GENIUS FORUMS

David: It is not meant to be an explanation, but an aid to reorientating the mind so that it can realize that the problem is not real, that it is a product of delusion. Nature, by definition, has no explanation. It is beyond the need for explanation. Asking what caused it or what happened beforehand...

Kant said the idea that the universe has a beginning is just as inconceivable as the idea that it is eternal. The physical universe is the merging point between two infinities. An infinity of fullness/expansion and an infinity of emptiness/contraction. They 'merge' together much like floating oil i...

David: This is how it is with all things. In one sense, things appear to exist. In another sense, nothing is really there at all. "This is how it is with all things" - including things such as ultimate truths for instance!! What I am on about lately is trying to get you guys to word your ...

The only way I can interprete your statement is that knowledge is either total or non existant, is this correct? The QRS are fundamentalists. That is they have decided that they know enough and are incapable of taking more refined knowledge in. In some ways however they are correct, their 5 or so k...

Dan: Any thing is what it is because it appears in relation to what it is not; that is, any thing requires what is not that thing for it to be what it is. If it was not for this boundedness, this relation to other things, this demarcation by other things, the thing in question would necessarily be ...

David: Consciousness is necessary for the existence of things, but the Totality itself is non-dual in nature and cannot be described in terms of either consciousness or non-consciousness. It doesn't have any form at all. Kevin: There are as many things as you decide to divide reality up into. There...

Good points Kevin. "Buddhism is an increasingly popular choice for westerners these days with its distinctive mix of cowardice, escapism and self-absorption." What do folks think of this point? It resonates with me, but at least it is still the least worst of the religions, and the Dali La...

The Sunday Times October 23, 2005 God save the heretic CHRISTOPHER HART Jonathan Swift observed that the problem with religion was that there wasn’t enough of it around: “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” Three centuries on there is even...

The relationship between genius (or delusions of such granduer) and syphilis is quite interesting. I actually think I might have syphilis and not know it. Must get myself checked out. I lot of the effects seem to be similar to maladies that I have had. I had anal sex with some chick about 20 years a...

Kevin: Given that "nature" has been defined to mean "everything", ie, the Totality, then what could possibly cause it? By definition there is nothing other than itself. I have a henid idea that this is not actually true. I would prefer to define the totality as every existing th...

From Kelly's paper "Here follows an analysis of the popular, but logically flawed, belief that "Truth is in the eye of the beholder". This belief is supposed to be an absolute truth. It means that, when there is no beholder present, then falsehood reigns." It has never meant that...

You're not understanding what I'm saying. If it is logically the case that a thing necessarily has causes, then it is logically the case that case that cause and effect goes back forever. To repeat, this is purely a logical issue. It has nothing to do with taking things on faith, nor is it an issue...

What I really want to know is how many of these idiot posters are the same person.

Of the ten nicks I have the least regard for, I reckon they'd end up as about 3 actual people.

I generally just assumed that one's intelligent muse, or those situations in which a persons best ideas are constructed, is merely one of a shutting down distractions so as to allow intense concentration. Concentration is the opposite of the manner in which we generally conceptualise it. It is not a...

the purpose of fine art is mental development.

Why?

Kierkegaard was pretty well just a nutcase caught up in the illusion of the worth of wisdom, which has become a self-love, just like all other things one values. The fact that wisdom is useful and practical to humans has no bearing on reality. Overall, I don’t have much respect for him, although h...

David and his use of the word Genius. Yes it is a hijacking of the word. It should be prefixed with the word spiritual. Art v illustration – I don’t really believe the word ‘art’ has much meaning. Art is always a personal thing not subject to the values of others. In a way Art is all activit...

The main reason you are insane is that you constantly seek attention. That is your whole game plan about life, you use insanity to gather attention from others. You, my dear, are just a pathetic little child. Of course, though no need to personally fret though because you have been caused to be the ...

I've just come across this partial e-book. The Structure of the Physical Universe by Dewey B. Larson. http://www.rsystem.org/spu/index.htm It is old (1959) and I haven't yet read it but the few pages I read so far seem to be pretty well on the mark. I get the impression he will end up being far more...

and the QRS don't bother removing 'insanites' like this. ...

go figure

No wonder this forum is fucking dead

"He couldn't cope with reality". Comedians turn to comedy precisely because they can't cope with expereiences of reality when young. Impressing other people with humour becomes an outlet for their sensitivity - without it they fret and get depressed, unless of course something else replace...

The Right has been complaining a lot about here appointment. personally I think this is just reverse physcology politics, by them complaining they take the wind out of the sails of the liberals. It takes the media story out of the liberals control and prvents them from using it as a tool to attack t...

What is money, truely?

A formal organisational device which sets the parameters of competing greed in an effort to minimise physical conflict. It allows a wider market for one's efforts, which has the effect of minimising the degree of rule LOCAL power holders have over individuals.

I have the feeling we should be active in fighting against these religious liers. How about we communally draft a post about truth that we can go around trolling forums with? The Supreme Court could turn very ugly. MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, ha...
