GENIUS FORUMS

Alice, not saying I'm anything but fascinated by the starting point of this thread, its current direction, and all its possible outcomes, but I am curious: how long did you lurk before posting? I refuse to simply be an observer on the sidelines of life! Action is my by-word! And Shadowfax the name ...

Well, I doubt anyone here does. Served! That's right, show me my place! Freud, in turn, wrote about the complaints of 'what women want.' Well, it's certainly not a penis. Just in case you were asking seriously -- this is very easily solved. You ask. If she doesn't know, then you might be with the w...

I ignore people who ignore me (define "ignore" as to refer to needs, emotions, or even one's entire being). I'd argue that it's even psychologically healthy. Actually, I'd go so far to say that defining your own reality and then acting within that is a fantastic way to deal with people's b...

I have little interest in being "smart" in a conventional sense. Fascinating. But clearly you value some form of intellectualism. What is this non-conventional sense of being smart which appeals to you? What does it do for you that conventional cleverness will not? You can go on any forum...

Alice, I appreciate your reply, but our thinking is too different to form any kind of meaningful dialogue. You lost me in the first statement, telling me I was rude to reply to a deleted post. Perhaps you deleted your post just before I posted my reply, but I assure you, when I pressed the "su...

All you need is love. :)

Conversely you could decide to become celibate and retire from the world of people. But life is better for connection, I think.

movingalways, don't you know that its rude to reply to deleted posts? "Seems" does not cut it if you are going to be a contributor on a board based on logic and reason. Can you give me your reasons why this "metaphysical stuff" is silly and has no basis in reality? Logic and reas...

When a wisdom seeker is able to take himself to the original cause of gender, sentient awareness, he realizes gender identity is excess baggage. Freud was not about wisdom but about how to attain to a healthy ego. Nuf said. I realize this thread is tongue-in-cheek, but to quote Cher from the film M...

Sometimes purposefully vague questions are useful because how a person answers them can say a lot about who they think they are. Probably you suspect this and refuse to answer the question on the grounds that doing so might make you seem somewhat arrogant. But, I argue, you are arrogant, because you...

.... f it.

I'm being purposefully vague. Stop avoiding the question. :)

Are you autistic? You seem to have a habit of grabbing the wrong end of the stick and not appreciating nuances. Short answer: yes. Long answer: he lives in his mom's basement, and therefore doesn't know any women. Analysis: he disagrees with you and holds some sort of grudge against women for rejec...

Different people are smart in different ways. I can't write like Bob Dylan does, and I wouldn't even want to try. I would feel that it would require too much ceding control... like, I'd have to think much more flexibly than I do now. As a scientist, I like to be able to apply a certain dollop of rat...

Do you think that you are smart?

Yes or no is fine. A paragraph is also fine.
