GENIUS FORUMS

Please pass the potatoes.

It's crystal clear to me.

Not sure if genuine or a troll... Posters on GF with a low post count often give that impression, Poe's Law or something more general. In fact it happens so often that it can lead one to paranoid speculations. For instance, a competent programmer could easily script some makeshift persona managemen...

Indeed, suicide is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.

Who here is in a position to do anything significant regarding existential risk?

8. Never post a thread beginning "I'm curious to know if there is other masterminds out there" and assume anyone has replied to it seriously. It's your funeral.

Does Nature dog a buddha?

Does a dog have Buddha nature?

Does Infinity drive a genius? Does a genius drive an Infiniti?

Why should we, two strangers on the Internet, care what each other calls anything? I hope to enjoy your response later.

But nobody ever managed to lock up wisdom as it sprouts up everywhere all of the time. Indeed, like a sapling in a crack of asphalt, wisdom cannot be contained even in a harsh environment. But why settle for a Desert of the Real? Manifest a non-fatalistic Destiny. I have heard scouting reports of a...

Humans don't have the instincts to pound their digits on magical omniconnective conglomerations of plastic, metal and silicon.

Synthesis proposal: Omnivorous humans were once scavengers.

Getoriks, keep in mind: "Use a thorn to remove a thorn and throw both away", as some Eastern mystics say.

Farewell to you all, my brothers in arms. These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to me Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Ghostbusters (Ghostbusters!) If there's somethin' str...

To attack a shadow (in this case your own) with aggression will certainly be effective at burning your own flesh away, or perhaps your motions are that of one digging his own grave for burial? I can admire that. I'm not suprised you would judge me. But you barely know me. * A bunch of crap Good luc...

I fight humanity's shadow. You just happened to be a part of it.

If that's the purpose of your life, then by all means, be aggressive. Anyone who isn't selectively aggressive is a pawn. Think of spiritual activity as heterogeneous. Now think of the warrior spirit as one half of that heterogeneous whole. Since I am a graduated warrior (and will fight when it suit...

Antagonizing people through subtle forms of aggression would appear avoidable in degrees. Better to accidentally harm someone through the uprising of your own spirit than to behave like a wrestler. Better to be a true wrestler than an uptight phony wiseman, like you. Subtlety can be a kindness. Be ...

Here's something rather scientific to consider: "you cannot antagonize and positively influence at the same time" . Can you provide something peer-reviewed on this subject? Counterexample: What about someone who is in denial of their antagonizable nature? Isn't it necessary to unleash the...

Know your enemy If you are not one of us, you are one of them. The Tao Te Ching (combined with Robert Greene) seems to offer some solid social tools for making your way through society, and if you can get a group of men together who can all learn the language and laws of power, then perhaps a suppo...
