GENIUS FORUMS

Robert wrote:Thank Christ for Carl and a few others like him around here, they're the ones that continue to make genius worth reading.

Current posters of note: Animus, Carl, Nick, Diebert, Elizabeth and Steve (in small doses).

Thanks, Robert, I really appreciate that.

Diebert made a good point. Refer to it, study what he has said, and throw away your conspiracy books because the excitement you derive from those outlandish half-truths makes the basics of reasoning seem boring to you. Oh barf, the evil and ego stroking that happens on this forum is deplorable. Whe...

We've always been incarceratin', torturin', killin' fools in the U.S.

I found a magnum of Eclipse and am really gone.

Carl, Similar? This is so general as to be useless for the purpose of the argument. And incoherent besides, birds not being a species, but a genus comprised of many species, some of which can fly and some which cannot. Again Carl, you miss my entire point. It is irrelevant whether my hypothetical e...

Most of the birds in my province are able to fly. This is fairly specific and not general. We would still need to define 'most' and qualify 'able' but it is a step up from many of your usual sweeping statements implying 'all'. birds as a species are similar around the world, Similar? This is so gen...

Ryan, I don't think I or anyone else should need to infer what you mean. Not on a regular basis, anyway. You defend your sloppy expression and lack of 'editing' like it doesn't matter how you say things. It does. Words are all we have here on a written messageboard. And logic is specific (despite yo...

Ryan,

Most is a word you rarely employ. All is a word you frequently use or imply. Most may not be generalization. All usually is a generalization. Your aphorisms and assertions are often unrealistically broad, thus have little to do with logic, and represent faulty reasoning.

You're saying enlightened people should not say what they are? Why not? Perhaps you feel it should be like the custom of some Native Americans, where a shaman does not refer to himself as such; it is for others to say that he is a shaman. In this case other enlightened persons. A unenlightened perso...

Hey, Tomas. Fuck the ignore button. That's not what this place is about. It's about logic, and part of that is pointing out delusion. If that comes across to you as being a hardass, so be it. The fact is that Ryan sees himself as enlightened, so I am doing him a favor when I show him his illogic. If...

I got wrecked on a park bench last night

Whenever I come into anyones company May I regard myself less than anyone else And from the depths of my heart, value others More highly than I do myself. For God's Sake why? Try it for a while...if you dare. But it only works if you do it from your heart...not your mind. How do you know I have not...

Brought me to Dali, pumpkin. As long as we're on the subject, how come Steven gets a free ticket at Genius with his non-sequitorial obsession? Why are we singling out prince? Can't we have two differently abled longtime members? -tomas- Oh yeah, don't I know! prince has been itchin' to get me off G...

"You Can't Blink"

You can't blink.
You have to be wired
In a way of being
So committed to the mission,

The mission that we're on,
Reform of this country,
And victory in the war,
You can't blink.

So I didn't blink.

(Palin to C. Gibson, ABC News, Sept. 11, 2008)

Recent works by Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate. "On Good and Evil" It is obvious to me Who the good guys are in this one And who the bad guys are. The bad guys are the ones Who say Israel is a stinking corpse, And should be wiped off The face of the earth. That's ...

I understand your joie de vivre, I had overactive hormones in my younger days as well, but I don't think actually being super-horny is really something to crow about. Why not? I'm expressing how I feel and how I think. Is that OK with you? It's okay, but it's not wise. In fact it looks foolish, bei...

So, Skip, your philosophy is basically, "I'm a slave but we all are slaves, so might as well enjoy it to the max"?

I didn't see him doing that. Perhaps I should view it again. Surely unconscious people would not be watching that video, so I'm not sure what you mean.

To me the point and the video are trite. It is like saying an unconscious man is interested in pancakes and a conscious one is interested in wisdom. So what.

The Monty Python clips didn't help.

I see Tomas' hard-on for Carl continues unslackened.

You see, this is the sort of influence that I don't want prince to have over people who might be impressionable enough to think that's the way that we debate things here. Perhaps Kevin Solway's latest video might be of value to you. Golly, another small and useless effort from Kevin. What's happene...

Conscience is another word for morality. You know that's totally relative and subjective, right That's debatable. It's not a given. I happen to think they are different, and that conscience is less relative and subjective, and may be objective. In other words, conscience may be universal among huma...

You speak of one's own inner feminine, whom every man should marry.
