Does this apply to spiritual matters as well?

I am simply describing different ways you can interact with the world and associating some of them with lower level of intelligence simply because they involve little to no thinking.

Would you agree that an organism that has no regard for consequences is unintelligent?

Such an organism may feel perfectly comfortable with its decisions but they nonetheless remain poor decisions in comparison to decisions of those organisms that feel perfectly comfortable to think before they act.

Higher intelligence displays restraint: selectivity regarding the manner in which one spends one’s energy. It makes fewer but more precise, thus more effective, moves.

Lower intelligence displays no restraint. It makes as many random, thoughtless, moves as possible with the hope that at least some of them will do the job.

Intelligent people wait, restraining themselves from every kind of activity, basically resting, in order to accumulate enough strength so that they can then attempt to resolve the main problem.

Unintelligent people, on the other hand, are divided. They want to resolve the main problem but . . . they also want to live. Unwilling to make sacrifices, they end up siding with the superficial.

You can’t have it both ways.

One of the main problems of the modern era is the fact that social roles have become too flexible. There is simply too much mobility and this is even encouraged. Everyone is free to be whatever they want to be. So, for example, a child of a peasant can nowadays become a lawyer, and this is even encouraged, since being a lawyer means more money and more popularity. Peasants are even shamed for being peasants and thus stimulated to compete for higher positions. The fact that such mobility makes people weaker, in terms of potentials they possess, is ignored. The focus is elsewhere . . . on money, on popularity, on pleasure, on peace. Noone aims for strength anymore.

When you find the lucky woman, manni, don’t forget to show her your Cheating Wife art piece.

In fact…you should probably hang it in your joint bedroom…right above the marital bed.

This one is 26. 11 years younger than me. Her face has been cropped to protect the innocent. Anyone who says they’d rather have a 40 years old, all things being equal, is out of their minds.

The picture says that there is no meaning to life and that death is both inevitable and final and that is all I really need to know

Acquiring knowledge and accepting death and being alone as much as possible is what works for me as I have no family or friends

I can be alone and content with my life and so can Trixie if she engaged in some positive thinking so please teach her how to meditate

I am 52 and so a 40 year old is younger than me but I would still choose her over a 26 year old any day

Since she will have more life experience and that is something more important than beauty at my age

Though I am both celibate and a loner and so have no need for a woman as I am content the way I am

Why is there no meaning? So if death is final for the human body, what of your eternal soul where your consciousness dwells?

Interesting how you have managed to convince your self the
soul truly exists despite there being no evidence for it at all

So women in their 40s+ cannot be beautiful? Mon dieu #-o

Lovely example of a non sequitur that you have demonstrated there Mags
I guess any woman over forty I find beautiful must be lying about her age

Once you know MagsJ, you get to know she’s absolutely terrible at logical reasoning.

No I’m not content with your loser philosophy. You are like darth vader, who lives in a sterile robot body suit, trying to drag me down to the lowest levels of the dark side. Maybe that’s why you believe you are a fleshbot and souls don’t exist.

It is you, Surrep, who has misunderstood the reply.


Your reply bears absolutely no relevance to what I actually said

How is your philosophy any less loser philosophy than his? I would say he is far more honest than you are. That already makes him more of a winner than you are.

…it is your reply that bears absolutely no relevance to what I actually said :wink:

You implied (by omitting otherwise) that older women with more life experience don’t come with beauty… it was merely an implication I picked up on and wanted to explore further. Can an older lady not have both? or were you simply saying that it doesn’t have to be part of the equation in a potential partner for you?

I have seen many mis-matched couples, but something about that relationship works for them. If I cannot picture myself being comfortable with a guy in public and around my family, then he is not for me… the factors being: height, looks, intellect/smarts, morals.

Are you kidding me? He doesn’t even have a philosophy…he’s a fucking nihilist that embraces his own death… He isn’t even honest either, when he loses an argument he never admits it, just says “I agree to disagree”…Honestly just shut the fuck up like everybody else should on this stupid website.

And here in lies the source of confusion which lead to you employing faulty reasoning with regard to what I said. Because I actually
implied no such thing. As I did not say older women have no beauty. I said beauty would not be for me the most important thing in
older women from a relationship perspective. Obviously it would be a factor. But a far more important one would be compatibility
If beauty was the most important factor then I might be more likely to go for younger women though not necessarily exclusively so

A forum where everyone does just that is not going to work now is it sweetie

UP…even me? I should shut up?
