Men whom think they are all knowing.
Men whom think they are all knowing.
One who imagines himself to be all-knowing will surely suffer on account of his ignorance.
I think that's what gives women power on a worldly level. They don't know the "big truths" but they don't care, while men kind of do, at least a bit (even, in fact quite often, criminal types).
So on a worldly level women seem freer, but worldliness isn't the only thing worth having.
It was Weininger who said "Innocence is ignorance. To know and remain innocent is the highest".

avidaloca must be martian for 'virgin'. Was your mother ignorant, or your sister, or your father for hanging with those ignorant ones? Women are the most natural philosophers on earth. Imagine living with some revolting form of life whose primary concerns were tv, food, beer, and probing you from time to time. Wouldn't that make you wonder about why?avidaloca wrote:I think that's what gives women power on a worldly level.

On a worldly level, yes, as I said before. On profound truths outside the worldly or everyday sphere, I don't see much interest from them in that, or there would be more evidence. Knowing how to get on in the world isn't truth or enlightenment/freedom of the greatest kind.Women are the most natural philosophers on earth.
Propelller, I propose we exchange names: avidaloca means "the crazy life".

Outside the worldly sphere? Are you trying to build Ptolemys universe again. If there is such a thing as truths outside, what makes you believe a man could see them and woman cannot? Nothing about carrying a baby makes a woman retarded. Talking to men makes a girl retarded, and now it is working on me. Trying to fit a mould of beautiful or acceptable or pleasing are all things that make a girl seem retarded, but they are not. They have a grasp of eternal truths, like Jesus, or like Buddha because their first conscious act is to accept that no matter how first rate they are as human beings someone is always going to consider them last because of their sex. That is the stupidity of culture. We think we can figure it out without them. We think we can figure it out for them. This is missing the whole point, which I guess most women do not do.avidaloca wrote:On a worldly level, yes, as I said before.

Pleased to meet you avid. My name means hat with a propeller on it. A stupid name, I know, but to make fun of all the dexters. I would change it if I could figure out how. I don't see it as an option. bye.
Know-It-All
Is there a difference between knowing it all and knowledge of The All?
Maria called the police department
On a Sunday afternoon
''My husband's gonna kill me
Please send somebody soon''
''Where is he, ma'am,
Is he at your door
Has he got you now -
Can you tell me more''
''Please'', she said, ''his brother called
He's on his way with a gun''
''Sorry ma'am, not good enough
Why'd you dial 911?''
She knew he was mean
He'd hit he before
She hung up the phone
And locked the door
James Brown said it was a man's world
And women don't matter
A little slap - they'll claim they're battered
They're hysterical, emotional and love will make then fall
Tomorrow she'll forget that it happened at all
Domestic quarrels are routine
There's no need to waste a cop
Especially in that neighborhood
Those people never stop
But her husband showed up
Just like she said
No one would listen
Now Maria lays dead
In the city of angels, there's no mercy
And there's no tomorrow
For Maria Novarro
