GENIUS FORUMS

It would be impossible for Alex to deny this one. Well, I shall now perform the impossible! Try to see if you can take this in and see it a little differently. I don't think you will be able to because you are also in a similar boat, not the same but similar. Here goes: I have no desire to 'hurt' e...

I was not using the term 'conservative' in a common political sense, Laird. Conservatism as I meant it is to be concerned with First Principals and to be grounded in this reality through adherence to them. The QRStian philosophy is 'deeply conservative' insofar as it defines a bedrock where an 'abso...

Interesting! In Ideas Have Consequences , Weaver talks about the 'last metaphysical right' as one's physical place in the world, or what one might own, say a piece of land where one grows things, or the house one lives in. I would naturally extend it to the body itself: the 'place' where one shows u...

"But the thing a man does practically believe (and this is often without asserting it even to himself, much less others); the thing a man does practically lay to heart, and know for certain, concerning his vital relations to this mysterious Universe, and his duty and destiny there, that is in ...

The way I see it, Diebert, is a little different. When I look into this space, and when I look into the minds and spirits of many who write here, I see something quite different from what it is that they seem to assume they are. You would imagine that with a philosophy that pins its concerns to the ...

...but it confirms a mind-frame that nearly all of the human population already conforms to, i.e. postmodernism, or "no one is ultimately right or wrong," or, "Hi, my name is Alex, and my authoritative, accurate standpoint on reality is that there is no authoritative, accurate standp...

You got the joke! You got it, Dan! This one is for you.

No, Dennis is not 100% correct. When I 'play the victim' it is literally that I am playing . I do not at all feel a victim here. But when you-all begin to act in a swarm it is fun to play that role in relation to that. Yes, Laird actually wrote a program that goes through and collects a person's pos...

Thou comprehendest not: Laird has a program that 'collects' posts, like a vacuum cleaner, but it requires an active status. I can assure you that though you read the post 'badly', looking as you are for a decent reason to do what you have desired to do for a long time, it was not misunderstood by De...

But Dan, let us suppose that that paragraph were to have been written more specifically, to clearly indicate that this is what I thought of Dennis? It was after all in a post directed to him and in response to him. It was intended specifically for him though I can see how you might have thought I th...

Oooooh. Here, let us have a beginning point. Narcissist's Training 101!

• 'A flute, a tuneful bamboo flute
  ---or is it a fisherman's pole?---
  The name is the same and so is the goal;
  To tangle, to lure, and snare.'

Could I get that in translation?

But it is obvious that I am speaking from a different 'value-platform'. True, it is linked as are all things I write to my core ignorance, but what else is expected? While it IS true that a person could transfer their obsession with avoiding themselves to the 'help' of others, it is just a statemen...

What happened to the little boy to end up in this seducible state? I think you mean. It is a very good question!

If you want fulfillment , empty yourself. I had no idea where the quote came from. I took it at face value, in a common-sense sort of way. On any road traveled there is always a first step. And people HAVE found (i.e. those contemptible, all-too-human persons from which 'you' are so obviously disti...

And judge you do. Is this judgement of yours absolutely true or is it a judgement relative to your comprehension ability? A prejudice, an aversion? The truth is you don't know. You can't know Dan's subjective experience. There is a group of 'intellects' who assemble themselves, in a Sangha-of-the-A...

So, you lifted that description from the Wiki entry on jñāna, huh? I use a group of different resources available on-line when I am reading. Having an iPhone is pretty extraordinary and really helpful as a research tool (I did not write the following post on my iPhone!). When reading 'Dr Glas' by H...

There. Breathe out. Now breathe in again. Big breath! Do that 10 times. Now sit. Yes, sit! SIT DOWN! Good. Now, let the juices settle. Whew!

I'll get back to you.

(Breathe!)

Dan, Dan! Put the tip of that 'sword' up your overtight asshole and push. I am not accostomed to being talked to by you with this flippancy, you peasant. In my world you'd be flogged. Stop all the bluster and make your meager points. This display of yours is unbecoming. Do the people in your world a...

I wish I might uncause you.

Excuse the question phrased in this way, but when I refer, with that Alexian deviousness, to 'boys' and 'boyishness', what does it make you think or feel? What I am really getting at is: how open are you to the possibility of your present perspectives radically changing? It is not a very fair questi...

I've been 35-36 for just over 50 years now. ;-) I would place you between as young as 23 and maybe 27?

Why do you talk then?

You completely miss the point Tomas. What happened didn't happen. The Story about what happened happened. What keeps you from illustrating your understanding with stories or events from your own life? How does it help you to do this for someone else? Isn't it stronger to speak uniquely of yourself?...

He was talking in respect to his wife, Bluerap. I think his fascination with GF stems from the fact that it has been designed in a way so one must rid their self of character, and stand naked before reality. He is determined to find a costume lying around here some where that he can try on for size,...
