The universe comes to be, to make itself, by cooperation , as well as competition. You've only got your hand wrapped around your yang . . . . It's competition that creates the desire for cooperation. Don't let this blind you that war is also two separate cooperating teams, to win scarce resources, ...

I have women friends who, without exactly understanding why or what happened, have with their sixth sense understood that *something* shifted in my outlook. It's strange how it's women who are intimately aware of the power plays and how it takes either a rare or maybe lower class guy to think on th...

And yet, imagine what the world would be like without it. There wouldn't be a world.

I note the following: GF philosophy represents and defines (upholds) a divorce from the core and very fundamental biological-existential facts. They see it all, they see what it is and where it leads, and they opt out. But this is totally artificial, is reactive, and in any case can never endure. I...

"My personal view is that a woman is something that one should consciously decide to 'control'." A very, very old thought borne of the flesh of the spirit. Women will always know that their progeny is "theirs" but men cannot secure such assurances unless everything about her bre...

The ethical question depends on how the individual aligns himself with groups in the world and how he dispenses value. If it's a jesus-like figure then his group is all humanity, loving all people equally and advocating not only the same opportunities, but maybe even the same rewards. If it's more a...

The story fascinated me because it was so counter-crafty and contained so much 'metis' (trickery). I am curious to know what you-all think of the ethics of his decision and what it might mean as a 'morality tale'. I believe those ethics are great. Or if not great then realistic and necessary. In th...

Hi Laird, I've skimmed through some of your posts here, and it seems to me the main theme is a verging toward anti-science. Tell me, is this trend something other than your strength of characters saying to the world, "THIS IS WHO I AM"...and then finding whatever mode to help justify it, h...

Generally if it's a woman who mentions being 'strong and independent' it means she's chosen to use masculine energy as a survival strategy. She'll take mental notes about tougher men to help put a cap on her natural emotional flow and be more tough, aggressive and responsible herself. Unfortunately ...

Great Tomas. Speaking of Rothbard, here is a short essay of his explaining the philosophical foundations of Austrianism:

Since Ron Paul has been getting more headlines in the states, I've come across a lesser known economic theory called Austrian Economics. I've started doing research and it seems much more reasonable compared to today's Keynesian economics. For one, Austrian economists predicted today's US recession ...

Epic way to die. The situation in America and elsewhere is that if you are masculine, outspoken, brash or sexual in even the slightest way, then you have to be EXTREMELY AND UNBELIEVABLY CAREFUL not to cross that fragile line in a woman's feelings that, if crossed, will set off a firestorm against y...

First, there would be no 'job' because 'the wise' choose not to work, remember? They get their money from the state and by 'abusing' social security (almost a form of fraud). So, no finances to handle, no charity, and therefore no economic help rendered. All the figures who (like Mother Teresa) ded...

Explain in one paragraph what this “infinite” means for a you and a me, in existence right now, on this Earth, and in this conversation. Make some statement about it. The infinite is the sense you get when you look into the causes and effects of things, seeing a source is nowhere to be found, and s...

What should be is not important compared to what *is*. It is the great masculine hope to bring and keep the tides completely under control. At the same time, we are pack animals and have emotional needs that involve other people. At best they can be managed and relegated to specified roles in order ...

'How we appear to others' is a mind-frame that sometimes exists and one where we have a choice between Positive or Negative feelings. If it exists, we care. Assuming a person wants and can accept all good things, it's always a good idea to create love at this and every opportunity. Vanity can be see...

1) You will exercise daily 2) You will review your written goals daily 3) You will trust yourself 4) You will not become upset about another's state of affairs, you will focus on what you have to do. 5) You will show yourself and others how it is done: strong and bright 6) You will see yourself and ...

These are the kind of posts that define the dark side of GF rhetoric. The side of it that can be seen as elistists, haters and 'pain people'. This is what can happen when a person values objectivity in a way that disrespects the everlasting power of the emotional world. It is 100% false that anyone ...

Innocent.

Thanks for this, mensa!

If they instead said, "I can single handedly determine the truth value of something, and I will no longer live as if it's true if I find that it's not"...then they would start to be responsible for their world and would necessarily risk giving up their delusions. Which is difficult to do....

I do see a lot of power dynamics in operation on this forum. It's hard to avoid that given the human condition - the emotional need for attention in one form or another. Everyone has someone or something in their life that they are sensitive with. But in things like science and pure reason where th...

A sane tactic, but not exactly an enlightened, nor an honest, one. But those are the sort of tactics that guys like David resort to in order to maintain their prestige under criticism in the cult-like environments that they foster. It would look like that if you choose to view this only through the...

Hi Kelly, I'm trying to figure out if this is your lesbian fantasy or if you are just saying this in general. Anyway, here are my comments from where I am: She is quiet, reflective, kindly, with clear eyes and a warm smile. Kind is a must, reflective is great, but it's also nice to hear a woman talk...

I think Laird understands the mechanics more or less. And as it is for everyone, it's really the question to how much you let it hit home, how much you let it into your heart and influence your entire world-view.
