Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life

Audio equipment, cars, cloths, sunglasses, speech and hair are all associated with the word "Cool" sometimes. All these material things have nothing to do with cool. "Cool" is a "state of mind" and some people have it and some will never, no matter how much money, expensive audio system they have or how hard they try. Some nuclear physicists and librarians are cool because its in their "state of mind" and some people will never no matter how hard they try. You know the type... think about it! EVEN AUDIOPHILES CAN BE COOL

Many years ago the New York Times ran an article on 'cool'. It outlined how you must always be a 'coolhunter', as it is a state of mind.

Do you mean if you "are" cool, or to "become" such? It just occurred to me while writing this post(like right now) that getting my system sounding like real life has been my yardstick for the last 30+ years. Oh yeah, I got it goin on! No clue if I need sympathy or not... (I can take it):)

what is the importance of being "cool" and what are the consequences of not being "cool" ?

persona;;y, i don't like to be judged and would hope that there people become less jidgmental, so that all of the "adjectives" people may hope apply to them are unimportant because they are based upon the opinion of others.

as a culture, i have noticed that many people value that which is superficial and are other directed rather than inner directed, taking cues from what other people think of them.

I guess with me it's the self recognition that "I'm there";ie: validation? Looks like I really don't care what other people think. Now that can't not be cool, can it? My wife doesn't think it is. Elizabeth, Elizabeth!
