Hi! =Un.nU=

[bunnyfulwanderer]

I'm new here and I love Dan Browns videos and the tribe so I decided I'd check it out! I'm 20 years old and as much as I wish people would mistake me for Irish I have to admit I'm actually from CA soooo...

my favorite color is yellow

I love rabbits

I'm currently a philosophy major

I adore my Irish heritage...even though I'm a mutt.

I grew being told my great grandfather (who died one year before my birth on the day) was a leprechaun, I like that story, becuase I like to think I'm part fae.

I divine and study "pseudosciences" (astrology, tarot, alchemy. etc)

I have no formal religion as of right now but I am drawn to neopagan ones. I'm currently learning all I can about wicca.

I think ideas can change the world.

Welcome to our tribe!

[Gesh]

Hey there, and welcome to the moon! I think you'll enjoy it here. Ahh, I would adore my Irish heritage too if I had it. I love Ireland! So yeah, enjoy yourself here on the south pole!

[bunnyfulwanderer]

I feel welcome!

[riddler]

People claim I'm Irish just for being ginger..

Also, welcome =)
It does feel odd as newbie to welcome people.

Also, philosophy, nice one.

[Gesh]

Hoorah! =D That's a good thing, that means we've done our job. Glad you feel welcome; there are lots of awesome people on this site, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I'm hoping maybe I can start a project to do something philosophy related for the tribe. I think philosophy is very important. as is storytelling. it's the transference of ideas! and there is nothing so powerful in this world as ideas.

[riddler]

Well, currently, imagination is getting powerfull, aswell as money, and making fun of Twilight, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Those are some things Ideas will have to compete with..

But seriously, philosophy is awesome, do bring some ideas, I might actually join in.

Yes, that is very true. As even Dan said, an idea can change the world. (or at least, I think he said that at one point..) So if you ever have an idea for a project, even a seemingly crazy or ridiculous one, don't be afraid to share it! That's what the PogoTribe is all about.

My highschool drama teacher always said that. it made an impact on me. so yeah I think I may just =Un.nU=

So, what's the main philosophical thing going through your mind lately?

[bunnyfulwanderer]

Well I am currently enrolled in a political philosophy class, we recently spoke of a figure who posed the question is it better for a leader to be loved or feared by their subjects?

personally I agree with the slightly darker figure. taking ethics out of the equation fear leads better then them liking you. people are fickle and after a while they'll just ask "what have they done for me lately" but fear is a motivator.

but loved and feared is the best possible scenario. After all what makes an effective leader isn't necessarily something that I personally could sleep at night with.

[Gesh]

Hmm, that is a very interesting topic. Personally, I would rather be loved. Because if you are loved, then the subjects will be more willing to do what you want, and they would even stick up for you and do things for you that you may have not even asked for. They'll follow you with a sense of pride, and that would make for a much more powerful "army" than one who fears its leader.

All the same, we probably should avoid turning this thread into a debate, because that's what the Debate Club is for. x|

that's true too. I'm glad you made that point. I should be more optimistic.

anyway. feel free to take this to the debate section

[Gesh]

I just did, as a matter of fact.

[bunnyfulwanderer]

and I saw. thank you

[Gesh]

No problem. Of course, never be shy to post your own projects or debates.

[bunnyfulwanderer]

I wont. hm... I have some ideas but I fear they're too fragmented atm...mrph

[Gesh]

Ah, but even that's worth a shot. You can easily just post what you think of those ideas (even if they're only fragments), and maybe other people on the forum can help you figure out where you want to go with it!

[Johncoyne]

Meh, just post them up there anyway. At least half of my posts are fragmented.

Chocolate.

Watermelon.

Ambulance.

Trees.

Waterfalls.
