Soft ...

Hypothesis: Soft things are great. Girls, pillows, soft drinks, soft music, being soft on crime; I dare you to find any item or activity that isn't improved by making it softer.

We have soft motion martial arts, like tai chi. That shit just fascinates me. You take your average punch and make it softer, slower, more controlled, involving your whole body in a harmonic rotating movement, and it has basically the same effect with less force.

And the soft sciences, where they don't pretend to discover ultimate truths of the world as it is and get all worked up even though today's truth is superseded the next week; but rather a slow, careful process of genuine enlightenment by studying the immaterial values which define the world we live in.

Also, hands up everyone who's read A Softer World.

This has been a post written entirely around making a punny thread title.

Anvils don't work well when soft. Swords don't work as intended softer. Engines don't work as well softer.

don't forget flexible Chinese swords. They have all kinds of fun applications that rigid swords don't. And a more generic Japanese saying, "there's no strength in a sword which lacks softness".

And one could make the case living bodies as soft engines work very well, at least from a structural standpoint. They can maintain partial function even with a lot of damaged parts, they repair themselves using normal biofuel and can even grow stronger. In one word, resilient.

Of course I just put forth the argument to trick people into thinking of penises. But then, people showed surprising unpredictability. So everyone wins. Except Token.

I think of it in terms of good or bad. For instance, I'm often in want of a good drink or a bad girl.

My inner feminist wanted to chime in with "it's not 'bad' in itself to just want an evening of sex, it's just that our cultural notions of goodness and badness with respect to sex are kind of fucked up," but then I remembered that this theoretical girl would be having sex with someone who regularly posts here.

And yet you'll be the only one who knows it, if you can't at least try to master a...soft touch :cool: .
