Stumblism

All right. What happens if you start surfing on the net clicking randomly and wildly. Hmm. You might get an answer from God.

This is what happened to me tonight.

Let me explain.

I have this link listed at my site: Urban Legends – it’s somewhere in the end of the iRead list if you look at the left column in the right. Right? I don’t even remember why I added it, I might find it amusing. I clicked on it without any purpose this evening and started looking around. Soon I moved on to the category called: Culture. Very unpredictable, huh? And THERE there is an article about The French Celebphilosopher who cited a Fictional Philosopher (Bernard-Henri Lévy). Following?

There is one comment with two references. The first one is a book, can  be bought. The second one is a link to a site: the Postmodernism Generator. Basicly a text generator which uses post-modern essays mixed up and it generates pretty funny texts, not less funny than any original post-modern essay – or how to explain, that’s the point, to compile from random sources and try to make sense out of it. :-D

That I would already call a good laugh, but I went ahead since I was curious who this guy was. Average story. Or not? Just right under “About me” there is the “Buy me something” button. Well, you can try it, don’t have to BUY it, right? Ended up here: Amazon Wishlist. And now clean your googles! What is the first title on his list?

Ship of Fools Tarot by  Brian Williams.

Now you can laugh, as I did!

Conclusion: people who amuse themselves with reading about hoaxes and/or post-modern are interested in the meaning behind, symbols, symbolism…Let’s call it stumblism from today! not the first time I get “an answer” random. Maybe even from (the internet) God. Or simply post-modern means Tarot.

    Oh Dear,

    so You were there … the Bulhak’s site.
    Yes, it makes you laugh, me too.
    Have you read the essay on the hidden philosophy of the theory of relativity?
