/ February 11, 2013Thought I’d pick comment on a couple of these, to take my mind off the pain of arguing with Free Will retards at Samizdata.
/If “real men don’t buy girls”, does that make the sex trade a collective hallucination?/
This is the typical tactic of cowards, i.e. to make a virtue out of their failure. They are too henpecked and taboo-bound to fuck a woman for direct-cash exchange, so they try to present it as a sign of virility (when it really indicates the opposite, if anything).
/”Innocence” is merely an adult’s romanticised view of childhood ignorance./
Yep. This is about the only thing Alex Knepper was any good on.
/Intelligence is no guarantee of decreased fallibility; in fact, it might simply mean the ability to fuck things up in a more interesting way./
I think intelligence can contribute to decreased fallibility but it is circumstantial, i.e. “what are you using intelligence for”. If you are doing a math problem or trying to figure out where you got lost on a trail intelligence increases your chances of success quite a bit. If you are stumping for your favorite football team, however, truth ceases to be the goal and intelligence leads to increasingly convincing rationalizations.
/When people try to divide existence between the “natural” and the “unnatural”, that’s when you know the conversation has gone full-retard./
Yes, the National Anarchist types are about the worst at this. Also ‘family first’ people.
/Who is this “we”, mass man?/
A projection of the speaker’s inadequacies and feelings of entitlement, usually.
/”Love sickness”: a tautology, surely?/
‘Love’ is just a haywire meme. Women running around looking for ‘true love’ would have better luck seeking Nirvana or God.
/Given all else she’d unleashed upon the world, wasn’t it rather passive-aggressive of Pandora to let out nothing but Hope to counteract it?/
Hope is a vice, at that. It is the fuel for utopian anti-reality campaigns.
/Feminists: überbitches cosplaying as underdogs./
I suspect that many women become feminists because men don’t like them.
/For some topics, the most “enlightened” thing to say may be nothing at all./
Knowing when to shut the fuck up is a rare skill.
/Consciously or otherwise, woman is a Social Darwinist made flesh./
Well, they were, but now they’re so fucked up they’re like dysgenic Bizarro versions of social Darwinism. Social Lysinkoism?
/All too often, “Grow up!” is a belligerently cowardly way of saying “Submit!”, “Surrender!”, “Give up!”./
Yes, and it is always offered in the spirit of anti-intellectual idiocy. The similar, and condescending, line is ‘you’ll grow out of it’. Of course, many people do ‘grow out’ of trying to have an independent identity and life.
/When folk say “honesty is the best policy”, the question that enters my mind is: “Cui bono?”/
This is one of those Christian-Humanist memes that seeks to universally apply situational reasoning. Sort of like the pacifists, “since fighting is sometimes disadvantageous to both parties, no one should EVER fight.”

/ February 11, 2013“Folk only like the “selfless” for their own selfish reasons.
My life in a nutshell. The truth is, though, even the selfless are selfish. They portray themselves as such for recognition, praise, or to win the affections of another, all very selfish pursuits.
