GENIUS FORUMS

While I did say "replace", perhaps that would imply too much a certain direction in the cause and effect. It might be very well that a larger concern (need) has pushed out the smaller ones. Or that he just takes the shortest route, a route which is available because of the lack of inhibit...

Most people are able to combine ideas that have consistent thought themes, but psychopaths have great difficulty doing this. Again, this suggests a genetic restriction to what we have called the Juvenile Dictionary. Not only are they using extremely restricted definitions, they cannot, by virtue of...

Perhaps one could say the psychopath's mind doesn't bother with the usual "petty" concerns? It might create a lot of mental space for focusing on whatever is desired for whatever reason. I wouldn't call it an mind free of concern, actually some of the obsessive behavior would indicate the...

Psychopaths appear at the low end of the scale of conscience , philosophers at the high end. This is an important distinction. While Nietzsche's Übermensch might appear amoral or immoral, since he's creating new or different morals, he can only create after destroying what was there strongly develo...

Interesting. It's a shame they piled so much on him at once and drove him away (that would be my guess to why he stopped responding). Strangely, everything about this person bears a very strong resemblance to a friend of mine. Down to a T...even career interests and reading materials. Some parts of ...

The issue of psychopathy seems to me to be a matter which is both widely misunderstood as well as neglected. Recent estimates state that .75% of the United States population is psychopathic. It is not known how many of these people are full-blown psychopaths. The condition of psychopathy is most oft...

OK I know that this topic is splitting in a bunch of different directions here but I think I might know how to get to the root of the issue. What is your definition of memory?

Obviously you aren't inclined toward reasoning. Having said that I will be the mature one here and end this.

And you are who , exactly? I've been on this forum for 10+ years. How would either of those things be relevant to what I'm getting at here? Being on this forum 10+ years is a justification for whatever mode of behavior you adopt? Or me being new to the forum disqualifies me from being able to recog...

What part of "have at it" don't you understand? Go for it kid. I just want to point out that I was simply calling attention to some of your obnoxious antisocial tendencies which are a nuisance on the forum, and of course you responded in character. That being clarified, you can go ahead a...

Ok prole. Good luck, have at it. I couldn't ask for a better affirmation of everything I've said. Given your account name "prince" and your redundant and incessant attempts at condescension (including your use of the word "prole" here), one has a hard time not concluding that yo...

My standards. Any wise individuals standards. I'm not interested in a dialogue with you kid. Though someone else will likely oblige, meanwhile I will point you here http://theabsolute.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=128 From the little I have seen of your posting, which I am nearly sure is indica...

There's no such thing as valid varied perspectives of reality, there is only one correct one. I meant varied in the sense that he has an eclectic perspective. The word eclectic would have served better there. However I am curious what you mean by there is only one 'correct' perspective of reality; ...

Well, he's somewhat interesting, but not a genius - someone who understands the nature of Reality, and has a true sense of the relationships between things. Have you ever looked at his works, The Animate and Inanimate and Unconscious Intelligence ? Sidis may have not produced much literature, but w...

Façade, So what you're saying is, if I find a woman attractive, I should walk up to her and say I want to fuck her instead of trying to court her? No, the fact is that people simply cannot be blunt about their intentions in realistic social interactions because that is counterproductive. And while ...

I think it's pretty clear that appearing charming or charismatic requires an extra effort by a person to make what he is saying or doing more pleasing and/or important than it is. That in itself would be a clear diversion from simply speaking the truth and acting according to it, which should be th...

Facade, I disagree, I believe in most cases, charm is undesirable if one is interested in living an honest life. Charm is a smoke screen for ones true intention. So why not be blunt and direct and expose ones true intentions rather than concealing it? It involves a certain deceit, a certain lack of...

Let us be clear about what charm is as a function, that is, why it is desirable to be charming. Charm is the effective capacity of one's persuasiveness, his ability to align the behavior of an agent or agents with some determinate intention. Being charming is desirable because it is an efficient way...
