GENIUS FORUMS

I've just met too many stupids >120 (and >130 and >140 and almost only stupidity left with >150). While I have met some clueless in the 120-150 zone, and much impractical in the 160 zone, I've generally had the opposite experience: the smarter people are the ones less likely to fall into the usual ...

For most people it's a tool of convenience employed to support and justify other drives. I agree. I call this process "backward rationalization" for lack of a better term: act on impulse, then through assuming equality/self-perfection, invent a reason why it "should" be so. For ...

"Dismiss the Tea Parties at Your Peril" is the title of an article that echoes some of the same concerns I have about this revitalized right wing movement and it's impact on the 2010 elections. What exactly have liberals done right since 1789? The world's a mess. Fuck these people, to the...

Who cares who's to blame? Is blame even useful? Sounds like moral thinking, not pragmatic thought.

If he's dumb, usher him into the woodchipper and the species improves. Natural selection.

Perhaps you should have checked yours in before you started an inane bunch of new threads.

Miley? Miley Cyrus? It's okay, the catering truck is here.

Let me also add: considering this autistic Jew's prolific past use of sockpuppets, ownership of multiple websites and easy access to proxy servers, he may be responsible for most (if not nearly all) of Genius Forum's traffic. Hell, he may even be behind it. Let's see... I am blown away by the sheer...

I doubt that'll help. Who are you?

I support censorship. Low-quality information is not interesting, and Dan's responsibility is to the readers of this forum who don't want to be fed garbage. Try editing your posts more for topic, content, etc.

None of them ever call me, they don't come visit me, they don't share my interests. ... But am I supposed to pretend that I find their jobs or marriage interesting or meaningful to me? Sounds like it's mutual, and if one side doesn't invest a whole lot in discovering these people (and is able to fi...

Man is universally a rational animal; his nature is reason

I saw this elsewhere and had to chuckle.

Man is... many things. Including a whole lot of impulse control issues.

To a computer, we have "decisional Tourette's"

I'm here because of this. I find the whole analysis very interesting, and active nihilism appealing in the same way as Zen or Hermeticism: an intense mental discipline.

No, no, yes.

She's an awful writer and philosopher, but an iconic personality.

Why would you have anyone but indigenous Europeans in Europe?

I don't entirely like the defeatist spirit of it, but any pop song that tackles the subject of the universes entropy gets props.

If anything, that band is anti-defeatist!

Leyla Shen wrote:The problem with Jews is religion is conflated with supposed race and, on top of that, an inseparable and essential part of their identity.

Why is this a problem?

They're a nation.

Freedoms seem to be vanishing, and instances of police abusing their power are starting to look commonplace. Happy kumbaya horseshit: the people are innocent, and get oppressed by big meanie governments. Reality: big meanie governments come about because most of the people are incompetent. America'...

We have 10-year-old rapists here, and while most of them are Negroes, not all are.

Converting non-Jews vital for Israel's future Only if they want to self-destruct. Israel is a land for the preservation of the Jewish people: values, heritage, language, culture and customs. That means non-Jews need to hit the road, especially the Syrian/Jordanian/Egyptian "Palestinians" ...

I can get behind this. Also liked your mention of Gorefest. If you like those, try Schubert.

Seems to me right now we're a pretty mediocre species. Our cities are ugly, our art/learning is solipsistic stagnation, our leaders corrupt and we don't seem to have a goal. Not to mention ecocide in progress as a result of overpopulation and mismanagement. I'm a Platonic believer, especially in tha...

Some of the effects these memes seem to be having is that they produce incredibly uninspired people, and a stagnancy in all things spiritual and philosophical. There is only one form of oppression, which is the crowd dragging down the smart. What may be needed is a biological solution -- march all ...

Eh, female genius exists, but per the complementary principle of the sexes, it doesn't occur in the same way as male genius. Arguably Mary Shelley and Jane Austen were genius, for a quick example. Female genius is not as rare as genius among the non-favored races (Negroes, lower Asians, hybrids like...

The Self, is claimed to be essentially nothing but the denominator of unity, it is zero, but it is that which divides reality? The self is a subset of reality. Any number divided by one is one -- if the self does the division, it's always going to come up with itself. And then be raped by wild boar...

Dan Rowden wrote:Evolution is not about the origin of life.

Agreed. It's a method in common between biology and thought that refines what has originated.

The major flaw of modern atheism is that atheists commonly get egotistically involved in the accumulation of knowledge, and a absolute belief in knowledge as a means to derive a sense of egotistical security and knowing. This seems to be the disease of our time in general. My problem with atheism, ...
