GENIUS FORUMS

In fairness -- and I have a highly developed sense of it -- I am going to offer you a second go.

I am very disappointed by this inane post.

Intellect is the foundation of consciousness. No intellect, no human consciousness. This is an absolute statement. There is no way not to 'bow to the intellect'. To imply that it is possible, or advisable not to cultivate intellect, is as if to propose that one not have consciousness, not perceive a...

Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken. Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Br...

I'm tripping on your metaphors.

I am farther along on the path you know in shadow.

Since the devilish Times puts it articles behind a pay wall, here is the text of the opinion piece I quoted from (and only because it mentions a few interesting terms and concepts): In August 1990, George H.W. Bush met Margaret Thatcher in Aspen right after Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. The p...

In August 1990, George H.W. Bush met Margaret Thatcher in Aspen right after Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. The pair resolved not to allow Iraq’s “naked aggression” to stand, and it did not. This was how the West was supposed to work — and how, sometimes, it did. Today the U.S. and Great Brita...

My Dear & Darling Children: Each & All, receive my blessing. ::: mysterious outflow of effervescent luminous energy like a shimmering cascade ::: It's a strange road we've been down, isn't it? You didn't know it was going to turn out like this, did you? Miracle of miracles. I want each of yo...

Except I am really wonderful. Really. Europe loves me. America. South America. Even Tasmania . . .

Excellent! So thoughtful! Give me a kiss before you ascend. It's only fair . . . You leave me to have to imagine everything. Dear Eric . I read your striking comments and, then and there, was transported into the luminous mists of The All. Unable to speak I gazed out into Infinity and, swoosh, I dis...

When the mass-broadcasting of information, policy-making and interpretation of events are monopolised by a few people, there is fascism. That also applies to practical/technical fields like medicine to the extent people in general don't understand and cannot control how it affects their lives. Fasc...

Cultural Marxism is a term borrowed from the work of the Frankfurt school and adopted by right wing public intellectuals to convince their audiences that *natural* yet often annoying or even disruptive trends within trivial domains of political discourse collectively represent a sinister conspiracy...

Secret communications should not be allowed! All these secret 'back-door' parlays (as Pie once said) should be made public. Pam with Avolith. Avolith with Eric. Avolith with David, Diebert, Jupi. Oh this is just wrong . No one is sending me private communiques. (I don't even get 'board warnings' fro...

I am democratic and very fair in my crushes. I have a crush on all of you . . .

It’s the Tao. Causality. It’s what I have been determined for since long before my birth.

Classic liberalism rose in specific circumstances, with established rules & regulations, with norms & limits. It is -- it was -- a sophisticated and evolved system that depended on the raising up, the cultivation of, a responsible citizen. Our present 'hyper-liberalism' is something differen...

Far simpler: choose not to meddle.

I could say that, and indeed that is the only choice possible. But I suggest -- politely of course -- that on a forum like this it is best not to deliberately kill a thread. Your logic would be -- is -- that it might be best to kill a topic so that a new one will develop. Why not 'kill' all of them ...

As far as I am aware I did not bring up Trump at any point. What I did bring up is perhaps encapsulated here: Well, there you have a general outline. We are at a very odd juncture in our civilization. In my view this is the first order of business and where consciousness needs to be focused. We need...

I just want to politely make mention of the fact that when you meddle in the threads, Brother Diebert, you destroy them.

Every time.

And you do that for that purpose.

Your meddling does not serve a creative purpose.

As per the usual, you get stuck in superficials as you drench yourself with them. But don't think I don't appreciate high-conceived insults! There is no better kind. One must get aphoristic with it! My main point, and one of the major commentaries I have about you, is only that your own stance is li...

Can you cite, say, 4 examples of different news sources/publications that use the term "Cultural Marxism" in earnest, and does not also support a version of racism or fascism? The hard part of that will be the problem I tried to describe above: all serious sources already have been attack...

If only more thinkers would bravely explore new lines of thought with the same conviction yet there is always the danger of finding a point beyond which their attachment to their ideas will become the obstacle that renders them unable to pass into the pure Logic of the All. Good Lord. Will no one c...

For some reason, not unlike Quinn these days, you are imagining I actually have or at least should have some political or ideological stake in this. Or some obsession with semantics. Or maybe you are looking for that yourself in some desperate act. But I'm just studying and facilitating opportuniti...

If there's a disease, it's not liberal, it's simple brain rot in the ones campaigning and attacking the loudest or simply getting high on some form of social passion. And you might have been infected perhaps together with the people you hang out most with, who perhaps don't dare to disagree? The te...

What a marvelous and productive conversation! You have completely avoided the topic for particulars of zero importance.

You've gotta be a genius to pull this stuff off...

JmStewart has offered a picture of a sort-of metaphysical view of *the world*. Understood this way, his vision takes shape in one observer who develops a mental picture of the world from 'above' it. His view of complex natural phenomena is only semi-metaphysical since it seems to be just an observat...
