To clarify: if a boy desires a type of girl like Elizabeth Taylor who does not desire his type, he is compelled to put the proverbial horse before the cart and search for the type of girl who is ready to have sex with him.

He will then fall in love with her sexual organs regardless of what her features are like.

What he meant by that comment was that if love fails between a male and female, people may try other arrangements to meet their needs. He didn’t intend it to be discriminatory against people with different genetic predispositions. That said, I can see where his comment could be misconstrued. His earlier books show otherwise. This afterthought has nothing to do with the soundness of the basic principle. He even said that he could make a mistake in how he extended the principles but that does not invalidate the principles.

This just shows how offended you are regarding the claim that the eyes are not a sense organ. There is no way I can change your attitude. That’s your job. His claim will require further testing. It is not unfalsifiable. It's so sad because you are being way premature as usual. You are making people laugh out of ignorance just like you. You are not a philosopher. You're an idiot.

So true. Bear in mind, too, that in the New World, it will be mathematically impossible for a husband and wife to share a bed, because asking your spouse to sleep with you is a form of advance blaming.

But this is completely hypothetical given the changed conditions. You can't compare what happened in the past to what will happen when this knowledge is put into effect.

Looking in total perspective he's not to blame for his posts, but my reaction to him isn't either. He thinks he's justified because he thinks he's right, but he has failed in every attempt.

OMG, if you only knew how comforting this knowledge is to those who are older and going to die soon, you would jump at the chance to understand this chapter. But you're too concerned with being right. Oh well.

Very true David, this knowledge doesn't ignore the little things that can cause conflict between couples. Keeping someone in bed with you because of some unspoken rule that this is what marriage demands, is unhealthy. These little expectations can lead to bigger problems such as divorce if not caught early.

He wrote this in order to let the reader know that these words hurt no one when in a loving committed relationship. This was the 20th century where these words were not used for fear of being perverse. Once again, you have grabbed at anything you can to give people the wrong impression of him.

There are three types of homo-sexuals (note the correct spelling, which we find in Seymour's authentic writings but not in the corruptions peacegirl has been unsuccessfully peddling online for decades): glandular, inherited, and environmental. Seymour tells us that 98% of all homo-sexual activity comes from environmental homo-sexuals, who do what they do "only because boys and girls are denied the opportunity to indulge with the opposite sex and fall in love."

peacegirl elaborated on this several times in another thread. You see, environmental homo-sexual men are actually het; they are sexually attracted to women and women alone. Trouble is, they are so flouncingly effeminate that no woman will bang them. In the Golden Age, with environmental barriers removed, women will gleefully bang such men regardless of how much flouncing they do. In this age, though, despite being sexually attracted to women only, these men go up in the backsides of similarly situated men because . . . reasons.

Seymour also advised that all sexual conduct other than old-fashioned, down-home, country-style p-in-v intercourse with intent to procreate is "perversion," but - and this is very important - not in the derogatory sense.

I hope this clears things up for you, Lars.

He was trying to show how the environment could have an impact. He wasn't making a judgment against homosexuality. In fact, there was only one other mention of homosexuality in his books.

“I agree, Charlie, but what about the marriages that are
already here? And what about homosexuals?”
“In a relatively short period of time, only the new
marriages will be in existence. As for homosexuals, they are
free to find a partner without blame. This is their business.

He was writing in accordance with the times he was living. People used that word because they believed that anyone who deviated from the missionary position was a pervert. He was trying to show that using dirty words and all the rest would help keep marriages together. Why are you lying through your teeth?

You're running out of things to laugh at. There is no way anyone who has not read this chapter could understand the point he was making, yet this knowledge can actually save lives.

As I look back on my complaint it was equivalent to suing a psychiatrist for not allowing me to show him that his profession is coming to an end because he really doesn’t know what he is doing. Word for word, the complaint goes as follows:

The United States Government:

Because Jimmy Carter refused to grant an audience for the purpose of demonstrating how a scientific discovery can now unite all nations in a harmonious agreement that will break the vicious cycle of inflation and solve to everybody’s satisfaction the problems that are costing the people billions of dollars in rising prices and excessive taxes, and because this refusal violates my rights and his oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States which obviously includes doing everything in his power to solve these problems even to the extent of allowing someone outside the political arena to show him the answer, I, Seymour Lessans, representing the taxpayers who want to see a permanent solution, am taking Jimmy Carter to court as the only alternative to prove before 12 top ranking scientists, not political scientists, that his failure to faithfully execute his oath of office by investigating this discovery is a crime of the greatest magnitude and reason enough for the people who hired him and pay his salary to remove him from office. However, such removal is wholly unnecessary in view of the fact that no political party has the knowledge to cope with these complex problems. Therefore, if Mr. Carter will allow a demonstration in his office within 60 days from the date of this complaint, there will be no need to go to court and he will be completely amazed and pleased with the solution even though it renders obsolete the age of politics, an age of opinions and promises by politicians who are voted into office only because we didn’t know what else to do.
:laugh:
You wouldn't be laughing if you had been in his shoes. He knew war could come to an end but because he was an unknown, he couldn't get an audience. He was correct that no politician has the answer to the problems that are confronting us, and it's still going on today. He felt sad and desperate after so many years. He was grasping at anything that could get him some publicity. He knew there was a possibility it would be thrown out, which is what occurred. Blame him all you want.

To clarify: if a boy desires a type of girl like Elizabeth Taylor who does not desire his type, he is compelled to put the proverbial horse before the cart and search for the type of girl who is ready to have sex with him.

He will then fall in love with her sexual organs regardless of what her features are like.
If people haven't read Chapter Four and Eleven, they won't understand why this statement is true. We often get criticized for our choice in partners but when all critical judgment is removed, and we find someone who is as ready for commitment as we are, it won't be hard to find someone to marry because the standards we use today will be obsolete. What will matter the most is physical attraction, but it is important to understand that when children growing up are not conditioned by words such as beautiful and ugly (which words are not symbolic of reality), it will be much easier to find someone who appeals to us because there will be no standard that judges some people more valuable physically than others except on a personal level.

It's not. You understand some of it but you want to simplify it to such an extent that it looks ridiculous. No one would be excited to read a 6-sentence summary that took this author 30 years and 7 books to write. It doesn't work. Why is it so hard for people to read Chapter One and Two? You never read it in its entirety. No one has. It's nuts. I'm not even asking people to read chapter three, although I think it would peak their interest. And please speak for yourself when you say "we get it."

I would.

Too much rambling. That's what ruined it for me.

You never read it in its entirety. No one has.
Again, too much rambling.

It's nuts. I'm not even asking people to read chapter three, although I think it would peak their interest. And please speak for yourself when you say "we get it."
Too much rambling. (But then, I already said that.)

It's disheartening, though unsurprising, to see that your comprehension of the Authentic Text is so spectacularly deficient. Of course, it is not for me to correct you. That thankless task falls to the True Steward of Seymour Lessans's intellectual legacy. He is likely at work1 right now, but will no doubt provide the necessary correction as time allows.

1In the virtually certain event you don't understand what that entails, please let me know and I will explain.

It's such bullshit. At this point your only goal is to undermine this knowledge with anything you can, even though they are outright lies. The word sorry is not in your vocabulary. You have no integrity.

It's not. You understand some of it but you want to simplify it to such an extent that it looks ridiculous. No one would be excited to read a 6-sentence summary that took this author 30 years and 7 books to write. It doesn't work. Why is it so hard for people to read Chapter One and Two? You never read it in its entirety. No one has. It's nuts. I'm not even asking people to read chapter three, although I think it would peak their interest.

Whch part did I NOT undertstand, peacegirl?

Stop bullshitting yourself. EVERYTHIHG can be summarized in a few graphs, including the hardest stuff known to the minds of man, stuff like quantum mechanics, which Einstein among other broke his brain over. But after the summary, you explain that to fully understand the material, you have to read the book. This is how it is done. NOBODY understands quantum mechanics just by reading the summary of it, but the summary CAN help people prepare for what they are about to study. (Actually, nobody understands quantum mechanics AFTER studying it, either, but that’s another story.)

How many goddamn times over the last 20 years have people asked you to summarize the finding, including just the other day FX right here, and you produce NOTHING? And then everyone thinks you don’t understand the stuff yourself. Of course people think you are either a con artist or a loon.

If you don’t think the summary is good enough, work with me to refine it. I really am trying to help you, sincerely, because TBH, I do think sometines we were a little mean to you. Not that you don’t deserve it, lol, but even so, I am willing to put all that aside and help you craft a summary that you can work with. And always keep in mind, you tell people the summary is not enough to fully understand the work, you have to study the work itself.
