GENIUS FORUMS

I don't really care one way or the other about exploring cyber worlds. Because you don't. Arguments for it on this thread, so far, are pretty sloppy. It sounds like arguments for pornography: - to stimulate thought about human psychology through erotic art - to broaden one's perspective about desir...

But humans have always traded consciousness for bright shiny things. We are no different now than we have ever been. The difference is the fact that there are a lot more bright shiny things. And many are more enticing and lethal than ever before. Only that. I'm not actually sure about that. I mean,...

It is a symptom of a larger problem, really. Being willing to trade consciousness for bright colors and shiney lights. Being willing to trade thought for cyber-fishing... feminization of society. But humans have always traded consciousness for bright shiny things. We are no different now than we ha...

The "fat" archetytpe is derived from a food scarcity context. The opposite archetype-as-ideal is true today.

Andy would have been proud of his oxymoronic stature as a Comic Genius.

In the same way that Unenlightened and Fit Cardiovascularly might be possible.

I think they failed because of tactical errors. Saddam should not have started his Iran adventure only a year after he got full power. Also, he miscalculated with Kuwait, because before that time, we were still maybe 50% in his camp; a remnant of the 70's and 80's when we seemed to love to saddle up...

The poor unfrozen philosopher caveman is always so misunderstood.

Perhaps you might like to work on another way to express your antithesis? What is my antithesis? I am a simple unfrozen philosopher caveman. Your ideas of Perfection and Infinity confuse and frighten me. I have no presonal emotion on whether or not "perfect infinity" is a real thing or is...

Cause and effect, which is a principle that arises with things and time and cannot therefore be separate from/independent of them, is what the universe is. I think if you can logically and empirically prove that there can be cause without any effect, then you can prove that the universe (not a part...

Show me some. Even one little sliver, outside of human scribblings on paper.

I think the notion that space/time simply has to be infinite is something of a dogma. We haven't burned any heretics for awhile Mr. Ironic but I will contribute to the firewood fund in your case. Seriously though, as a creature of space/time (really the same thing) your ability to see anything othe...

Ah, sorry again. I read it too quickly. Obviously, you are not cheap at all!

The “QSR female” is feminine, always, by definition. She personifies the unconscious. That, and how, she does this in the minds of men is their point. Ah, maybe that is where is miscommunication lies. I was referring to a "QRS female" as a female of the mold of the QRS ideal. Maybe th...

Tharan wrote: Elizabeth, the earlier post in which you descibed your family was a good read. Well written. I liked your description of your mom as essentially the QRS female with a feminine veneer. What feminine veneer ??? "Veneer" is the feminine. Ryan, for one, is besotted by it. Actual...

If you quote me in any fashion I demand that $.01 from EVERY booksale be donated to the Crystal Awareness Institute. http://www.crystalawareness.com/cai/index.html

This is part of the death meme. Nihilism. nothing, including life, has any instrinsic value. Elite thought is a trojan horse with death inside it. Whether or not the Nihilists and Goths have adopted it, does not detract from its veracity. The value may not be intrinsic, but it is certainly present ...

I've read a couple of Ken Wilbur's books and I like what he says. But it still does not mean that "perfection" is a real thing. Thus, "nobody's perfect" would be entirely correct.

Elizabeth, the earlier post in which you descibed your family was a good read. Well written. I liked your description of your mom as essentially the QRS female with a feminine veneer.

The problem here, as with 99% of the debates in this arena, is the confusion between semantics; specifically a local perfection and a universal perfection. (I'll avoid mathematical examples for clarity's sake on this philosophy board.) For example, a person may discuss a deep well that "descend...

There has never been a perfectly enlightened buddha, That assertion cannot be proven without a cogent argument for the actual impossibility of perfection. You haven't offered any such argument. The opposite burden is in fact the necessary component. A person would need to provide evidence of this h...

Interesting female POV.

I don't see it as an attraction to prepubescents, but rather more a revulsion toward fat on the body. It has a lot to do with an ideal for western cultures in which food is so prevalent. The images of 180cm humans weighing 40kg goes against the grain, in the same way a fashion designer goes against ...

Is there irrefutable evidence that the Twin towers ever existed?
