A quick definition of prudent person:

A prudent person is someone who acts sensibly and takes proper precautions to protect themselves and others. They use their knowledge and judgment to make good decisions. The law often uses the idea of a reasonable person as a standard to determine if someone acted negligently. This reasonable person is someone who behaves like most people in society and doesn't let their emotions control their actions. In the past, the term reasonable person was also used to mean any human being.

A more thorough explanation:

A prudent person is a legal standard used to determine whether someone acted with negligence. It is also known as a reasonable person. This hypothetical person exercises the degree of attention, knowledge, intelligence, and judgment that society requires of its members for the protection of their own and of others' interests.

The reasonable person acts sensibly, does things without serious delay, and takes proper but not excessive precautions. For example, a reasonable person would not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as it endangers their own and others' safety.

In criminal law, the actus reus of murder (and therefore of any criminal homicide) was declared to be unlawfully killing a reasonable person who is in being and under the King's peace, the death following within a year and a day. In this sentence, the word ‘reasonable’ does not mean ‘sane’, but ‘human’. This means that a person who is not sane, such as a lunatic, is still protected under the law.

Overall, a prudent person is someone who acts with common sense and takes reasonable precautions to protect themselves and others.

yeah good point

Yeah, it would but eventually you gotta give it up to do something good in life. What I was talking about yesterday with the Japanese movie about how the guy can't ever actually just turn on the gas and do something amazing.

@babycat: listen to Nick's rap at the begginign of this epsiode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5C-k-sfZd0

@Dkk: do you think the movie condones that lifestyle or promotes it as a good thing? Why is a movie bad because you don’t like a character’s lifestyle in it?

Nick Mullen bravely promoting the fringe position of eating pussy
Dkk

I think the movie is bad cus it promotes that lifestyle as good without showing the guy is completely capable of living an alternative lifestyle. It's honoring a guy who literally has no other choice to be like that. It's like praising the sun for rising. That's just what the sun does.
duker next tues?

How does the movie promote that lifestyle as good? I don’t know that that’s justified by the contents of the film

You could say that his interaction with his sister and the scene at the end where he’s alternately laughing and crying show that maybe he does have regrets or is not entirely satisfied with his life
Dkk
15:10
Too me if you blatantly leave out an alternative you leave the average viewer with one option and the average viewer is impressionable so it's promoting it.
Dkk
15:10
@babycat: I mean, maybe but again, left too ambiguous.
babycat
15:11
I don’t think the movie is responsible for the intelligence of the average viewer and I don’t think it needs to have an unambiguous moral message to be a good film

This is like those people who say that Lolita is ontologically evil because it’s from the perspective of the narrator. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity in life
babycat
15:12
The movie or book doesn’t have to tell you how to feel
well with lolita maybe some versions don't have it but at least in the original russian publication the foreword of the book is that this is a court transcript of his confession
so yeah it does tell you how to feel because it shows every description of her is completely untrue and warped
but nabokov published much weirder shit than lolita as wild as that is lol

I love Pale Fire
what's the name of the one about siblings
babycat

Ada or Ardor I think

I think it can be ambiguous, but it should be something the viewer should be able to figure out. If not then what is the point. In terms of audience intelligence, I don't think the highest level of movie watchers would care for this movie. I think the opposite. The movie does not appeal to the highest level of movie watchers. It also doesn't appeal to like the lowest level either. It just tells a simple story that comes off as propoganda.
yeah you're right thank you
