The problem isn't societal upheaval inasmuch as it is a logic error in Walfin's philosophy: the sets "The Weak" and "The Strong" are poorly defined, turning his idea of a slave revolt into a comical paradox. If we want to be kind, we can even call this problem Walfin's Paradox, wherein exist...

Why are you so intent on not getting back up? :confused: It's nice outside. And what did you daydream about? As for getting up, consider that your daydream would be lucid, and that you would eventually want to do something 'real'. Semantics are very important to the understanding of an...

Ooooh! Computers! Fun! :) My solution is expensive, but it will solve your problem impeccably, give your son and you a bonding experience, and save money in the long run. The Goliath: Physical Construction: Step 1.) Buy a gigantic server tower with nothing in it. Step 2.) Install a...

What does "psycho" refer to? It sounds like the rumbling and squealing of distant tank treads. -Duxwing

You have an implied axiom of pleasure, so not caring would be self-contradictory, and your logic appears to be intended to be internally consistent. As am I. However, I'm frustrated by your having not replied to the entirety of my previous previous post. By your own words, you want to...

I didn't mean that strangeness was bad. I meant that strangeness exists here. A person with three arms, for example, is strange to me, but I don't dislike them for having a third arm. -Duxwing

Albeit, an almost empty map can be very exciting when you go Recon hunting with your trusty suppressed, rifle-scoped, straight-pull-bolted M24. But to take proximity scan is to give up either my Autoloader or IR Smoke (I can't recall which slot it falls into). As for killing the enemy first...

Awww. :) -Duxwing

Awwww, you're a dad? -Duxwing

The following text is charged with emotion. Please wear proper safety equipment before handling. They talk trash about me behind my back, they talk down to me because of my age, and I go ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC! I have feelings! I've spent my entire life getting talked down to like that! And...

64 Player Conquest on Metro + Explosives - Autobalance = Meat Grinder 64 Player Conquest + Jets = Valhalla I love being a fighter pilot in BF3: the multidimensional, skill-based, single combat of loops and dives and rolling scissors is exhilarating. Almost as exhilarating as playing what I...

I appreciate your humor, but it isn't helping. :( I loathe these sorts of emotionally charged interpersonal conflicts, but I keep getting dragged into them. And now I just feel sad and angry and confused. :storks: -Duxwing

I'm ready to chew Chad's head off again. Grrrrr... that razzin' frazzin' framing-me-for-his-crimes no good projecting son of a fallacy makes me want to find an ax. -Duxwing

If you want to call me out and talk trash, then have the courage to mention me. I don't look for grammar and spelling errors in your writing. They stick out like sore thumbs. For example-- and perhaps you did the following deliberately as a gambit-- you misspelled "serious" by leaving out its...

You wouldn't even address the rest of my post! How can you have the gall to complain about derailment? -Duxwing

How are you blaming this on me? I simply brought the point up-- frankly, not even broaching the subject in the way that he interpreted it-- and he turned it into a huge discussion! -Duxwing

I don't see the conflation. Could you enlighten me? -Duxwing

Note: I don't intend the following to belittle you. Writing that has misplaced or absent commas, homonphonic misspellings, and rampant use of pronouns with unclear antecedents can be unintelligible, not to mention physically painful to read. Breaking the rules of proper spelling and grammar...

Really? We three are in agreement. :D The INTP debate anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWxBrI0g1kE -Duxwing

No need to use a page where a sentence will do. :) And given that you don't care about writing, I suggest that you use less of it. Hm. I had this experience between ages 11 and 13; later, years of debating taught me when to doubt and when to trust. It was grueling at times, but very much...

So you just doubt yourself more now? -Duxwing

So what do you want to change, more specifically? -Duxwing

My point was that the philosophy of the ubermensch is not equivalent to "primitive male dominance". It's more like, "Seize the day and be yourself! Just don't be a jerk." -Duxwing

Existing conservative power structures are built on slave morality's interaction with the morality of unethical people, not on the philosophy of the ubermensch; the ubermensch would never enslave himself to another. Moreover, the ubermensch needs no slaves, for in respecting his own free will...

There's nothing wrong with it, sure, but there's nothing 'right' with it, either. Killing oneself is the 'ultimate' answer when one ruthlessly eliminates all strains on a system; yet such an answer defeats the purpose for which such a system was made, namely to serve us.

Causality makes every agent 'reactive'; the question of the future of the human race is really one of psychology. Do you have a will to do things, to excite yourself? Eternal, motionless contentment is boring, and if we were to remove our ability to feel boredom, then entering such a state...

Tell him that he's better off with his own kidneys and a healthier lifestyle than with your kidney and his current one. Phrasing it thusly is not cold, but very loving and warm. -Duxwing

Hehehe! :) -Duxwing

Oh, I feel much better n-- wait, you consider yourself a god? :confused: -Duxwing

First, my condolences. Watching your father suffer is grief enough. To have this decision put upon you is all the worse. I agree with Solitaire U. Provided that your father is already otherwise terminally ill, transplanting a kidney into him would only effect a brief delay of his inevitable...

I didn't notice it because I often start posts, laze around for an hour or two, and then finish them. I'm terribly sorry for having seemed to have plagiarized. I didn't mean to! :o -Duxwing

Though I disagree with the OP, the truth of a philosophy and one's adherence to it are entirely separate. -Duxwing

But wait, what happened, exactly? -Duxwing

Accepting the 'meaninglessness' of your life is much easier when you realize that you were perfectly fine without 'meaning' and that 'meaning,' if found, would be incomprehensible to humans. One could even reasonably conjecture that 'meaning' is really just codified, accepted emotional judgment...

But wouldn't this philosophy create an infinite recursion wherein the strong, upon losing their power, become weak, and therefore deseriving of power,-- and the weak, upon attaining power, become strong, and therefore undeserving? -Duxwing

Human meat would give you everything that you'd need in meat, but also everything that you don't: human meat doesn't alter the balance of nutrients when consumed, so your lacks will go unfulfilled, and your excesses will be driven ever-higher. The meaninglessness of existence eliminates the...

Hehehe! -Duxwing

Remember that scientists are all presumably scrutinizing each others' work and thereby preserving the accuracy of scientific knowledge; hence, one only need to be sure that the scientific community at large is skeptical, honest, and scientific in order to trust in science. Religion is a whole...

You can avoid having temporary flaws in your knowledge if you're willing to accept having temporary holes in it. Learn one 'chunk' at a time, but learn each chunk perfectly, and you will no longer be tormented by the urge to learn. Regarding the storage, great! Parents can be so helpful...

Oof! Ouch. Perhaps it was your kitten-in-a-blanket avatar framing your post, but I feel comforted by your words. And more importantly, I see your point about several important topics. Thanks! I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but no duh, dude! I want to continue existence as a subject...

You're only human, Reluctantly. We can't think and research forever; yet I understand that big topics can seem oh-so-delicious. Try thinking of the topics that you think about as subjects in school. Show up 'in class,' learn, and then, after a set time, stop and move on to the rest of your...

I remember doing that as a kid. I'd pretend that I was out in a trench, oddly enough, hunkering down behind a piece of cover as bullets lazily whizzed overhead. I'd be asleep in minutes. -Duxwing

To analogize life to watching I Love Lucy is to imply that life exists to be watched—that it is a spectacle to observe and become bored with. And perhaps you are right. But could the answer to becoming bored of I Love Lucy re-runs be to write your own? To, in the words of Sharkboy and...

It's a joke, Absurdity. I was trying to make a joke about how I looked coming here. Didn't you notice the references to teddy bears and pacifiers? -Duxwing

How is it a 'point of view'? You're asking him a question and then answering it for yourself-- and I don't mean to sound bothersome. You'll just save yourself a bunch of typing if you just ask and wait for his answer. -Duxwing

I don't think it's working. -Duxwing

Dear Forum, Blankie and teddy in hand, I've come here to ask for help. I'm tormented by despairing thoughts whenever I try to sleep; in a sense, my Ti kicks into hyperdrive and analyzes my day, my life, my values, and the entire universe as I know it in the brief span between snuggling in...

You might want to let him answer your questions first, then reply. -Duxwing

Ohhh, :( *hug* *there there* Let it all out. -Duxwing
