A Series of Thought Provoking Questions

05-14-2006, 09:20 PM

Chad, who is Beast Toast owner says explains that The Beast Toast campaign can be explained as an experiment in Phenomenology. The first aim of Phenomenology is to reawaken a sense of wonder about one's enviroment. The Beast Toast campaign attempts to stimulate curiousity and bring people to question both the campaign and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious, frquent and novel encounters with Beast Toast propaganda provoke thought and possible frustration, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer's perception and attention to detail.

At first i still didn't get it. the word Phenomenology, it sounds like the study of that commercial that shows that there is monsters that live in your toenails. but i used Wikipedia.com and they explain further that "Phenomenology is an approach to philosophy that takes the intuitive experience of phenomena (what presents itself to us in conscious experience) as its starting point and tries to extract from it the essential features of experiences and the essence of what we experience."

So basically (in my interpretation) Phenomenology is the study of thought, thought provoking questions, life, philosophy, drives and urges ect.

Well ive been looking on this website. seen the fun games, (got a high score on one)
and taken a look at some of the posts. I do agree this website is a blessing to have especcially to young boys and girls. Because now that we have a political, social, and economical conciousness we can use that to drive in a new era of peace and understanding throughout all centers in information. So i say we all thank Chad for giving us this opportunity to express our Phenomenology.

So ive decided to express my own Phenomenology and ask 2thought provokings questions and thought.

What is the True meaning of life?
hmmm.. in my opinion the meaning of life is what you make it. A mother would say that the true meaning of life is caring for one another nuturing it until it grows, and a buissiness man wouldn't state (but would be thinking) that the true meaning of life is expanding ones horizons, and ones empire.
As for me my personal meaning of life is to help people, by going into politics and changing the world we love so much.

Human Sexuality?
This is a very dangerous subject but i will try my best to not open my opinions till later.
According to wikipedia:
Human sexuality, besides ensuring biological reproduction, has important social functions: it creates physical intimacy, bonds and hierarchies among individuals; may be directed to spiritual transcendence; and in a hedonistic sense to the enjoyment of activity involving sexual gratification. Sexual desire, or libido, is experienced as a bodily urge, often accompanied by strong emotions, both positive (such as love or ecstasy) and negative (such as jealousy).As with other human self-descriptions, humans propose that it is high intelligence and complex societies of humans that have produced the most complex sexual behaviors of any animal, including a great many behaviors that are not directly connected with reproduction.Human sexual choices are usually made in reference to cultural norms, which vary widely.
Restrictions are largely determined by religious beliefs. Most sexologists, starting with the pioneers Sigmund Freud and Alfred Kinsey, believe that the majority of homo sapiens are attracted to males and females, being inherently bisexual. This belief is based upon the human species close relatives' sexual habits such as the bonobo, and historical records.
My personal belief is that people can be bisexual, homosexual, or heterosexual as long as they have a commited relationship, a positive relationship based off of love and extasy, and not by jealousy and deception.
I have probally bored everyone who has read this (assuming for the fact people read these) but please email me with your thoughts or reply this post on your thoughts of the meaning of life, human sexuality, and Phenomenology
and I will leave you with a saying i heard somewhere
"You don't have to be a great man you just have to be a man, let the gods concern about your greatness"

My thoughts on Phenomenolgy: The search for Truth. Questioning reality and existence. Finding the answers even if they only make sense to you.

Human Sexuality: I'm agreeing with Freud here. I think everyone is inherently bisexual, but depending on thier environment growing up, it may or may not show.

The meaning of Life: All we have is this moment. To this very second everything else is history. So my suggestion is to love everyone, even your enemies, do in your heart what you believe is right, and find your own way to God, because nobody can do it for you.
