GENIUS FORUMS

I can't imagine you, of all people here, has a reason to run some illegal copy of Windows XP. So indeed you choose to be victim, and a parasite as well. There are so many dozens of free operating systems, mostly Linux based, that you could use if you want to support free and open source software. In...

Anyway I erased that game again feelin somewhat spooky... ;> You sound a tad paranoid, MrRemarkable :). IT sounds like clever game design, with the AI saying the things most likely appropriate at certain moments, since most game players go through the same situations, again and again. The designers...

Likely a political motivated hacker.

But coincedences happen, it might have been the one posted in at the time of the 'crash' yesterday and been damaged.

It's way more romantic to suspect a hacker though.

Psychology of the Islamic Fundamentalists: 1. It appears that they blame America/Israel for much of the problems in their “motherlands” You might be right here that the militants are using the conflict trying to restore some 'old glory' that is only kept alive in their stories of the past. But ...

For example......[here is another excerpt from Thus spoke Zarathustra] One no longer becometh poor or rich; both are too burdensome. Who still wanteth to rule? Who still wanteth to obey? Both are too burdensome. No shepherd, and one herd! Every one wanteth the same; every one is equal: he who hath ...

Could it be because of the obscurity and slipperiness of the oriental religion that makes it so difficult for people to exploit and thus create a reason for war? There are enough examples of Buddhist and Hindu wars. But never mind, religion only serves here to mask the deeper instincts that ferment...

...it is actually about like having more in common with those who are most like us, relative to those who are not like us. Jews readily accept technology, therefore they are like us, and from being like us we have trade, immigration and many other forms of experiences that cause connections. What m...

Quite frankly I have almost no doubt that if the Arabs didn't have Israel to get all upetty about they'd find something else - their aggression is mostly caused by their religious beliefs. You have to try to see this from a broader perspective. If this conflict was not there, another one would be c...

A relevant afterthought: The word Semite , even if used for 'Jewish' these days, was originally referring to all speakers of the Semitic languages (including Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew and others), or also the ancient tribe the 'Hebrews'. Which cannot be considered Jew or Judean, though perhaps can be ...

Leyla, The word 'Jew' forms, or used to form anyway, an ethnical or religious cultural demarcation. The root for this lies in the history of the Jews, which is not really history but a confusing mixture of history and myth (both at times borrowed from any host country they resided in) that has grown...

A while back, For example: I used to keep in a cage a fake budgie which was always being mistaken as a real one. The important thing here is that you knew it was fake and you observed others being mistaken about it, or appearing to be. It appeared fake to me, but it is impossible for me to be certai...

A while ago already: The true spirit of Post Modernism was meant to be 'open-minded to Meaning wherever it sprung from'... Nah, that's called: making it up as one goes along. Science, thinking the Universe is an artifact with which you can cut this out and cut that out without consequences...could m...

The city has failed us in providing freedom. No doubt about the problems urbanization created. But lets list some more effects for a complete picture. What comes with cities is: - more developed and specialized industrial and business developments (with so many 'slaves' and infrastructure concentra...

Music like literal skill is the enchantment, nothing more than blood red lips and twinkling eyes. Yeah, bah. Music, like the literal skill is evidence of nature more worth itself than appreciation from without. Evidence of nature, sure. Nature is all about enchantment. To keep things moving. Birds ...

Yeah CP, that would be one 'solution', although rather unlikely. But there are also some factions within Israel that could stand up and take control over a state that has grown so militarist. All violence, suicide bombing and so on have causes that are not that difficult to discern. Solutions to thi...

large scale models do not work, more of the population needs to adopt small scale sustainable agriculture on their private properties. If prices would get high enough, they might starting to feel it's worthwhile? People hardly act out of idealism. But why stop at home gardening? People could start ...

I have always appreciated you, Marsha. At your best, I see a depth and fullness of thought through remarkable literary skill that, as you say elsewhere, draws the reader straight into your mind, like a piece of music that speaks without lyrics. Takes a certain union of spirit and mind to achieve th...

Boo Faizi. "Let Israel fend for themselves", too late for that sentiment. They are stuffed to the brim with aid and weapons (yearly a couple of billions by the US, including arms) and protected by US veto in the UN security council for decades. Have Washington on a leash, check out neocons...

An excellent article by Jared Diamond revealing how the move from hunter-gatherer to agriculture and crowded cities actually reduced human life expectancies. There's some interesting link between what Jared Diamond is referring to: Such [agricultural] bands outbred and then drove off or killed the ...

Things are not feminine or anything else, neither are activities like thinking, breathing, talking, or becoming when defined 'stand alone'. Living under the impression that they are, well, that might be called feminine.

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. If there are no gaps there is no emotion. Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion. Hello Sushil, there are some interesting aspects to y...

Tantra is first seeing that you are primarily a male (if you are a man). Then you see that you are also female. These are rudimentary discoveries. In enlightenment, you see what the universal male is - the all-pervading Purusha - without feelings, opinions, activity, thought..... You then see what ...

Diebert, S: I apologize if there is some mix-up. It is not actually that easy to word such things, especially for me. :D D: It's fine. We all have that struggle which is also a challenge. What drives us to try? I wish more people would put such effort and self-criticism toward what they unleash on ...

I'm a Therapist. Often the ones driven to activities like giving therapy resonate deeply with the 'brokenness' of the client. This is how empathy bonds are formed needed to put trust in someone. What drives you toward giving therapy? I look for a moment in a Person's life when they first 'felt' sep...

All Understanding is separation All Remembering is separation All Thinking is separation All Feeling is separation All Sensing is separation All Consciousness is separation Yeah, that's how the Ego 'sees' it. Frankly, that's just awareness. Ego, in Buddhist sense, is attachment to any particular st...
