GENIUS FORUMS

In my experience those who supported Trump in the election know full well that Trump is a narcissist and a liar. The majority of Trump supporters don't believe that he is a narcissist and a liar, or they wouldn't support him. Trump's supporters may *acknowledge* that he has those faults to a degree...

Lest we all forget, the only reason we have these websites and forums is due to the utter and outright dedication to wisdom by the founders. To really know what's going on these days in this rapidly changing world takes a lot of time surfing and reading around the internet, including the tedious tas...

Personally I like the fact that they have some interest or concern about worldly matters – it more or less demonstrates to me that enlightenment is not anything more than training the brain to think more accurately. Wish there was a lot more of it from philosophers - such training should be put to ...

Infowars. Infowars. Juicy, huh? [link removed, only 3 urls allowed] Of course. AJ's outrageous religious antics can be very off-putting when it isn't hilarious. Both AJs that is. Here's another good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntWieh7YIgY Truth be told I mentioned the extreme examples of I...

But to understand why, for example, many Christians and various religious-founded people find male-male and female-female union an *abomination* requires grasping, and understanding, different predicates. I tend to see homosexual union and marriage as something that should be shunned. It should not...

Man is largely unaware of his 'locality'. I mean his body, his awareness-in-a-body, his self. Its the Heideggerian 'worlding' thing. He is just doing what he must do as a result of being here, in his circumstances. But there is something mysterious about his being, his awareness, his *soul* within ...

sexual obsession (your term) Actually I lifted it from your response. It isn't so much an obsession but I don't see myself going totally celibate for a while. I think that you must hold in your mind that though these fellows (as I affectionately call them) have gotten so much entirely wrong, and ma...

Bah. It had been a long time suspicion of mine considering the "cross-dressing" of usernames and your attraction to the role of being a stark counter to the values and people here. As for me, I'm straight as an arrow. I've had a "girlfriend" (more like FWB) for almost 8 years now...

The LGBTQ movement is the result of large factions of both Hollywood and the government themselves being sexual deviants. This can only be the explanation when such groups make up less than 4 percent of the population. Fame and power can make people do strange things. Alex, I'm going to come right o...

Just out of curiosity, what has Trump done to provoke assassination? He clearly has no quarrel with the MIC or the oil industry. What has he done? Nothing yet. But we all remember his threats to imprison Hillary and "drain the swamp." It isn't hard to find a list of Clinton crimes online,...

Yes, I’ve been keeping my eye on Zerohedge ever since jupiviv pointed it out. The site is ok, but I find that reading unsubstantiated opinion pieces by anonymous authors quickly gets tiresome, especially when they are so unrelentingly bitter in their tone. And of course, with these kinds of sites, ...

Hi Jim! I don’t really get why anyone would care about that nowadays. In fact it is a stupid idea to concentrate only on philosophical wisdom when the number of contributors is so low. They need to allow more ‘ordinary’ people a bit of space – they actually need to be looser and less academic, thus ...

Btw, outside of the self indulgent safety of this forum, what do you, Jupivivity, and you, Diebert, do to promote wisdom? I've wanted to start a topic on this for some time. Personally, I find it quite hard to relate wisdom to others around me other than with close friends and family. For me the st...

Curious thing that people have decided to question David's philosophic credentials on the basis of his seeming involvement in the realm of politics - by people arguing every nuance of it and throwing links to political stories around like confetti. Curious thing. One could argue that David is doing...

I didn't give hardly a care for either Clinton or Trump early on. It was either the same old corrupt politician, or a different look, a corrupt celebrity/businessman. Then the wikileaks emails came out and besides most of the obvious scandals, I eventually realized that pizzagate is likely a real th...

Are you sure you're not playing some game of semantics with me lol? It would seem so, and I don't blame you for thinking this. So instead of replying to everything, I will try to explain my view in whole in reply to just this part of your post. Infinity has to be a thing or else we couldn't talk ab...

This only works in societies where most jobs (and therefore people) are effectively useless, because they have massive amounts of energy at their disposal. When that goes awry, feminists will don traditionalist attire. So it isn't *really* both, as you indicated with the cake idiom, but usual femin...

I agree but the difference is that we didn't create the rock. The rock is seen to exist by everyone and including animals, but math takes years of training (indoctrination?) to discover its existence. Yes we didn't create the rock, but it doesn't exist without some sort of observation. There is no ...

Infinitely much, I imagine :) Indeed. You're on the verge, my friend. If only you can dismantle this particular blockage... Fair warning, I get a bit repetitive in this post, in effort to emphasis my point. True that math presents itself to us in the moment we invent it, but what I was meaning to s...

Obscuring and making vague is deliberate obfuscation, no? It's not changing the underlying truth, but merely blurring the perception of it. True, but not necessarily deliberately. Moreso it (femininity) is a mere regression, or unlearning from distinguishing. A desire to devolve consciousness into ...

True enough and I suggest that you find an old shirt because here I come with a ladder ;) Come on up! There's plenty of room :) I'm glad you bring this up. This thread is a great example of how easy it is to default to mathematical/scientific conceptualizations of infinity these days. I'm reminded ...

Hey Serendipper, You are truly insightful! (not just this post.) Thanks for the compliment, but I'll pass the credit to those that I echo; the founders of the forum and the giants whose shoulders they stand upon. But I don't believe in infinity. We can say our minds are unable to comprehend the grea...

something-real wrote:Maybe someone else will explain it to you in a way that doesn't make you feel the need to build yourself up.

What goes up must come down. As was alluded to you from the start, what you need is some dismantling.

Good luck with your work.

I prefer to think of us, and all things, as products of eternal causality. To call it "energy", as far as physics go, is to stick to one side of the dichotomy of energy/matter. As for as energy being an "eternal force", well there's no way to quantify that. There's no way to obse...
