GENIUS FORUMS

Maybe for a creepy horror flick... or a thrash metal band. Ha.

You don't think when a guy sees a pretty girl all those physical facts don't disappear in a cloud of ideational vapour? Maybe a better question might be: how can women find men sexually attractive? I mean, they don't really have that same ideational cloud to lose their heads in... Women lose their ...

Yeah, if a person settles on reason they should probably expect and be perfectly ok with others being unhappy about it from time to time. These others might not know it, but it's good for them. :) True! They will probably never be grateful for being unsettled or disturbed, but that's how it works. ...

skipair- It's something I've been thinking about a lot recently, the process of realizing I have no real duty to have things be a certain way, to not automatically try to fill people's expectations, to not be their care-taker. It's been releaving a lot of stress for me. :D I've been trying to do thi...

I understand this resentful viewpoint. If a man gets to a point where he realizes he doesn't need to have anything to do with women, their bodies flaunting around every corner arousing his body is going to irritate him. It's a form of violence - how can he defend against it besides to wear a blindf...

Perhaps a different, more amusing test should be conducted. If a person hasn't attained enlightenment by the time they are 60, they will be given 10 million dollars, a mansion, free medical care and unfettered access to all available pleasures. Those who are enlightened will be given a small hut wi...

K: She is a deception, but that she is only in her second phase and for him who is deceived. She is finiteness, but in her first phase she is finiteness raised to the highest power in the delusive infinity of all divine and human illusions. Not yet is the deception -- but one more instant and a man...

For me there is enough masculinity in individual women nowadays to pretty much ignore the differences in the sexes. "Woman" these days just represents the herd itself, rather than women per sec. It's true that women have become more able to fend for themselves, becoming more educated and ...

Do you have an answer for that?

If David, with a straight face, would say the solution is to kill all the women (doing this actively and not through natural processes), then yes he is a fascist. As it stands, I think he's merely placing value on one idea over another. I don't think Dave would advocate such a thing, mostly because...

You love the fact that he just insulted her? As a joke it was funny. As an insult, I didn't think it was that bad. Certainly not nearly as bad as being called a fascist. "Fascist" = insult to ideology or belief system "Groupie"= insult to character and intelligence Take your pic...

One thing that comes to mind is how splendidly chimps get along when contained in a healthy community lacking any females at all. I had a professor once mention that the ancient Greeks regarded male friendship as the highest form of human connection. It had something to do with the abundance of gen...

Rebecca, hello there, could i ask a favor for myself and other newbies I'm a newer bie than you are... could you clear up this matter of your gender Didn't realize there was a matter with my gender... although it would be fun to play games (*cough**cough*) with my identity, I'm not pulling any tric...

Rebecca: I suggest you read the book because it shows where your ideology will lead. Shahrazad: I haven't yet heard you say the same thing to male chauvinists. Well, to be fair, she hasn't been presented with an equivalent male chauvinist scenario...yet. So let's give her a chance: Rebecca, what do...

Rebecca, thanks for explaining the movie to me. That society does sound a little too fascistic for me. First of all, it's a book, Brave New World , not a movie (it might have been made into a movie, I don't know). Secondly, it was brought to mind because of the fascist leanings in your post. Writte...

Of man there is little here: therefore do their women masculinize themselves. For only he who is man enough, will-- save the woman in woman. I don't actually remember this passage or the broader context, so this interpretation may be way off, but I think he's saying that only "real" mean,...

Shaz- Shaz, have you read A Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)? No. Tell me about it, if you are so inclined. Sure, it's a futuristic novel where the gov't has successfully cloned various classes of people each specialized to fill certain roles in society based on their genetic makeup. I'm having a har...

Shaz, have you read A Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)? Your post was truly terrifying. You're not even the type of man who is the real problem. If you really wanted to help, you'd have to kill shitloads of men. I found this on the web: When genetic control is possible—and soon it will be—it goes wit...

Dan- Yeah, I felt at first the context wasn't very relevant to the woman thing, but now I realize again, he's equating all this behavior (hypocrisy, comfort-seeking, cowardice) with woman. Here's a bit more (This is the Thomas Common trans. p 189-90): I pass through this people and keep my eyes open...

Yes, you've finally seen the light. Save what little face you have left and go quietly. Spare us the time and clean-up.

Or, women will seize access to the scientific laboratories, kill all the men and take all the sperm and create a man-free world! We wouldn't even need to take any sperm. We just need to acquire the technology to conceive babies based on non-reproductive cells, and men will be completely obsolete. T...

Or perhaps (dreaming big) they will escape into philosophy and wisdom..... Yeah, that would be nice. Or, women will seize access to the scientific laboratories, kill all the men and take all the sperm and create a man-free world! That is what the radical feminist Sonia Johnson (the ex-Mormon who ra...

While we are on the topic of Woman (again), I found the following in Thus Spake Zarathustra - it is when he comes back to the mainland and observes people and how much "smaller" they have gotten in his absence: Of man there is little here: therefore do their women masculinize themselves. F...

Jamesh, ...is it really women creating the circumstances in the first place? Not consciously. It is the power of evolution working through them (and through men) which creates these circumstances. I would agree. It is definitely unconscious, collective thing, this cult of Woman. It works through myt...

Reviving this thread to post what I think is an interesting perspective on religion. I was watching the MenoftheInfinite video Spirituality v Religion and felt there's an interesting point there about the herd mindset and the taboo against isolation/antisocial behavior. After all, the feminine mind ...
