I wasn't asking your opinion on that, though. I was telling you my opinion of it. My opinion is the one that matters to me for that.

If a meme is a "unit of cultural transmission," how would it be that an individual "has a meme"? Just what would it be that the individual possesses?

Think of it as your deepest feeling of self. Your go-to response to the outside world.

deep memes, dank memes. What does it all meme.

There is no "seed", neurons are a cluster. There isn't a single neuron cluster that controls the others. People have several seeds, fear clusters, love clusters, and other clusters. The more evolved individuals also have several personalities as well.

So, coming back to the main focus of this thread - Where do you find your deepest seed? Fear or understanding?


Do you consider yourself to be a xenophobe or more of an open philosopher-type?


Have you or do you now reach-out to other cultures, other races?

Do you consider other races to be different than you? Better? Worse?

For Me, there is nothing to fear.

There are only things to understand, of which all those things can be very easily understood.

I am not sure why in this age you are still writing words like, "other cultures, other races", because to Me there is no "other" cultures nor races. I certainly do not see any difference in human beings. I thought surely someone of your caliber that you would have also progressed by now.

I totally understand that you see differences in human beings but can you explain to us WHY you still see differences?

I do not see the things that you talk about and see here. Can you help Me to understand the differences that you see? What are those differences that you see?

Also, I understand totally WHY your deepest seed is held in fear, and I know you will not answer the next question, but I would like you to think more about WHY you are such a xenophobe?

Modernized bullshit. There are differences between races, cultures, and people.

And there is much to fear, Ken.

This may be bullshit to 'you' now, in this age, but the truthfulness of it will come to light in the future.

Do you have any examples of the differences that 'you' see?

GreatandWiseTrixie wrote:And there is much to fear, Ken.

Again, do you have any example of what 'you' fear?

Just because you may fear many things that does not mean there is much to fear.

By the way did you notice that my post was about how 'I' view things and what 'I' see. Obviously how 'you' view things and what 'you' see is different than 'I'.

I explained that I do not fear things and I do not see differences in human beings, besides the obviousness that each human being sees things differently. Now I would like you to share with us what differences you see in human beings, and what are the many things that you fear. Are any of those differences you see relate to any of the fears you have?

How can a human being not actually be afraid of anything?
Could you be afraid of something but not actually know it?
Can you ever remember experiencing any fear of anything?

I said, 'I' do not fear things.

Depending on how much time you have, and how prepared you are to fully understand this, will influence how many clarifying questions you ask of Me.

I NEVER said a human being can not actually be afraid of anything. Human beings fear many, many things. Most of those fears are totally unnecessary fears, I must add.

surreptitious57 wrote:Could you be afraid of something but not actually know it?

Throughout his upbringing 'ken' has had many different fears and different stages and levels of differing fears, and to some degree still fears some things. But 'I' do not fear anything at all because there is nothing at all to fear. Unless of course you can provide some good solid examples of any thing to fear.

surreptitious57 wrote:Can you ever remember experiencing any fear of anything?

No, but as already explained 'ken' has had many experiences of fear throughout his life.

By the way if it sounds crazy talking like that, then so be it. I totally understand that it would but it is about the best I can do, at the moment, while I am learning how to express better.

Do you think fear can be explained rationally which then negates the need to be afraid of anything?
Do you therefore think that confronting and understanding fear is the only real way to overcome it?

If you and I view and see things different then there are differences between people and you disproved your own argument.

In the genius forums it is often said that those who are perceived to be crazy are often the ones with the wisest insights.
