GENIUS FORUMS

In the end, there's just no way for either of us, or anyone like us, to verify such things.

There's plenty that's verifiable though, big obvious stuff. The details are really just a matter of morbid curiosity.

I thought that, big bloke's hands.

It's probably a tranny.

Oh yeah!

We all humans are monkeys aren't we.

Yep, I suppose it's not about being top dog per se. It's more motivated by the desire for the trappings of being top dog.

Tsk tsk, there's an aesthetically appealing aspect to the correct spelling of jeopardy too ;-)

The will to compete, often at any cost; masculine or feminine?

Hehe,

Red pill or blue?

<r>Think I started a topic about this a while back but that'll be a gonner now. I was pretty shocked that the Beeb showed it really - so much truth about political manipulation and the manufacture of consent just laid bare.<br/> <br/> I've got all 3 episodes on video and on my hard drive in Mpeg for...

I've read it all Lou but I'm afraid I don't have the time for that.

<t>Well, I think you're right, in one way you've lost sight and in another you're zeroing in. You've lost sight of what were probably farily shallow original reasons for undertaking your reprogramming via inculcation (and rightly so) and yet you're homing in on the target, in that your quest for a m...

<t>Lou,<br/> <br/> I can see the practical utility in your belief system and the affirmation involved in the developing of your model. It's a simple, even elegant, system which many could make use of and more importantly, many could buy into the reasoning behind it.<br/> <br/> I can see that you tru...

You should apply to go on Big brother David.

That would be so right and so wrong in so many different ways.

I couldn't trust myself to answer that in sufficient detail.

The unenlightened mind is too capricious.

If we're consistent with the definition, that is impossible.

According to which particular set of the values I hold?

<t>The way I see it, it's about attachment, not attachments. Ascetism removes one from the triggers of most of their attachments alright, but it doesn't go to the heart of attachment.
