GENIUS FORUMS

The conclusion is you stop trying to find your self identity and self worth through subjugation and domination, which is likely what has defined most of your life. Men and women (if they exist with average to above levels of polarization) are so different that the only way they can coexist is though...

It's clear to me now. Those who have been devalued, excessively, lack value in the eyes of others, for reasons to do with a) fertility b) virility. Some nations are perceived to have neither of those things. It's good to keep in mind what coach John Wooden once asked: Why do so many people wish to b...

Although there are some interesting insights there, there is also a rather vulgar blending of categories that are in different spheres of being. An envious man suffers from helplessness and is akin to a drowning man. He looks to other men as sources of floatation, but they throw him off like the nui...

If this vital energy (the will to power) acquires the correct concepts and intelligence, it can operate on culture to transform it. The concepts and intelligent usage of them simply has to emerge through causality. Some interesting thoughts there, Cory. But I do think the "vital energy" w...

Yes, I thought the cultural change in the Yanomano (due to the activity of Christian missionaries) was a very good example of causality operating. It's a phenomena that has a striking contrast to the clinical timidity we see in a guy like Steven Pinker (who I used to consider quite edgy). To overcom...

I can't help but think back to a Satyr I once knew who tried to prove his flute was superior to my Lyre. Did he use language or did he try to do it on the Pan Pipes? ;-) Greek myths use common tools such as arrows or wings as metaphor for unusual states of consciousness, painful judgements, great c...

"It is easy to be indifferent to the afflictions of Heaven, but hard to be indifferent to the benefits of man." Being partial (holding on) to what there is in this world for benefit, one will surely be bound to affliction. "Embody to the fullest what has no end and wander where there...

With the latest fracas involving Alex, I thought now would be a good time to share what I've been working on lately. It's nothing too great, just a meeting ground between some distinct philosophical trends, some of them very recent and relatively popular (Alain De Botton), others more obscure (a sam...

Quinn acts overtly like a child. You sound like a teenager. I am speaking as an adult. At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless ...

Have you experienced a state of non-anxiety? Could you describe it? If you have not, could you describe what you think it would be like? I had an experience of non-anxiety. It was accompanied by a very clear sense of absolute truth, ecstasy, and a strong physiological sensation in my thymus area, a...

A New Kind of Language of the Heart | Follow the Dancing Bee Until man learns to stop priding himself for his intellect, and instead learns to focus on his character (make sacrifices), he will always be harmed by the wasp, the bee, the hornet. And what we are harmed by, we tend to become. "God...

Overcoming anxiety occurs through overcoming the need to submit to a form. The form could be another person, wife, parent, or friend. It could be an organization, corporation or religious group. Very anxious people tend to assuage their anxiety through other things, forms, people, groups. This is my...

I don't view reality in terms of discrete nouns, particularly when the judgements are based on relatively loose sociological ideas. As far as analysing prisoners go, sure, their brains are different. The muscles you exercise and neglect tend to grow and atrophy. Einstein's brain was different in str...

While Dutton offers helpful material for having relationships, to put a surgeon in the same category as Ted Bundy is clearly the result of incompetence, or just wilful hyperbole for $$. As far as hurtful behaviour goes, I don't see how labelling certain professions in society as psychopathic or refe...

Humanity's fundamental problem is psychopathy; 1-4% of the population are amoral "intra-species predators" with a preternatural instinct for predation and manipulation and the best worm their way into power. Worse, they've institutionalized themselves into social structures and the cultur...

Overcoming anxiety is a worthwhile goal in my view, I guess what you're saying is that instead of investigating the real source of anxiety (irrational beliefs) we simple lash out as if those beliefs were factual. Yet to the irrational they are factual, that is the genius of the mind or "ration...

Well, I'm not here to argue. Thanks for your point of view.

My purpose is overcoming delusion. Delusion is the negative emotion we experience when things don't work out like we expect. However, because we live in a complex society with various streams of skill, my purpose is also to maintain a high degree of functionality. Non-deluded behaviour that preserve...

Hey there, it's been a while since I've been here. This time I'm here to (eventually) talk about purpose and purposelessness in human behaviour. One of the premises I'm starting from is that science cannot give us purpose or values. Science can certainly help our values thrive, but fundamentally, no...

It is vital to see the distinction between analytic truths and empirical truths. Analytic Truths are not experience, and if used properly, they function to free you from consciousness. And until you know what it means to be free of consciousness, you haven't taken the final plunge into consciousness...

Passage 25, Tao Te Ching The Tao Te Ching is a great text for demonstrating analytic poles. In mundane everyday life we create North pole and South pole to orient the human mind in relation to the globe. These poles are not objectively real, but for global orientation these are necessary distinctio...

That's certainly true. It's like everything else in our cynical, nihilistic, feminine age. Everything is getting dumbed down, to the point of becoming white noise. It won't be long before everyone will be labelled a genius. - Definitely a good point. Einstein himself insisted (and this is one of hi...

Thanks for the kind words, Tomas.

I have another video of a song I wrote, noosphere

This particular song itself is recorded on a USB mic at my computer, so you might find it a step down.
