GENIUS FORUMS

My point was that if you insult and demonize people then there will be price to pay. Many people who would normally have supported the democrats decided to support Trump, because of Clinton's actions. And they will probably never support the democrats ever again. I'd be interested to hear why you t...

Thanks for the replies, I was looking for some clarifications. I'll type more brain dumps, I don't know if they're true. I've been reading about DMT trips. There's threads full of people saying they experienced things that are completely indescribable by language. They pile on the superlatives and s...

No I'm saying the question of depth applies to the psychological forces which illusions conceal, as opposed to their content. Illusions are not concealing anything, at least in the higher philosophical sense. Like a Fata Morgana, it's only pretending there's content or behind . If there's nothing o...

Unhappiness is bound to be the norm in the kind of project that QRS ideally should be (and instead merely simulates, as I claim). If you reject the values of other people, i.e. the way they interact with the world and each other, then they will reject you. To the extent possible, you have to think ...

I think you probably ought to take a break from activity on this forum or hashing out wisdom and genius. I say this gently, but you seem to sound like somebody who is coming apart at the seams. Emphasis on 'seem to sound' here. I'm not trying to make a point regarding Jupiviv's current state of min...

What exactly is ideal of spreading truth? I'll have a go at putting down some arguments why I think this ideal might be problematic: *I'd say that spreading truth is something different from truth itself, and if truth is the highest value, then spreading truth at least comes in second place or later...

Perhaps. Nietzsche did say, astutely, that laughter was essentially a form of malice. Are you referring to my smiley or your own post? Both. :D The quote I was thinking of goes something like, "Laughter is malice without a bad conscience". But I can't remember where it came from and googl...

I’m guessing some of you have already seen this. It is a video of Ben Shapiro humiliating himself during a BBC interview. It is worth looking at more closely because, to me at least, the whole affair embodies everything that is reprehensible about the alt-right movement. Here is the interview in fu...

This is what I found on nietzsche and laughter https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/769828 ... own-to-you

I saw this most recent episode as a cautionary tale against trusting wannabe tyrants. For years, the dragon queen had been showing unmistakable signs that she was a tyrant at heart with a strong vindictive streak. Her advisers and supporters chose to downplay these signs. They thought they could te...

Should have everything needed to reconstruct it if necessary

I made a scrape of the site and peripheral sites a long time ago. I'll try to upload it through dropbox

Found this Interesting article but I'm not posting this in agreement but more as illustration. A liberal elite still luring us towards the abyss by Jonathan Cook, British journalist writing for many mainstream newspapers. It's mainly a response to the short manifesto written by 30 respected intelle...

I don't feel like burning my fingers again, but I'm watching this conversation!

PS. Did you know a cute kitten dies every time you say Occidental

Excellent! So thoughtful! Give me a kiss before you ascend. It's only fair . . . You leave me to have to imagine everything. Dear Eric . I read your striking comments and, then and there, was transported into the luminous mists of The All. Unable to speak I gazed out into Infinity and, swoosh, I di...

What are you all talking about? Are you getting 'enlightened' behind my back? This is not right. Being ignored, for a woman, is pretty close to the experience of a painful death, isn't it. Anyways, I will tell you I was plotting to turn them all against you, but no more. The new (win-win!) plan is ...

I could say that, and indeed that is the only choice possible. But I suggest -- politely of course -- that on a forum like this it is best not to deliberately kill a thread. Your logic would be -- is -- that it might be best to kill a topic so that a new one will develop. Why not 'kill' all of them...

As far as I am aware I did not bring up Trump at any point. What I did bring up is perhaps encapsulated here: Well, there you have a general outline. We are at a very odd juncture in our civilization. In my view this is the first order of business and where consciousness needs to be focused. We nee...

Wise words from verse 5 of the Tao te Ching, the original subject of this thread, parenthesis mine: "Heaven and Earth are impartial; they treat all of creation as straw dogs. The Master doesn't take sides ; she [gotta love this one!] treats everyone like a straw dog. The space between Heaven a...

I wonder, what is the difference between consciousness and experience? Is it the same thing? It depends on how we conceive and define these things. In my last post to you, I did use consciousness to mean the same as experience. The totality of your experiences and the totality of your consciousness...

I just want to politely make mention of the fact that when you meddle in the threads, Brother Diebert, you destroy them. Every time. And you do that for that purpose. Your meddling does not serve a creative purpose. I personally don't mind that the thread went into a discussion on Trump, but isn't ...

Going on a different train of thought about my experience: If I call the forms that constitute my experience F. Then, !F (not F) is equal to the hidden void, is equal to the unconscious mind as I think Vishesh called it, which by definition cannot be experienced. Therefore, it is also not possible ...

For sure the forces can and will get intertwined, re-enforcing each other, like a true "death spiral". A lot of complex, dynamic processes we observe in nature have that kind of causality. All causality is like that, which shouldn't be surprising to members of this forum! Of course in the...
