GENIUS FORUMS

You may find this essay interesting. It has some good and not so good analysis of Nietzche's concept. http://www.ul.ie/~philos/vol8/nietzsche.html Thanks Ataraxia, I will check that out. Your recommendation to check out the "ubermensch" concept was what got me reading Nietzsche to begin w...

I don't get that. Why would they be attracted to "loser" types? Because of the lack of Will to Power in those men? It's because they incite the "mother" instinct in her, and because that is her primary expression of Woman and the source of her self-valuation, that incitement is ...

I doodled, as I usually do, on a small study card. One box represented person A. The other box represented person B. Assuming monogamy and fidelity, person A focuses exclusively on person B, represented by an arrow. Person B focuses exclusively on person A, represented by an arrow in the other dire...

So Dan, the "raw Will to Power" (you mentioned earlier in the thread) women are attracted to is the conscious drive for survival that men have? I actually missed Sher's previous question about that: what I mean by "raw will to power" is simply a man's drive, energy and purposefu...

Ah. I am just not hip with the South Americans.

Alex, I could not find "imprescindible" in the dictionary. I tried spelling it other ways. What word did you mean? Un-rescindable?

What men value is Woman, in every sense that term entails. They seek a biological woman to embody this. Men sometimes choose a specific woman, but not always. They think they've done the choosing, but they don't recognise the subtle signals that a woman gives out when in reality she's chosen him . ...

Ignius, I've heard it said that when 2 people are having an interaction, there are actually 6 people present. There's you, there's your idea of you and how you think you're presenting yourself, then there's your idea of what the other person is thinking of you. And the same for the other person. I d...

I could call myself a man if I wanted to - but I won't because it's confusing. I agree that it would be confusing if you were to do that. It all depends on how you define these things. Take for example the "Men of the Infinite" series. Do you think that means only males? They state that i...

I don't know if there's anything worth thinking about it all of that, but the general idea was that 99% of people want love. They might say they want truth, but they want love. This pretty much sums up the guy I'm currently talking with in the comments section of my Youtube vid, When a Man Loves a ...

Since she also used the same collective term to refer to men and people in general in this same thread, I'm not sure your point has much merit. But since she's not a man then it's entirely proper and expected that she'd refer to men as "they" and not "us". As for "people&qu...

For Bog's sake! this is getting old.

To what extent does an illusion exist?

Exactly.

Nietzsche says time is infinite, but I think it's actually the same as saying it doesn't exist. Do you think so?

Right, right. That is true, he does not think there is anything off about it. In his paradigm, anything that seems better is an improvement. It's like saying you're doing good as long as you're moving, never mind what direction you're headed in.

I've seen it, but have no real memory of it other than thinking it was passingly interesting. The problem with this sort of technology, if it were possible, is that it would just be replacing one set of delusions with another (or, really, placing the same set of delusions within a slightly differen...

How much harm has been done in the name of niceness!?! I guess if I spent 7 years as an orange-people-person, I might be a little too warm and fuzzy also. What's with this idea that you can help people along, or be a guidepost along the path, or be a finger pointing at the moon, when you aren't DONE...

What's wrong with an infinite regress? The alternative is something causa sui (self-creating) is it not? The idea of an infinite regression of causes going back forever is also based on a faulty concept - in this instance, the concept of a thing. The regression springs out of the inherent limitatio...

I've always found the best way to tackle the issue is by seeing into the paucity of women's minds and discerning how incredibly dull they are. Behind the razzle-dazzle of woman there is almost nothing going on. As such, wanting to have sex with a woman is like wanting to have sex with a person with...

He's another one of these people that make up the vast web that misleads sincere seekers: the network of teachers and organizations that claim to know what enlightenment is... but obviously don't. I was a bit confused by his description of "the enlightened relationship" wherein the woman g...

I stand informed.

That was great.

When a man ejaculates into a woman's birth canal, she becomes "infected with progeny" (Kurt Vonnegut). When you get down to brass tacks, the whole thing is pretty laughable.

It's just sad, like you say. What are these guys really getting out of it? Isn't it obvious? Do I really have to spell it out for you? OK, here it goes: S-E-X. Of course, can't you see I meant what else . They can't possibly be learning much or using the "relationship" to enhance their un...

Suffice to say I find it all kinda amusing in a way that's tragic. You just summed up all of American culture. ;o) You've probably heard of David Deida if you've watched those type of DVDs... he writes some supposedly-enlightened-relationship-type books which I browsed one of. His books could be fo...

I am very interested in the topic of guilt because it is (unfortunately) a part of my everyday life all too often. I realize that pride can be the other end of the pendulum and that the ego can indulge in one while seeming to the individual that it is the opposite. Guilt is useful to me in many ways...

You mean I can't just write it all off as delusion and ignore it? Damn.
