Re: Random quotes or posts from elsewhere
Natives have always seemed collectively greedy. Uh huh. That's why the "best man" in Native ceremonies is the one who gives the most away. That's why whites made deserts of their lands and slaves of other men, all the while hoarding and accumulating wealth---while Natives did no such thin...

what do you think is masculine thought? There are gender differences. My thesis research is surrounding story telling and gender and the essential thing is that men are more solitary while women are more likely to include the group... In addition men are likely to brag while women are likely to joi...

Humans are probably diurnal, I think. People who work night shifts get cancer and other illnesses at a significantly higher rate. It wouldn't really make sense for us to be nocturnal, since unlike some other predators our bodies cannot manufacture vitamin D without sunlight. I think the higher rate...

Everyone is ignorant of something. Even a computer that has amassed every thought, word, idea, concept, theory, and all human data since prehistory. Still ignorant. It would be ignorant of experiences, feelings, sensations, things it can't know. Fish are ignorant of lives of birds, and vice versa. N...

Re: September 11, 2001
I can not, and will not let this pass. I have been screwed in the head from this. Totally and Royally screwed in the head. That's your choice...? I am (*) so disgusted about what happened that day, even now. There is not a day goes by, when I don't think of this. (*) Why? Of course you'll never for...

When I'm able to sink into my natural sleep cycle I will usually fall asleep around 9-10am and sleep until 7-8pm. It feels much more natural to sleep those hours than it does to sleep at night and wake in the morning. I'm inclined to think this is the case with most people, which begs the question,...

Re: Point of no return?
What is reality?...Reality is a state of mind, that is brought on by consciousness.... Hypothetically writting, let us assume we know someone who is a schizophrenic. Now, that person is considered mentally ill, because they have delusions based on false experiences; Their realities are said to be w...

Re: Question for the intellectually mature.
What studies and intellectual strain must one pursue in order to exploit ones' cogitive potential. To put it bluntly, what must I read, study, exercise in order to peak my intelligence.

Do you mostly sleep at night or during the day?

It isn’t at all. I understand it perfectly. I don’t call it wise. In fact, it’s most ordinary! Standing on one's head wearing a tu-tu made of sandpaper while gargling puréed asparagus is not ordinary---nor is it wise. But I'll bet you'll rationalize that it is; I guess some people argue just...

I don't think it has anything directly to do with me being arrested for it. I do think it has something to do with my consciousness expanding between my late teens and early twentys (I'm 22). I am an overall more aware person now than I was compared when I was 16. Looking back on those years I see ...

Re: True.
It's going to happen, so make boats. Make insanely large investments in nautical technology and hope the stock market doesn't crash when the world as we know it ends. Either you will end up with money or you'll be dead, but it really isn't up to you. Plus if society survives above water, then your ...

Well, I must say, that is the perfect comparison because despite the apparent fact they’d figured that out, they seem to have made a hell of a mess out of it. I'm not sure what you mean. What other way was it supposed to be? To think anything more happens is (desperate, ego-driven) wishful thinki...

I have a slow computer so I can't watch youtube. I'm not even sure what it is. Little film clips I take it. You're not missing a thing. Unless you're into ADD versions of America's Funniest Home videos, attention-starved bimbos strutting about in front of their webcams, and other such examples of m...

All in all, it would be great to speed up the process. Quite right. It's like watching someone on his death bed, hooked up to machines, tubes jammed in every hole and a few other places, simply existing while rotting away in meaninglessness and misery. The ethical thing to do is not slow down the i...

I used to enjoy getting high all the time, never experiencing any paranoia or anxiety. I used to smoke marijuana regularly from when I was about 15 years old to 19 years old until I was arrested for posession and part of my punishment was a year of random drug testing. So when my drug testing was o...

I don't think that's a good reason to avoid something. Self-conscious non-conformism is really conformism in disguise. Oh, it probably seems that way. The masculine resists, and once you're in tune with that over a decade or two, you develop a second nature, get a feel for trends and the results of...
