GENIUS FORUMS

I'll tell you what I AM proud about: I'm proud of being UNASHAMED.

You could start a fucking religion! :-) I've considered starting a Fucking Business, to become a breeder of sorts, ordering prize winning males and females from across the world who could come together and reinstate a master race and royal bloodline. Though, I think this already happens naturally w...

So, Skip, your philosophy is basically, "I'm a slave but we all are slaves, so might as well enjoy it to the max"? Yeah, pretty close to it. Though, I don't think I'd use the word "slave" in this case. Knowing the absolute by knowing what's not absolute (everything) is what make...

No thing, including women, has any inherent quality or purpose, and we are not inherently bound to view women or anything else in any particular manner. Whether we have evolved or been conditioned to see things a particular way is not enough to write off the idea that we can't begin to see things i...

Yes there are definitely some physical characteristics of women we have evolved to appreciate, but without believing in WOMAN, the physical form of a female would not be enough to cause you and every other man to behave the way you do. I guess I'm calling bullshit on this, and only add that it's no...

I think Skipair does care about the girls he plays with. That's true. I have extremely strict boundaries, and I am extremely affectionate within them. Though, I've learned the hard way to only "care" about girls, and people in general, in proportion to what they deserve and the value they...

Spoken like a true douchebag. Yo playa, being smooth with the ladies don't make you enlightened. No, definitely it does not. I've never claimed to be enlightened. I think it's a misleading term. But I do claim to know what I'm talking about. Having a sophisticated understanding of the psychological...

No doubt our biology demands certain things, but when it comes to our desires, most of them have deep psychological roots. Yes we are animals, but we are very cerebral animals, and because of this we have the ability to overcome and be free. Like I explained in my previous post, rejecting our uncon...

Nick, I remember saying in another thread that I have no choice be be selfish. I think self-interest is the human operating system. In this thread I remember alluding to the notion that biologically some things will bring pleasure and pain whether we like it or not. I agree a person can choose to de...

Nick, I agree with all that. I am extremely aware of the undermining process that rationality does to all worldly values. What it boils down to is not having much reason to do anything at all, except maybe helping to promote the same kind of thinking in others. I don't subscribe to that morality. I ...

I disagree, I believe that there are serious consequences to your actions, and life is a big deal because it is all you have. So rather than having a wishy washy attitude about life events, I take a much more proactive stand, Just to clarify my view, since it seems you've missed it a bit: I accept ...

Jesus, Ryan, you really are a downer sometimes. :-| The danger is based on you being addicted to finite forms, and attached to the degree that it weakens you psychologically, weakens you to the point where you lose your sanity, and such behavior poses the possibly of you behaving like a irrational a...

That is the danger of thinking in the manner you do. The manner of thinking I do is conscious. If you have different morals than me, that'd be no surprise. I am much more Dionysian than y'all hermity-type people. Nothing against your style, but it ain't the only one in the books. You're right thoug...

It's just that I think that I'm aware that there is a state of consciousness beyond even this relatively heightened state, and you have yet to discover it. Talk about this. I'll say up front that I suspect it will come down to living by a particular morality, one that's different than mine. Are you...

To me it's like you're worshiping a dead horse. You grew up with it, your rode it around, explored and discovered many things until there was nothing left to discover, and the horse died. Now you look at the horse lying there, look back on all you learned, the whole process. Yes, it WAS amazing. Com...

I think, in your case Skip, truth just isn't that important to you, at least not compared to other things. I also don't think you've spent much time thinking of the truth and really understanding it's implications because you know it doesn't lead to wealth, status, and women. So it's really no surp...

Of course I was quite deluded at the time, and many of my motivations were very animal, as I thought power and fame would come with supreme understanding, and with that, my own harem of beautiful women... Truth has a way of undermining your deluded motivations as you go, and continually replacing t...

Turning infinitely inward has nothing to do with torturing yourself in analysis and speculation about where you motives may or may not come from. It has nothing to do with whether or not you decide to lie to others. It doesn't even have anything to do with your ego, other than recognizing that you D...

Will the Desert Sage once again bring dusk upon us?

I vote yes!

Also, I frequently engage in what is sometimes called "Epic Fail Hour" around my residence. The notion is that I or my company play games on difficulty settings that are beyond our capabilities. For example playing a song by Ingwie Malmsteen on expert guitar or singing Queen on expert. Fa...

Losers are people who play games to win. I want to do business with YOU! Though, I know you probably mean this only regarding the personal, strictly rational plane. There's no game-playing in logic and awareness! When all that is sorted to your satisfaction, it is extremely important NOT to stay di...

HAAAA!!! Dude...yes. I blast this song.

The congratulations were for stating outright that women are not the problem: that your response-to and desire for them is. Here, in this: "you basically said that there is a denial of the fact that men become unconscious around women or "lose their sense of self" around them. I do n...

It's worldly knowledge and a wide variety of experience that made me realize the importance what's happening during ones youth. If a real and tangible connection with truth is not started pre-teen, no matter how vague and fantastic it might be regarding the concepts that were available back then, i...
