He really is the most retarded genius in the room sometimes.
All this reading he did about the horrors of the 20th century and he doesn't realize the some people are truly evil and can't be reasoned with. They can only be contained or destroyed.
Any compromise is just an opportunity for them to fortify their positions and sharpen their knives. Any overture is seen as weakness and an opportunity to strike.
There is no meeting in the middle with people who will try to get you fired if you say a man can't turn into a woman. They only understand force. They use social and economic violence now, and with increasing frequently physical violence because they can get away with it to hurt their perceived enemies.
You don't win by defense, in fact defense that isn't in service toward preserving resources for a future attack is a waste. You ensure safety by making your enemy unwilling, or unable to attack you.
lol, "the most retarded genius in the room". I'll never get why guys this smart and who seem to be on the up and up, almost, just, aren't. I mean, he knows about IQ but has never said much in the way about race and IQ. Maybe that's because he knows he's already on the list and that's too far, or maybe he's oblivious. It can be maddening.
he is not smart, he is well read.
to quickly come up with a comparison. it's like atlas shrugged being a very enjoyable read but the author is a fucking retard.
she just put the words of better men into the mouths of her protagonists. he just reigurates wisdom of men beyond his comprehension.
I guess it's intelligence vs. wisdom. I think he would do well on an IQ test. I agree though that his stuff isn't new, the work of others, but re-introducing it to a new generation that needs it has value. His weird diet makes me think he might be uh, a bit loony though. One of the potential dangers of higher IQ. Ayn Rand seemed quite smart too, but again, don't know how wise, or how much she her own rules. I know there some sort of affair shenanigans. I've always meant to read Atlas but rarely have come upon someone who found it enjoyable. I just like some of her philosophy so thought I should give it a try sometime.
i read his rules for life thingie, i have no problems with that, wish i had read it as a child.
but thats it. he is a good influence for teenagers with that. but nothing beyond. with i guess should be the goal of that book.
Leftism and it's origin of slave morality (as per Nietzsche), is evil. Not that it's predecessor, master morality, was superior, but humanity must overcome both.
As of now, we have not.
Yep, there's nothing misguided about what they're doing. It's all blatantly deliberate.
I don't care if the man loading my family onto a boxcar is evil or simply misguided. Our survival depends on my ability to kill him before we are forced to board the train either way.
No, it's your ability to throw commies out of your property.
I don't give a fuck if some commietopia elsewhere decides to kill themselves off. Good luck for your utopia, I say.
