GENIUS FORUMS

It's no surprise that the worldly matters forum is even more insane than the main forum.

I don't know why some of the masculinists here criticize feminism when, in fact, they strive for the same main goal of trying to increase the consciousness of women(and men). "Freedom"(if that's what you're referring to) may not always mean consciousness. In my view, feminists advocate fr...

Honest to God... one will only find two kinds of honest women in this world, honesty as in being able to be truthful to oneself, knowing ones nature: the first kind you'll probably find amongst the prostitutes, the other kind would be men. You mean all women are whores? I wouldn't agree with that. ...

Cheap prostitutes are probably the ones who please the lower ranks of men - the less refined ones who just want an orgasm. Expensive prostitutes provide some collateral, mental erotic stimulation(which is why they're expensive.) Women like Josephine Bonaparte(Napoleon's first wife) and Catherine the...

You know what genius forum reminds me of? Haiti. It's like a small island on the internet, and it's filled with people who are absolutely insane. Chaos prevails, and whenever someone tries to bring order, they're put down by the insane majority(in Haiti - machetes, RPGs or T-90s as the situation dem...

I don't think you fully understand what context means, and locking yourself into one and calling it "the context of reason" is not wise. In what context are you saying this? The context of the discussion, duh. You might want to try it some time if you want to have a meaningful discussion ...

I don't think you fully understand what context means, and locking yourself into one and calling it "the context of reason" is not wise. In what context are you saying this? If it's a different one from my own context, then you're not in context and therefore what you say is invalid. That...

It's not possible to do any kind of thinking without making distinctions, that is the nature of thinking. I didn't say it was. It's(the definition of consent) the only one that is reasonable. Again, that depends on the context. The context being - a reasonable definition. So in the context of say, ...

And that "mere convenience" is the foundation upon which we build our understanding of the world in a coherent manner, making anything possible, including enlightenment. Just because differences aren't inherent, doesn't mean they aren't important. Trying to blend everything together as if...

He foolishly extends the nature of absolutes into empirical matters which is a sign of either a severe form of mental rigidity, and/or a flawed understanding of the nature of absolutes. There is no difference between absolutes and empirical truths - at least no inherent difference. The distinction ...

In the context of this forum, I classify people by degrees of intellectual and applied wisdom, not alpha/beta. If that's true then you should put me at the top of that list. :-) The term "insecure beta ape" sounded very much like something the kind of person I described would say - the ki...

I think Carmel was trying to be ironic with the "insecure beta ape" comment. Most probably not. She's the kind of person who likes to classify everybody into "alpha", "beta", "A", "B" and so on without really thinking about the logicality of the cla...

The appreciation of security is narcissistic? Being attached to security is narcissistic. Cause: peaceful and tranquil co-existence => effect: feelings of joy. Cause: death and destruction => effect: feelings of horror/anger/courage to intervene. That's not a good conception of causality. People ar...

It would be like a zoologist who analyses the behaviour of an animal in a cage. Such irony coming from a neanderthal such as you. You're obviously an insecure beta ape who continuously trolls me to try to compensate for his own insecurites, inexperience and lack of wisdom. Although I don't know why...

Also, I don't find your habit of playing armchair psychologist useful. You're not disciplined in your approach. You make rash judgments about people before actually understanding their worldview. Good point. I don't know why a psychologist would tell the subjects what they are going to be tested fo...

His approach in talking about it, however, is very different to Kevin's or my approach, in that he rarely spoke about it directly. If he understood it perfectly, he would have spoken about it clearly and directly. He was too much of an artist. His understanding was like Weininger's understanding in...

The bodhicitta mind is uncompromising, but the body cannot necessarily handle the demands or the pace. So one has to find ways to help the body to help the mind to live according to the spirit for the long haul. Mind and heart(body) are the same. In Sanskrit, the word for mind is also the word for ...

Hakuin had Zen sickness, where his great desire to enlighten himself, staying up meditating night after night, eventually exhausted him and caused him to develop an anxiety disorder by his thirties. He invented this technique to ground himself, because he'd get dizzy spells, chest pains, a roaring ...

People don't have much in the way of values in the first place. As long as whatever is happening is agreeable to a group which they belong to, everything is fine. Christians don't believe in anything at all. Believe indicates a clear consciousness of causality, and truth. What religious people(or al...

In most cases, that's probably true. But sometimes those disorders are reactions to psychiatric illnesses, which can't be solved. But the two things are likely to enforce each other. Of course. And ultimately, nobody can actually solve the problems they have by themselves. If they problems are caus...

Mensa-maniac, what is your IQ? Surely it must be above average, or you wouldn't be a mensa maniac!

Personally, I think most psychological disorders are in the head. The subject is generally able to solve the problem himself, but just couldn't be bothered. After all, why pass on a perfectly good opportunity to be unconscious? I've suffered numerous traumas all through my life(scolded and beaten by...

All you need do is "look past the edges". When you see a person, notice the boundary, and the background. Look at the environment that gives rise to them. Keep forcing the mind to see dualities, and relationships. The context of all dualities, and the reality of how the I, exists will the...
