The topic of today's thread is:
What's happening with these "reaction videos" online? Are our own experiences so thin, scattered and inauthentic that we must turn to videos of other people "reacting" to the new Star Wars trailer in order to vicariously enjoy their responses? Why are we unable to feel present in and value our own experiences as they occur? What is eluding us here, what is slipping from our grasp? Is technology to blame?
As usual, be spirited and forthright your discussion, but remember the eight "G"s:
Generosity
Genuine Curiosity
Gregariousness
Golden rule-compliant
Gentility
Graciousness
Grandmother-safe
Goes-around-comes-around
A useful mnemonic to remember these by is " God's Grandmother Gertrude Gave Gay Gandalf Great Golfing Gloves"
Comments not adhering to the eight G's will be moderated.
If your idea is unoriginal, be sure to provide proper references. YES WE DO CHECK and YES WE WILL CATCH YOU.
