Is the dick heart the bit on the end? We call that the Herman Gelmet, but I guess it could look sort of like a heart if one were inclined to draw it that way on a tattoo.

KK reminds me of Don Quixote. He reads romantic novels about being a fair and just person, creates an imaginary world in which to perform his noble deeds, fucks it all up in real life, and believes that people are praising him when they actually want o lock him up for being such and idiot.

Is it just me or is the term "noble savage" kind of...derogatory? Like "magical negro"?

It almost reminds me of in "Take Up the White Man's Burden", when the nonEuropean people are described as "sullen" and "half devil and half child".

not really similar at all its basically an anarchist/optimistic idea that if there were no society man would be perfect. Or, that society is what creates bad and evil people.

KK makes wordy and obliquely offensive statements.

General argument, laughter and derision from the masses.

KK whines and says he's going away.

There is much rejoicing.

I get it. Just seems a little rude the way it's put. That's probably just me though.

The notion of the noble savage is just horseshit. Anyone who believes it should spend a year among the Yanomano or the Korowai and see how "noble" their behavior is from our point of view.

I can say this with a certain amount of authority because I just got accepted into graduate school to get a master's in anthropology. BOOYAH! :smug

tribes are a type of society, as such the argument could be made that they corrupt human beings.

But yea, usually people bring that type of stuff up to refute it.

Precisely. Just because a society may not be technologically advanced doesn't mean that they are as socially complex as our own.

da hood has started to streamline things. There is now only 1 word for "to be" which is "is". Are and am are obsolete.

That's why the term "noble savage" bothered me. It seemed to imply that people who lived in tribes or "uncivilized" places were inferior. Europeans thought that the native Africans were "savages", but the Africans were the ones who were smelting iron and enjoying a good standard of living while Europe rotted from the Black Plague.

I assume it was physical anthropology, which I'm not to crazy about either, for the record. My area is cultural anthropology, which is a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Yes it is. Right now we're studying the physical characteristics of monkeys. Joy.

Cultural does sound more fun, but physical was what fulfilled the requirement, so it is what I must take. Woot.

It sucks, doesn't it?

Did your class have to learn how to label the parts of a lemur's tooth?

We had to learn about parts of molars.

We're learning about Hominidae (humans and apes) right now. I'm working on a one or two page summary of notes for them (not so bad actually).
