Bobo wrote: If you [Bob] are proposing an absolute of either love or hate it tends to take out all other 'feelings', including anger. You may try to argue for secondary characteristics. Seeing this way I would put fear as one of the primary, but then we're talking 'bout the brainz. Fear is also an e...

Maybe Bob is saying something about understanding the self, and if he was to add comment to his use of quotes, we might get to know what that 'something' is exactly.

People who write poetry do so because they don't take their own mind seriously enough to write prose.

As does the 'women's movement' need men to rail against. This sounds to me an effective summary of QRS philosophy Your understanding of Woman is very poo...

Jason, People can easily be "impressed", as seen by advertising and TV. I reckon all you can do is live as closely as you are able, to the truth, and that's it. You can't press people one way or another. They either get it, or they don't. You can put truth out there, but you have no power ...

Jason wrote: What if having a certain contrived physical appearance was more conductive to the spread of truth? Suppose, for example, that young people are more likely to be interested in philosophy and truth than older people, and that these same young people are also more likely to enter into disc...

Jason,

If a young person is easily impressed by a shaved-face, and say, clean clothes and a smiling face - then he or she isn't worth their salt.

Kunga, perhaps it would be useful if you were to try to summaries what the QRS woman theory really is.

It might be useful to Kunga if you gave your summary of 'Exposition'.

Kunga, From Pye's above post, you can see how difficult it is for women to define themselves according to anything other than through their relationship with men. Women NEED men. Without him she is aimless. She may be single or married - it doesn't matter - as both states still depend on men. As doe...

Jason, It would depend upon his reasons for wanting to "created a particular personal appearance". If it was done to "manipulate the social world" so he could, for example, attract women to him, or so that he was considered a "nice (safe) bloke", or a "cool dude&qu...

Kunga wrote: ...the thing about females being un-natural (make-up etc) what's so natural about an all male society ? More and more men are getting into being more fashionable : wearing make-up, dressing more flamboyantly, draping themselves in jewellery, getting decorative tats and piercings. Such b...

Kunga, Thinking out-loud is useful, but maybe you might want to take your time and consider things a bit more before you write them to here. I know that you are reacting to something you feel about Woman when you say that Quinn's ideas are fucked, so maybe the way to go now is to write about your ow...

From Exposition: "Woman is purely the superficial, whose superficiality so skillfully persuades to the contrary. For she has no depth--there is not one bit, not one tiniest fraction, not even one slither of this fraction of anything other than the superficial." Kunga: ...his repulsive view...

Diebert wrote: Maybe Quinn should have named his exposition: CHILDREN. It wouldn't have made a real difference apart from the PTA suing him. True, woman is a child. But like all children, the potential to grow away from childhood is always present; it's just that few ever do. "Woman" thoug...

Kunga, you have to be firmer with your mob. Do what I do. Tell them to leave you alone and to be quiet. Tell them that your thinking and questioning life is THE most important thing EVER! This will give them a good start on the way to examining life themselves, but most importantly, it will give you...

Hi Leyla, You wrote: Sue: Or is that just the "abstraction", and her real nature lies separate and distanced from that abstraction? I do not hold absolutely that every individual female shares a mutually exclusive “real nature” to that of every individual male; Woman knows no bounds :). Th...

Yana, You sound like a man with his 'short and curlies' held like puppet-strings by your girlfriend. And yes, woman remain enemy to conscious thought. I am her slave nowadays, NOT. You get a word in and then she's given them a hard yank and you're backstepping; then she lets up, and you gather up a ...

Though I'm sure it could rather easily serve that purpose for some. :) To me, it’s a political icon; the perfect imago (idealised image) of politicised Woman.

It’s “grasping” in the same way people believe in angles, fairies, gurus, unicorns, and godheads. It's cowardice. Belief in those things may imply grasping or cowardice or it may not.

It’s “grasping” in the same way people believe in angles , fairies, gurus, unicorns, and godheads. It's cowardice. I believe in angles. Because obtuse people like you always think they are right , and they give me acute dyspepsia. That slant of yours is what I’m speaking about. Having a point of vi...

Both suicide and murder arise out of the ignorant belief in the self . As BMcGilly wrote, ignorance is what needs to be eradicated. I do like BMcGilly's idea about THE FAMILY being responsible for their mad and bad . People go on and on about the importance of the family. Make them be responsible fo...
