GENIUS FORUMS

<t>For those who are sure that you live once and die, I see no reason to pursue truth or sacrifice any immediate pleasures. There is no meaning or purpose in the universe, all your knowledge will die with you, and all knowledge attained by humans will ultimately die, forever.<br/> <br/> Those who ad...

<t>Of course I agree that there is only one reality. The term ultimate reality as used here simply refers to the fact that most people have a limited and shallow understanding of the reality before them. Of course it's an oxymoron unless you take the word ultimate to refer, not to reality, but to on...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>Ultimate reality doesn't exist. If existence is appearance to mind, and mind is contained within the totality, then mind has no consistent or complete method of ascertaining it's 'truth' (the word truth is used here only as a rhetorical device as truth is only an existential conce...

Carva? Figi? Why a hole in the ground?

That was certainly a disappointing hurricane. Marsha should be enjoying the full force of it right about now.

Quote:Quote:<hr>It's unkind of you to have a brick for a head.<hr>
If I come to Australia and drink a beer with you, will you elucidate the book for me?

We all know Thomas is none too bright. It was unkind of you to mention it.

<t>I am sorry, Friedrich, it didn't work out between us.<br/> <br/> I vaguely remember tyring to read Zarathustra many years ago, and it was too garbled and crazy for me to get interested in. Recently, for the same reason as you, I tried again, (although I got it from the library and didn't lose any...

<t>I'll take your word for it that furtherest is a word.<br/> <br/> Under "Fundamentals of Existence" you need to delete the word "the" from "the Nature"<br/> <br/> Under Causality Does Not Mean "Fate" you need to add the word "what" in the 1st paragraph, last sentence.<br/> <br/> I've read up throu...

Where? Gosh, it's difficult enough without that!

<t>Leo - I myself have always been a little suspicious of beautiful people, probably too much so. There are many ways in which a person can grow up knowing the world is their oyster. Societies other than ours, such as the Islamic people, and Chinese people, often have an overt preference for boys su...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>If you want to generalise and especially with regard to adornment and beautification, it seems to me that the advance of the western male towards such 'feminine' values contines unabated. It's even gathering pace at a frightening rate.<hr>Well, I dunno. They happened to have a pho...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>That's true to a certain extent. But nevertheless if a man wore lipstick and perfume and, say, an orange wig, I would find it hard to take him seriously, even though I wouldn't be sexually attracted to him. <br/> <br/> Women need to assume responsibility for the way they present t...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>It is impossible to take anyone seriously who wears lipstick, earings and perfume, and who constantly retreats into feminine irrationality at the drop of a hat.<hr><br/> <br/> I think perhaps the problem is a little deeper. Do women who live in societies without those accoutrement...
