hehe i saw you fall over just now

If a tree falls in a forest, and no one sees it, will it get laughed at by the other trees?

More to the point, if a tree falls, and nobody hears it, does it make a sound? Well does it, punk?

j/k about the punk bit...

That is indeed a deep question. The answer is yes, but also no.

AGHHHHHHHH! Who are 'they'?!?! When people say 'you know what they say....' who the fu*k is they????

In this case, the people who design and build the train

But surely 'they' would use something more inventive than a mere whistle if they have managed to develop a supersonic train.

The point is that if your travelling at or past the speed of sound, then you wouldnt hear the whistle until after it had passed, therefore a whistle/horn would be useless. That's the joke. oh well...

If you want to know who "they" are, read the German philosopher Martin Heidegger, who wrote an essays about "man" (German for "they" or better "one" in "one says".
According for him "they" is a way to say things without really having to fear consequences. "It was not me who said this, I just stated what they say".
In Heidegger's so called exitentialist philosophy "the One" (or in our case the "They" is the yet unpersonal subject of average statements, evaluations and reactions.
This is, however, the only piece of written material I can recommend if it comes to Heidegger. Morbid and Zcott might agree with me, that it is at least questionable if Heidegger can be really seen as an existentialist at all. In any case his existentialist philosophy does not have much in common with Camus or Satre.

Martin Heidegger is indeed the man for 'they' as well as the question he continually returned to "what is the meaning of being?". He dealt with the issue of dehumanisation chiefly in his 1977 work "The Question Concerning Technology". His work affected the cultural and philosophical "landscape" of continental europe for decades. However, this is all I know of him, and Vader could undoubtedly tell us more, if it were necessary.

I could, but why should I? Ask me about Platon, Aristotle, Augustine, Abaelard, Aquino, Descartes, Kant, Hegel - any of the lot and I will gladly answer. But I do not really care about (post)modern philosophy, since I am not willing to participate in the dismantlement of knowledge and perception. Where are we now, in terms of rational thinking? We did not only fall behind the achievements of the Enlightment, we are even back to the darkest metaphysics of the middle-ages! Look at Morbid's post about GP4 physics, and you'll see what I mean. Blind belief in "the physics" is in no ways better than blind belief in "demons".
