People under the age of eight are, on an individual basis, consistently more enjoyable to hang out with than the eight+ crowd, but this phenomenon quickly falls apart once you have any kind of a group going.

You're a pretty creppy dude.

a dedication to one's own integrity

I'm not sure this is quite so great of a personal quality, Mr Cards...
Integrity should be gritty, or second nature...not something one is continually mindful of...The best dedication is to others, not your own needs.

Have you read le Misanthrope? Surely you have...AH but have you read Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme?

Also, have you read it: Ennui'd?

High intelligence is a vastly overrated personal attribute compared to things like kindness, humility, self-knowledge and a dedication to one's own integrity.

Absolutely stone-cold truth.

Anacardo, you are my favourite guy here. I've missed your posts recently, and hope you are well.

[/ QUOTE ]I dont think this is an unpopular position and I think it is the norm.

However, I would much prefer to be around wickedly smart people who have a bit of evil in them than to be around very nice people with average intelligence. I simply need the stimulation and I go nuts without it.

1. The meat and dairy industries are immoral, and boycotting them is the only morally consistent way (for me) to live.

2. Old timers vastly overrate some movies that just don't hold up very well, like Blade Runner and Blazing Saddles.

3. Young folks vastly overrate some music that just really isn't that great, like the Arcade Fire and Sufjan Stevens.

4. Lateralus is on par with Aenima, and is better in some ways.

5. Getting all "ROFL she has fat thighs" over legitimately attractive girls with natural flaws is a sign of a jackass. The kicker: Getting all "OMG she so hawt" over photoshopped and heavily air-brushed girls is a sign of the same brand of jackass.

6. Having a refined taste for food/alcohol/books/movies/etc. does not, in fact, make you better than anyone else. Judging people based on these tastes does, in fact, make you a jackass.

7. I really can't get into Radiohead.

8. Buying into popular ideas and touting popular material simply because they're popular makes you a fish. Unfortunately, mindlessly joining in the backlash against popular ideas and products just makes you a jackass. In short, agreeing or disagreeing with something without actually thinking about it is unacceptably stupid.

9. Family Guy is overall better than South Park (although SP's highs are higher). American Dad is a great show. I'm not a huge Futurama fan but I've only seen the few episodes they keep replaying on Adult Swim so I can't pass judgement. Sealab 2021 is the best Adult Swim show ever, followed by Venture Bros.

10. Women are people.

Unpopular view on OOT, not for most of the civilized world.

Good post Phoenix, I agree with all except 1 and 4; meat is delicious and Tool blows.

I have no idea what you're talking about, and I wonder if you do. OOT is the frame of reference in the OP.
