Answer 1

When a person has nothing to say but wants to be famous, he starts with "anti"-theories.

Answer 2

I commonly think of that anti-theories, like anti-poetry or anti-psychiatry, are in simple terms as conservative as classic ones. you won't have the ability to make an area evolt by using potential of attacking the mainstream with out having something particular to represent or make a contribution. Revolution and evolution can in simple terms be finished with reasonable concepts, necessary grievance and not in simple terms rejection.

Answer 3

Its a typical counter-cultural argument. These people, who normally turn out to be frustrated middle-class students, tend to see rebellion as 'thinking differently'. Think the Adbusters. They believe that wearing shoes made by their Anti-brand, Blackspot, Is a form of political rebellion. Its this kind of feel-good rebellion that is becoming rife in the left-wing, something i personally cant stand. Post-modernism is very much a dead school in philosophy, as they reject things for the very sake of it.

Answer 4

i disagree with him. if hes gonna accuse poets of lying and becoming famous,k then why not say the same foe scientists, artists, teachers, virtually anyone? poetsy is a subjective art. thats the point. its not supposed to be factual. i think he's jealous. nobodys heard of him anyway.

Answer 5

i never got into poetry that much anyway, a bunch of words that rhyme each other, kind of boring

Answer 6

I think i have to accept it but i think its crap and uncalled for. Its like anti-painting painters who just hang up empty canvases. Stupid point.
