God, I hope he's not dead. I think Ricky Gervais is very smart and funny, but Krasinski is a very good director and seems like a lovely guy.

- Unless you knew him personally, he will always be as he always was to you ... words, pictures, sounds and videos.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 4:16 pmGod, I hope he's not dead. I think Ricky Gervais is very smart and funny, but Krasinski is a very good director and seems like a lovely guy.
- So, what's the cause of your sadness, your hope?
- Is the cause, that a dead person, any dead person, will not experience the life you imagine they should have experienced? (In principle, that would make you a colonialist; think about that in terms of how that is true, and not in terms of how it shouldn't be true, or else you won't understand it.)
- What else could the cause of the sadness or hope be, if all you knew of him was words, pictures, sounds and videos?
- Is the sadness because you will no longer be entertained? (The selfishness that implies, could give you pause.)
- Your knowledge of him is from the outside looking in, and your sadness, or hope, is your own, not his.
- If you're of the hopey tribe, and if he was dead, then put it to good use. Hope he's in a better place, as the saying goes.
Damn ... this is the lounge.
I didn't pause to see where I am.
Nevermind.

I do understand that it's the Internet with words on a screen and no tone of voice and body language...Walker wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 10:16 am- Unless you knew him personally, he will always be as he always was to you ... words, pictures, sounds and videos.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 4:16 pmGod, I hope he's not dead.

But man 1) I was joking
2) you really went to town with a bunch of hallucinations and judgments
Re: Ricky Gervais
Good for you, Hypocrite. Answer the questions, if you dare, lest my imagination defines you.you really went to town with a bunch of hallucinations and judgments
Oh, that's right. No philosophy in this thread. You're spared the effort that it must take.

Re: Ricky Gervais
The questions don't apply. I was joking about being sad over Krasinski's (non) death.
Your questions are based on a false assumption.
Your imagination doesn't define me, lol. Follow your own arguments: you just got words on a screen, not even the pictures, videos etc. you mentioned me having of Krasinski who I am not grieving. Just words on a screen and you're not even a good reader of those. But if you want to define me in your own mind as some thing/one and that definition makes you feel good and right, you go ahead and do that.
And post some more of those great quotes from the guru. You're good at that. Good role modeling of effort.
