Forget humanity and forget females. Fuck them! This is about you. Try not to address the matter in any sort of collective way. Even if you make progress, you can't necessarily extrapolate and project that success onto others, women or men. You may simply be exceptional. If and when such "success" happens, then you can consider those others, if you happen to be of that proclivity. From there it's very much just a scientific experiment that one engages in.rebecca702 wrote:Mm, I meant hope for humanity, and female-kind. That it is actually possible for us to stop being stupid. It makes me work harder, seeing that the possibilities are wide open. Maybe "hope" is not the right word. I will have to think about that.Dan Rowden wrote:McKenna doesn't do heart; I don't do hope. Hope is a poor substitute for real purpose and determination. It can be a trap, one that we rest in when we should be working, like a comfy sofa.rebecca702 wrote:Girls do like gurus. It's fun, directing your "devotion" onto something tangible. I think the sheer number of females in this position is what makes McKenna write the way he does. Over and over, he provides himself [fictional] opportunities to act from the male/female divide, and he doesn't. He treats the women like possible enlightened beings just like the males. But why would he do this if there are NO enlightened females on the planet? Beats me, but that is why I think he's a revolutionary. It gives me hope.
You really have to let others look after themselves right now. Their level of delusion isn't necessarily here nor there for you. You see the issues, at least to some extent, right? They don't, right? So, in that fact alone you've moved ahead. Might that possibility be so for those others? Who knows; who gives a fuck. Those others don't!
