Wow! Just like in Omega Man. Ever seen it? It's got everything. The future (gone bad of course), crazy zombie people, convertibles with 8 track tape decks, and of course, the best of the best - Charlton Heston.
i'm all about crazy zombie people. but i don't need to go to a movie to see them.
i prefer to call them pod people.
"best of the best: charlton heston."
oh, yummy!
Well, if you are looking for a good dystopia movie, Omega Man would be a contenda.
So is this a random stranger who was already posing or did you ask him to pose?
Omega Man sounds perfect. Dystopia. Heston. It's all good.
The dude.
I saw this guy walking around.
I walked up to him and said something like this: "Excuse me. I love to take pictures, all sorts of random pictures. I don't work for anyone, it's just a hobby. but i've noticed that you are extremely striking and i'd love to get you to pose for me. i know you'll never see this picture, and we'll never meet again...this sounds weird, doesn't it?"
His response: "Okay. Sure."
Me: "if i could just have you stand here. no, if you could pose. i dunno. maybe put your arms out. great."
i took one shot, let him see it, and we parted.
it's not a great picture of him. he was very tall, very composed, quite the looker. very striking guy.
This poor man. This poor, beautiful man. You despot, you. You completely tyrannized over this man for your own personal pleasure. Please convince me, somehow, that it was for his own benefit.
Or perhaps his exploitation is for all of us...hmmm.
i suppose i don't understand your comment.
i was under the impression that being tyrannized by me was its own reward. for him. for me. for everyone.
no good?
An American Politics Professor who teaches that republicanism is the best form of government. Yet this said professor somehow believes that his own tyranny is best for all of humanity.
Didn't we just have a discussion about cognitive dissonance?
Yet, I must admit, I have benefited immensely from your tyranny.
again, what's your point, jonbon???
so what that i teach about republicanism?? i mean, lookie here: is the scientist who teaches evolution a PRIMATE???!!!
Okay, technically he is. Humans are primates. but he's not a fungus, and biologists are obsessed with fungi.
so here's the dealio, jh. i promote republicanism as a compromise, not as an ideal. just like i promote capitalism as a compromise. it would be better if all people worked for me. mostly, well, posing for my photographs. just as my tyranny is ideal.
so, no, i don't see any cognitive disonnance.
so before you accuse me of that, look in a mirror.
preferably a fun house mirror. perferably one that's all distorted-like and with lots of reflections. you know, the kind of mirror that makes you feel dreadfully disonant. yeah, look in that kind of mirror.
btw, if you do happen to go to a fun house to look at your cognitve dissonance (how many ways can i spell that word?!) let me know and i'll take pics of you.
oh, and you'll pose just as i tell you.
Oh to know this about you when I was an 18 year old kid sitting in GOV 211.
Done and nicely done.
