Apathy means lack of interest - to be selective means to have some level of interest. I see where you're coming from with this but I think that is an exaggeration to say selective apathy would be an oxymoron and that it's anything more than decisively choosing what you no longer care about at all. Selective can imply that you have interest but I don't think that interest is necessarily a cornerstone to the word selection. It's just a smart choice that could be void of human characteristics in this context I think. I could probably do better explaining my points but you get what I mean.

lumpenprol Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Just watched the video, the idea is kind of "well, duh!" I thought, but the animation is fantastic!

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/60268-mega-turbo-uber-smart-hippy-stuff/page/2/#findComment-1431052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 "well, duh!" maybe but... the competency in which Rifkin communicates his opinions on humanity is amazing to me. He is a good writer as well. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/60268-mega-turbo-uber-smart-hippy-stuff/page/2/#findComment-1431058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 true, agreed. The main idea seems to be the connection between means of communication and empathy with others, which I 100% agree and you can see happening around us. The biological stuff seems a bit unnecessary to bring into it. The idea that we might find some untapped facet of the human animal at this point in time (short of actual gene manipulation) seems a bit forced. The whole empathy part actually sounds pretty Rousseau-ian. I think the bottom line is true though, the internet will be a significant component of helping us view humanity as one whole, along with the general worsening of our overall situation over time, and increases in our understanding of how the natural environment works (pollution and how to solve it). Will we ever get to the point where we can share energy like we share info on the internet? Hope so.
