Of course you're not telling me what to do, you're too much of a bitch. That is why you're not white.

The only place for my kind is in Soho.

words and concepts are fine, the trouble is when we mistake words for reality, and they become idols for us, instead of tools, standards by which we measure. when we ascribe to them value outside of the world, and when we take them out of context.

far be it from to prescribe, but, maybe we can build culture and civilization, as individuals and as a whole, just more cautiously, less recklessly. maybe things don't turn out exactly the same, no matter what we do, just more similar than we think. slow down a little, think, count the cost. remember positive and negative, yin and yang, cannot so easily be separated. complete fatalism leads to madness or paralysis, dualism and free will leads to another kind of madness.

Bingo!!!

It's the absence of passion in her life that brings her hear, but then when she taste's it she runs off all hurt.

For her passion must be benevolent, calm, soothing, "positive" or else it is vile.

What brings me "hear", is a courtesy visit. I was taught good old fashined manners.

It is only kind that I should reciprocate.

But here, hear I will. Tell me darlings, news of the front.

The libido is always attached to the creative drive.
When it does not become directed towards procreative obsessions it turns into artistic creativity.

The passions when not controlled, guided by a dominant will, they surrender to primordial necessities, as these are evolved and established methods of behavior - path-of-least-resistance.
It is the development of higher intelligence that can lead to the ascetic ideal where the passions are either denied or directed.

There is no cost or sacrifice if the other balances it out, right?
Nothing can possibly go wrong, when there is no....right or wrong...right?
Your fatalism, determinism, and declarations of what 'is' and not what can be are actually wrong.
It's fine and swell to find patterns, to have philosophical inputs....when they're stable.
But your arguments are fragile, your opinions are loose...

What is a drawing except a heathen version of written language?
Any child or unlearned being can imitate what they see, or scribble different shapes and lines with no meaning or communicative purpose; social interest comes later.
Therefore, to create a game or system wherein each member can participate is a mature and refined version of our creative talents.

Therefore, these symbols you see everywhere are the accumulated semiology of mankind's entire past; a semiology made accessible to everyone, in our time.
Why particular gestures and symbols acquire particular meanings should be sought out in biology.
Nothing mystical about it.

For example, why is the sound "sh" associated with silence or a calming affect in more languages than just English?
This is not accidental...there are organic reasons associated with human development and human history.

Body language is key ;]
We are very complex and this is not something we learn in school.

There is much to listen to regarding appearance and gestures made.
Vatican secrets...Italian hand movements etc.

2 Italians spontaneously 'invented' a system of blinking, hand movements & body movements for the CIA and code language. It's basically like having the abilitity to cast magical spells with just a tap of your foot...

"On November 3, 1986 Corine Christensen, a student of Bandler's, was shot dead in her townhouse with a .357 magnum owned by Bandler. He was charged with her murder, but at trial the jury unanimously acquitted Bandler after 5½ hours of deliberation.[4] The murder remains unsolved."

The complexity is overcome by evolution.
We already have the tools for recognizing most gestures and facial expressions and movement (activity). Deciphering it takes a connection with your own self: your primordial self, your past.

Know Thyself.

You already possess inside you, as you are the very manifestation of your entire past, the tools and ingredients necessary to make sense of most things.
A baby recognizes a smile. It does not need an expert to tell it what it is seeing.
You know when a banana is ripe, you do not require a chemical analysis to tell you.
And if your eyes fail you then your tongue will certainly not.

This shit about complexity comes form morons who either lack any self-awareness to make sense of themselves and the world around them or who have been trained to feel ashamed about it....resorting to simply calling it too complex to come to any definite conclusion.

Take liberals....women in particular:
They are attracted to a tall, handsome man, but they sell this spiel about beauty being skin-deep; they can see a black guy is different, but they sell this spiel about how it is far too complex a matter to decide superficially.

This is what modernity has resulted in: a form of self-censorship that feel good but is totally detached form reality; a kind of schizophrenia mounted on heaps of narcissism, calling itself enlightened and kind and good.

We are sold the idea that our sense do not matter, as there is a hidden essence to reality which equates us all.
Don't believe what you see, because it's superficial or an illusion...there is a deeper realm which is mystical and magical and where all things come together as one, but it is far too complex to get into...God as the too divine to be defined.
Get an expert here to give us all those graphs and numerical data proving that things are too intricate to come to make a judgment on...do not judge at all.
Be a zombie: a killing, fucking, eating machine with no ability to differentiate, judge or control itself.

Depends on what you're considering complex or non-complex.
A non-complex black person might consider it non-complex and unworthy of delving into, while someone who is in fact more complex, will pick-up on more.

It is the person who recognizes that there is indeed complexity that becomes complex. Recognizing that there are things which we are still unaware of is positive thinking that leads to evolution. Those who lack curiosity will not overcome.

Social language becomes smoother and intricate, as do our physical features, the more complexity we integrate within.
There are certainly complex beings, Satyr. Whether we have awareness of this complexity or not has no bearing on the complexity; it does help us to develop into the complexity that we tune into.

Many do not. They walk around cluelessly, with nothing natural about observing aspects of human nature.
It takes an already present level of complexity and intelligence to notice the extent of another's.

If we were each endowed with the same sensitivity to body language, there would be a lot more philosophical discourse on the matter. No one knows what the hell it means, even if they can sense it just a little, they can't define it.

Yes, and we're hinting towards something slightly more telling than 'just' a smile. Obviously any moron can see a smile, but can they see through a smile?

How about people that talk and talk and talk without the perception to know when no one is listening or doesn't want to listen. They're the type that thinks everything is just honky dory and wants to know about their day and their car troubles. They're simple- the type that listens to every little drama as if it mattered.

So could someone who is not so silly, and does that make it true?
Telling yourself or others that the world is not complex can be very comforting, and also very useful.

These women are often not very complex. They think about muscles and cock and bling. Do you really think they can smell the difference between a nigger or someone of their own kind?

I can, but this is natural to me. Many girls really don't have scent, or distinguished taste for men.

That's slick, that's smooth...I like that, am attracted to that, I want that is advanced sexual selection.
It also works for a person's imitation. To admire what one considers above them, and slowly progress towards it is betterment. So many have no real desire to reach a state of higher culture.

Blacks are especially prone to wanting to be what they are not because of this constant feeling of inferiority, but they also have the most room for evolution since they carry the most amount of genes.
Blacks can reach high social status, and often do as a way to prove themselves.

Whites are obviously naturally inclined to behave in such a fashion, and Jews are the best at the games we play.
Whites tend to be more 'pretty' and petite, delicate, avant garde. The women are dollish type cats.

Jewish peoples are less about upkeeping a sweet or cute appearance and more about their luxuries...

I cannot stand these lips:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

look up 'retard' in google and try to find any parody without an 'open' type of mouth....
open mouth leads to drool...

Pursed, thin lips say "I am closed, not easy to take advantage of"


Or as another example of body-speak, watch an Ayn Rand interview.

Her eyes absolutely bug out of her head (as do mine)...
They're searching, shifting to and fro.

She is about to burst into a sarcastic, condescending smirk, but cannot.
It's fun for her, always.

She lies, and the interviewer knows it, and they continue with this unspoken exchange of "Ayn, you sly fox"

Jewish lips, rather than being 'fat' and wide come out as if they've been pinched. They have a kind of frown they use, and a dimple withdrawal. It's like they're trying to look goofy.

Complexity is, therefore, a subjective term having to do with the individual's ability to perceive and to make sense of the (inter)connecting relationships and (inter)actions.

To accuse an other of simplifying things when he is saying that appearance matters or that race is not totally a superficial designation is an easy way to dismiss the complexities involved in assessing what appearance represents and how race comes about.
We begin with the knowledge that the senses do not evolve to trick us or mislead us....nor are their methods of generalizing and simplifying without merit, since they have successfully served the survival and domination of the organisms that depend upon them.
So, we begin with the recognition that appearances do matter and that they are more than simple and illusions....they are crucial and necessary.

Poison IV wrote:

Obviously to be capable of knowing one must first admit that he is ignorant.
Complexity is a term describing a level of (inter)activity which in relation to the perceiving mind is too intricate to find patterns in ans so is incapable of using: placing within a larger world-view.

Poison IV wrote:

There are certainly complex beings, Satyr. Whether we have awareness of this complexity or not has no bearing on the complexity; it does help us to develop into the complexity that we tune into.
Like I said, the term complexity is used to indicate ignorance or an inability o find pattern within the (inter)activity...we also call this chaos.
What makes individuals complex is the fact that they are more than their individual experiences and lifespans but are the product of generations upon intertwining generations all with their own experiences and relationships. Nevertheless, the individual appearance, the presence, is the sum total of all these complex (inter)actions and it is up to the perceiving mind to decipher the clues and to piece them together.
An eye for detail and an ability to construct coherent mental models is essential to this process of understanding or knowing the other.
Most of this occurs automatically, due to an evolved methodology based on a priori concepts.
for example, scientists have discovered the basic formula for beauty, symmetry on the physical plain because mental symmetry is more difficult to perceive and it usually becomes apparent after-the-fact or with more subtly. This is because although physicality is the accumulated experiences of the past, the mind is its ongoing manifestation.

So, with Greek sculptures they discovered that there was a mathematical formula involved in the placement of the eyes in relation to the nose in relation to the sloping of the forehead.
When a man sees a beautiful woman, in the prime of her fertile stage, he does not require an computer, an expert, some chemical analysis, a measurement...he picks up on the symmetry, the relationship of hip to waist ration, the harmony in the face the shine in the hair. The appearance is deciphered and the past is intuited.

But some minds are not content with just intuiting things; feeling them. They must know why and how...they must understand. This is a power desire. To know is to have power over that which is known. Some call this deconstruction or demystifying existence.

Poison IV wrote:
Many do not. They walk around cluelessly, with nothing natural about observing aspects of human nature.
It takes an already present level of complexity and intelligence to notice the extent of another's.
Indeed, and this is why I've said that you can fake being clueless but you cannot fake being wise or intelligent. When someone is faking it he must fake it downwards....this in itself is a power relationship. Because to imitate is to possess and possessing is a power relationship.

Poison IV wrote:

This is more true today where technologies can be used to mask a deficiency. One can get plastic surgery and cover up a physical defect; one can own books and a computer and pretend to be more knowledgeable that he is; one can purchase a good education, parroting it and pretending that he is more intelligent than he really is; one can compensate for being short by purchasing a big car or by becoming wealthy.
More than this, social rules that restrict human behavior also contribute to this illusion of uniformity.
We all behave in accordance to the same general rules in etiquette; we all sample from the same cultural reproductions; we all learn the same things in the same ways and then repeat them verbatim; we are all expected to behave in the same, general, ways, never overstepping the social rules.
This lends itself to the illusion that we are all the same or that we, at least, only differ in small ways.

The only divergence allowed is one acquired via the system itselff. The other rises to the top because he has played within the rules or has proven to be more useful to the system he has surrendered to...and then he is expected to remain humble and polite and offering hope and assistance.
To be elected President, for example, is to convince the most people who are by and large intellectually inferior to you that you are one of them or that you, at least, are not threatening to them.

Poison IV wrote:

When we speak of trickery on this level we are talking about more than the moment.
To fool the other is an evolutionary advantage...and to pick-up on it follows along. But some are very good at it, for a short spurt.
What is involved in seeing the fake smile is memory.....and this is where genius comes in, for it has to do with retaining an image in your mind as clearly as if you saw it recently; to then compare it with the immediate appearance and find discrepancies.
If, for example I meet someone and I remember his gestures and facial expressions then if I meet him again, at a much later time I can compare and find divergences which may require an explanation. The explanation might come with further contact.

Excessive talking means someone wants to be noticed; to be listened to. Having nothing interesting to say (s)he might repeat trivialities.

Again...complexity is a relationship of mind with that which it perceives.
To a monkey a spoon is complex. To a cow a fence is far too complicated to make sense of and to deal with.
You can draw a circle around a chicken and then let it lie...it will not move, though nothing is holding it down.

Poison IV wrote:

No, the world is complex because most of it is not perceived and unknown.
The majority of humans, on the other hand, are simple, but they like telling themselves that they are too complex to box in and too unique to comprehend.
If this were so marketing would be impotent and political propaganda would be laughable.

No equality is implied.

They can sense a difference but they cannot bring it into lucidity.

To understand humans, in all their simplicity, is to understand their basic instinctual drives as these adapt to the current environmental conditions.
for instance, an ambitious man, in the areas of social status and wealth, is a man driven by a basic instinct to have access to the most and the best quality females.
To forget this makes you surprised that Tiger Woods fucked around.
To forget this makes those pseudo-intellectual fag feminist men perplexing. Once you've dismissed nature, as most liberals do, human behavior is too complex to understand and it is always disheartening and confusing and hurtful.
To understand the modern feminist male one has to study primate behavior and in particular how beta males or males dominated by an alpha act and what they do to gain access to female sexual possibility.

To understand female "complexities" the ones that baffle the average man one has to understand what the female's sexual role is.

Blacks can reach high social status, and often do as a way to prove themselves.
Yes, and this is because in the current cultural environment we are reverting back to more primal sexual behaviors. the emancipation of the female and her acquisition of her natural sexual power means that male behaviors adapts accordingly.

Women are becoming more promiscuous, under the protective eye of the institutionalized alpha male (the institution AS alpha male), and so all biological males adapt, taking on beta-male behaviors and sexual tactics. Blacks are more primal and have less to deal with; the role comes naturally to them.

Whites are obviously naturally inclined to behave in such a fashion, and Jews are the best at the games we play.
Whites tend to be more 'pretty' and petite, delicate, avant garde. The women are dollish type cats.
Yes, but many whites have more awareness to deal with.
I've found blacks to be more focused on intercourse and more willing to defer and to flatter and to run after a female...any female.
The nice guy is a typical beta-male strategy.

That's one x under downside. Is there an x under upside?
