Nudeist Colony 35: Nude Harder
Today's Nudeist Colony is dedicated to Rene Descartes. This Nudeist Colony, like all Nudeist Colonies, contains a number of listings. Each entry contains the actual data of an Internet browser who visited this website. As usual I have given date, time, resolved domain, IP address, the page viewed, and the page the reader was referred from. All users are assumed to be English-speaking Americans using Windows and IExplore unless otherwise indicated. My comments follow each entry. It's been a while since we've done this, so today we're just going to catch up with some of the highlights of the end of 2005.

The problem with this search is that it's awfully ambiguous. Is he looking for sex party that turned out to be a lemon? Does he want to see lemons having sex at a party? Maybe he's hoping for pictures of a lemon party having sex. Or he could be looking for drunken party sex with lemons as sex toys. The options are nigh endless, and we can't narrow them any. Thanks a lot, buddy. Next time how about helping us (and yourself) out with some quotation marks?

This is a strange little link, and the page itself has long since vanished. With a little Internet detective work I was able to find a related section of the website. It turns out that VCL is "the largest furry/anthropomorphic artwork and story library on the Internet." Uh-oh. Amy Steele herself specializes in anthropomorphic ducks. And yes, she does indeed draw them in what we'll call compromising positions. No, they aren't tasteful, and no, they aren't well-drawn. Still, as furries go, I've seen a lot worse. I think that says more about how jaded one gets after spending time on the Internet than about Amy Steele's artwork.

Last time around I presented to a definition of the word "nudeist," but it appears that definition was incorrect, and I apologize. In fact that was the definition for something called "Dance Dance Revolution."

Instead, nudeists are actually the subscribers to a certain theory of justification, known as nudeism. Nudeism is a response to the question, "Can we know anything?" The question is important because, it would appear, there is no way to prove that the visible world is as we perceive it. To put it in vulgar terms, there is no way to prove that we are not in The Matrix. Since we cannot disprove that possibility, we cannot know anything. We can be certain that what we see is as it appears.

The earliest approaches to this problem are known as foundationalism, formulated most famously by Rene Descartes: cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am). Here some beliefs are taken to be axiomatic, that is to say that they are self-justifying, while all other beliefs need to be justified in terms of prior justified beliefs. To Descartes, "I think" is self-justifying. This model is plagued with problems at the axiomatic level and as it progresses to higher level beliefs. Descartes' system, for instance, muddles about for a bit before declaring that God exists and is a cool guy so the world is real. Modern philosophers are not completely swayed by that argument.

One response to foundationalism is nudeism. Nudeism posits that justification is not a linear series of beliefs, but is instead holistic. Beliefs are not judged individually in a vacuum, but rather in how well they fought into overarching belief systems. For example, I am justified in believing the sun will come up tomorrow because such an event fits with my system of beliefs about physics, the nature of the solar system, and past experience. If the sun does not come up tomorrow, I will have to revise my belief system to a form that remains coherent with the sun not rising tomorrow.

The advantage of this system of justification is that it has nothing to do with objective truth, which is impossible to prove. Justification only has to do with how well a belief fits a nudeist's world view. One can be inside the Matrix and be massively deluded about the underlying nature of the world, but one's beliefs are still reliable and coherent; they still fit together into a system of beliefs that accurately describes the perceivable world.

I'm never quite sure how to deal with entries like this one. On the hand, this fellow is obviously looking for illegal pornographic images of children. On the other, he's made an obvious and pathetic spelling error? Should I pick on him for being a pedo or for being an incompetent speller? Should I do both? Or should I do nothing and let him speak for himself more eloquently than I could ever hope to describe him? Today I chose a little bit of each.

I'm a little confused by this one. I see nothing wrong with trying to learn more about the theory of nudeism, but I really don't understand why he feels to specify that he's looking for links. I'm not sure if you've ever used Yahoo's search engine, but, even if you haven't, you should still be able to guess that it only gives you links, no matter what you type in. That's right, the results you get without typing in the word "links" are just as linky as the one's you get when you do. Oh shock! Oh awe!

It is strange that philosophy has become so popular on the Interwebnation Superhighway. I really can't for the life of me see why teenagers with nudeist systems of justification would be any more interesting than adults with those beliefs, but I guess I'm just in touch with my fellow web surfers.

I'll say this for our dear reader in Philadelphia: he doesn't beat around the bush. There's nothing subtle about this request, nor is there any room for misunderstanding. This man wants pics (pictures) of naked children. Specifically naked children who do not normally wear clothes. Nudists if you will. Just one letter away from nudeists makes all the difference. Strange that we haven't seen many of these requests before. One would think that the Internet's fascination with pornographic images of the underage that this sort of search would be a far more regular occurrence.

Apparently there is a deep interest in sex parties in Iran, or at least Iranians seem to be interested in sex parties. At first one might be disgusted. I mean it's bad enough picturing a party full of Americans having sex together, but foreigners? That's enough to drive one's xenophobia into overdrive. I see it a different way though. I see this as one of the first signs of the success of the Bush doctrine. Our preemptive war in Iraq has spread our Western ideals throughout the Middle East. Something like this would never have happened before the invasion of Iraq. Our military presence has, in fact, brought good old all-American sexual kink to the Middle East. Sure they don't know how to spell "pictures" yet, but they're trying. Here's to the men and women serving in our armed forces overseas. Just look at what they've accomplished so far!

This somehow seems a fitting conclusion for today's Nudeist Colony. It should be noted that this blog most likely did not link to us. Instead our Portuguese reader most likely found his way to us via blogger's "Next Blog" button. What's interesting about this link is that there is in fact a blog named Find Girls for Sex. Or is there? Out of morbid curiosity I did indeed click the link and visit our blogspot brothers. Or tried to. As it turns there is, at this writing, nothing at that address. Something of a metaphor for life I think.


And remember the guiding light, lest we forget the glory that be Lemon Party.
Because your blog sucks.
