It's Scott, and you may assume I have read every relevant (and a LOT of irrelevant) literature of the past 3 centuries., so yes. I have read everything she ever wrote. The fact that she makes correct observations, does NOT make her work relevant. I wonder if you can get what I'm saying?
You are at that all-too-familiar place where you are seeing HOW MUCH you don't know, and how much of your life has been wasted on bullshit. Ayn Rand is just a far more sophisticated way of inserting, sterilized, deodorized and nicely packaged bullshit.
Looking closer will reveal what works like that truly are.
Perfect example of being focused on the wrong thing. You'd best get rid of that defect, if you are taking this path.
I didn't ASK why there are prisons. I asked why there are always TWO perimeter fences. YOUR answer got you no closer to what I am pointing you to, and left you with the illusion of answering the question. You are well on your way to becoming a very sophisticated idiot, if you keep doing that :P
scoot not all prisons have 2. some have only 1. so I then asked myself what does scoot want me too look at. because i dont want to get close i want to be right on. so i will reconsider your question
I'll dumb this down further: Ayn Rand, and that genre of literature IS the SECOND FENCE. You woke up to the first level of bullshit? Good for you! Here's another one waiting to trap you!
The architects of this society EXPECTED people to "wake up", and they commission/promote/support such works to give you a "soother", and false refuge of like-minded non-thinkers. You are now getting programmed to be "Disposable Controlled Opposition".
You are going to have to accept that you STILL think wrong, and STILL value the wrong things, despite what you may have learned.
I read the Bible too... and the Qu'ran...
Know thine enemy, but don't become one of them, by falling for the false endorphin-based responses that make you THINK you have read something of value.
Remove ALL strangers from your mind, and start with the question "What do I want"?
If you THINK you know, ask WHY you want it.
HAHAHA!!!....I won't share this, because if I do, I will feel COMPLETLY naked in front of a HUGE fucking crowd that will laugh at me. :D ( I hope this make sense) :/
Scott,The first time I had this FEELING as you call it, happened after I've saw this movie called DANCES WITH WOLF, I stayed in shock after seeing this movie for one week......
Even with her Objectivism theory, its still based on a programmed reality I would say. We are kept so busy trying to keep ourselves alive and/or "have more than the next guy" we've never learned to think. There's almost an instinctual blockage... maybe fear... of actually seeing anything more... When you said, "What do you really want?", putting all the regular life stuff aside, I felt fear.
I had not much knowledge during these days... :/ and I have to admit that today, knowledge is limited :D, but I have more than the average, I see it everyday....
That is not me Beverly Girl-Brain Braaksma, ask anyone close to me they will tell you, programmed shit is not for me, I've ALWAYS been seen as a delinquent to this system, Always.....since I'm 7 years old that's how it is....
I'm just here to shake you out of your stupor. None of you are qualified to answer the question "what do you want", and when you think you do, be sure to post it here so I can question your wants. It will be a harsh, yet valuable lesson. ;)
If you KNOW you aren't qualified, then you are confused, and unsure which way to go...
...one day you will see the power of this state of mind. You can do ANYTHING. Pity you don't/can't know what you want. ;)
John, I said I felt fear because after thinking about it... I want world peace, I want everyone happy, I want a home on an island, bla bla...which DOES NOT answer the question of "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" And I came to the conclusion that I honestly don't know... which frightens me. I thought I knew myself, but under all the stupid things to say... I had nothing. Which leaves me with "no purpose", which is a programmed thing, to need to have a purpose.
I was in christian school and we was taking a test and on a few questions I did not know thw answer so i wrote I dont know the answer and the teacher got so mad at me she used a ruler to wrack my hands . but too me answering the question knowing my answer was wrong was like leing too me so from then on I had this complex
Dude. you are ready for NOTHING. You have a lifetime's worth of UN-LEARNING to do before you can make a serious attempt at self-actualization.
...and "getting off the grid" is a TASK, not a goal. :P
...and only my trustees/crew have the luxury of having me tell them what they want. ;)
John Frisbey{ While I totally get that you are one of many UNTIED DYSLEXICS(tm), you should know that you are hurting my beloved wife.

Albuquerque. this is how I see it Aloogoorgoo what I do is I mesmerize by sound fore letter words Albu quer que I do work hard at being better at it and I do agree it is very important to use correct grammar. I don't make mistakes on purpose and I chose my words as best as I can. Please tell your wife I never meant to hurt her.
I know. Read then. There's a LOT here. You'll know when you have what you need to ask what you need.
Currently we must struggle through your writing...only to find it content-free. I have Pierre, for that. :P
Start erasing the bullshit. You will find lots to facilitate that activity here. :D
You aren't here claiming to know more than me, so I have the patience of Job. Those that dare claim they have ANY "secrets" to tell, are purged in the most demeaning way i can thinkof at the time. Big entertainment.
There are those who will say this is the ONLY useful thing on Facebook. Some even created accounts, JUST SO THEY COULD READ THIS GROUP :D
...read. You have much to learn. I try to keep it simple... but it hurts.
We aren't talking. At best we exchange shards of text. Talking to me won't help you. You have nothing new to say to me. You have no ideas that COULD be useful. You WILL, but not for a long time. You still need to be able to tell the difference between what is TRUE and what FEELS GOOD. You do not possess this skill yet.
...you are looking in the right direction, though.
DEFINITION OF WHITE NOISE : Shit, I see my name is mentionned on one of Scott Duncan's post, that must be it, Scott LOVES me, I'm sure he does, if he think of mentionning my name, it means he is thinking about me ?, oh yeah, he loves me know, since I've shut up for 24 hours, and then wrote those 2 questions by accident :D, I must be SPECIAL to him now, oh yeah we are buddy buddy now.....he will surely invite me on his kayak....me, my wife and our 4 mongols..... :D I do enjoy talking to him, I have not met many people that make me hard like this....about thinking :D :D :D :D...
Keep reading John Frisbey. You will learn a bit about Entemology.......insects called LAWYERS......& of course theres the study of the WORD caled Etymology.

KILL YOUR LAWYER NOW !!
Sooo John Frisbey, what happened to your lawyer after ye were sent to club buggery for 15 years for NOT KILLING ANYBODY.

The ladies literally threw their sodden knivkers at him all the tine & would do absolutely anything he asked...just like they did to me in ny days as a PLAYA!!
Hahahahaha. ..you've been caught out pierre. Whacking off AGAIN over me....yuk...you're a sick kunt. ...but ye have good taste for a queer eyed kunt hahahahaha...
I KNOW how much you may love LIBERTY, and rest assured that I will NEVER bring her in one of our IDIOTIC and STUPID conversation in here, I will NEVER do that, EVER....I'm too smart to do that kind of stuff, unless YOU ask for it. So I'm just asking you to leave my wife and/or kids alone in these stupid statments. UNLESS I ASK FOR IT....fair enough ?
FUN FACT: I've been tested 3 years ago by the school system concerning my Son, they've tried to make him bend over, it took me a few minutes to fix everything, and it never happened again :D
I don't SAY that there is no GOD, I just can't call a meeting with him/her/it, and actually have a chit chat with him/her/it :/ , so if there is one, he might be busy doing something else, so therefor, its not of my fucking business....
My point is that I don't BELIEVE that there is no god in the sky, I just never happen to meet him/her/it in these past 47 years, so I can't really believe or not believe it, I just KNOW it does not exist.
Belief is essentially a subjective feeling about the validity of an idea or set of facts. It is more than a mere suspicion and less than concrete knowledge. Unlike suspicion, which is based primarily on inner personal conviction, belief is founded upon assurance gained by empirical evidence and from other people. Positive knowledge, as contrasted with belief, is the clear perception of existing facts.
So if I've been raised, lets say, in a catholic family, and these OTHER PEOPLE lead me to BELIEVE that there is someone hidden in these clouds, and is watching me, and if he is catching me doing something he consider WRONG, he will send me to a very hot place.......and then, later on, my brain starts looking for some CLEAR EXISTING FACTS about it, it may get fucked-up for a while ?.....don't you think ?
