GENIUS FORUMS

The source of all spirituality and religion is from some lacking in life. "Your emotions are just thoughts in your head. Everything you are is just thoughts in your head." -- Everything is not a thought in our head, that is not logical. Is your head also a thought in your head? And even su...

It is true. I don't want to elaborate much right now since I feel like I would just be repeating things that have already been said here by myself and others. Also QRS have made themselves impervious to what we are saying, so these posts are only for the benefit of those toying with their religion. ...

And then there are the wise people whose knowledge and wisdom isn't affected by the possibility that life is a virtual reality of some kind. There are two types of them: 1) Those who create their own goals and meaning in this "life" place that they find themselves. 2) Those who, for whate...

How do you know there are no machines on the other side? I would like to think the point of the movie is just to show how little we know about life, how we cannot know anything "beyond" our human perspective, whether there is or isn't anything there is not even knowable to us, though relig...

What is the point of glorifying nothingness? What point is there in glorifying suffering? When you turn your back on truth, isn't that what you're doing? No, when you turn your back on nothingness, that is what you are doing. And the point of suffering is to grow, overcome, advance, etc. With these...

What is the point of glorifying nothingness?

A brick wall in itself doesn't have a set thickness, since bricks can be different thicknesses and brick walls can have different amounts of layers of and arrangements of the bricks.

Kelly Jones wrote:Can courage change to become exactly the same as a habit of rationality?

I would say no. Rationality boils down to security, freedom from the intuitions and passions, "solid ground", etc.

Obviously. Clyde is right. If only women hate boring lifestyles I must be a woman. :-S

Anyone with average intelligence can understand the nature of Reality. Males and females both. Many if not most females have the ability to think a range of abstract relationships. So intelligence isn't lacking. Agreed that anyone with average intelligence (and indeed it must be average, neither to...

If you ever make it to the stage where you have cleared yourself of delusional attachments you will look back and laugh at your naivety. (If not the it was not in the Totality's divine plan.)

But without the letters after my name, the work would likely never be published in any scientific journal, regardless of the value of the work - unless it was something really amazing and easily reproducible. Would you aim at anything less? Time to get to work!! :) Interesting fact: Most published ...

Took me 20 years to give it up. The one habit i kept (thanks Army) trying to convince myself i could just by 'not buying' anymore. A field of dreams. (The plan i'd heard about claimed one could rid the nicotine in 3 days)... (i stocked up for 7 days)... What i did, was not eat for 4 days (104 hours...

Well, obviously skip sees a woman discouraging sexually aggressive masculine behavior as a bad thing. I was wondering where he thinks it is written that the act of saying 'No" to a man is equal to that, other than in his own "women-are-only-good-for-one-thing" brain. You misunderstoo...

That is what happens with you combine physical strength/courage with goals/values. However it seems like it is a little premature to do a school shooting on a small high school at the age of 18.

Wow at that.

I would love to be raped by a hot, desirable woman. This is second choice to having a mutual relationship with her of course. (And preferably the rape would involve me being in control..) LOL... there is no such thing as a rape where you are in control. Seriously, holy blueberry bat shit. What plan...

Do you believe you could fly if you "dismantled" away the conceptual barriers called gravity and body mass?

But let's discuss something a little different then: why do we, and indeed women, consider and deeply feel rape (as defined as power trips and violations here) to be more serious than common assaults on men? I have never heard of a man being offered counselling after an assault; I certainly wasn't....

I would love to be raped by a hot, desirable woman. This is second choice to having a mutual relationship with her of course. (And preferably the rape would involve me being in control..) I bet single women would love to be raped by hot, desirable men. They would prefer a relationship where they cou...

Neil: We all already live in prisons (genetic, environmental, psychological, whatever). Part of maturity is accepting this is the case and no longer fantasizing about "true freedom" and romanticism. David: Yeah, that's spiritual death. At root, our prisons are entirely conceptual in natur...

Yeah, I dug Rhett's gem up yesterday and posted it elsewhere as an example of why I can never manage to post here for very long before taking a few days off. That kind of thing is just nuts, and yes, it is evil. ... Beyond Good and Evil .... And BTW, anyone who thinks a "sage" goes around...

Interesting! I don't see how any type of music inspires the mind to higher henids. Unless you ignore the music, it doesn't give you time to think. Music is designed to put one in a state of euphoria, where they certainly are as far away from thinking as possible. Classical and other music might have...

I think women want to submit to hot, wealthy, competent, desirable men. Perhaps some would like to raped, but definitely not by old, fat, ugly guys. And everyone cannot get what they want. Perhaps the old ugly guy wants to rape her, and she doesn't want it. I guess there will be a struggle and the w...
