Re: Intelligence and the desire to reproduce.
Any old idiot can not do stuff and not like stuff. But in the end, do you have anything more to show for yourself beyond your record of abstinence from popular activities and disdain for popular beliefs? Anything positive you have created? Anything interesting you have discovered or invented? Anyth...

Re: Intelligence and the desire to reproduce.
"I hate mixing with 'normal people.' That must mean I'm intelligent." "I don't want to reproduce. That must mean I'm intelligent, too." "I don't like women. I must be a genius." "I don't do [x], and I don't do [y], and I don't do [z]..." Okay, there are lots ...

Re: Intelligence and the desire to reproduce.
Greetings, It has come to my attention that many intelligent people aren't concerned to have children of their own, and often don't. It appears as if intelligence extinguishes or reduces the desire to reproduce. If in fact that is true, then a concern comes to mind. Namely, since the intelligence o...

Re: Intelligence and the desire to reproduce.
1. The population is already too high in many areas. This is not the reason, except in China. This would be the last thing preventing intelligent people from reproducing. 2. It is difficult to find masculine women who will produce healthy and intelligent offspring. This is true for some members of ...

Re: Intelligence and the desire to reproduce.
It's often the case that intelligent people just can't be bothered with child raising, especially if they aren't secured financially. Intelligent men and women are busy pursuing their careers. Also, it depends on the country, and how it encourages reproduction, which is a big concern in Europe as th...

Re: Is there an ideology of knowledge?
You can say the same about science for example, but science has undeniably made our world a better place. "Better" according to your standards maybe. You miss the plague, church authority being strong, inquisitors burning people for fun...? Knowledge and science are things that should pro...

If we were living in an anarchy this is precisely what wouldn't happen, as there would be no government.but the government will try to hold you responsible for your actions.

I said it counts, it has meaning relatively, as in relation to other people, like technological advances for example. Never mentioned hope. You are unaware that what you speak of is hope. No. What I speak of is relative significance, for the third time. You could've just said you are a nihilist who...

Your relationship with sexuality is coloured by your fear of it, you hide it and you run from it, you pretend it is not there and you detest anything that stirs it. False.

Re: ANGELS BOUND IN THE DEEP
So that's why Constantine converted on his deathbed and made Christianity equal with the pagan religions. Because it was about Sun and during Constantine's time the cult of the invincible Sun was the official religion in the Empire. Ol' chap must've said - screw it we'll worship Sun either way :)

How does this answers the question whether one is right or left brained?
It's clockwise. I don't see how someone could see it turning counterclockwise if she keeps spinning in the same way.
