  • “WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AT 20?”— When I was 20? I don’t know if I can answer truth

    —“WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AT 20?”—

    When I was 20? I don’t know if I can answer truthfully I was in college, I had a hot girlfriend I was crazy about, had good friends, was doing ok art, had not much money but enough, and was otherwise pretty happy as far as I know. I had the same sensibilities. but like most aspies my mind was still forming and in retrospect that’s how I see that period. In my mind I was not very different from today. But that’s probably just my mind playing tricks on me.

    I think 22 sucked after breaking up with my girlfriend, and it ruined my college experience also. So I threw myself into business and women and it worked out after a bit. But I had a bit of personal confusion in there for a bit.

    I made a couple of mistakes. First was not transferring to philosophy, and second putting too much investment into my girlfriend. Third was I was just too tired all the time….. If I could do it over I would take out more loans and work follow my interest in argument and philosophy. The problem is wouldn’t have ended up where I have with all this amazing life experience having done so much amazing crazy stuff.

    TRUTH: While I had the benefit of being more than a little good looking, and a lot of confidence, I had a very hard time as a high functioning aspie and I used girlfriends (devotedly) to build my social circle, and to some degree to keep me attached to civil reality. I have continued to do this throughout my life. This was a mistake. Most of the men I respect avoid ‘entanglements’ and build assets and that was my original disposition. I should have stayed with it. In other words, women are extremely expensive and a poor return until after you accumulate assets. So rent rather than buy the merchandise.

    The problem is your testosterone misleads you as much as estrogen misleads women.

  • Smart Is Pretty Good but Hard Work … No Substitute.

    People overestimate past genius, because after you’ve cross about what we consider 130 today discoveries have a lot more to do with hard work and the person’s position history. Smart is pretty good but hard work … no substitute.

  • Don’t and We Can’t Give a Whit, What Those Lacking Agency Desire. They’re Just Pets.

      The suppression of local rents by the empire and the increases in trade from the north sea to india made choices available to the underclasses in the past, just as the industrial revolution made choices available to the underclasses in modernity. And so you’re saying that because it is far harder to train those unwashed filthy, ignorant, and rather stupid masses in rational thought, the common law of reciprocity, and stoic virtues, and heroic myths, that we should allow the spread of marxist, socialist, postmodern, pseudoscientific, supernatural, and authoritarian falsehoods and allow another abrahamic dark age ‘because the self same uplifted underclasses cannot bear the reality of their lower sexual, social, economic, and political market value, despite their newfound ability to experience, and consume, because of their betters. So yes, there was an abrahamic dark age. No it does not matter what semi-domesticated animals feel, want, desire, when they can be trained to be at least far better domesticated animals with a bit of cost and effort. We lost over a THOUSAND YEARS, we lost multiple great civilizations, multiple lines of intellectual thought, because of the jewish conversion of roman deflationary language (idealism) into moral sophisms (that you do not know you are yourself repeating at this very moment). The christian destruction of knowledge, the arab destruction of knowledge and the failure of jews with the greatest ability and greatest literacy to do NOTHING AT ALL GOOD and everything possible bad to mankind before we forced aristotelianism upon them in exchange for their freedom – no longer worrying that they would cause prior catastrophes. So I do understand history. I just don’t make EXCUSES for the familiar, the weak, who, out of twisting my compassion would again put us into ignorance and deceit. Why is it a good, to tolerate those subhumans lacking the agency to face existential reality? It’s demonstrably not. It’s just more rewarding to rule them, and profit from doing so than it is to outright kill them off. Or at least, it was until recently. Now it looks like the opposite is true.

  • Gods Exist as Numbers Exist

    Well my view is that we create our gods by thinking of them, talking to them, and acting because of them; and that any other beings in this universe, if so needing gods, do so too, for the same reason they persist among humans: defensive mindfulness. So as far as I know our gods human or alien are a product of minds, which are a product of the universe, as are we, and as are numbers, and as such gods exist as numbers exist, and the universe itself serves as the only creator there is – a purely accidental one. The universe makes gods through us. not the other way ’round.
