  1. If I don't know who you are, I can't adequately judge anything you write.
  2. People make money gaslighting people.
  3. Speaking is a creation.
  4. Everything important is happening right now.
  5. Speaking is often a discourse about something not an experience of something.
  6. Delicious and instructive too.
  7. Everyone is at a different stage of development.
  8. There is definitely politics involved in any social relation.
  9. I watch movies in the theater on a regular basis, and I can attest that film making has not died. There are still great movies being made today. I list those in the film thread.
  10. A lot of philosophy is designed to get you distrust your thinking.
  11. I think there is a difference between a prejudgment and a post-judgment when it comes to experiencing an artwork. I'm more interested in my post-judgment than anyone's prejudgment in an artform that I know something about.
  12. I have friends that pick movies for me to see, so I never have to worry about this stuff. I just watch and make up my own mind. I don't want to be prejudged when experiencing art.
  13. I don't buy this at all. You're resorting to what other people think instead of just experiencing the artwork and making up your mind. It is a prejudgment.
  14. People want to listen to critics and narratives instead of actually experiencing artworks in themselves. I never look at movie reviews or even want to know what it is about before I watch one.
