GENIUS FORUMS

Right. :)

Well, this is rather humorous and true; whether wise I know not. http://www.amotlpaa.org/misc/i-am-not-mad.html On that note, it may be madness to believe your own thought. The more interesting question is just whether you are right, to what degree and how much you are willing to enforce it through ...

Score of 14, straight.

What a strange test though. For the male's, I chose who looked like the nicest fella and would be the funniest to hang around with. In the Brad Pitt pair, that wasn't Brad Pitt strangely enough.

Homo sapiens are only better if you believe them to be better.

Don't know what Nietzsche has said or not, but on reality vs. no reality: There can only be order in the world if there is a reality. If there is no reality, there is only chaos and nothing exists but only true chaos. If there are rules and existences in the world which submit to those rules, then t...

Because dreams (and imagination in general) only exists inside one's brain, in one's skull, as opposed to other people's arms. ..... The neurons, structures and chemicals in your brain and all that is going on there never touches another person's arm during a dream or fantasy. Oh, I misunderstood t...

As far as I can tell there are 4 types of "realness". 1.) The illogical which is never true such as married bachelors etc. 2.) The imaginary which is true only sometimes such as dreams. 3.) The real which is true only thus far such as the physical world. 4.) The ultimately real which is t...

If thinking in terms of duality from "fantasy" to "reality" is bad... Why don't you react to dreams in your waking life? Like if someone cut off your arm in a dream would you only be ok with it because it "grew back" when you woke up? Or would you walk up to them and b...

What is is. It is just terribly confusing what that is. There can only be one reality otherwise it would not be called reality but an alternative out of a series of possibilities of which none may relate to reality. Reality I define as what is - what "really" is - but it is just terribly h...

Morality is a subjective value and evaluation. It is that idea of how a consciousness affects another consciousness. Since all individual consciousnessses (which is the only form there is and probably only can be) is restricted from any absolute truth or single, final truth, all valuation and evalu...

Femininity adapts. Masculinity clings. You can only be conscious if you stand alone.

Good, Truth, Justice, Beauty. As for myself in that sphere, to do what is good, right and true. Beauty adds to the sensory experiences. As an idea of the mind in an imagined world including others, moral perfection. The moral pleasure is the highest for me. Of course, noone reaches any of this absol...

[can anyone prove that the chair I sit on (or anyone else sit on) is not an orange that has a form like a chair? Hi Tenver, just slicing this little bit from your paragraph so if I misunderstand please correct me. The example of the orange and the chair indicate a possible flaw in your argument. Wh...

Not really sure what to say Tenver, nice diagram, although I don't really understand your perspective. What further discover is there to be had if truth is reality and we experience it? The problem is we don't know if we experience it. We can only question it, but it seems to me no train of thought...

http://s20.postimage.org/49l64p1yh/Reality.jpg I think (and seem to agree with you) that everything defers to reality. From reality, we as humans can try to make philosophical statements of truth on which to base our further discovery. Our further discovery we can base on a practical and jagged ins...

'exactly to what degree can we weed out our delusions on reality?' None. The only argument I can make for certain is that I don't know. I don't know if I know something that I don't know or am not aware of or any other possibility that is impossible to exclude or if I don't know anything. I don't kn...

"The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth." - Goethe You must want to escape enough and feel it your duty enough to do it. Only sympathy can make a man undertake his duty of genius - not presenting truth to your fellow humans is lying and you must care enough about ...

"What is the value of being a genius?"

Pain.

"Geniuses are the luckiest of mortals because what they must do is the same as what they most want to do." - Wystan Hugh Auden

Liberation from the self.

I didn't read the post to be honest. I'll just answer with a few sentences anyway. The only logical, coherent system is determinism except for it's one great flaw or mystery. There is no logical counter-part to determinism or any "random" thing (which couldn't then truly be defined as any ...

I do what I must. In that way you can say it is simple, but it is damn hard. I let that impulse guide me of which is necessary. I trust that truth knows for better or worse. To negate from that path of what is necessary would mean death and I have survived so far. In the end, none of us got any of v...

Hello. I just wanted to you reply to you, OP, so I made this account. Genius is something which has man in its power. It is the non-negligible duty to put in to the world what you have in your mind. In that way, you could say it is a moral affair. It is the act of choosing to put forth what you see ...
