ICP sucks. I used to like some old stuff by twizted or maybe a song or two by icp because it was kinda catchy but now I seriously think that shit is lame. I’ve seen so many fucked up “hatchetman” garage tattoos it’s stupid. I saw a darklotus concert one time and it was kinda fun because of the mosh pits. They’re not even rapping, just talking to the beat. Maybe some rap in the older stuff… from like 10 years ago…
Haha. I knew it wouldn’t take long before this shit made it over from 4chan and devolved into a discussion of, “GOD! AAHHHH!”, “SCIENCE! RAHHH!”

I actually poked a little fun at the “god did it” folks if you’re referring to me.

I don’t think anyone said that it was ignorant (in a social context), but ignorant from a standpoint of anti-intellectualism, which from my understanding is the recent movement amongst many to disregard intelligence and science in favor for an ‘ignorance is bliss’ attitude.
Not cool in my books.

That is what I was referring to. I don’t see it as anti-intellectual. [/quote]
I mainly saw it as anti-intellectualism since they attributed everything to ‘miracles’ and ‘magic’ yet there was no mention of religion; that and they made a pass at scientists since ‘they motherfuckers lying, making me pissed’. (Quoted)
What is left to explain phenomena, if religion and science are not options? The only option left is not giving a shit really.
It just makes me sad to think that hundreds of thousands of people think this garbage is cool.

You felt it was really worth pointing out that a Cracked article didn’t do a good job of explaining natural phenomena?
Now THIS is fucking ignorant.
The best part is these 2 douces made over $10million last year.

LOl now that I’ve watched it twice, it’s not that bad. Just a shitty ass rap song on the same level as all the other shitty rap songs.

How is saying magic any different that saying “invisible force”.
I did miss them calling scientist liars though.

No, it isn’t. Science has its limitations. It can only be used to describe an occurrence, not understand it. I’m talking about the difference between calculating the gravitational constant and asking why masses attract one another. “Why” is not even a question you can scientifically ask, much less answer.
Stephen Hawking puts it a little better than I can:
“Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?”
But please explain to me how this is ignorant. You made no argument whatsoever in you last post. Name calling is actually ignorant.
people are taking this way too seriously. let’s remember that this is an icp song. nothing they do should be taken seriously.

I’m inclined to agree. I’d never actually heard of them before this thread and I was probably better off.
People are taking this way too serious from both ends.

Ironically, its obvious by their “song” they have no idea what music is.
