Thwarted ambition in pursuing the 'mating rituals' can certainly affect one's objectivity... Is there anything more tragi/comic than the 'crestfallen suitor'? Perhaps the Philosophy Game is a refuge for some of those who 'tried and failed' in the larger strategy of Nature to get it's next generation...

Don't you guys have anything better to do than spin this kind of drivel? "Sub-standard material" indeed. David I don't understand why this is still being discussed. sschaula Think about how things are caused, and how they cause other things. Think about your computer, what it's made of. Think of br...

I'm not enlightened and I wouldn't claim it...you do inspire me to think and thankyou for that...and perhaps you can point me to where I haven't got the picture right... How does a person become "empty" and not become poor (in attachments) at the same time? Or are you talking about a kind of pseudo-...

Calling enlightenment a booby prize and listing the outer poverty aspects of the enlightened life is to omit the very meat of enlightenment itself. It is a shallow characterization to make. OK you've got some kind of dualistic thinking happening where an 'outer life' of poverty somehow kind of repr...

I have to have an appearance of some kind, so I can't escape these issues entirely. Yes, it is absurd. ...and it is fun to take Occam's Razor to the Beards of the prophets...well, that is apart from the skin rash...hahaha Man, you are shallow. Thankyou. The 'emptier' I get the more delighted I beco...

I think it would be fair to call "QRS" a "counter-culture." What of it?....Oborden Would it be an Act of Genius to recognise QRS as 'containing an equal measure of superficiality'...in line with the superficiality of 'mainstream culture'... Would it be an Act of Genius to recognise that within QRS....

The 'herd mentality' or 'culture' QRS rail against basically consists of a Script and Costume that the 'herd' follows. The script includes things like marry, career, raise kids, hobbies etc.. The Costume would involve things like an Armani Suit, Club Tie, Prada Shoes etc... It's got a kind of 'plot'...

However, I do think it's important to keeping pointing out other people's obsession with their appearance and the compromises they make in order secure certain benefits - e.g. a nice job, an easy life, a sexual partner, etc. It would be remiss of me not to. It's all part of the process of raising h...

Meaning is a bullet: verbs, adjectives, and nouns, gunpowder. Meaning is Meaning. Verbs, adjectives and nouns are verbs, adjectives and nouns. 'Bullet' and 'Dynamite' point to possible Human Reaction to these things. Meaning/Words........Human reaction to Meaning/Words are separate things. Genius c...

The point isn't Faizi's 'poor me' Martyring of herself in the workplace...the 'riot of emotion' that plays inside her as she rescues the vulnerables and persecutes the 'receptionists'....the ongoing drama of her mental creation...the refusal to accept 'what is' but get upset about 'what is' and rail...

After showing him a few of these, he would then give Soren a picture of Jesus hanging pitifully on the cross with a crowd taunting and mocking him, and he would say, "This is the greatest man who has ever lived". As you can imagine, this had a huge impact on young Soren and opened up his mind to th...
