The perfect punishment for a conventional midwit is that he is forced to tolerate confrontational, mind-numbingly obtuse, dimwits. Other than his parasitical elitism - expressed as cynicism - he has no reason to dismiss them or ignore them; his motives and shared values and beliefs necessitates enduring them.

Without the discriminating distinction between I/Other there is no life, no consciousness, and so with the semiotic elimination of this distinction - theoretical, conceptual - life and consciousness is negated.

Mediocrity is the moral norm. The lowest-common-denominator pulling all down to a uniform level.
The exceptional is either below or above this level...like an iceberg. One sinks the ship, the other steers it away.....like a natural lighthouse it becomes, for the ship sailing upon mediocrity, a beacon to be used for navigation - a direction finder.

Mediocrity repeats popular superstitions, myths, conventional beliefs, inspiring those slightly below and causing boredom and a sense of false superiority in those slightly above. For the former, this justifies their convictions, empowering their conventional beliefs; for the latter this produces narcissism and entitlement, leading strait to excess as the only way to cope with ennui. Excess becomes the moral 'right' of the slightly above average; a rightful privilege of the above average.
In food, music, drink, morality, sex, fashion, tastes, is how the mediocre attempt to stand apart from the less than average, because they cannot stand apart intellectually to any discernible degree.

A midwit finds communion among dimwits. He cannot distance himself from what makes him feel powerful, distinct, superior, even if he never challenges the core, the foundations, of the beliefs he shares with them.
A dimwit remains totally oblivious, only sensing validity – he calls 'truth' – intuitively via constant linguistic reaffirmations; subconsciously evaluating popularity through constant repetition and persistent mirroring, i.e., quantitatively; he has no way of evaluating quality other than through popularity, social repetition; he has no way of comprehending objectivity other than his own subjectivity.

Collectivization is how individuation strives to reduce the experience of existing - need/suffering - by sharing the costs of existing as an individual and then by identifying with the collective that shares the burden. Individuals unable to bear their existential need/suffering - experiencing it as insufferable - are most willing to sacrifice themselves to a collective, or some abstraction alluding to a greater whole or an external identifying agency. This may occur immediately or over time - depending on its psychosomatic inherited constitution - as an individual's burden may be increased, over time, due to accumulating burdens, caused by erroneous judgements and choices.

Regarding philosophical positions, what is the truth is that lies are dependent on communal consent, and so require a more polite, seductive disposition to be believed to be 'true'. This I not the case for reality itself, and any perspective that expresses it as 'truth' It requires no agreement, no popular acknowledgment, and so no seduction is necessary...and as for politeness, this is left to the discretion of the speaker. The truth relative to reality is so, whether others believe it or not, and so its effects require no agreement, only time. Lies, on the other hand, always depend on convictions, agreements - coerced, bribed or seduced - and are supported by popular consent. If the lie is strong enough it may even withstand the test of time, since all negative consequences will be attributed to factors other than its validity.

I learned a lot from Satyr. I could never beat him in an argument. I wasn't smart enough. I'm probably even less intelligent now than I was then because I finished my studies and moved into a more specialized field. I can barely get through 10 pages of Hegel now. I am wiser in one way, though. I learned that some people (like Satyr) do everything for the spectacle only, and to stay away from them. They never actually accomplish anything, however, so if you ignore them, they won't hurt you.
Dealing with Satyr's bullying also made dealing with LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE seem 100 times easier. Having a background in philosophy and facing impossibly difficult arguments from far superior minds made everything else seem quite easy. This has led to a tremendous amount of personal and financial success for me.
So, thanks Satyr. I hope you're having fun bullying people for free on the internet still.
See you in another 15 years.
15 years and still not over it. As always, the act contradicts the words.
Feeble spirits like to represent reality with the aid of some evil agency; the incomprehensibly, indifferent, must be given a name, a personality, a motive...a face. Reality, i.e., nature, world, cosmos, is a trickster, like Satan, or a "bully" like Satyr. For Abrahamics it is the Satan, who represents the world, or natural order - Prometheus is the Daemon condemning them to this "fallen state" we call existence. They like to imagine him as a liar....concealing the "truth" of their delusional superstitions...inverting as always.... Truth becomes a lie; lies becomes an absolute truth.
In this case - Ade - we have an example of the old "what does not kill me only serves to make me stronger".....which is to say: the world confronts us with tis incomprehensible, unceasing, intolerable indifference. Nature's inhumanity is personified by an evil agency - both benefactor and bully. They must personify nature, or the one bringing them in contact with what they wish they can evade and escape; a proverbial bully we desperately want to evade but are forced to confront or be beaten up - adapt or die trying. Contact they later, admit, benefited them. Despite themselves that small contact with reality, dispelling whatever delusions they held to be indubitable, sufficed to clarify a small part of reality; mostly clarifying their own endurance and untapped energies.
But let us explore bullying. Is nature a bully? It will not leave us alone, no mater how hard we try to hide form it. It finds us and constantly harasses us. It will not leave us alone, in peace. We cannot get away, not even in our minds where we try to escape - inward, in esoteric gibberish, in romantic idealism, in nihilistic forgetfulness. Just as Satyr cannot evade the reality of multiplying idiots...zombies carrying their disease, driven to infect him or tear him to pieces and consume him, piece by piece. Easier to digest, I suppose.
Does Satyr seek them out in the school's locker-room, in the football field, in the gym, or after school, does he follow them home to frighten and beat them up? No, in fact they go to where Satyr is known to pass by, from time to time, hoping to confront him. They go looking for him. Now, what kind of a bully has his "victims" go looking for him?
A "bully" representing nature....which is why he is a Satyr. They cannot get away from nature, from reality/world, from existence as it is.....and so they associate it all with the first one who forced them to come in contact with it; forced them to confront the world and themselves within it. They try to forget...but they cannot. Nature is what confronts them, reminding them of the truth of their limitations, their errors, their delusions, their weaknesses, their deceptions, their degeneracies....and all they can do is name it Satyr. And through it they discover the truth about themselves and their true strengths. They discover a small part of themselves, outside the bullshyte they use to comfort and to deny. Clarity is painful. Know thyself is a call to a lifelong struggle....not of escape, and comfort, and ease, and finality... A life....long.....struggle....Agon.

War is the father of all.
In war there is no room for lies and romanticism and altruism....it is do or die on the battlefield. Lies are good for before and after the turmoil of battle, when the mind seeks peace and comforting. Clarity is of the essence when life is on the line - liars can flourish in times of peace and abundance, but in times of war and penury, in the midst of the battle, truth is all that can help a man increase his chances of surviving. Lies can only help him build the courage to endure in those moments demanding supreme clarity, or afterward to help him settle down and relax.
See eros....it is founded on pretences and hyperbole, and so it dissipates into a painful sobriety as quickly as it intoxicates the passions. Eros is a berserker. Agape requires clarity....and so its effects are enduring and deep. Agape is a warrior who knows why and for whom he risks his life.
******** The other cunt now destroying PN forum....the members are still misconstruing her motives. They believe she is interested in philosophy, when she is anti-philosophy - wanting to end philosophical discourse and debates "conflicts" - as she imagines them - and to reach some kind of compromise agreement, ending all discussions once and for all. I've said ti before....her objective...is anti-life, anti-nature, reflected in her anti-philosophy "philosophy" of nil - postmodernity. She learned from new-marxists who wanted to deal with their repeated failures to produce their Communist utopia. Their solution was "if you can't beat them join them" - neo-Marxist opportunism. Adopting and synthesizing a disdain for the rich with a disdain for the poor - elitism of victims and the pseudo-intellectually impoverished - see Podemos, SYRIZA, or US Democrats. Subvert the system so as to increase poverty and suffering among the lower clases, until despair finally forces them to rebel. Their objective - as they describe and justify it to themselves - is to undermine the system from the inside, in the meantime enjoying the perks and privileges of modern capitalist power. And this undermining is the cunt's main objective - undermine the very foundations of philosophical discourse - linguistics - whilst maintaining the delusion of participating in intellectual discourse with higher minds As I've said: iamastupidcunt is a antiphilosophie "philosopher - just as she is a moralizing amoraliste. She learned from those trained by others - the chosen - how to subvert and use powerlessness to attain power. She cares not for discussion and ideas....her objective - which she continuously pretends to dismiss so as to maintain innocence - is to undermine all trust, all confidence, all certainty....hoping that the state of total degeneracy will finally produce the circumstances of her utopian world order.
There's never any need to proactively exterminate anyone - unless pressured by time - when nature has all the mechanisms to deal with lies/liars, sexual deviants, and degenerates. One must simply withhold intervening protectiveness based on altruistic ideologies, and allow nature to do what she does best.
We already see how when the nihilistic system of Americanism wanes in power natural selection takes over to re-establish balance, viz., feminism is now filtering out males that passionately supported and promoted it, vehemently rejecting paternalism, and the lies that race and gender are social constructs are biting America on the arse when they were forced to abide by their own idealistic lies.

Heidegger's Being and Time; Nietzsche's Übermensch both refer to the human condition and the paradoxical fact that time is both what a life is and why it passes away, and Übermensch refers to some future being that will have come to terms with the idea that existence makes life possible and is also experienced as need/suffering, necessitating its own end after a period of struggle; existence as toxic to the lives it makes possible.
To a modern/postmodern Judaized Americanised psyche the ancient Greeks would seem as another version of modern-day Nazis – always comparing everyone and everything with this seminal, in their psychology, historical event that has marked them deeply. That is to say, that Hellenic worship of natural order, through their polytheistic representations, identifies nature as the brutal, authoritarian, totalitarian, inhuman, personification of ‘evil,’ and anyone what describes and defines it as it is must be some brutal inhuman evil person, rather than on objective thinker that worships nature as it is, rather than how it subjectively ought to be. So deep is the cut, so traumatic the experience of raw existence, unfiltered by human agencies wanting to protect them for their own reasons, that they’ve convinced themselves that ‘evil,’ as they call nature, does not exist as it is described by these objective minds, unconcerned about anyone’s feelings or preferences, so they must accuse them of enjoying some form of pleasure from the descriptions, or of benefiting from them.
It makes your hair stand on end when you reflect on how much time and effort has been expended on the elucidation of the bible, and what, after centuries or millennia, will in the end have been gained through these exertions? Certainly nothing more than the knowledge that, like all books, the bible is a book written by men. By men who, because they lived in somewhat different times, were somewhat different from us; who were somewhat simpler than we are, but on the other hand also very much more ignorant; that the bible is thus a book containing much that is true, and much that is false, much that is good and much that is bad. The more an elucidation of the bible shows it to be a quite ordinary book the better that elucidation is.
Having a sensible, realistic grounding in ones relationship with the world, will bring on the awareness that knowledge is but a tool, a tool that becomes expended when one's life becomes expended, therefore, it must be used wisely and without delusions of absolution. The problem is most are not satisfied with the world as it is, with knowledge as it is; the tools used, must have magical qualities, they must be seen as perfect, profound, incomprehensible, immortal, tools that never dull or become blunted, that never become subject to the entropy of nature. A proverb, a passage must hold the keys to all the answers of the world, and solve all problems, and must be studied forever.
When one overcomes a virus, there will be weakened or damaged parts of the body that may never be able to recuperate the same state of health that they had before. Nevertheless, that they survive, is what matters.

Many undermine their own interests compelled by a universal ideal of justice. Some, over time, realize there is no such ideal other than in the minds of the wronged, but cannot let it go because even they hold some kind of grudge against the fates.

Wait, I just realized something. This would mean that Satyr left a philosophy forum, this one, on his own. How did that happen? A pulpit with no moderation and he left.
From one of the other cesspools of degeneracy.....ILP is the worse, but this one is second best.
Satyr is the only one worthy of censorship, because he brings reality face to face with their nihilistic, postmodern, Americanised, ideologies. There's no response to the truth, so they must silence it. It is self-sustaining. The other hypocrite, Careless, the moron running ILP, pushed my Race thread inot the cesspool, because he could not deal with the implications. The idiotic reasoning he gave me to explain why humans stropped evolving, after they left Africa, was astounding. Over 70,000 years of no mental development. The body was affected by environmental stressors, but not the human mind.
I can put it allegorically and say, the gods are with me. My power, to whatever degree my views have power, comes from them.....representaitons of nature.
There's a Greek saying.... "Lies have short legs".... they can't go far - eventually something is going to catch up to them. They require a metaphor, metaphysical projections, prose, poetics full of emotional innuendoes, to transport them further....out of physical reach.
Every time they accuse me of being a Nazi, or a bigot, or a racist, or a misogynist, they are accusing nature of these "injustices"......as if nature gives a shit, or abides by their human, all too human ethics. According to them, Spartans, and even Athenians, and most of the ancients, were all Nazis. Worse than them. All misguided bigots who took their senses seriously, and were unburdened by postmodern, Abrahamic pseudo-ethical values pretending to be a "solution" to nature's brutal inhumanity.
How can you conduct philosophy when you are immersed in lies? Friends of wisdom? More like friends of pleasure. Philo-hedonists.....

The funny thing is that a few months ago I tried to register on PN....and when they realized it was Satyr they refused to accept the minimum posts required for me to participate. They blocked me. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Ha!! Hypocrites. All Americanized, dimwitted, hypocrites.
Can you imagine how happy Careless is that I stopped posting on ILP when he fucked his forum up with the changes? Had issues posting vids, and links....and perhaps that was also intentional. Don't know. And the minimum posts per day was the cherry on top.
Now he can comfortably engage dimwits with their pseudo-philosophical insights. The world is going to hell around them and they're discussing "ghosts," or sharing prose.
