(edit)
as don rickles said in the sand in 1967… i never picked on a little guy, and you are all pretty big. or something like that.

Everyone wants to mold the old gobster…

What a student of life I am.

i will give you my strict 6 mnth reading regimin. you will be a dynamo at the end of it. you must have the discipline and integrity to read KrV 3 times minimum though. you must also adopt my interpretation of Nietzsche’s nachlass as a power ontology. and if you are beyond 23 years old, it is too late.

also, nicomachean ethics, leviathan, and philosophy of right, and russel’s history of western philosphy are blacklisted, along with everything in the last 50 years, with some exceptions.

I’m 21

I’ve read some of what you suggested.

Heh… wait a sec why am I even thinking about this? :laughing:

Monooq

Voted most likely to co-star in a Hollywood sequel.

LOL

You speak of the way, but you yourself is the end result. so if one follows in your footsteps, they would naturally reach you as you are. and who the hell are you? you are, you know who you are. so you are the very proof of the failure of your system.

Captain Literal to the rescue.

PoR,
I once was great. I am the result of years of drug and porn abuse after the regimin. I could still be a light for you, my son. I still have something to say. I might even be convinced to pass on to you the regimin. I am a river to my people.

and I am a light to mine.

you are shrowded in darkness, and every post you make is a testament to that cold bleak truth.

Exactly. And yet

How often have I sat down at my computer, and wanted to write that ILP is merely the sum of the personalities within it. It is very much a living, breathing organism. That said, where you and I diverge is that you hold the aforementioned personalities here in high esteem. Myself, I have a different perspective, perhaps because I do not approach anything as a game, and ergo, I cannot simply shrug off any direct challenges to my lofty ideals.

It would seem to me while ILP may be its own society, it is stratified, and the only congruence to be found here is not in philosophical discussion, rather, what happens here is emotive junk. So you have a crucible, the final result will only be as good as the initial components. This is because the bar, your bar, is so low.

You ask for people to only be themselves, then delight in figuring them out. That is not enough.

I feel like a Japanese soldier two years after the conclusion of World War Two. I am stuck alone on some island, preparing to make some suicidal leap at an approaching Allied peacekeepr who is coming to tell me that the war is over, and I lost.

Except, we all lost.

ps. as for what isn’t being said but has been hinted at more than once, I wasn’t always about fun and games, I simply never bothered creating some false persona to better formulate an annoying schtik.

Need a friend Monooq? We could stay up late, getting drunk and listening to classic rock, instead of studying for the GRE.

Right on…Monooq is back :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Hahaha. This is very funny.
