Ok, I agree with you for the most part. I also hate people who use
pseudoo intellectual talk, and for the most part real intellectual talk.
Because for the most part they are not using it to help clarify or increase
understanding, it has become more of an intellectual snobbery than anything.
They are just using a slang language to separate themselves from the masses,
and in many cases boost their stepped on egos. It's like wearing a sign
saying hey look at me I'm smart and your not! When the truth is anyone could
learn their slang if they hang around long enough, just like you pick up
other sub-cultures slang if you hang around them long enough. What I don't
understand is why any truly intellectual person would want to go around
talking with their brain up their ass, because if they were a true intellect
they would be able to convey their knowledge clearly and effectively to a
crowd of any IQ.
But what disturbs me is the part of your message I left above. I don't
see how anyone can take music too seriously, or any passion for that matter.
Where would we be if we told Dali, Michaelangelo, or R Crumb that they took
painting to Seriously. What would music be like if we told Mozart, Miles
Davis, or Biafra that they took music to seriously. And what if Einstien,
Newton or Steeve Case got a notion in there head that they were taking
science to seriously, or even what would the state of philosophy be if we
told Buddha that he took meditation to seriously. Anyway my point is great
things are born from great passions.
Roach peace
ps. on a side note DJ shadow is another one of those that talks to much of
that intellectual mumbo jumbo.
