has mankind lost its originality?

Why? So you can bash more?

How about you reread the first post and comment on what was included. My post was based on subjective creations, movies, music, etc, not technology. If you want, we can turn this into a pissing contest, or discuss the topic of what I intentionally posted.

For what it's worth, your original post wasn't specifically about subjective creations, it was about man running out of new ideas and creativity, and you only used subjective creations as examples.

My bad, I expected people would understand the subject by seeing the examples given.

But is the subject not creativity and originality? Did you mean to say, "have creators of modern art, music, dance...etc lost their creativity?"?

Haha oh I usually am an asshole in some way or another on this site. Were all different here than in person. I probably do need to work on my wording. But I still think a lot gets mis read

You do constantly come off as a pompous asshole. No need to be. Nobody really listens to your advice because you just seem like a snob that only gives a shit about himself.

Anyway, I was feeling old the other day as I was thinking how all new cars look alike except the few that look just like they did 40+ years ago.


But J&B used to run ads years ago about how life is cyclic and how what once was will be again. So may as well keep drinking J&B. LOL

You asked broad, all-encompassing questions, and you got broad, all-encompassing answers. If you want better answers, ask better questions.

Which is perfectly fine with me...stupid people typically follow poor advice anyway

So why not go and find another site that has people on it that match your intelligence? Quit slumming.

Which cars look just like they did 40 years ago?

Just so I can positively contribute to this thread, I think that a lot of the problem of creativity lies in the facts that:

A: the world is a lot smaller today, we can see what's going on in other countries in a matter of seconds, there are no big reveals anymore like at science fairs or in publications.

B: People are getting lazy, since they can see any major discovery in a matter of seconds it is easier to mooch off of that discovery and try to improve on it, instead of being original.

Plus, in America with our entitlement atitude we'd rather use someone elses shit and claim it our own than to create something new and innovative (not everyone, but the increasing majority of people would)

C: Those fucking hipsters.

Because I love DFWM...it's accepting of all...or maybe I should say rejecting?

We hate everyone equally, we are neither racist nor tollerant, we don't hate, but we can't love. No one is above the ass whipping, as illustrated with the patsymelt threads.

Haha actually, I am a member on some engineering forums. However I am not a dick there. No one is usually. They are also no fun...
