Nothing Is Original Anymore... So Steal From Everywhere ...ð

Nothing Is Original Anymore... So Steal From Everywhere ...ð We live in a society of lazy, unimaginative, 'pretend' content providers. They've seeped into all the tiny cracks of social media, movies, music, pictures and few - have anything original to say. Does that mean it's all been said? These free range plagiarists, copy and paste across all levels of society and happily ply their craft with impunity - and claim something as their own - while everyone around them, ignorantly applauds (the rebranded stuff they spew)... and pats them on the back. People are too ignorant, lazy and indifferent to really give a shit. And heck... does THAT - thought, picture, song, poem or story - really... 'look' all THAT similar to the original? Most people don't even care, if an original exists ; they're too busy clapping, to notice. I've clapped once or twice. I guess I'm guilty as well. Here's what someone else thought about this topic. It was nicely stated. I wanted to steal it but instead, I give him credit at the end. ................................ "Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And donât bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: âItâs not where you take things from - itâs where you take them to." Jim Jarmusch... [MovieMaker Magazine #53 - Winter, January 22, 2004] ......................................... 'It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to' ; Now THERE'S an original thought. .........................................

Y'all ain't finding much on most dot coms. And you've got to really, really hunt for it - in order to find it anywhere else. Books... now there must be something original still being printed somewhere, isn't there? Don't get me started on music... And what about movie remakes? Ooops... THERE'S a good one for ya. ð·ð·ð ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

So Paul I guess we should say we are all borrowing things now, that's an interesting idea that way no one can claim it's their own work. You know even when we do our own work, some people have stolen it and claimed it was theirs as well. So I think there needs to be a better plan for this, but I appreciate you sharing this with us as it truly is food for thought. I hope you have a great Friday and your staying safe..  Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Yes - I believe original thought exists though it's uncommon. Unique ideas - much more rare. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Are those worthy because they're original? Who am I to determine worthiness? Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Sometimes plagiarism is deliberate; sometimes it's unconscious (George Harrison - My Sweet Lord/He's So Fine). If I'm doing a straight cut and paste of someone else's words (deliberate), I give credit. Usually I try to give credit even if it's my own words but they were inspired by someone else's thoughts. That's what I really like about Blogland when it's working at it's best...people riffing on each others' themes.

I wonder if I was too vague... Ya know what I mean? I should have listed more examples. from music and movies. But originality is a state of mind. If you've never heard the original - 'Twist and Shout' - ya might think the Beatles wrote it. Or did they simply improve on it? ðĪ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

I don't mind, I like reruns.

I would love to know if this could be proven scientifically as anything else is simply conjecture. However, I will speculate our perceptions, thoughts and ideas are influenced by everything we see, hear, touch, taste, smell and read.

When i post herre and have "borrowed" from another place I try really hard to say where it came from ( cookies are a good example as are some virus data.) But to give credit to all the virus data I compiled- it's just not possible so I listed the sources with the exception of specific medical folks I know. Makes one wonder if Microsoft was an original? (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

art, music, ideas, even data. the orginality comes from an individuals different perspective on it.

Actually Paul, and let's take music for example, I've often wondered what else a person can find to sing about, cos all that there is seems to be taken - love, heart break, oh just every kinda emotion and experience everybody has ever had - guess all a song writer can do now is try a new and diff angle, approach - of course a tune can make or break a song as well - it will either appeal or not?! ..... And always 'hold onto all those sexy thoughts'! (Remember if you feel like taking part in some sexy fun then click here!)
