GENIUS FORUMS

While we're trying to get a hard-on (we are, aren't we?):

Cool Chicks Doing Yoga I Think

It would be a good thing is we were wiser. We are not. This thread doesn't add to that wisdom, as compelling as its content may seem.

All it does is remind me of one of the reasons I dropped out of mainstream society so many lifetimes ago..

This is a conversation we've started to have; one which I can't see going anywhere meaningful. "**********" indicates her speaking to me: Judi wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: Dan Rowden >To: TheEndOfTheRopeRanch@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 3:38 PM >Subject:...

I said what I said, because, she has realized that the true nature of "all is illusion," is love - or, a perfect understanding of situation, in the real world. You're assuming this is what she means by "love". I don't think that's been established yet. I have no idea what she me...

Just to start things off with her on her email list I wrote something fairly simple and innocuous: Hello all, On her website Judi says the following: " There is nothing you can do to enlighten yourself. " Am I to assume from this that it is a waste of time to think about enlightenment and ...

Well, this is an example of her "output". If someone would like to decipher it for me they're most welcome to try: Bubba Free John: Fear leads us to obsessive concentration, one-pointedness, thought, knowledge, inwardness, belief, illusions of certainty, self, and ritual repetitions of exp...

Because one suffers for the fact of one's ignorance and Enlightenment is the only remedy.

Oh well, he's dead. Is the world now a better and safer place as a result? The Singaporeans no doubt think so. Can't say that I feel better or safer myself.

Over 400 people hanged there between 1991 and 2003. Even George Dubya couldn't match a record like that.

Prima facie, she seems like a moron to me. One look at her website tells me that. Very girly. And she says, what, exactly? Nothing concrete that I could see, just typical wishy washy, nebulous scripts. All very familiar. I don't see how anyone could perceive originality in it. Anyway, I've signed up...

No Dave Hodges, that would be these.

It's interesting that the content of a truly thoughtful person's mind is so readily seen as sufficiently dysfunctional so as to warrant clinical diagnosis. But then, for such people living in countries whose national ethos includes some form of compassion for the ill and aberrant this is a matter of...

Why couldn't she just buy another pair of sunglasses? It would probably be far less trouble. That's how a man would deal with matters because it would be symbolic of his independence; for her it's different. Without having thought about it too deeply, my first thought is that the return of the sunn...

Are you into S&M David?

Are those differences matters of character or just taste, in much the same way as some guys prefer brunettes to blondes, some big tits over small, some green eyes over blue etc? Some girls may express their femininity in slightly different ways to others (i.e. through personality), thus appealling m...

In the hope of some clarification: This, Tord, is what you wrote: But this is difficult. I see that I'm nowhere near explaining this concept in a easy to understand way. This is the reason why explanations are dangerous, as the more specific you try to be the easier it is to become unclear. The adva...

Though somewhat rhetorically clumsy and imprecise, I'm happy enough with Tord's expanation of his position re: knowledge. Mind you, I wonder if there isn't something slightly Freudian in the fact that every time he types the word "believe" he misspells it :) The matter I do have a problem ...

Just on a small technical point: what Tord actually said was "I belive in what I know". At one point David turns that into "I believe that I know". Do these two statements really have different meanings as Tord asserted? I don't see how. Anyway, the original statement I find larg...

The greatest and most significant difference between man's and woman's sense of humour is the appreciation of irony. The more feminine the mind set the less that mind is able to see irony let alone appreciate it.

This applies to nations as well as individuals.

For men, women represent a holiday from consciousness. Men have sufficient a masculine component to their consciousness such that - egotistically - consciousness is a burden. This is the primary reason that men, although predominantly feminine in their own psychological makeup, are attracted to wome...

Bullshit. That's what this thread is and also the subsequent discussion (apart from the observation that she only wanted her sunglasses). The girl's a "slut"; so what. What does that mean? We assume virtue in the guy just because he craps on like a man with principles. We know nothing abou...

This is not a difficult situation to analyse. I can do it in a single sentence:

Men laugh knowingly; women, unexpectedly.

Tord wrote:And when I thought it was a forum for geniuses and not people who talk about what it presumably is like to be one, is probably my fault.

The usual and easiest way to avoid making false assumptions about a forum is to read their introduction/welcome threads. Did you do that, Tord?

So, at bottom, all you're whining about is the use of the word Totality as a synonym for Infinite or Reality etc, right? That doesn't strike me as much of a complaint. What we're talking about is not " a totality, but " The Totality". A word can have more than one meaning you know. Th...

Why you created an entire thread to respond to me rather than doing it in the original thread is beyond me...anyhoo.... We weren't discussing the overall body of intellectual work by those I named. I'm well aware they had some loopy ideas mixed in with the quality work they did. So what's new about ...

This is a thread I contributed to at The Ponderer's Guild at Ezboard. Some of you will be familar with the place. It just goes to show that some people can't see the meaningfulness of a concept now matter how much you shove it in their faces. Hopefully the formatting doesn't make it to hard to follo...
