Women do a just fine job of getting a man to have sex with them. It's being a good mother and mate that they have lost the capacity for.
There was a time when a man had to be afraid that other fierce men would steal his family. There was a time when a man had to be afraid that animals and weather would steal his family. There was a time when a man had to be afraid that strangers would come and make him a slave and isolate him from his children.
The person most likely to do that to him now, more likely than not in fact, is the woman he chooses to love.
Thus, women from the age of 14 to 55 are out there dressed like little tramps, and getting fucked all the time for it, but still alone.
They've retreated to the superficial because every rational reason to allow them into your life has been systematically eradicated, and appealing to our primitive side is the only thing they're good for anymore.
To make it out to be some psychological issue or some such nonsense dismisses the choices of those who made the decision to give a shit about other people and not be an asshole.
Skip the third party apologies, call it what it is and accept it or don't accept it.
I did a lot of "look quickly in the box, then identify all the objects and their characteristics" type training, then pushed that out to encompass rooms, then outdoor terrain.
I did a lot of training in gaging distance by sight, and in being conscious of how far my steps take me, then put it all together.
What can I say, I wanted to be a stainless steel rat when I grew up.
It all came in handy later with combat sports and rock climbing, and when I was in the infantry.
The tree trick really does work, but only in the right terrain.
I think you can develop all sorts of heightened senses if you try.
In my youth, I used to focus on trying to develop "super-human" abilities. Not unnatural human abilities, but the ability to navigate spaces based on a split second glance, or the ability to navigate through forests with my eyes closed by feeling the changing texture of the ground and knowing where root structures were making it harder, those sorts of things.
I felt that the capacities developed by blind and deaf people were mute evidence that there were capacities there waiting to be found. My exercises didn't dissuade me from that view.
This article and what it demonstrates are consistent with those things I instinctively looked for when I was a kid. Pretty cool stuff.
Advertising is designed by the worlds best psychologists to make you feel unhappy with your life as it is, so you will go buy something. They work even if you ignore them. What you are experiencing is the surrendering to their influence that happens when you just give up under the bombardment and the accompanying rationalization. If you cut yourself off from the constant bombardment of ads for a little while, you'll be shocked.
Advertisers, with knowledge and intent, systematically manipulate people to react according to their primitive responses instead of with reasoned responses, contrary to peoples larger self interest and for personal gain.
And they've carved an industry for themselves out of the fact that "Superior Performing Product A" will be ignored in the face of competition from "Inferior Performing Product B" assisted by the pervasive advertising machine.
Their tactics are so effective that to a certain extent they've made themselves the gatekeepers of the so called free market economy.
I don't think he implied that the US citizens have a lot of trust in their government. I didn't take it that way at least, he was just replying to one solitary, nutjob AC.
Of course they don't trust him. He's a fellow American, and they have no expectation of being able to trust each other.
However, he does represent them very well. As in accurately. Most Americans don't realize just how well, but that's because they live in a bubble, disconnected from reality.
Doesn't this mean that "In addition to whatever laws you might have existing regarding copyright etc, we are unified in adding to that a new law that says copyright infringement for profit is a felony.", not making anything any more legal for anyone, but rather ensuring that copyright infringement for profit is treated as a criminal case rather than as a civil one?
Can't you just see a certain operating system vendor reminding local computer distributors that if they accidentally sold PCs that had some copyrighted code floating around in there, they could go to jail? That's exactly what I'd be thinking.
If you're under the age of 50 and weren't born to someone who makes 7 figures a year while playing golf all day, the system is gamed to fuck you from birth to death.
Because it is the only justification for allowing them to exist and participate in the society.
They are not connected to the future of the society; allowing them to have a greater proportion of control over shared resources, by whatever mechanism, will lead to the death of the society.
People without children have a material interest in "using it all up before they die".
Talk is cheap. Anyone interested in participating in the larger society of mankind and the continuation of human life on earth would have kids. Anyone who doesn't is not a participant, and any resources spent improving them or their lot in live are wasted.
Children first, parents next, singles LAST.
Personally, if you don't see why it's justified that you should have or support the next generation of mankind, I don't see any justification in why I should participate in a society that thinks you should receive food.
When you pull it out to the level of societies and ongoing systems, if you're not a breeder, you're just a dead man walking, and 50 years of your life either way doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things.
This sort of shit would have been academic before we grew to the point that exile is no longer an option.
I'm saying that 90% of the things people get paid to do are either
the result of capitalism "creating" markets by destroying plenty and creating artificial scarcity
or
people who are labouring at securing things against their neighbour/seizing things from their neighbour, for no better reason than the incidental, selfish creature-comfort rewards that is systematically given
These things are all net costs of the system, not benefits. The capitalist market is a better and more resilient means of distributing control than a hereditary system, but that doesn't mean it's the best means possible.
A society is an organism made of people the same way a person is an organism made of cells.
What would happen to you if your cells decided to stop dividing?
That's what happens to a society if people stop reproducing.
Now, do you depend on the food, water, transportation infrastructure, communication infrastructure, medical infrastructure etc that this society provides, or not?
It doesn't matter though. This society is terminally ill. It's too late to stop it; it will die soon, and people from other parts of the world will come here to try again.
Hopefully they don't screw it up like our forefathers did.

Since 90% of the population is non productive, all you have to do is figure out a way to start a business using 90% less staff than other business. What an incredible profit you could have for yourself!
[/wry]
Figuring out how other businesses can stay just as or more productive with less staff than other businesses and building the infrastructure to make it happen is my business.
[wry]
And yes, I am doing pretty well for a relatively young man. There is a high likelihood that you have personally received food and medical attention that was made possible by my efforts, among other things. Thanks for noticing.

Copyright had a niche in a society where 90% of the population was working hard labour to live, had no leisure to pursue their personal interests, had no access to the tools of production.
The current situation is a little different... 90% of our population are engaged in non-productive make-work projects. For example, a cashier is nothing but a watchdog... necessitated by the inherent flaws of capitalism but producing nothing. Most white collar work fits this category as well.
There is no need to pay for intellectual works. There is no need for incentive. If you don't want to do it, don't fucking do it, we don't care, someone else will, and they'll do it for the sheer joy of it.
Want to deal with the "keeping secrets" thing? Easy. Secrets and lies are offenses. Intentional and malicious secrets and lies are capital offenses.
All you need is slaughterhouse dirt for nitrates and some old car batteries for sulfuric acid and you're ready to blow that tree stump out of your yard... military grade munitions are very overpriced.
I work from home as a developer/dba for a foreign based company, on a triplehead workstation in my living room.
That workstation also holds all my music, my games, my movies, plays my DVDs, displays my photos, records my jam sessions, records my home videos, and handles all my communications with my friends and family.
My girlfriend works from home as a self-employed graphic designer/webmaster on a dualhead workstation in our living room, 5 feet away from me as I type this.
We work when we want, we rest when we want, we play when we want.
Separation is for wage slaves. If I was a slave, I'd want to forget it whenever I could too. But if you're running your own life, it's not going to happen.
Now the Googleplex... this reminds me of a cross between living on a military base and living in your parents basement.

They're a bunch of uselesses bitches.
None of which makes it any less scummy.
I'm ashamed of my countrymen.
Some people don't give a fuck. That's a decision.
To make it out to be some psychological issue or some such nonsense dismisses the choices of those who made the decision to give a shit about other people and not be an asshole.
Skip the third party apologies, call it what it is and accept it or don't accept it.
I think what you're looking for is Corporatism. It's another word for Fascism. Look it up.
Not to mention that this isn't a competitive marketplace.
And lets not disregard the fact that the effectiveness of a competitive marketplace is tied to the capacity of the public to make informed decisions.
Monitoring is the way of the future. We can, we will.
The only way this is going to be a positive is if it is open. If ANYONE can tune into one of these cameras, or an archived recording, at ANY time.
Who watches the watchers? We do.
That is the only implementation that doesn't inevitably lead to a shadowy fascist state.
Not as many as you might think.

Frankly, I think their best bet would be to make ads that people want to watch.
This is the same logic as "Their best bet is to have a shower and dress up nice before raping my wife."
You're wrong.

Excuse me, you're under arrest for distributing data without permission. Come with us.
This is sick.
Regarding the article...

The moral of the story?
Don't waste your time and money on university.
If you're under the age of 50 and weren't born to someone who makes 7 figures a year while playing golf all day, the system is gamed to fuck you from birth to death.
Don't participate. Start a new game.
I dropped out of university at 17 to go hitchhike across North America... I don't get this "basement" crap... but then, I have a girlfriend.
Yeah... cause girls don't want to go out with a geek who is making a good living, they'd rather go out with that football jock who sells used cars.
As long as you're a skinny geek and not a fat bearded geek, you're all set. If you can get out the front door, that is...

As a Canadian, I have to say... dealing with this sort of thing was the only reasonable justification I ever saw for your stupid gun laws.
What are you all waiting for? Go shoot the fuckers already.
