GENIUS FORUMS

Sky: La Verdad: Women can succeed in the entrepreneurial and political realms, (although it's much rarer in the latter). This proves woman can be clever and practical, though it doesn't prove she has a soul. Sky: but the men who err provide for or are provided for by jenna jameson do it might make ...

oh poor pathetic me a female since i am excluded from genius i think i will commit suicide in some dramatic fashion but where To paraphrase Goethe: people reveal themselves most intimately in what they consider laughable. And the fact Sky finds killing oneself over a moral dilemma to be absurd - sa...

La Verdad: The beautiful[..?] brillant take charge woman is largely a character of fiction. Unless by 'take charge' you mean in the sense Jenna Jameson has taken charge of her finances. That breed of woman exists. Sky: please (i had to google jenna jameson) no i was thinking more of the masses of w...

ksolway Quote: This is correct. Women who attain masculine qualities of mind, such as powerful discrimination, focus, consistency, depth, etc, have no barrier. Just because a person is born as a woman is not a guarantee that they will not become wise. Weininger might have thought otherwise, but he ...

I don't think the 2nd ingredient - the mental ingredient - can alone hold a nation together, since it's a just a belief, and building a nation on electrical activity in the brain is buildig a house on sand. How can you say that? Was not everything you yourself (some of which I consider to be astute...

DHodges: You might want to look into it a little deeper before holding up Japan as a model to follow; Japan has its own particular brand(s) of insanity. I disagree with a lot of what Japan does - their ban on firearms being the most notable flaw that comes to mind - though every society has it's in...

The USA is the most diverse country in the world and also the most powerful. What's more impressive is that the USA is so powerful in such a vastly industrialized and developed world. Unlike the empires in the past such as the Roman and Greek Empires, who may have been the most powerful in the worl...

La Verdad and lightsmitten, I am not denying that there are some significant differences between races, which need to be taken into account in certain instances. In fact I am saying just the opposite, and taking it a step further to point out that there are many significant differences between even...

Comparing cars and dogs to human beings is superfluous. You can dice up the human species into as many races as you want, we are still each unique individual humans. Not a single one of us are identical. Firstly I'm not comparing human beings to cars, and secondly the pitbulls & poodles compari...

The shade of a person's skin and genetic makeup varys in each individual. You could argue that technically each person is actually their own unique race. Not really - every definition of race requires an organism to be genetically related to some other organism. It's sort of like arguing that every...

^ ha. served.

I’m from Canada, and I have studied the native history here and most tribes didn’t devastate the landscape, they lived minimal sustainable existences for thousands of years. This is true because there were such small numbers of them with no or little technology that they didn’t have the capab...

Sex & Character - Otto Weininger This book has disturbed me morally more than any other. I'm still re-reading it. There are some Criminal elements of my personality that I really do not want to change. If Weininger commited suicide (and thereby submitted to criminality) I'm not sure if I stand ...

An excellent article by Jared Diamond revealing how the move from hunter-gatherer to agriculture and crowded cities actually reduced human life expectancies. "The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race" http://www.agron.iastate.edu/courses/agron342/diamondmistake.html I don't see ...

Whilst I have little time for what America has become, there's something self-evidently ridiculous about promoting a world where people shoot each other to resolve problems. One might argue that Ray is being metaphoric when he says that, but my intuition tells me that he isn't. Dan Rowden I'd take ...

And the other primary demand of genius (possibly the more important of the two) is universality - the ability to empathize and be in relation to every human (although still be oneself). This is what keeps some people with rigidly, very well defined realities (e.g. a cult member, or Osama bin Laden) ...

Well I'm not a genius, but here's my educated guess at it's primary characteristic: I think the essential quality of a genius is having a well defined reality. Weiniger once said "Core trait of all that is human: seeking for reality." As the genius is the completed idea of man he has a mor...

I think La is a spammer. Spam·mer, n. Someone who Faizi disagrees with. Damn, guess you caught me red-handed. I don't know how I'll live that down. "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." - Jonathan Swi...

I am a drama queen and everything and I don't know nothin.' Save the drama for your mama. The forum is not your emotional tampon. Why women are allowed on a site devoted to "Truth, Courage, Honesty, Logic, Masculinity, Wisdom, Perfection" is utterly beyond me. But I know that I nailed thi...

Oh, I see the freedom you're after is a modest one. I'm almost tempted to say it's unassuming. Freedom from fear of incarceration, recrimination etc. Your new law would be novel for a while. Your society could revel in its philosophically advanced position while dismissing all psychological casualt...

La Verdad wrote: Quote: I believe they should in any society that honestly insists it values freedom. Control over what you do with or to your consciousness is one of your highest rights, it is inalienable. The government has no right (or real ability for that matter) to protect people from themsel...

Quote: Don't give me the 'true statement' bit son. All statements are true in their being statements. "Gravity is a hoax." Is that now true in that it's a statement? or Todd says "I have never told the truth in my life, this statement included." is this true as well - in that it...

LaVerdad writes: Quote: I've heard that an IQ of at least 115 was a requirement of every NSDAP leader. . . This should immediately tell you of the nothingness of IQ tests and scores as regards anything connected with 'genius.' I would be completely suspicious of any mainstream quantification of int...

La Verdad: Quote: "Hitler is not a symbol" Never wrote that, sorry. hmm Bah, Hitler wasn't even a symbol . As a man of his time, as opposed to his own time (which genius amongst us will deny the opposition?) he is recalled for movements, actions, events. His thought? Not at all. He's left...

I'll admit I don't know what's in your head, I'm just sayin what you posted didn't make any sense. If this is a lie, then: 1. I do know what is in your head or 2. what you said 'made sense' and reached a true conclusion. (there are three more possibilities though for the sake of simplicity let's ke...
