random access philosophy

[19:36:12] tb: have posted some new bits on twitter.

[19:35:39] ds: I have joined it today.

[19:36:12] teebee: good

[19:36:17] Diess: But, some strange character has included himself/herself as my follower and posted strange messages.

[19:36:28] teebee: that’s normal. 

 [19:36:35] Diess: That is why I keep away from such websites.

[19:36:55] teebee: u have to understand twitter. [19:37:18] teebee: like u have to understand Facebook

[19:37:22] teebee: and LinkedIn.

[19:37:37] teebee: social media is changing the way people communicate.

[19:37:49] teebee: they are also changing the way people are accessing information.

[19:38:09] teebee: in turn, it has the potential to change the way we learn and think of learning.

[19:38:45] teebee: there are techies and product companies who are trying to combine social media and email, you know why?

[19:39:03] Diess: Why?

[19:40:43] teebee: email may be out sometime in the future as a popular means of communication.

[19:41:00] Diess: Hmm [19:41:29]

teebee: text messaging, and instant messaging (connecting to people real-time when online) is taking over. there are people who live on Facebook!

[19:41:54] Diess: Do you?

[19:41:58] teebee: nope.

[19:42:09] Diess: By choice or by lack of time?

[19:42:10] teebee: choice. but i am an aberration.

[19:42:19] Diess: Hmm

[19:42:36] teebee: u see i do not like interacting with people. i like solitude.

[19:43:17] Diess: But you have a dual nature.

[19:43:24] Diess: or character. [19:43:49] teebee: i have two facades, but the underlying nature is solitary

[19:44:19] Diess: That’s complex to understand.

[19:44:31] teebee: everybody has a dual nature. that is what leads to dilemma and bad decision making. or late decision making.

[19:45:20] teebee: two facades is logic. it lets me see both sides of the coin.

[19:46:27] teebee: i can step into both sides of an argument, understand and imbibe the logic and support each side with equal enthusiasm.

[19:46:40] Diess: Ha ha ha!

[19:46:47] teebee: some call it dual nature.

[19:46:56] Diess: Then, for you there is no absolute right/wrong.

[19:47:01] teebee: correct. right and wrong are man-made.

[19:47:24] Diess: Hmm

[19:47:34] teebee: and they are related to social norms of behavior;

[19:48:03] teebee: they are taught and reinforced by lore, legend, myth and religion.

[19:48:14] teebee: implemented by morals, laws, and ethics.

[19:49:04] teebee: and followed by the masses blindly, without any enquiry into their true nature or utility.

[19:49:14] teebee: which is why social reform is so difficult: it is deeply ingrained in culture.

[19:49:28] Diess: Hmm

[19:49:56] teebee: there is no right and wrong in the world. life, death, existence, sin, evil, good … these are all contextual.

[19:50:55] Diess: Hmm

[19:51:44] teebee: the greater the followers and wider the context (universal), the greater is the ‘truth’.

[19:52:08] Diess: Hmm

[19:53:49] teebee: so what do u thnk of right and wrong?

[19:54:08] Diess: It is very difficult for me to accept your point of view.

[19:54:28] teebee: i am asking about your view point. not asking u to counter my view point

[19:55:34] Diess: I will always have an opinion about any matter…
