THIS IS WHY SCHOPENHAUER SAYS GENIUS IS WORTHLESS IN A PRACTICAL SENSE

2017-12-04 16:47:16 UTC  

IT CAN ONLY TELL YOU WHAT THOUGHT IS STRUCTURED CORRECTLY

2017-12-04 16:59:16 UTC  

I don't think the ubermensch can be intelligent without being physically intelligent

2017-12-04 16:59:48 UTC  

there's even a strong data supported correlation between physical coordination and IQ, and an obvious consideration that the physically tough and active are going to have more practical ideas than people who do not go outside

2017-12-04 17:22:07 UTC  

Misanthropy is only possible because of self-hatred

2017-12-04 17:23:55 UTC  

The unwanted characteristics of a misanthrope are then found in others and thus serve to enable their own self evaluation

2017-12-04 17:24:03 UTC  

See it's not just me it's the race

2017-12-04 17:24:05 UTC  

@Exilarch PHYSICAL COORDINATION REFLECTS NERVE SPEED AND ORGANIZATION OF THE BRAIN

2017-12-04 17:24:09 UTC  

SO THAT MAKES SENSE

2017-12-04 17:24:23 UTC  

BUT THIS INDICATES THAT QUALITY OF BRAIN IS PHYSICAL

2017-12-04 17:24:45 UTC  

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ MISANTHROPY WOULD BE BLANKET HATRED; I DESIRE QUALITY CONTROL

2017-12-04 17:24:51 UTC  

TO LOVE HUMANITY IS TO HATE ITS WEAKNESSES

2017-12-04 17:25:06 UTC  

WHEN THOSE ARE EMBODIED IN PEOPLE MORE THAN NOT, IT MAKES SENSE TO HAARSLEV THEM AND REWARD THE GOOD INSTEAD

2017-12-04 17:26:45 UTC  

Weakness is good.

2017-12-04 17:26:58 UTC  

There's nothing to overcome if you're not weak in some way.

2017-12-04 17:27:05 UTC  

And what's most valuable is what's earned.

2017-12-04 17:27:06 UTC  

I think you have to love your weaknesses or they fall out of your control.

2017-12-04 17:27:40 UTC  

If you try to push them out, you only make them crop up in more subtle and therefore less manageable ways

2017-12-04 17:28:25 UTC  

Weakness is to be loved, for giving you something to overcome.

2017-12-04 17:29:24 UTC  

Your weakness can exist for others.

2017-12-04 17:29:44 UTC  

It's their challenge.

2017-12-04 17:30:20 UTC  

Overcoming weakness doesn't really mean eliminating them but making yourself whole I guess. That whole chariot metaphor. You don't get rid of passions or desires you direct them.

2017-12-04 17:30:21 UTC  

And it's your challenge to be involved in their challenge in this way.

2017-12-04 17:31:09 UTC  

The problem is only in weakness being made strength, and strength being made weakness.

2017-12-04 17:31:20 UTC  

@Nester "There's nothing to overcome if you're not weak in some way." -- I DISAGREE. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO BE BETTER, BUT CALLING THAT WEAKNESS IS A STRETCH.

2017-12-04 17:31:29 UTC  

SOME PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY WEAK IN MENTAL AND MORAL STRUCTURE

2017-12-04 17:31:34 UTC  

IF WE HAARSLEV THEM, EVOLUTION ADVANCES

2017-12-04 17:32:51 UTC  

Evolution isn't teleological. Unless you have a theological bent

2017-12-04 17:32:57 UTC  

That's unstated

2017-12-04 17:33:02 UTC  

They should be allowed and encouraged to work out their problems.

2017-12-04 17:33:05 UTC  

CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT IS NOT TELEOLOGICAL

2017-12-04 17:33:08 UTC  

And punished if need be.

2017-12-04 17:33:11 UTC  

ADAPTATION

2017-12-04 17:33:13 UTC  

IS THE RULE

2017-12-04 17:33:26 UTC  

Adaption isn't improvement

2017-12-04 17:33:46 UTC  

A flying squirrel isn't an improvement over a grounded one

2017-12-04 17:34:08 UTC  

Each is adapted to circumstance/ecological niche

2017-12-04 17:34:43 UTC  

A flying squirrel is an improvement over a grounded one in an ecological niche rewarding flying.

2017-12-04 17:35:55 UTC  

But you're presuming that both occupy the same niche

2017-12-04 17:35:59 UTC  

And evolution isn't perfect.
