Th...I definily think that people find apathy cool. This creates two categories, though: those who REALLY don't care and those who actually do care. It all goes to independence. Don't you think that those who are TRULY apathetic and cool don't even care that people think about them? Those who want people to think about them aren't completely apathetic?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551631107760892914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847686301974739121.post-16139533283272411012009-04-01T06:26:00.000-07:002009-04-01T06:26:00.000-07:00Ah, fantastic! Striking at the root of it all. P...Ah, fantastic! Striking at the root of it all. Push this line of thinking further: do you think vanity is a root of all cool? Whether it's being cool because you got the highest score on Donkey Kong (a la King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters) or because you play a style of music people enjoy and have a weird haircut, there seems to be a stigma of vanity attached to being cool.<BR/><BR/>Is this a given? Is vanity a part of all cool? If it is a given, why have we accepted such an unattractive trait as being something we can look to, sigh, and say, "I wish *I* could be her?" If it's not a part of all cool, what sets the "non-vain" apart from the rest?<BR/><BR/>I encourage to explore these questions in your next few blog entries.

Isn't that the same principle that celebrities seem to live by? "No publicity is bad publicity." It doesn't matter what the headlines say as long as your name is getting out to the public.HayleyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505373067006185212noreply@blogger.com
