GENIUS FORUMS

Rational persons manage to act decently towards others and work towards goals improving all Mankind. You THINK you are doing this but you're only adopting rhetorical-philosophical techniques greatly admired by the likes of Stalin and Hitler. Don't get me wrong, I don't claim you=H or S...You just br...

In a Weininger-esque society women would automatically get disqualified from a serious intellectual discourse because of her so-called inferior psychology. No. Weininger believed in judging people on an individual basis. Each person is judged on their merits. This is positive. In Weininger's view, ...

You have a better knowledge of Weininger than I do, so correct me if I'm wrong: 'Feminine' is equivalent to 'flowiness': a tendency to easily conform with others and never standing up for what you believe. I wouldn't call this 'flowiness' a 'feminine' thing though... I would call it 'passiveness'-a ...

You're a funny guy, Dan.

One more thing:

Why did Weininger label everything psychologically and morally bad 'feminine'?

Couldn't he have prevented much confusion and tragedy if he just called it 'unvirtuous' and then explain what this adjective means in full detail?

-If that was directed towards me, I meant no harm.

I agree on your points except two: Your talk about female psychology and that my example is not dedicated to spreading E and W. You just happen to dismiss her off the bat, just because she hasn't chosen your field of expertise. It's only been a few decades women have been allowed to institutes of hi...

-The Buddha needs to eat, sleep, wank and walk regardless what he thinks about reality.

It's good to finally agree, David Quinn.

That's the funny thing. He claims he doesn't care, yet he goes to great lengths to describe how he is being seen and how he is impacting and being impacted upon. Once you are aware of this in his writing, it becomes more and more significant, and distracting. I'm finding his works full of incongrui...

-You need explanation? Look at literally everyone's posts here. Would you call this more than gaming? I wouldn't. -Have you ever seen the movie Ice Age? If you haven't, go rent it. Observe the squirrell holding on to his nut, looks familiar? It's basically what every man and woman in life does. If y...

Dan, How does anyone know the answer to the question of what is or is not more or less important without wisdom? By guessing? Victor here would say: "you are equivocating the meaning of wisdom", or something like that. He well might, but fortunately I have no interest whatever in anything...

Bump for relevance: - David Quinn was talking about women becoming more masculine. The relevance of my post? These 2 examples show women actually taking the lead in research(=manly) and advancing the idea of Enlightenment instead of just endlessly pontificating about it on a webforum. A webforum wh...

Where does all this hostility come from? It seems to have come out of the blue. Where is your sense of humour? I'm just collecting your philosophical positions and telling you why they are flawed. Now if all those things you confessed about yourself are all jest..then we can steer this discussion i...

Very few are banned. And they are not banned simply for having dissenting views. I remember Laird being asked to leave. Yes, that happened here . David Quinn's own words: It's there in everything you write, both directly and indirectly. Even when you are discussing pure philosophy, it's done in a w...

I'm not sure I do...Please explain.

Unless the QRSH are actually a parody of jaded philosophers...my point still stands. The examples I've given, have at least lived a little instead of gaining their "wisdom" from "Holy Scriptures". My post was humorous but had a point, mocking you to put you in the group with sen...

Philosophy is game-playing so you better develop a temperament for it. Socrates knew this too.

-Here is one quote to begin with: "The Jew's sin is smirking at the Good, as the simpleton's sin is smirking at wisdom." Don't you think it's fishy categorising all Jews as people "smirking at Good". No, what I think is fishy is plucking a quote like that out of the context of W...

Make a guess and I'll elaborate.

Haha, the zealot-patrol just pulled a fast one again.

Anything I've witnessed on your site-from the radio shows to your own writings prove without fail that you share a lot more than 1% of OW views. What does "Outcast" mean? Hating women, yourself and life so much...you actually shoot yourself at 23. I don't think there's any evidence that h...

I agree Cognition. Whatever makes you feel and act good...pursue it, as long as it doesn't include stealing other people's rights and dignity.
