PostSubject: Unique Individuality Abundant Overflow EmptyThu Apr 17, 2014 10:57 pm

Uniqueness and Individuality stem from male nature.

Females attempt to copy and mimic a male. This is most obvious in dancing, music and singing. In dancing there is a "lead" and follower. The lead is predominantly taken by the male. Rarely, or never, does the female take the lead during a traditional, european style dance. An example of this is ballroom dancing like the Waltz. In music, females often sing vocally while the male plays an instrument. The female mimics the note, melody, and rhythm of the song.

Males produce, females consume the production, and then females echo the production back to imitate it as close as possible.


A mass example of this is the production of european culture, and the mimicry and reproduction of it by east asian orientals. Orientals are a feminine race, while europeans are masculine, in terms of culture. East asians tend to replicate european classical arts, including music and theater. Orientals are exceptional at copying european culture, similarly as western culture is becoming integrated into the east.


But rarity also exists. Sometimes a male is so exceptional, like predominant male philosophers, that these males are never replicated. They are too skilled, representing "Genius". Genius is a level of talent to which inferior try to replicate, but fail. In some european classical composition, composers would write insanely difficult piano pieces, to which no pianists could play exceptionally or with skill, until a "virtuoso" piano player was born, and could play such tremendously difficult songs.

The same holds true with ideas and philosophy. Sometimes, rare in history, a thinker is born and produces ideas, which none can reproduce or replicate during the contemporary age. The philosopher dies, and it is not until centuries later, or even millenniums, that another thinker is born, who has the skill to replicate such old, ancient, timeless ideas. Or expand on them, improve them, or develop entirely new ideas.

Nietzsche was the last, the previous philosopher of the world, who drew breath. How many centuries will pass, or millenniums, until he is passed and transcended?

Was Plato or Aristotle ever transcended, ever beaten by a subsequent philosopher? Have we, have you or I, has "humanity" truly "improved" on such ancient ideas, yet??? And if not, then when?

Genius is the result, the conclusion of unique individuality.

Some minds cannot become replicated, while most, especially the average and the lowly, are replicated and copied much too easily.

PostSubject: Differential Need Abundant Overflow EmptySat Apr 19, 2014 12:21 pm

Sure an interloper can copy+paste philosophical ideas from philosophers.

It's not difficult. In fact it is too easy. So what does this imply about memetics? You can copy the ideas, the words, once they're produced by a thinker. But so many females miss the point. Can you think as the thinker does? Can you reproduce true memetics? Not just the ideas and words, but can you reproduce the rationale, intent, and motive behind them? Can you reflect the perspective?

No, you cannot, usually because you do not care. You are a female. But, you don't care enough about your male target to truly "get into his head" and look the worth "through his eyes". You are female, therefore, self absorbed. You are not made to be a hunter, but a gatherer. You are too solipsistic for philosophy. You cannot see the world through my eyes, but my eyes can see through yours.

Empathy through perspective, put yourself into a different set of shoes. Can you see through the eyes of the other? I can.


Ultimately, the ability to empathize, and subsequently read the minds of others, is based on differences of perspectives. A perspective represents your brain, mind, thoughts, ideas, genes, personality. Your identity is your perspective. You exist in space and time, as a person. At least we gather from this information that you read and write English. Therefore you can become identified from this fact alone. You are part of a culture, therefore part of a society.

Most intelligent types can empathize deeper with lesser intelligence. But lesser intelligence cannot acquire the perspective nor empathize with the perspective of the highest. Mind reading is a top-down social phenomenon of intelligence. The highest intelligence, even beyond humanity, and the wisest, know the minds of the lessers. This is achieved by empathy, understanding, learning, and knowing.

I relate with you and your needs.

Now here is where the topic becomes complicated and tricky. Almost all humans have the same basic needs: clean air, water, food, shelter, etc. Once these basic needs are covered, and a human takes them for granted, then they are always provided. There is never a time in your life where you run out of clean air, water, food, and shelter. You will never be homeless, never starving, etc. Because the system, society, the institution is taking care of you.

But after you have all the basic needs met, then what? Then you crave social attention, sex, more money, maybe gambling or drugs, entertainment, arts, means to pass your time. You have "higher" needs, above those of starving Africans. You have different needs. You have wants, not needs. You already have and fulfill many basic needs. But you want more. This is a highest degree of need.

At the highest levels, your need is further differentiated. Not only do you consume entertainment, but, a specific type of entertainment.

Not only do you engage intellectual matters, but, specific types of intellectual matters, such as philosophy.

And the higher your needs rise, the more they become differentiated. It is in this fashion that need is never replicated. Just as one man prefers studying biochemical physics, and spends his lifetime devoted and specialized in science, maybe you devote your life to a religious sect, a faith, or maybe to philosophy on a forum, and a different type, a subset of philosophy.

Maybe, just maybe, you are here for specific reasons. And these reasons can become discovered and exploited. Your need brought you here, and keeps you here. You need or "want" philosophy in a specific way. And this specificity, a peculiarity, develops difference of personality into individuality. Your "wants", the highest and lightest form of need, separates you from humanity, a cut above the rest.

But your need is different than all. And needs cannot become replicated. No human can imitate hunger, starvation, and death. Imagine "imitating" an African starving in the third world, can you replicate this need? Do you want to? Do you want to empathize with this and them, why? Have you ever starved, for months and years? Have you starved for a decade? Can you truly, truly empathize? Or isn't it mostly that you don't want to? You don't want to put your head into somebody closer to animal nature, starving to death, and retains a much more simplistic and "stupid" mindset?

A base animal, predictable as his or her needs are predictable.

But the higher you go, the less you can reproduce such a need as well. Because we all understand hunger on a basic level, although most westerners cannot empathize nor sympathize with starvation. We still, all, understand hunger. But that is the difference between need and want. To need food, or to want food. Westerners never need food.

Therefore a level of empathy is never surpassed or trespassed, as the haves do not want to trespass into the minds of the have nots. There is a fence, a social barrier, of need and suffering. Just as there is one with pleasure as well.

Ultimately, the need of all individuals, is never replicated. And that is why, not even the best mime and mimic, a female who copy+pastes, will never truly "understand" the person she so desires to emulate and know. Because she reproduces the results, the conclusions, verbatim. She does not empathize. And if she does empathize, or tries to, then she still cannot bridge the gap between people, and understand the deepest rationale, the need.

Such as the need for philosophy, the base fulfillment of a curiosity greater than her own.



Conclusion

Want is the highest degree and realization of Need.
Want represents unique desires, different between every individual.
Wants cannot be replicated or predicted as easily as needs.
Because needs represent different values, some bodies are more easily fed than others.

Different values lead to different wants.
Therefore different values ultimately lead to different virtues, and vices.

PostSubject: Value Abundant Overflow EmptyTue Apr 22, 2014 4:47 pm

What is the value of a gift twice given?

A dozen times given?

The receiver convinces himself that, after the gift exchanges hands a dozen times, that he is "no different than the first", while simultaneously accepting the gift that apparently, nobody else wanted or needed as he does. And this difference of need, what does it signal about the value of the gift, the nature of the giver and receiver?

PostSubject: Presence Synthesis of Time Abundant Overflow EmptyThu May 01, 2014 10:15 pm

It is Presence, not the past nor future, that represents order and unchanging reality.

No organism can change "now". Only cognizant, highly evolved organisms with sophisticated consciousness, can attempt to realize "now". Now is Presence. Since time is always flowing, and spacetime is infinite, consciousness attempts to cognize, recognize, synthesize, and "sense" the world, through an inherited pathology. Neurology, cognition, synapses, the human central nervous system. The brain is the human organ of sensation, consciousness, and realization. Because what is reality?

Reality is the ordering, freezing process of the human brain, consciousness, conceptualizing the world and sectioning off phenomenon, as they transition from perceived sensual data, to memetic information data, noumenon. Information is transferred between "outer" world, otherness, to "inner" world, autonomous selfhood.

Actually, there is no difference, no separation between "inner" and "outer". This is a misperception, induced by natural organic solipsism. Consciousness has evolved dualistic interpretations of sense data, in order to synthesize data into memories. These are called "memes". Memes are the stored sensual data, into a memory system.

Human memories represent the "past", a sectioning and compartmentalization of phenomenon.

"Now" is not apprehended. Because "now", Presence, is the ongoing synthesis between "outer and inner" sensual experience.

Some humans have higher intelligence, up to a highest intelligence, that synthesizes information "superior", "better", "faster", efficiently, etc. compared to other humans. Humans have different pathology, reflecting different brain types, which further corresponds with different racial and specieal groups. Different groups of humans, have different brains, which excel at different purposes.

A "most intelligent" type of human brain is one that synthesizes sense data and information into what is called "true" experience. Or a more real, "realer reality".

"To see things as they actually are." Unimpeded, uninterrupted, for example, by systemic brain washing. You see a black man, and, associate dozens or hundreds of stereotypes to correspond with a black man. There are more processes involved which counteract human cognition, through social indoctrination, resulting in "I shouldn't be thinking this" or feeling guilt in thinking or naturally reacting to some types of data and experience.


Ultimately, what is "now" and present, is a lapse and segment of time, as small as nanoseconds, or ranging widely out to tens of seconds, to minutes, to an hour, where humans attempt to recognize sense data as experienced.

Some data is "harder" to accept than others. For example, humans meet a new person, or travel to a new location, or experience new sensations by scuba diving. Completely new experiences, diverse experiences, will cause mental stress. As new experiences must become synthesized in new ways, as a method of mental adaptation.

PostSubject: Limitations of Doubt Abundant Overflow EmptyFri May 02, 2014 11:49 am

You were convinced as a child that you are "alive".

You were convinced as a child that you are "loved".

You were convinced as a child that earth revolves around the sun.

By why, now as an adult, and now after a thorough experience of and participation within philosophy, are you still convinced of the premises above, that you always took for granted? Did you ever doubt them? And if you did not, then what are the other premises you rest your life upon, the foundation of your perspective, your metaphysics, that you still, to this day, refuse to doubt?

What is the limit of your philosophy?

Probability is the realization of a possibility.

To make a possibility real.
What is possible may exist in the past or future.
To make a past possibility real is to remember it and then replicate it.
The replication of past possibilities is a pattern. Order.
The realization of future possibility is a creation. Artifice.

Gene is material.
It is a cell.
It has a body, shape, and form.
Cells comprise tissues.
Tissues comprise organs.
Organs comprise animals.

Meme is immaterial.
It is an idea.
It has no body, shape, and form.
Ideas comprise experience.
Experience comprises memory.
Memories comprise minds.


Up is meme.
Down is gene.
Up is immaterial, spacetime, void.
Down is earth, ground, nature, mass, gravity.
Top-down thinking begins with the meme as its premise (nurture before nature).
Bottom-up thinking begins with the gene as its premise (nature before nurture).

PostSubject: Delicacy of Consciousness Abundant Overflow EmptyFri Jun 06, 2014 5:48 pm

If the mind is the top height of humanity, consciousness its immaterial product, then body is the bottom. Mind is likened with humanity. Body is likened with animalism. This is the classical, european, western, mind body dualism dichotomy. The brain and mind is up, toward sky or heaven. The body and instinct is down, toward earth or hell.

Assuming this dichotomy is true, then a simple induction is made about consciousness. Since it is least material, least substantive, ephemeral, spiritual, etc, then it is also most fleeting. Consciousness is delicate. It is easiest to disrupt. And this is easy to observe. Think about thought. It switches, moves, and "flows" from one moment to the next, from idea to the next. From one letter to the next, from one word to the next. From idea, to idea, to idea. And this constant process of consciousness is called the human cognition.

Man is above all animals precisely, and only, because of his intellect.

But just as consciousness is delicate, so too is life, as life is connected to the consciousness. A comatose patient is argued by philosophers to be "alive but not living". Consciousness is an integral aspect of life. Because what are you, after your consciousness is removed. Are you, still, you?


Because all of this is true, consciousness is directly linked with time or "change". Consciousness is awareness of time, or the rate of change of phenomenon. A "higher" consciousness, therefore a higher intellect, is most aware of time and change. An intelligent person may even have the fastest thought process, or quickest types of thoughts. The "hyper sensitivity" effect.

Because not all consciousnesses were created equal. There is a hierarchy of intellect, higher and lower, and this effectively puts higher intellect above animals, into humanity. This is the common dualism. So any notion of equality here must be cancelled and removed. Human equality is false. Because if humans were equal, or had equal intellect, then how would humanity be possible?

The very possibility of humanity rests on the premise that man is higher than animal.

The mere existence of consciousness is evidence and constitutes proof of this.

PostSubject: Technology Abundant Overflow EmptyMon Jun 09, 2014 4:43 am

The modern invention of the computer is the most powerful technology that mankind has yet devised.

A computer mimics the functions of the human brain. A computer is named after computing. A computer is a computation device. And this is the essential function of the brain, to compute, or convert, sense data into memories. Computation mostly corresponds with the experience of sense data. The majority of average brains, is first spent on sensing and immediately perceiving the world. This is most obvious in child development, by how an infant eventually learns to walk and speak.

To walk requires a lot of coding and programming. But computer techs are already exponentially learning to program computers and robots to walk similar to a human. Eventually we will have computers and robots who are programmed to do complex movements, such as a robotic gymnast. These robots eventually will have super human capabilities and achieve feats currently unimaginable to the mundane manimal.

Given all this, there is a point to be made about the overall analogy.

The human brain is to hardware,
As a metanarrative is to software.

The software is human programming, culture, language, religion. Liberalism. Secular Humanism. Whatever bullshit you fancy. To learn a language is to learn to program a certain set of people associated with this culture.


You can have a human with the best brain, the highest intelligence, the best hardware on the market. But, so what? You fill this best hardware up with bullshit, bugs, errors, poorly written programs, junk, shit software, and you waste the potential of the hardware. Great hardware requires great software. You can put great software on bad hardware. But this combination will breakdown often. It will self destruct. It will over clock itself. It will over heat. You can put bad software on good hardware. This is just a waste of memory and disk space.

What humanity knows of high intelligence is good hardware with good software.

Unintelligence is bad software on bad hardware.

Most people are mediocre manimals with bad software on good hardware, representing deficiency of culture, or good software on bad hardware, representing deficiency in breeding and mate selection.

To create is to discover new possibilities outside the area of your inherited knowledge.

The physical process of this, is learning.

To learn is to expand knowledge, is to become aware of possibilities previously considered impossible, or simply possibilities previously unknown.

PostSubject: Choice Abundant Overflow EmptySun Jun 29, 2014 4:17 pm

Consider the brown and black races of humans. They don't need instructions to have sex, as they do this naturally without enticement. The average brown or black person, in any country and society of the world, have a high amount of children. Left unchecked, this creates an innate racial population imbalance. This is something u.s. is currently attempting to manage with our own brown and black population.

But white and yellow people, do require instruction, as proved by white Mormon christians. In Mormonism, and other variations of religious radicalism, some white populations are specifically instructed to have lots of children. This form of instruction, enticement, and encouragement, demonstrates perhaps the greatest difference of racial attributes.

Whites have a low birthrate, blacks a high birthrate.
Whites are farther away from nature, higher than nature, and creatures of artifice and culture.
Blacks are closest to nature, lower than nature, and creatures of instinct and anti culture.

This leads to the creation and possibility of choice in nature.

Because it is not until you can deny nature, until you develop the ability to suppress and repress instinctive tendencies, like having sex, that you can have any "choice" in life. And this is the nature of choice and "freedom". With respect to all other biology and organism, animals only act on instinct and within the capacity of their nature. But the human animal can, and does, specifically deny nature. Some humans deny themselves nutrition and growth.

This is a restriction of resource consumption.

Rich and upper class white women, specifically, demonstrate the point the best. These females have access to all the resources, privileges, and rewards of the world. But the upper class white woman is thin, not fat, why is this?

Because she can eat the best food, and the most amount of it, she does not. She restricts herself, even stays thin, amid the highest abundance of resource. She could have a dozen children, but does not.

Why not?

Because only the highest types of human can choose. It is not until you have the resources in front of you.....not until you have the sexual offers and opportunities in front of you...that you can choose.

Presumably, after accepting this observation, the only truth about choice occurs after the initial denial of instinct. After instinct is denied, then it becomes re expressed and redirected. The highest humans, the most 'civil', artificial, and also the most 'cultural', are ones who can and do deny nature, and then focus this reshaped nature in a new direction.

This phenomenon immediately leads to the ideas of choice, freedom, artificiality, civilization, recreation, and culture.


A white mormon first denies his and her instinct to have many children, despite the abundant opportunities to do so, and then subsequently must be instructed to have sex and reproduce by Mormon priests who represent their christian god.
