GENIUS FORUMS

I wish to make a further acknowledgement of Kevin: Sky wrote that Kevin wrote: ksolway Quote: This is correct. Women who attain masculine qualities of mind, such as powerful discrimination, focus, consistency, depth, etc, have no barrier. Just because a person is born as a woman is not a guarantee t...

Kevin wrote: I don't agree with the definition that a person with a high IQ is a genius. You will notice that the page of quotations on genius I gave you a reference to (and which is also linked to at the top of the forum) made no mention of IQ. Only an average IQ is required for genius. But the oth...

No apology is needed for this. I'm still unclear about your perception. Do you beleive God is a separate entity? a force intertwined with us? part of us as we are part of Him as a force? as a non-force? a Concept such as the distillation of all truth currently known as well as that which is not yet ...

Yes, dear. *grin*

I don't know if men are more insecure. It's probably just more visible.

It is actually not very visible to most women.

David wrote: The power of single-mindedness should never be underestimated. Phrased that way, I find that to be extremely truthful. I glimpse the power of single-mindedness, and I have a separate category of honorable respect for those who determine that there is something so much more important to ...

David wrote: Don't worry, you can know everything that frank has to say simply by reading one of his posts, Actually I wasn't worried about that. David wrote: Frank can still read the forum if he wants, so he won't be deprived of whatever wisdom is being expressed here, unless he chooses to be. That...

read the article. go for the money. I wouldn't lie about it though - but perhaps you could think about what it really means. You can claim that you were abused without feeling victimized. That would be truth, IMO.

emma, what do you believe that God is?

Background: I couldn't find my references on this, but there's a guesstimated 85% chance that the published background data regarding the physiology of male vs female brains is from Newsweek , 10% chance it's from Psychology Today and 5% chance it's from Scientific American ; timeframe at least 2 ye...

Sure - sorry about that.

He talks about God in the traditional Christian sense. It's all a matter of interpretation. Jesus used to talk about his "Father", but this doesn't mean he was talking about a different person. I agree. I also believe that traditional Christian teachings are significantly different from w...

(edited to add acknowledgement) David wrote that Ankit wrote: what you refer to and what people understand may be very different That happens too often. That is why effective communication is transmitting a thought from one to another and ensuring that it is received as sent. Sometimes that leads to...

Okay, I got it now. Thank you David.

I really liked that page; thank you for directing me there. David - here's one that made me think of you: Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius. Wolfgang A. Mozart Here are some that reminded ...

I left out "insufferable."

millipodium: How terrible can a misplaced thread be? Awful. Dastardly. Heinous. Horrific. A highly regrettable misdeed indeed. Really rather tragic. Terrible, quite terrible. Terribly terrible. Atrocious, even. Pitifully shameful, yet shamefully pitiful. Doubtlessly beyond reprehension. Possibly tr...

Tharan, I am relieved that you do not feel deprived of your foreskin. Reading the article, I recognized the truth in it. I hope that circumcised men do not get distraught over their circumcisions, but I also hope that new recognitions can be made so that the next generations can benefit from the new...

Often the stupidist people on the planet are those with high IQ. Very true. Unfortunately IQ doesn't coincide with sense, rationality, real-life intelligence, or wisdom. No, but it gives those things a good running start. Maybe I'm lost - I thought I was posting on "Genius Forums" and the...

DQ: I agree it is important to recognize that we are all actual, breathing, human beings. That is why, for example, Kevin, Dan, and I have been open with our lives, publishing our real names, photos, personal details, private letters, etc, on our various sites. We want to show that we are real peop...

The author seems to think that God and humans are separate. It looks like he also thinks that humans are chips of refuse compared to God, and the only way they can make themselves worthwhile is to admit their lowly nature and reach out to this all-powerful separate being who can transform them into ...

Alright, it had been a long time since I had my IQ tested - 4th grade actually. I'd tested in the 99th percentile on a few sections of the standardized test they gave at the end of the 3rd grade, and I did close to that well on most of the rest of it (my mother had convinced the teachers that I was ...

That's a fictional show.

I never realized how awful that is. It really is abuse.
