My take on the reality question

Reality as a cultural construct. Is there an objective reality? is it all subjective? I try to answer my own question on whether YouTube produces reality...and FAIL to watch the time. my bad.

I am part of a team of researchers doing an ethnography of YouTube culture for a class at Kansas State University taught by Dr. Michael Wesch (mwesch). We are creating a video documentary of YouTube that will be posted to YouTube at the conclusion of our research. We will also be writing papers and giving conference presentations on this research. To see our work in progress, visit our blog at http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg. If you have any questions or concerns you may contact Dr. Michael Wesch at mike.wesch@gmail.com or Dr. Rick Scheidt, Chair, Committee on Research Involving Human Subjects, 203 Fairchild Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, (785) 532-3224.

Hey Joey. perhaps it SHOULD. but its "just a shirt". until someone comes up with that band/artist. :)

you asked about authenticity in our first blogs. I submit my first blog for examination into such matters. :-)

[thepoasm]

Awesome, expect more thorough comment on the weekend. but its entertaining to look at first vlogs. not entertaining like "look at how ridiculous i was" but just the various interactions with the medium..

[StevenErnest]

Your subjective talk ran into objective time limit.

[thepoasm]

i know i know. the terrible irony of that. objectivity won.

this sounds like just static on my computer. but i really want to hear it!

Okay, so I sat and tried to fold my legs into lotus position. But my hip popped out of its socket! Damn! It hurt like HELL! So I began moaning and groaning, but the other meditators around me thought I was chanting my mantra so they ignored me.  Since I was already folded into the lotus position, I farted this rotten eggs scented bomb that wafted around the room. NOW they began paying attention to me. So then I just shit my pants, hoping that they'd call an ambulance...

sorry no volume on this machine. 'truth/reality is subjective'? 'infinity is at 90 degrees to your concentration'? -- this last, tip: xy=a constant.

she probably added the effect through youtube's sound replacement tool. Do you not believe what you once said? Has something changed? Or are my assumptions wrong, and youtube's broken?

[MichaelSLify]
