  • Are women generally submissive to men?


    Because the ethics of men reduces to looking the most awesome, and being the most dominant.

    As in, of course it's demeaning, that's why it's all yours...
  • What Philosophical School of Thought do you fall in?
    I got Skepticism too, what are the odds?

    No, I don't have a 100% complete understanding of how anything works. The detailed particular factual information about anything at all is surely overwhelmingly complex and particular, that no one's head could contain it. The idea is that the ground is made of general principles, which we can gain access to through correlating observation with higher and higher levels of abstraction. No one's understanding was ever complete, and was based on the observation and comparison of things, of which we have closer, further, and more refined views of these days.

    Nothing like that when it comes to morality. What the good is, and how to live one's life. Find anyone that doesn't suck, or says anything interesting that isn't just pointing at tradition, while claiming to be near/entirely perfected in character?

    Show me any of them that has any fucking clue, lol.
  • Do you feel more enriched being a cantankerous argumentative ahole?


    He was too busy vicariously plotting world domination.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    Even though this is sure to alienate those I have always loved and identified with the most, I'm no exception, and this ought to be clear. Everything I've gained, I've stolen too, and don't actually understand. I fucking hate being judged, being seen as deficient, or anything but good. I'm deeply scarred from my childhood, and all of the terrible judgments I received. I hate it so so fucking much. I don't claim to be the best at anything, I just continually imply that I'm the most moral, and just, and know all of the most moral truths. I stole them all, and only know they're true because of the results, and that is all.

    I can tell you what will happen if this or that occurs, or how this implies that, and so forth, but I have no fucking clue if it's good or not. I still don't know my moral standing, not really. I know that I'm great at discerning what is factual, and reasonable, but I have no fucking clue if it's good or not -- or the value of it. Every one of them stole it from tradition, and could only ever refer back to tradition to justify it -- or just their own magical fiat... and when they refused to submit, their lives concluded in destructive insanity.

    That's how things appear to me. That's what I really believe. I'm not super human though, could be wrong.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    Both have to submit, as both have opposing/complimentary dominant faculties. All Jungian stuff really.

    If men don't submit to women, they'll be nihilistic/ have no sense of value. If women don't submit to men, then they'll be delusional/ have no sense of meaning.

    Men trying to be super moral and judgmental, and women trying to be super reasonable, and truthful are doing it wrong. They're attempting to wield unconscious faculties in competition to people that have those as their dominant faculties, and rendering themselves idiots in the process.
  • Problem with the view that language is use
    Meaning is use in the tower of babel, when the logos is lost or confabulated. Words do in fact refer back to experience every single time, and if not that, then they refer to warped intentions, and confusion.

    Adam gave everything its name remember. Don't think that it's easily fucked with.
  • How would you live if you were immortal?
    Not aging past 30, I'd miss out on a vast swath of the human condition, and never be able to truly correlate my experiences to the very general experiences which make us language, and thought. Everything would be different than it had ever been for another, and you'd be entirely alone, with no one that ever truly understood the conditions of your existence.

    Fear of death is fear of life. "Unfinished business", feeling that one missed out on facets of the human condition at pivotal points in their development -- but they procrastinate, and fear living, and because they know that their time is limited, and the psychological future never arrives (putting stuff off until later, just makes one better and better and putting stuff off until later, and "later" never arrives), so they wish for an infinite amount of time to twiddle their thumbs in avoidance.

    Short answer... if I were immortal, I'd stress test that shit... lol
  • Achieving Stable Peace of Mind
    You're repressing yourself was going to be my second guess. Quit that job, take less money or whatever, the things aren't worth the misery for yourself, which trickles down to your family.

    If your beliefs are that you have to be certain ways that you rarely feel, and pursue goals that you don't actually want, then yeah those are wrong -- but I think that you already know that it's the reduction in autonomy, and a reduction in leash length.
  • Achieving Stable Peace of Mind
    Then, forgive me if I'm wrong, but you probably also have a history of inactivity, and laying around. Move around me, get up and dance.

    I hold too much weight in my upper body, and am prone to anger. Compassion/ da love energy comes from the hips. So that walking around, dancing around, and just being up on my feet long enough makes me a lot calmer, and happier, and enjoyable to be around. Laying around, or sitting driving, and stuff like that, the longer I do it, the easier I'll be to enrage.

    Working on it, ideally I'm going to move my weight lower, and get more compassion, and less fury.

    oops thought this was shout box... delete?
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    It's not a stereotype, women literally have more nerve endings in the skin, and are literally more sensitive than men. The brain is bio-electrical, and hormone washes cause neurons to fire, and testosterone makes them fire more easily, with less build up.

    There are of course aberrations, and nothing is 100% always true all the time, but exceptions don't break the rule. Something being true of 90% of something doesn't deligitimize it.

    To not stereotype, just don't reason from wholes to parts, but from parts to wholes. As in, knowing that this is true, don't automatically think that it 100% has to be true a priori. Confirm it every time first. That's all.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    I'll answer the poll. Physically yes, emotionally no.

    Both, and neither.

    33

    Physically yes, emotionally no.

    No, they tend to think men are gullible, and this makes them intellectually inferior, and in some ways it does -- but they're prone to paranoia.

    Philosophers are generally submissive, in that excessive growth in one area, tends to imply deficiencies in another.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    I will say though, that I see his physical secret. The image of the lotus reveals it, and combined with my scientific biological knowledge, I also believe that I see a weakness in it... but the Buddha was 36, when he decided that he was done (one must also eventually cease the desire for further growth), so I still have three years to catch him.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    Although I'd like to believe that it's just that I'm so damn courageous, or brave, but not really. Look how long it took me... look how prepared I needed to be?

    No, it's desire, delusion, aversion. The Buddha is still quite a bit above me. He needed to be even more prepared.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    I wouldn't say they are all deceptive, but some can certainly beLone Wolf

    I in absolutely no sense said or implied that.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?


    Women are more beautiful, and have superior sympathetic abilities. They don't need to be deceptive, although they're fucking brilliant at it... it's no different than physical violence in its damage to the body, and mind.

    We can all be honest about where our weaknesses and strengths are, stop attacking each other and ourselves, and all grow the fuck up. That would be some cool in my view.
  • Is Meaning Prior To Language?
    Math is also a map, and particular systems are not part of the intuition. Quantification would dependent on signification. If it matters to be able to tell the difference between three and four of something, then you'd learn how to do that. That doesn't necessarily mean that you could count to three or four.

    Men are all ugly though... can't have everything...
  • Are women generally submissive to men?


    Shouldn't just repeat stuff you don't understand to look a certain way.

    It is that... though you're right.. it didn't happen at the beginning of the story... did my arrogance blind you?

    Nietzsche's friend came to him once after reading thus spoke Zarathustra, telling him that it didn't make any sense to him at all. So he replied "and that is precisely as it should be".
  • Are women generally submissive to men?


    Got anything of substance to object to, or just wanna ankle bite?

    I'll add that Trump is the kind of guy that people want to do what he wants, and be around because they fear the consequences. I'm the kind of guy that people want to do what they want and be around when they're thinking "fuck the consequences".

    His physical discipline has improved a lot too in the last couple of years, and he'll tell you why. Try honesty.
  • Are women generally submissive to men?
    I feel that Jordan Peterson's best stuff is coming from me, rather than the other way around. He also has the same last name as my mom's maiden name, and we're both Canadian, so we may even be related. I did email him, to ask about finding a mate like a week or so ago, but he didn't respond directly to me. I also asked if he was following me, lol. A lot of videos about that have been posted on youtube since then, and in one he even mentions the drawbacks of RH blood, as making you smell kind of "brotherly" apparently, regardless of your symmetry. My mom is in fact RH negative, and continually goes on and on about her alien super blood. Though I believe that my blood type is my Dad's, like AB or something like that, dunno.

    In any case, I doubt that that would be as true across different races, I wouldn't... hopefully... think.
  • Parenting...
    It's not about blame, it's about her health. I don't need her to trust me, or feel safe... those shouldn't in any way be a prerequisite.
  • Parenting...
    Lying attacks the intuition, tells you "don't believe your senses, believe me instead", and is a physical and emotional assault. No different than just physically beating people into submission. It causes analogous mental, emotional, and physical damage to real assault. That is no exaggeration. It's the exact same fucking thing.

    People do it so often because they don't understand the consequences.

    Being yourself is the only thing that will ever truly make you happy.
  • Parenting...
    She lies a lot to everyone, and although she isn't actually very good at it, she is good at looking pitiful, and older, more numb people are ridiculously easy to slip lies by, she just makes herself look pitiful. So when I first got her there were like five social workers/therapists circling, and calling me every other day, wanting to do custody mediation or what now. I basically just ignored them until they wen't away. Her physical and mental health began to dramatically improve here, and I let her dress, and be the ways she wanted and thing. So they just stopped bothering me. I really get my Dad to do all of the stuff like talk to schools, and take her to appointments and things. I tend to be too busy working any.

    We arranged a joint custody thing. It would be difficult to get full custody from my Mom, she would want to retain any support money she is receiving from her. Though I'm sure that I could arrange to just pay the difference back to her if I wanted to.

    I am doing it half-assed though, and need to make up my mind, and either accept or reject this situation completely. Just that she lies so so much to me and everyone all the time, and thinks that she's the smartest that ever lived, and I'm probably a crazy idiot, just like mom... but easy to manipulate. So, since just before this thread, when I cleaned myself up, I started calling her on that shit, and continue to.

    I really need her to start being honest with me... but I fear that having never even seen such a thing before, that she may not even be able to tell the difference at the moment, and that's going to take a lot of work.
