It also depends what you mean by violence. Indeed. Violence: 1. swift and intense force. 2. behaviour involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill. 3. rough or immoderate vehemence, as of feeling or language. Which? And in which context---human on human, animal on animal, animal on hu...

Did you ever consider that you’re entire radical view is the affect of not being able to handle the uncertainty of the future? I have considered such an effect, but I'm not uncertain. Did you ever consider that you're a 'house nigger' trying to convince an escaping 'field nigger' how wonderful it...

Nor, Ever heard of Jung's personality theories? I read some of his stuff a while back (1993 or so--- Man & His Symbols), but it's a little foggy; psychology is too feminized for my taste, especially Jungian. Why do you ask? The scoring was illogical. Heh. You responded as a right brained person...

Why did you post this? Did you think we were all just sitting around here asking ourselves "When is Kelly Jones going to return? Who is she going to talk to? What will she be talking about?" Kelly, your ego rivals the ego of Aaron Mathis. I was waiting. I look forward to intelligent discu...

if human lives can be saved by sacrificing a few hundred monkeys, why not? If a few monkeys' lives can be saved by sacrificing a few million human beings, why not? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Here's another context: if white lives can be saved by sacrificing a few hundred blacks, why not? It'...

And you don't think at all. It's okay, sweetie. Run along now and get some cookies. Men are talking.

Existences' "meaning" is inherent unto itself, existence and its meaning are inseparable. To search for the meaning of existence is to adorn existence with meaning, to "find" the meaning of existence is to realize there is nothing outside the mind's applied meaning to discover, ...

Honestly, if you said you spend your days thinking about money and sex, and your sole aim in life is to achieve more of both, and you organize your life around that purpose... that would be normal. Yep. That would be normal. They would have had nothing to call you insane about (supposing you didn't...

Perhaps we both need to do more observing. I have come to terms with the fact that a great many more females are idiots than I previously noticed, but I'm also noticing more male idiocy than I previously noticed - and I'm recognizing that it's of a different variety. Differentiate between whether t...

Here is a psychologist's report from the same period: part one , part two , part three , and part four . And here is a translation of this report. - Wow. Much more normal than I am---well, I presume that was many years ago. (Edit---yeah, 1993.) In the past month, David has again occasionally abused...

I've studied overpopulation for well over a decade and all of these suggestions have been thought before, and have resulted in nothing more than temporary conversation pieces; nothing, not one practical solution, has come from any of it. Over twenty years and counting and no one has a bloody clue (a...

The next time you Spockites eat something, stop for even a moment and consider what violence happened in order for that food to be available... Surely you don't think a cow voluteered, after being convinced to do so through logical argumentation, to become your dinner...? ;) (If one of you is haught...

Sue, very well put. This--- This fellowship of man is something women have no knowledge of. Only men know it because of their shared goal. That is why even the most jaded man: one who is trapped in a marriage, a job and a mortgage, will still retain a degree of respect for those men who go all out a...

Sounds like you're an advocate of "balance". Maybe you should direct this wisdom to the "Balance" thread in the main Genius Forum. Depends what is meant by "balance"---most things around here have different meanings from the ones to which I've become accustomed. Emphas...

You cannot know the future, you are talking out of your ass again. Of course I can. Any thinking, open-minded person can.... The large boulder is rolling downhill towards a cliff; there's approximately twenty meters until it rolls over the edge; its mass, the angle of the slope, and the boulder's i...

Yes I do value success. And this man has mastered something beneficial to human consciousness Beneficial in what way? and made major advancements in his field of study (he obviously knows his role in the orchestra of life). Damn, you assume a lot and appear pretty gullible. Do you ram your fist int...

Okay, this ethic of blaming the victim has upset my belief structures. "I'm not raping you, you are being raped." That's not a good analogy---if one has any awareness of oneself, feeling something will be a choice. Often rape is by force, being physically subdued---no one's forcing you to...

I happened to be watching a TV show last night about these two British guys who go live with some indigenous people in West Papua. ("Living with the Kombai Tribe" on the travel channel.) It really drove home a few points that I think people tend to forget about subsistence living. First, ...

So, amoebas don't resist anything?

It never ceases to amaze me how weakling, childish humans strive for things they can never obtain, like the addiction or the self-deception of "happiness." Oh come on this man is accomplished in something at least. You no doubt value success highly. He mastered something in his life. Pleas...

I was reading these tales about someone who worked in a tattoo parlor and this one time some skank came in who wanted her pussy pierced, but she had a really runny yeast infection that he was trying to mop up in order to see what he was doing. That was the most disgusting story I've ever read. Ugh,...

Because you say isn't, little one, it's precisely relevant.

со&am wrote: hey, are you annoyed?

Would it annoy you if I were?

Oh boy, two Hi-Tech Apologists now... This looks like a rather limited view on these things. Somehow you set some rigid expectations based on some vision of walking talking self-sufficient droids (a "straw droid") and then you try to nok it over. I'm sure it does look that way. Instead of ...

You're imposters, the whole lot of you. Why does that bother you? I claim to be a Whateverist, and that's exactly what I am. You look like Zen monks, but you don't understand Zen. I look like a shaggy hobo, which I understand very well. You remind me of the monks in the teaching schools -- but you ...

As a first step, "deconstructing the feminine" is extremely useful in loosening man's attachment to her. Another step is looking deeper into man's emotional need to be accepted by her. Understanding how these emotions undermine man's ability to reason and use logic, is necessary for furth...
