Intuitions do not exist. You are either conscious or you are unconscious. Intuitions are fallacies, merely whims, like so called instincts, when they actually only exist from the adaptation of experience.

People are born as blank slates, Tabula Rasa, and they lean how to live on their way. If people try to rely on non-existent things such as revelation, intuition, instinct, human nature, they will be unsuccessful.

If they rely on learned knowledge and axperience, they will put themselves on the right path for success.

Intuitions are as damaging as emotions. Imagine if everyone acted solely on emotions, or immediate responses, everyone would be acting contrary to reason and violence would reign, much like it does today.

People need to rely on knowledge and experience instead and be self-aware and in control of their emotions.

That is what I know and that is why I am a successful person who is actualizing his potential.

It's not difficult because I am not a confused dualist.

My path is straight ahead, prosperously, into the future.

No. That would be cheating. We must use the time that is given to us as best we can. To live forever is just too much, we need to die, its only fair to other people.

I wish I could understand people who voted for Obama. Well, I do understand them, but why would they vote for such a terrible person? He's got no real solutions to our problems, he's already started making things worse.

Obama voters generally are very uneducated about the real issues and they voted for him in blind faith.

I am very displeased, why would anyone bother voting if they don't know his stands on all issues?? What a waste!!!!

Thanks again america......(sarcasm)

When I was hopelessly in love.

That was....four years ago? Since then I have learned to love myself above all and have a very high level of self-confidence and that I know I can make it on my own. I've had realtionships since then but have not committed becuase I knew they were deterrents in the way of my self-interest and may have made me alter my course.

My love must be as free
as is the eagles wing
hovering o'er land and sea
and everything
-H.D. Thoreau


I think I was a little at fault because I dared to and was willing, and I did, love another person more than I loved myself, and then when I lost that person it was devastating, but at the same time, I siezed the opportunity to chart a new course in my life and make my life about me and focus on my dreams, living my dreams, and not the dreams of a lost relationship.

I'm well on my way to achieving my dreams and would be more open to an involved relationship, but still I like to be single, and I also like interaction and relationships. Sometimes we get too involved and we become dependent on others for happiness when we should always be happy to be alive and free in america.

But again, I think I could love another person more than I love myself, but I will do this if and only if that person I find is like me and can realize their dreams and not have them altered by this type of true love. We must both be able to live our dreams and love each other, challenge each other, and help each other live our dreams.

I cannot really create anything out of thin air materially, but I can inside of my head create anything with my imagination.

I can only create something materially if I obey the laws of nature and work with nature. I do not have magical powers.

As for beauty, I do know of universal beauty, of one beauty, but applied to individual things. I can see the beauty in death, suffering, and in pleasure.

Mind power.

Gifted people of the world....

Fear is just an emotion, and like all emotions, it can be controlled.

So, we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Brain power can ease fear, and that is what I do.

I think I can do this because I am not afraid to die. I look at death as just something that happens as part of life, although an end to it, but it has to happen someday, so I am not very scared.

I see leaves falling from tree in the fall, I see roadkill on the side of the road, I see fake death in tv shows, I read in novels about death and murder, war, poverty, and I see war and anarchism in the news; Death surrounds us but I look at the Life moreso.

I notice that I exist.

Also, that there are countless other things around me that exist.

This is no illusion, I know this.

A is A.

What does this mean?

That I am a conscious being who can and does affect my surroundings in which ever way I wish.

A material world is what I sense around me, governed by laws that we must learn and obey.

What a great question of the day, Thank You !

That there are people in this world who desire to remain ignorant and never better themselves.

There are people who want to destroy the environment. There are people who don't think that there is world outside of themselves.

This disturbs me. Humans must work together to provide for their posterity.

I also HATE the fact that religious wars have killed millions. They are essentially fighting over whose magical and mystical myths will be in charge of the earth. This is bullshit.

My mind is my own "church."

I also do not accept that we have a democracy in the U.S.A. I think it is over. So is capitaism(laissez-faire).

This is not a free country by any means, a majority vote is tyranny.

Thank you,

I have a simple answer.

Right now I am in college and am always thinking very intelligently and am exhausted at the end of the day. This is great! But I am forgetting physical activity.

Yes, I do walk all over campus, but fortunately, here at UMaine, there is a place for POND HOCKEY!!!!!!! I MUST VISIT THIS POND AS SOON AS I CAN TAKE A BREAK FROM MY INTELLECTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES!!!!!!!

Oh how I love ice hockey....so much......my body needs to be back in shape, and I can do this quickly, becuase I am young and very strong.

So, this is what I must do! It is required! I will accept nothing less! What is a superior intellect without a superior and fit body? BLAH BLAH is what it is !

Thank You!
