GENIUS FORUMS

[*] "The more words, the stronger the argument. Write a big essay to overwhelm others with the appearance of a big idea."

[*] "Lots of big words, unusual words, references to authors, show that I know what I'm talking about."

[*] "I don't like criticism."

[*] "I skim read almost all the time."

[*] "I distrust authorities, because they are trying to manipulate somebody."

[*] "Someone who talks a lot about themself is arrogant, because those who are very experienced are humble and say very little."

[*] "If I copy the way others write, who are specialists, then I am close to being a specialist."

[*] "I would rather not have a deep and meaningful conversation every day. Once a week is more than enough."

[*] "I am very willing to have a philosophical conversation with someone who wants to know all about me."

[*] "I like people who accept me for who I am. If they don't like me, then I don't like them."

[*] "I think I think a lot. I would be very surprised if someone pointed out that my self-expression is incoherent."

[*] "I enjoy having an emotional life."

[*] "The world is my oyster. I can have any adventures I like, anywhere, anytime."

[*] "People who criticise my ideas don't really understand them."

[*] "I am willing to listen to criticism if the person offering the criticism respects that I might know better."

[*] "An enjoyable and fulfilling career, having enough money, good health and good friends, is more important to me right now than having a good intellectual life."

[*] "I cannot possibly live alone and just drop everything to be a thinker. I wouldn't know how to start."

[*] "I like having arguments where others are made to feel bad, and begin to appreciate my value better."

[*] "I treasure most the books that speak of something noble and rare, that I read in solitude on my holidays. They are my private gold. "

[*] "Literature written in the first person, that warns me it is a serious matter, is very frightening. I would rather not read that for a long time, until I have a lot of spare time."

[*] "I like to underline words, write in the margin, and generally treat a book as a rough draft to be edited or translated."

[*] "I rarely read everything written in a book, and often start in the middle, or at the end."

[*] "If I am alone, others think there is something wrong. They might think I'm being rude. So I try not to be alone for long."

[*] "I like music that communicates my emotions to others."

[*] "When I'm feeling aggro, I imagine there is really a force-field around myself, that I'm mentally creating to push others away."

[*] "I feel safe and happy at the beach. There is a Big Friendly Bio-spirit looking after me."

[*] "My philosophy is to be co-operative, to say something helpful that others need and want to hear. I will give my true thoughts only when there is a socially-accepted exit very close nearby."

[*] "Someone who talks a lot about themself is arrogant, because those who are very experienced are humble and say very little."

[*] "I cannot possibly live alone and just drop everything to be a thinker. I wouldn't know how to start."

[*] "I like having arguments where others are made to feel bad, and begin to appreciate my value better."
