when as we get older, as our minds get more scrambled..
