  • I'm trying to give you a fair shake here; in your sidebar to a response to me you say this is one of your videos in which you present original ideas... I may just be a bit slow today, but what was one of those original ideas? Some of us are different ages from others, but yet, some of us are the same age as others? help me out here, might be above my head....

  • I guess the point is that we common break people in to groups and categories of identity that stress the division and the difference but we all are the community of the aging. Age seems like it's in the world but it is a relations. It is a position that is not chosen and one that we all share. It could be a rally point of common ground.

  • We're all getting older, so we all shoud be nice to each other?

  • Recognize our common plight despite apparent differences. and yeah nice might be good too.

  • Always a good idea, but i'm still kinda scratching my head as to the originalilty thereof.

  • How do you think people define community?

  • the flip side of knowing that death is our ultimate fate is that we also have the ability to postpone it indefinitely.

    both abilities come from the same brain, in fact they're the same ability, the ability to project in abstraction

    and so we retain our prelapsarian innocence of death

    PS the difference between innocence and ignorance is that ignorance is willful innocence.

    ignore-ance geddit ? ; )

    thas why ignorance is no plea before the law,

    but innocence IS.

    so willful ignorance=tautology

  • Are you asking "what is the definition of community" or "on what basis do people typically form communities" or something different?

  • Try dating a 19-year-old and you'll find that age is as exclusionary of a discrimination as any other we make :-)

  • When I was younger I was much older than I'm now.
