For those who wish to give up religion and adopt a more sane way of life, this small dictionary may offer some help. The reason religion is insanity, not a form of insanity, but insanity itself, is because it fits the definition. Believers create something in their own minds, then react to it as if it were real. This is the exact definition of insanity. This is what most patients in a mental hospital do. They create something in their own minds, a voice, a hallucination, a monster, a hobgoblin, whatever, then react to it as if it were real. This is not to say that all religion is bad. Far from it. Some religious persons are saints. But, being insane is not being bad. The sweetest person on earth could be, and probably is, insane.

A child, for example, will create a monster in his bedroom at night after dark, and die of terror believing the monster is real. Children will discover a vacant house in a neighborhood and start telling each other the house is haunted. Quickly they plug into this insanity, and believe the house is haunted, and will walk blocks around the house to avoid it. Sometimes this fear will follow them into adulthood. Sometimes an ugly old woman, or, in some cases, the woman need not be too ugly, just old, and the children will start calling her a witch. They soon believe the old lady is a witch. And if they have to pass her on the street, will scream with terror.

These are small examples of insanity. And they are small examples of how one need not be bad nor evil to be insane. The children are insane, but it most cases they get over it. Then they grow up, and develop new monsters (homosexuals) and new witches, (child molesters, rapists) and new delusions (god, angels, the devil, sin, virtue, etc., ad infinitum) They continue in this insanity because there is no one to tell them the things that go bump in the night are not real. And if someone does tell them, they refuse to believe it. But believe it or not, they are every bit as insane as the psychotics in straight jackets. The are just insane in nicer ways.

More proof of the fact (not a theory) that religion and insanity are one and the same lies in the field of psychology and psychiatry. In the entire field, there is only one test to determine a person's sanity -- the Minnesota Multiphasic: Personality Test... This is the only test of sanity. The way it works is that there are approximately 500 questions the testee has to answer. Interspersed throughout the test there are dozens of questions relating to religion. Each question the testee misses is a mark against his sanity. If he gets all the questions wrong, then he is, of course, totally insane. But it is interesting to note that every question pertaining to religion and the testee's belief in god is a mark against him.

Mental institutions are more proof. Most people who enter mental institutions are professed bible thumpers. They come in with bibles under their arms. But they don't leave until they lay the bible down and spit on it. They are never declared cured until the psychiatrist becomes convinced they have given up religion. One man I knew spent 25 years in a mental hospital in Arkansas. He was finally released after he lost all of his belief in god. When I met him, he was able to shake his fist toward the heavens and curse god. I was still religious at that time, so this act of blasphemy scared the pants off me. The man was standing there, looking up to heaven and cursing god. I was terrified he would instantly be struck by lightening. He wasn't. Nothing happened. The man walked away laughing. I walked away with a firmer grip on reality.

(1.) The map is not the territory.

This means the word is not the reality. One doctor in a mental hospital noticed a patient would scribble the word steak on a piece of paper, then eat the paper. Obviously the patient was very hungry. But to him, the word steak and the steak in reality were one and the same.
Another test involved having a person take a pencil and poke the eyes out of photographs of various people. The subject had a great time picking up one photo after another and poking the pencil into the eyes of the picture. But the psychologist had slipped a photo of the subject's mother into the stack, and when the subject came to this photo, he could not poke her eyes out. The photo and his mother were one and the same. No amount of coaxing would get the subject to poke the pencil into the eyes of his mother's photo. We often think the label and the concrete reality are one and the same. They never are.

(2.) You cannot step into the same river twice.

This means reality is in constant flux. Nothing is the same right now as it was yesterday, nor even one minute ago.
A boy who steals an apple is labeled a thief. But the boy grows up and never steals another thing. What he was yesterday is not what he might be right now. I once asked a boy if he were homosexual. His answer floored me. "Sometimes," he said. I had never before heard of a "part time" homosexual. This boy was bright enough to know that just because he went out nights turning tricks, that he was not necessarily a homosexual. He was not particularly bright, but it taught me that obtuse people often say the brightest things. I knew then that a truth is a truth even if spoken by an ass. Perhaps the best example of the subject of this paragraph is a child who plays with his doggie at home. He goes for a walk and meets another "doggie." He approaches the dog saying, "Here doggie, good doggie," etc., and the dog tears the boy to shreds. All doggies are not good doggies.

(3.) "All" and "They."

All blacks are lazy. All Mexicans are stupid. All mothers are nice. All white people are smart.
How do you know?
That's what "They" say.
Who is "they?"
When someone gives you some information and says that's what "they say," ask him. "Who is they?"
Usually he won't know.
Germany murdered 7 million Jews.
Germany did not murder anyone. Germany is a country. No country has ever declared war. Not even the German people. Certain leaders and politicians, yes. But not Germany. There is a great difference between Adolph Hitler and Germany.

4. The world of words and not words.

I have written about this before. We live in two worlds: The world of words. And the world of not words.

What we say about something is the word. What we speak of is the world of not words . The world of nature. The concrete reality that can be touched, or otherwise perceived by one of the five senses, is the real world.
A rock is a real, natural, concrete reality. What one says about the rock is not reality.
The best way to know the difference between abstract words and concrete words is to determine if the word has an opposite. There is no opposite to words in reality. What is the opposite of rock? What is the opposite of a tree, or a mountain, or a cloud, or a river, etc, etc.? Words that have an opposite are words that point to or symbolize an abstract quality. And they are always invalid.
Suppose you say someone is beautiful. Beautiful is a word that has an opposite. Ugly. We have stated that words that have an opposite are invalid. So how is beautiful invalid. We have all seen things that were beautiful. We have all seen people that were beautiful. But were they? No, they were only beautiful in our eyes. In the eye of the beholder, or the one doing the looking. Someone might have seen Shirley Temple as beautiful. Her mother and father probably didn't see her as beautiful at all. They may have seen her as a little monster. Maybe not. But you get the idea. But the fact is, nobody in this world is beautiful, they only strike us that way. The rationale that applies to the word beautiful, applies to all abstract words, without exception.

(5) The bifurcated universe - good and evil

We have spoken of this in other articles, but to review:
The universe is not bifurcated. It is not split up into two parts as the religious zealots would have you believe. They want you to believe the universe is made up of good and evil, beautiful and ugly, etc., But its not. Good and evil are qualitites created by the language we have, speak, and use. But as we have shown elsewhere, the language of the human race created another world in addition to the one into which we were born. The world of words. This world is not real, it is a mental creation. The best example of this is "big" and "small."
Big and small are opposites. The opposite of big is small, and the opposite of small is big. This means they are abstract words, and are therefore, invalid.
Let's suppose you compare yourself to an ant. Are you big or small? You are big, of course. But an ant is not small compared to another ant. So, as you can see, you are only big or small, depending upon what you compare yourself to.

Einstein called this his theory of relativity. Everything is relative. One other example is to fill three containers with water. Heat each container until it is 30 degrees hotter than the last. So, you have three containers one warm, one hot, and one hotter. Put your hand into the middle container. Then put it into one of the other containers. If you put your hand in the first container, it will seem cold. If you put your hand in the third container, it will seem hot. So even a simple thing like hot and cold are relative. The universe is not divided. It is homogenous. Whatever it is, good, bad, indifferent, it is all the same. The universe into which you were born is neither good nor bad, wicked, nor excellent, it just is.

(6.)The anthropomorphic deity.

If you have a mind set, or an attitude, or and idea in your head, and you see this in someone or something else outside yourself, you are, in reality, not looking at that other person, or thing, but at yourself.

This is the basic structure of paranoia. A paranoid person is filled with hate and hostility. He thrusts these thoughts, attitudes, etc., into others, and sees them at hateful and hostile. He does, in fact, project himself into others. Which causes him to live in a very contentious world. It must be very rough living in a world in which everyone you meet hates you and is out to do you harm.
Incidentally, , almost everyone is paranoid to some degree, in one way or another. ,
And everyone who is religious, is totally paranoid because they project their own qualities into god. Or, they at least project the qualitites they would like their god to posses.

"God is good." This is a projection. God is not good. Good is a human quality. Gods do not have human qualities. "God is love."Wrong! Love is, again, a human quality. Gods are deities. They do not have human qualities, nor emotions. But each man projects himself into god, and makes god in his own image, and is therefore, insane. In his paranoia he has created an anthropomorphic god.
"God hates homosexuals." Wrong. Hate is a human quality. Gods have no human qualities.

For this reason, we can in all truth say that every word ever spoken about god is a lie. Why? Because humans cannot speak in divine terms, cannot speak divine words, and don't know how to speak in any language except human. Gods don't speak human, don't think in human terms, and are therefore unspeakable from a human standpoint.
Face it, we know absolutely nothing about god.
This is in addition to not even knowing if there is a god.
As one of my students once said, "If there is a god, there might as well not be because he doesn't communicate with man, does not participate in human activities, does not show himself, and doesn't even answer when you talk to him. He does not make himself available to man in any shape, fashion nor form. So I repeat, if there is a god, there might as well not be."

The folklore way of saying you are paranoid, is to say that we judge others by ourselves.
The best example I can think of is an incident involving my late brother.
We were talking about the cemetery in which our mother was buried. He said, the cemetery is run by a bunch of thieves. I drove by there the other day, and a pickup truck was driving around to all the grave sites stealing the flowers.
It took me a while to figure this out, but my brother has always had sticky fingers.
The cemetery had metal grave markers that were flush with the ground so the grounds keepers could mow the grass right over the headstones, except they are not stones, they are bronze. They have to pick up all the flowers before they can mow. Further reflection reveals that most of the flowers were plastic. Of what possible use would anyone have for plastic flowers? The men were not stealing the flowers, they were merely grounds keepers preparing to mow.
My brother was projecting his own penchant for stealing into people he did not know.
He was judging others by his own inclination.
People who have character defects invariably judge others to be as they themselves are inclined to be.
So, an anthropomorphic god is a god created by man, thus the "anthro" part of the word - anthro being a suffix meaning "man" or "of man" or from man, as in anthropology, the study of mankind. An anthropomorphic god is a god created by man. There is no other. And, if there is, there might as well not be. There is no proof of a god except manmade proof .

(7.) The emotional impact of words.

Some words carry a tremendous emotional charge. Others are charged, but not so strongly. I once sat in on a child molesting case in court, and the prosecutor continued using the word child. The defense attorney objected. "On what grounds?" inquired the judge. "On the grounds that the world child is inflammatory and prejudicial, your honor. The prosecutor should be ordered to refer to the victim as Witness, not child."
The judge sustained the objection.
"Counsel will refer to the witness as witness, not child, and the jury will disregard the term child."
The defense won the case.
This lawyer was clever and knowledgeable enough to know that certain words are loaded with emotion. Child is one of them. Mother is another. The list is endless.
We are reminded of a certain TV Station in Sacramento the commercials in between other commercials that talk about various ways we can help "our children." The message generally ends with "for kids sake." Constant barrage of emotionalism is such an obvious play for support for the TV Station that it became sickening. Any time you want to arouse the emotions in the masses, use the word "child" or "kid." At least in this country. We live only for our children. But don't try this in other countries and cultures because children have not attained the level of divinity in much of the world.

(8.) Looking at the world through dung colored glasses.

There are people that go through life looking at the world through dung colored glasses. I usually use another scatological term for dung but you get the idea. This is the opposite of those who look at the world through rose colored glasses. The latter sees a bunch of weeds as pretty flowers, the former sees he pretty flowers as disgusting weeds. Don't try to tell the dung bug that the universe is not screwed up, but his attitude is. He sees everything as s- because of his psyche, his screwed up attitude. I once had a room mate in college who saw the wicked and evil in everything. All businessmen were crooks. All politicians were evil men. All church goers were hypocrites. All women were whores, or worse. All children were little monsters, or rug rats, or drape monkeys, etc., etc. Everything was ugly. I once told the man that if I lived in the world he lived in, I would blow my brains out. He didn't hear a word I said.

(9.) Thinking with the gonads

The day a man is born he is given a penis and two testicles, if he is lucky. As he approaches puberty, the call of the wild becomes stronger and stronger. The sex organs start exerting an influence upon the boy that is stronger than any other force, with the possible exception of hunger. By the time the man is in full bloom, i.e., by the time puberty is in full swing, the man has a sexual pull on his entire being that is as strong as the tides. A dead tree will remind him of a girl (if he is straight.)
A guide was showing a Frenchman the New York panorama from atop the Empire State Building.
"Ah," said the Frenchman. "It reminds me of a beautiful girl."
"The city reminds you of a beautiful girl?"
"But yes, Monsieur," the Frenchman exclaimed. "Everything reminds me of a beautiful girl."
So goes it with the average man.
Scientists have concluded that almost all the energy expended in a culture is the sublimated sex drive. An artist is expressing his libido, as is an architect, a musician, an engineer, a writer, anyone who does anything of a creative nature is subliminally making babies. One pundit expressed it thusly, "Our entire civilization is built on a stiff penis."
Truer words were never spoken. So the next time you develop an interest in a project that absolutely sets you on fire, stop and ask the question, "Is this me? Am I thinking with my brains or with my gonads?"
Chances are, it's the latter.

(10.) Projecting

We have already explored this subject in the above.
Projecting is a human frailty that plays a tremendous part in the human struggle. It occurs in almost every aspect of our lives. We project ourselves into almost everything we do. One of the most comical is our natural bent for projecting our own personality into our pets. My poochie loves me. My poochie is very intelligent, etc., etc. I am often amused at people who talk to their dogs. I have often asked them, "Why are you talking to that dog. He doesn't speak English?" This slows them down not a whit.

(11.) How ones moods and feelings affect ones perception of reality

If you wake up in the morning with a sour stomach or a bursting headache, you are likely to go through the day playing the part of the dung bug, (above.)
Everything is gloomy and depressing to you. You never smile until around lunch time, and your whole day is a shamble. If the most beautiful girl in the world asked you for a date, you would say no because she looks like a hustler. You are in such a mood that everything is ugly...to you.
Before you make an type of major decision, make sure it is not because you have a headache, or heartburn. Your physical well being can influence your mental outlook tremendously. That's the reason experts advise us not to go grocery shopping when we are hungry.

(12.) Love and hate. Are they different?

Some scholars say love and hate are one and the same emotion. This appears to be true. We love that which we hate. We hate that which we wish to become, but cannot, which activates the hate. Say for example, you want to be a woman. You cannot. You have the wrong set of tools. So, this prompts you to hate the woman because you cannot be her. But, in a civilized man, hate is not permitted. You are afraid to express hate because "it ain't nice." So, the hate is banished into the subconscious, and lies there, dormant, and eventually does a flip-flop and comes to the surface as love. See, I'm a nice boy. I don't hate you. I love you. (Excuse me, while I find a butcher knife. For some strange reason I feel compelled to murder you.) I don't know if this theory has ever been proved, but I know it is true. I have seen too much proof in real life. Love and hate are one and the same thing.
Wise men never fall in love.
This old saying is more than an old saying. It is an absolute truth. Why do wise me never fall in love?
Love is a form of insanity. It falls into the category of creating a apparition in our own mind, then reacting to this spook as if were real. It is a mental hallucination. You see a person, the person takes on supernatural qualities in your mind, a superman, or girl, or boy or whatever. The person takes on a cloak of divine splendor and you fall to your knees in adoration. You actually worship the other. This is all well and good - except for one small detail. The person you worship is not godly, but an ordinary human being. He or she poops between two legs just like everyone else.
It is said that the honeymoon ends when the wife comes into the bathroom and takes a ship while you are shaving. It is then, and only then, that, too late, you come to the realization that you have not married a deity but an ordinary human being whose ship stinks like hell. "What the hell is the matter with me? I must have been nuts!" You were. And that's the reason wise men never fall in love. They never go insane.
Another perfectly lovely illustration of the insanity of love is people falling in love with those that others consider "dogs." The nicest and sweetest boy in school winds up falling in love with the worst dog in the county. The girl that has been laid by every boy withing a 500 mile radius. "What is Hell does he see in her? " Or the girl who brings her fiancee around and brags about catching the most handsome boy in the world. "Isn't he gorgeous?" she gushes. And under your breath you say, "Jeez, where did she find that ape?" But to her you say, "Oh, he's adorable." You can't tell her she hasn't won any prize. She would never believe you, and it would make you look like a kill joy. When you fall in love, the loved one is a god to you, and no one else. Never ask another to join you in believing he or she is adorable. He's not. He is just an ordinary piece of meat to the other party. You are the one in love. You are the one enjoying a moment of insanity.
Another example of the insanity of love is men who fall in love with and marry women. Why do men fall in love with women? They certainly have nothing in common. They are totally different. One author said men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. Each is from a completely different planet. For a man to fall in love with a woman is not that different from a man falling in love with a dog. Or vice versa. They have about the same amount in common. In this regard, men falling in love with other men is more rational that straight love, because the men at least have something in common. Maybe a couple of things. Maybe more. So why does a man fall in love with a woman? Because he wants to be a woman. Proof of this lies in the fact that love is not a universal quality. There are many cultures in which love has never been heard of. The Eskimoes, for example, don't have a word for it. There is no Eskimo word for love. Many cultures have no word for love. And even if they do have a word for love, it does not apply to the relationship between men and women. Many Asian cultures, for example, have pre-arranged marriages. The parents pick out your wife for you. Sometimes when you are a kid. Ask them about love and you get a blank stare. "Love? What is that? My parents tell me whom to love."
Heterosexuals like to preach and pontificate about how men and women are made for each other. It is natural for men and women to come together, fall in love, copulate, and replenish the earth. Wrong!
It is not natural. As pointed out above, men and women have so little in common that they are, by nature, congenital enemies. Civilization has caused them to sublimate these feelings and act nice to each other, but underneath they are born competitors. Men want to compete with women so strongly that they even, sometimes, take on affectations that are unmistakably feminine. They want to be women. They can't. The hate, the flip-flop. Love blossoms. But the hate is always there. That's the reason so many couples divorce after twenty-five or thirty years. They absolutely cannot learn to stand each other. No matter how many years they live together, the hate never goes away.
Aside from the psychological make up of men and women, there is the historical peculiarity of this so-called natural attraction of men to women, and vice versa. Romantic love, as we know it today, i.e., love between men and women, is a fairly new invention. It is not normal, it is not natural, it is not always been thusly. Love, as we know it today, was not invented until around the fifteenth century. Even as late as the Roman Empire and the Greek city states, love between men and women was not practiced. In fact, it was looked down upon. Men who fell in love with women were placed in about the same category as men who fell in love with cattle. They were perverts. Because that is what women were-- cattle, livestock, chattel, property. When someone fell in love, it was with a boy. Not a girl, not a woman, not a female human. The only time men copulated with women was when new livestock was needed. When sex was wanted, or love, there was the beautiful boy.
American Indians practiced this lifestyle, to some degree. When no squaw was available, the buck was given a boy. Usually the man and boy fell in love, or something closely akin to love, and lived together for life. The buck would seldom discard the boy and take a squaw even when one became available. This subject is touched upon in the movie, "Little Big Man," with Dustin Hoffman. The "boy" acted effeminate, but I doubt this happened in real life - only in Hollywood. The boys had a name, they were called berduches, or something like that. The subject is worth being researched.
There is plenty of proof that love between men and women is not natural, normal, nor historically verifiable. We have adopted the farce, the bill of goods, in this culture because it fits the Christians Church plan for replenishing the earth, and it causes some men to be vilified as "homosexual." It gives the Christians something to hate. They like that.

But don't for a minute, think that just because you love a women, girl, or female that you are normal and natural. Nor that the gods love you for it. 'Taint so.

(13.) The insanity of talking.

Is there anything in this culture that is not insane? Not much. Talking certainly isn't. Talk, as we practice it, is the vilest form of insanity. And the most sneaky.
How is talking insane? We substitute it for reality. As described in previous passages, we accept words as real. This is insanity because words are not real, they are abstractions. Someone invented the word god and we accepted it as real, and that god is real, and made god central to our lives. But it is only a word. Then some idiot invented the word Santa Claus. And we accepted that as real. At least, our children did. Some of us still believe in dear old Santa.
Somewhere back in time, we invented abstract words. And they became real to us. Remember the psychotic who scribbled the word steak on a piece of paper, then ate it?
But this is not the most Machiavellian misuse of words. There is one worse. Much worse. And that is the practice of talking about a subject and letting it become real in our own minds.
I'm sure you have met homeless persons, street people, bums, winos, who talk about owning a 5000 acre ranch back in Texas. Or having a million dollars in the bank. Or being a philosophy major with a degree. You walk away shaking your head. "What a liar," you mutter to yourself. But the man is not lying. He believes all this crap. He has talked about it so much and so long, it has become real to him.
Or, you have women sit around chattering like magpies. Talking about the things whey want. A new home. A new mink. A new dress. Well, when these ladies leave the group, they have these things. They get the same satisfaction out of talking about these things as they do in owning them!
We talk about a subject and it become real.
This is the reason group therapy works. We sit around and talk about a subject, and it becomes real. We lose the puny image of ourselves and become the heroic supermen of our dreams. Oh, yes. Men do this too. Black people are particularly prone to this form of insanity. Drive through a black community and you will see "parties" of people sitting around on the front porch jabbering away. The are living their dreams. This is a substitute for reality for them. They don't need to find a job and work, and buy the things they want and need. All they need do is talk about it. And it becomes real.
This is the reason sitting around jabbering is so pleasurable. It gets you anything you want .

(14.) Believing

Almost the whole world lives according to their beliefs. Worse than that, they live their entire lives believing this, or that, or a dozen to a thousand other things.
Yet not one percent of them can define the word belief, or believe.
They cannot even give a standard dictionary definition of the word believe.
The point to be made here is that almost no one has any knowledge. They have no facts. The know nothing.
They just believe.
The worst example of this regard is the transplanted Asian community. I became quite active in helping Asian immigrants a few years ago. I was stupefied to learn that,
1. Almost none of these souls could read.
2. None ever watched television.
3 None ever read a newspaper.
4. None ever read a book.
5. None ever watched a movie.
6. None ever listened to a radio.
In fact, these people had absolutely no information except what they heard from other Asians equally ignorant as themselves. Their only source of information and news was gossip and rumor.
I remembered when I was a kid back in Arkansas, our situation was almost exactly the same.
No body knew anything.
That's the reason I had to spend almost a lifetime unlearning the things I had been taught as a child. Nothing I had been taught was accurate nor valid.
Many people are in exactly the same situation right now, today, in this culture. They have been taught lies all their lives. And the worst part is they don't even know they are lies, nor that they are believing lies.
Don't be too infatuated nor enamored with your beliefs. Chances are, in fact, it is a scientific fact, that 98% of everything you believe is a lie.

(15.) Cosmic Consciousness

I once uttered the word cosmic consciousness in a class I was teaching, and the males of the class started sniggering. It seemed idiotic and ludicrous to me that people would snigger or ridicule or scoff at something they had never heard of before.
None of these men know what Cosmic Consciousness was nor the definition of the word. Still they laughed at the idea. I refused to educate the men because it made me mad that anyone could be so ignorant. If they were this dumb, let them remain dumb.
But you, dear reader, have come this far, so you must be interested in learning, so I will explain exactly what cosmic consciousness means. Actually, the word has noting to do with mystical nor supernatural but something quite normal, natural, and ordinary. What it means is that you need to be aware of what's going on in the rest of the world, (cosmos) as well as in your immediate vicinity. Law, for example. In this country it is against the law to rape a woman or girl. Fine. If you want to get caught up in the laws of this country and beat yourself for having got caught, and feel guilty and remorseful and ashamed of what you did, fine.
But, if you think a little, or do a little research, you will find that in another part of the world, rape is not even a crime. There are cultures in which it isn't even against the law to murder a woman. India, for example. And if it is illegal, the law does not punish the crime. So morality is a matter of geography. In one state it is illegal to marry a young girl. It is a crime. It is called child molesting. But in the next state, it is not against the law. In another time it is not against the law. I can remember when I was nine or ten, a girl that young could get married. Now if you even look at a girl that young, you can spend the rest of your life in prison. In this culture, men who love boys are considered the scum of the earth.
The organization that teaches man/boy love, NAMBLA, is considered the most ignominious and despicable organization on earth. If most had their way, the members would be crucified. Yet a few short years ago, man/boy love was not only socially acceptable it was mandated. Anyone who did not love boys was considered criminal, or, at least, a social misfit. Anyone who loved a woman was viewed with the same contempt as bestiality is in our culture today. In fact, there are cultures that still practice man/boy love the same as they did in ancient Rome. Melanesia, for example. Other cultures, while they don't necessarily approve it, don't punish it. In Denmark, for example, you can shoot pictures of naked boys (or girls) all day long. No problem. But if you even own such a picture in this bible-thumping culture, you will be imprisoned. Child pornography is viewed in exactly the same way as is child molesting. A picture of a naked child is corrupt in exactly the same way as is a naked child in the flesh.
In Thailand sex between men and boys is not frowned upon. Sex between men and young girls is not frowned upon. In fact, most children in Bangkok are "street kids." They are homeless, their parents kick them out the moment they can fend for themselves. And fend the kids do. By prostitution. That's the reason men travel to Thailand from all over the world. It is known as the sex capitol of the world. What goes on in the rest of the world has no effect whatsoever in our thinking. We are the super race. All of our beliefs are valid. Everybody else's are apostate.
Knowing what is going on in the whole world is called cosmic consciousness. It might help in your thinking if you familiarize yourself with this concept.

(16). Hate words - the destructive nature of

Hate words are words that denote hate. Not hate in the hated, but hate in the one using the word. We don't need to list the words here. We all know them - nigger, faggot, queer, whore, bitch, bastard, mother fucker, the list is endless. It should be learned that the words have nothing to do with whether the object of the words are truly hateful It only establishes that there is hate in the mind of the person using the word.
When I was younger, I mentioned that I hate someone. My friend, someone much older and wiser, asked me, "Do you think he cares? Do you think that hurts him?" I had to admit, probably not.
"Do you know who it does hurt?" He asked me.
"No," I replied. "Who?"
"The person doing the hating,"He said. "Just remember, when you are pointing a finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing at yourself. And we usually hate that in another that we most fear in ourselves."
I remembered that lesson for a lifetime.

(17.) Living in a sane society - or is it?

Scientists, scholars, psychiatrists, doctors have known for decades are all in agreement that our society is sick. However, they don't teach this to any large extent because it doesn't make them too popular. And most who hear this proclamation they say, "Oh, society is sick. That's society. I am not sick." Wrong! Society is not some colossal monster that is sick, society is this giant monster in which every single person in that collection is sick. Individually, not collectively.
Why are we sick? Or rather, what is it that defines us as sick?
Mostly our beliefs. Our minds are filled with the things we believe and not the things we know. And the experts agree that 98% of everything we believe is false.
We are all stumbling on though life not knowing anything, and believing a whole mass of so-called "knowledge" that is totally worthless, useless, and false. Beliefs. For example, everything, absolutely everything, we think we know about religion is false. We have already pointed out that everything ever said about god is a lie.
Does this hurt us? Without question. Going through life knowing absolutely nothing is a total waste. Where would this civilization be today if we had not spent our entire history worshiping and believing something that does not exist?
I have always maintained that if everybody spent as much time trying to get rich as they spend in church, we would all be millionaires. The same goes for sports and athletics.
If we spent as much time working as we spend attending various sports events every Sunday, every hungry child in the world would be fed. Food, not garbage found in Church on Sunday. Education is not far behind. Much of our activity is a total loss, and a total waste of time.
A professor once asked the question, "Would you rather be sick in a sane society, or sane in a sick society?"
Think about it. One might cure a single person. But can one cure an entire society?

not likely.

(18.) The emotional impact of words on the human organism

This subject has been pretty much covered in the above section on the emotional impact of words. The only difference between that one and this one is the actual physical impact words can make on the human organism.
It has been said that the word sex is so emotionally laden that no other word impacts the human organism so much. Experts say that a person can mount a crowded street car and yell the word "Sex!" and one will see every emotional reaction there is in the passengers. Some will even throw up. Some will break out in a cold sweat, some will faint. Other words affect the human organism similarly, but not to this extent. I once told a boy I would be his father after he told me he did not have one. The boy literally went out of his mind with rage. I have never seen anyone convert to a madman so quickly except in the movies. This boy was ready to do me great harm. It seems this boy had been physically and sexually abused by his father when he was a child. To this boy, years later, all men represented his father to him. He hated all fathers.
I thought he would appreciate a father. I couldn't have been further. The idea of having another father was the most hateful thing that could happen to this boy. The very word, father, had such an emotional impact on him that he was ready to murder.
What can we learn from this? Check out your own dictionary of words that affect you emotionally. Try to figure out what makes these words affect you so deeply. Then, when these words come up in your interacting with people, remember that you are dealing with the past. Not the present. It is pretty obvious that the boys in Wyoming who murdered the Shepard boy because he was gay, had an emotional reaction to the word gay, or homosexual, or some other word that made them murder. If they had stopped to think for just a moment, the boy might still be alive, and the murderers might not be facing life in prison, or worse.
In writing this article I am using a word processing system that has an automatic built in Thesaurus. When I type a word, it appears above the manuscript on my monitor. I can click on it and a whole series of words will fall down that are similar to the word in use. Apparently the person who wrote the program had a problem with "dirty" words. Anytime I type in a dirty word, the prompt will show me dozens of words that the programmer thought would be "nicer" words to use- "shit" for example, should be replaced by "shirt" "ship" or a dozen other words. He/she didn't care if the word was completely inappropriate to the that context. He/she just didn't want me to use any nasty words. The emotional impact of dirty words on this programmer must have been enormous. It must be sad to go through life hearing so many "bad" words that one is ready to flip out upon hearing them.

(19.) An introduction to non -Aristotelian philosophy - A is either A or it is not A

The Aristotelian philosophy contends that something either is, or it isn't. A boy is either a boy, or he is not a boy. If he's not a boy, then he must be a girl. In the general semantic way of thinking a boy doesn't have to be a girl to not be a boy, he can be somewhere in between.
We touched upon this in our categorizing of homosexuals. Some people are somewhere in between being a male or a female. Some babies are born girls, but have a penis. (Apropo to this, on the program ER just last night an eleven year old girl was brought into the emergency room. The doctors probed and discovered the little girl had two testes. The parents were devastated.) Some girls are born boys with a vagina. In the semantic way of looking at things, something does not have to be either black or white. It can be hundred different shades of gray. A good way to view this is to forget the phrase "either/or" and replace it with "not only/but also."

(20.) The love trap

To the degree that you love another to the exclusion of all others, to that degree you are insane. This is a difficult concept to understand, and to accept, mainly because we have all fallen in love at one time or another, and most of us are still in love to one degree or another, so we all feel the pain. The wise men of the world say that all people are equal, and we should not love one over another. I find this more religious than scientific since we all know that some people are more loveable that others. And some people absolutely will not permit you to love them. Some people cannot be loved (except perhaps from a distance, which is not love) and some people absolutely cannot allow themselves to be loved. They will drive anyone away who gets close. I have always wondered why women (in this culture) will spend billions of dollars to make themselves "beautiful" then when a man notices them, or makes a pass, or gets within arm's reach the woman will (a) either throw rocks at the man, or, (b) call a cop. I am reminded of the woman who called a cop, "Officer, that man is annoying me." "But lady, that man isn't even looking at you." "That's what annoys me."
We pretty much accept that the person we love is not nearly so magnificent and glorious as we perceive. He/she is quite ordinary, as a matter of fact. Our love is merely our perception of that person. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."Our perception is so far off base that we are actually insane. Have you ever had another introduce you to his latest love, and later ask you, "Isn't she/he magnif?"
And you want to throw up. Aside you ask, "Where did he/she meet that dog?" "What does he see in her/him?" I once had a friend who ranted and raved about his wife constantly. How beautiful she was, how much he loved her, on and on. Months later when I actually met his wife, she was a whale. And the strangest part of this story is that my friend was a movie star. He was actually one of the most handsome men I had ever met. How could this Greek god fall for such a, excuse the expression, pig? But love her he did. With all his heart.
Don't ever make the mistake of thinking that the person you love is as splendid and grand as you perceive him/her to be. Love is a form of insanity.

(21.) Why? The great why.

If you have something of an unusual or lamentable nature happen to you, your first question usually is, "why?" "Why did god take my child from me?" Why? Why? Why? Usually the question involves god. Why would god do this, or why did god do that, whatever. In the semantic orientation, we do not stipulate that there is a god, so the great "Why?" has no meaning.
Also, in general semantics we do not accept the theory of cause and effect. Did the rain cause the cloud, or did the cloud cause the rain? One did not cause the other. They just happen. Most "why" questions are what the semanticists call mental masturbation. They mean nothing. The only way to answer a why question is to reverse it. Why am I sick? Reverse this and remove the why, "I am sick." "Why did my baby die?' Reverse the question and you have the answer, "My baby did die." End of story.
In court the system spends millions of dollars in trial proceedings asking the why question. The investigator in the Bill Clinton case spent $40,000,000 asking why did the president get the intern to blow him. (Because it feels good, stupid.) Why did this or that man murder? Does it make any difference? Can the intern un-blow to president? If they find out why so-and-so murdered, will it bring the victim back to life? Hardly. Asking Why is totally non productive.

(22.) Total Awareness

Total awareness is opposed to Cosmic Consciousness in that one should be aware of several things (if not all things) at any one time. For example, in another article we outline how a man falls in love with and generally marries a woman because he wants to be a woman. The first time I read this in a book on advanced psychology, I knew it was true because I had observed many men over a period of several years displaying feminine characteristics in the presence of their girl friends and/or wives. The female did not have to be present in all cases.
Then there was the phenomenon of couples living together for many years and winding up looking like each other. The man looks like the woman, and vice versa. Then there were the many men I had met who were more beautiful that their wives. I met a boy one time who, had he put on a dress, would have been more of a girl, and more beautiful, than his almost anyone. I made some comment and the boy said he was married and had five children. I made some dumb comment about him not looking like the marrying type. He said he didn't know there was a marrying type. But, lucky children! They had two mommies. Then there was the man that chose his wife's wardrobe. The wife was not permitted to buy her own clothes. The man claimed his wife didn't know how to select clothes. The truth was the man enjoyed shopping in the lady's section. He was more of a girl than his wife. The end argument is that men marry, devote their entire lives to another person, have children, devote the remainder of their lives to the offspring, and never know why!
Then there is the phenomenon of couvade With which every doctor is familiar. In couvade the man shares the same pain of childbirth as the woman. She gets morning sickness, he gets morning sickness. She feels a pain, he feels a pain. All these things flooded my mind as I read the passage. And I knew immediately it was true. Men want to be women. I have never figured out why. In fact, I have never devoted a lot of thought to it. But it's true. And naturally homosexuals are men who want to be women. So, homosexuals and heterosexuals are two peas in the same pod. I would have discarded this theory out of hand had I not all these stored bits of evidence that I knew not where to go with. The only real, hard-core men are bachelors.
Wise men don't fall in love because wise men don't want to be something they cannot possibly be - women. They are aware of all these things during their relationships.
A normal man would read this and become so furious that someone called him a wannabe woman, someone had the temerity to doubt his manhood. He would be too busy being blowing his stack to even consider the possibility of the revelation.
I recently saw a nine-year-old-boy on a television documentary that had already graduated from high school, and was in college.
This was amazing in itself, but what struck me most about this boy was his good looks, he was beautiful, which is unusual for these brainy types, and his walk. It is difficult to describe his walk but in walking up to the podium to collect his diploma, this little guy strode, marched, walked like a grown-up. There was nothing childish about him. You expect a nine-year-old to walk like a kid. Not this kid. He walked like an adult. It immediately occurred to me this kid had total awareness. He was totally aware of everything going on around him... including the way he walked.
When this kid gets married you can bet he will know why he is doing it.

(23.) Enlightenment

Enlightenment has a religious overtone. Usually when someone is said to be enlightened he is believed to have gained knowledge of a personal nature with god. In the Yoga discipline, someone who is enlightened has found there is no god. The word yoga means "yoke" and to attain yoga, or the yoke, one has become yoked with god. A true guru, or one qualified to teach, in the discipline becomes yoked with god when he attains the mystical realization that he is god. The expression, "Thou art that," means that one is the same as anything he looks at. One is one with the universe, and since the usual conclusion is that god is the universe, or the universe is god, and you are a part of the universe, you are, therefore, a part of the universe, and since the universe cannot be segmented, then you are god. God manifested himself as man in order to observe and study himself.
Mirrors that big hadn't yet been invented.
This is a good hypothesis except for one thing: the universe is the universe not matter what you call it, and calling the universe god does not make it god. People who unequivocally will not give up god wind up accepting that the universe is god. Others say love is god. Goodness is god. There are a million different things to which the appellation god can be applied, but the end result is, there is no god no matter how much mental masturbation you indulge in. I have said it before and I will say it again, god, as we understand him/her/it, does not exist, and if he does, then he might as well not.
Do I say this because that's the way I want it to be? Absolutely not. I would like an old man with a long grey beard up there looking after me as much as anyone wants it. But I am not foolish enough to believe something exists simply because I want it to. OK?

(24.) Prayer - the great P

Does prayer work? Yes. Does god answer prayers? No. If god does not answer prayer, how do prayers get answered. Good question. It is not entirely clear to me, but it does seem to be clear to a lot of other people. They teach that creating something in the mind, creates it in the universe. I know this is a possibility. The universe is infinite both in macro (large) and micro (small). That means it goes on forever, without end. So something can be infinitely small, so small in fact that thoughts can me mini-universes. And totally physical. So the thought process is not an abstract thing, thoughts are not just ideas, the are real, physical entities, that have weight and mass just like a rock, or any other material thing. The fact that we haven't scales tiny enough to measure them, nor microscopes strong enough to view them, changes nothing. The idea that every idea is created in solid form somewhere in the universe, makes sense, to me, and to a lot of other people who are not dummies. And that is the way prayers are answered. We create whatever we want in our minds, and eventually they, the thoughts, come back to us and hit us in the face, good, bad, or indifferent. The concept of something being infinitely small is not new. Scientists say the big bang was something infinitely small that exploded. And the universe will eventually return to something infinitely small after it stops expanding and starts shrinking. Makes sense to me.

(25) Social Creatures - socially created entities.

This is a difficult concept to explain, and even more difficult to understand, but, in my opinion, it is worth the effort put forth in studying the ideology because it makes one a stronger individual to know his own true nature.
There are two kinds of people. The kind that goes his own way, does his own thing, and doesn't give a hoot about what others think. This is the free thinking individual who often winds up in the loony bin because others cannot understand him and therefore think he is nuts. He is often charismatic, and a leader and often heads up a cult which he himself set in motion. In some cases he may be a madman, in other cases he may be a genius which we ordinary folk simply cannot fathom - at least, he is so smart his ideas cannot be easily understood. He appeals to followers who worship and adore him, because they love him, not because they understand him nor his philosophies. It has been said that the line separating a genius and a madman is a very fine line. I suspect this is not true. We tend to categorize everyone who is a bit smarter than ourselves as nuts, or crazy, (this is in addition to the things we don't like) and the actual fact may be that we are just simply too dumb to understand the individual, or we are too lazy to put forth the effort required to reach the "madman's" level.
I never had any trouble understanding Hitler's ideas, but everybody else called him a madman. I know that a madman babbles, but since I cannot understand the German language, I never knew if Hitler was babbling or not.
I understood the ideas he put forth, and while I may or may not have agreed with some or all of them, I could certainly understand them. The idea of killing all the Jews was understandable in view of all the murders the Jews themselves committed. As we pointed out in another chapter, the Jews completely annihilated an entire race of people, the penis-worshippers - a religion that reached around the entire world, at that time. The Jews wiped out the religion by murdering them. Genocide. And are continuing to murder them to this day. Compared to the murders committed by the Jews down through the centuries, the few Jews wiped out in the holocaust was paltry. I am not saying this was right nor wrong, it is not for me to say. But I do say the Germans were not that far off base.
And Hitler, while not exactly politically correct, and whether he personally was behind the attempted genocide, was not difficult to understand. Yet he went down in history as a lunatic. I don't agree.
This describes the individuals who do not think along conventional lines.
The individuals who do think along conventional lines, I call SME's or socially manufactured entities. They are the people who are created, actually created, by society. It would take volumes to describe all the things they do, but suffice it to say they do all the things society tells them to do, and wants them to do, and they have no wills of their own. Perhaps an example might help.
A boy is born, and he soon learns from his associates and classmates that he is supposed to like girls. So he does. He is supposed to chase after them. So he does. He is supposed to marry one. So he does. He is supposed to father children. So he does. He is supposed to work and support, rear and cherish the children. So he does. Then one day, lo and behold, he finds his not happy. He is, on the contrary, quite unhappy. He has a nagging suspicion in the back of his mind that all is not well. He has caught himself checking out the men he knows. He even checks out the bulge in their crotches If he sees an extraordinarily large bulge, he has a strange feeling of jealousy and envy, in addition to longing and admiration. In his dreams he fantasizes kissing and fondling this enormous organ. Finally he can stand it no longer so he seeks out the services of a therapist. After many years of therapy and thousands of dollars in expenses, he comes to the conclusion that the therapist suspected from the beginning, he is gay. Worse, he has been all his life. Even when a child he schemed on other boys with huge bulges. But he never admitted these thoughts and feelings. It was not proper. He was too busy doing all the things he was supposed to do. This is the perfect example of the SME. This person was a totally manufactured entity. A zombie, if you will.
Many men go through life this way. All the way through life, and never find out their true nature. In fact, they don't have a true nature. They are manufactured by society.
These people are the closet homosexuals that hate fags, and denigrate them, and vilify them, and never realize they themselves are homosexuals. This is the definition of homophobic.
Of course, the average SME is not this extreme. There are lesser participants.
Women are awfully bad about falling into the category of being SME's. They are more gullible than men. And, as a result, if someone in a white shirt and tie tells them something, whether it's a truth or a lie, the women believe it. For example, when the black man was glorified by our bleeding heart government as being just as good, equal in every way, to white people, the women broke their necks marrying the nearest black man. It was politically correct. It's what society wanted them to do. It was proper, and eventually, even chic. But as the years wore on and they came to realize they black men were only marrying them to have a punching bag, and the black men found out the white "bitches" were only trying to be "proper" and politically correct, chic and stylish and many of the women wanted, yes, actually wanted to get their butts kicked (women by nature are masochistic) the fad eventually waned. Fewer and fewer white women wanted to get themselves battered and thrashed to within inches of their lives, and the black men grew more and more to realize the white bitches were no prize, but actually dogs the white men didn't want, it became less and less stylish for mixed couples to appear on the scene. Today, few black men consider it an honor to be tied up with a white woman. The black men finally found out what homosexuals have known for a dozen millennium: you have not caught the brass ring when you snag a woman. You may think you have, but this is a little game men play with themselves. They tell themselves that they have won a prize, but it doesn't take long at all to find out how wrong they were. Of course, the reverse is true also. The women want a big, strong, tough man to protect them (so they can be as bitchy as they pleased and not get the crap kicked out of them? , but they soon find out the big tough man is just as tough with them as they are with other men. In fact, the tough guys usually turn tail and run when confronted with a real tough guy, and sometimes the other guy needn't be all that tough. So the tough "protector" winds up thumping on his wife and the wife says, "Hey! You are supposed to protect me from other men. You are not supposed to beat the crap out of me."
"Shut up bitch. If I want any ship out you, I'll kick it out of you."

But the women are too busy being "politically correct" (This phenomenon was discussed in another article in which it was advanced that women are so proud of the fact that they have learned something they never bother to question if it is correct, valid, or accurate, or true. to think of the possibility that black men are not white men with darker skin as our bleeding heart government would have them believe, but are males from a totally different and possibly even alien culture. This much is certain, black men are not white men with a tan.

In another article I dealt with this subject by calling these SME's holomen and holowomen, the "holo" from the word hologram.
The polemics did not receive rave reviews, and I suspect it was because that 1% of the readers knew not what a hologram was. But in order to make this theme a little more clear, I'd like to take a moment to explain what a hologram is. The image you see on a movie screen is a two dimensional picture. That is, it has width and height, only. If you look at a real person, that is a three-dimensional image in that the image has width, height and depth. If you have two good eyes, you can see around the image slightly. A person with only one eye can see only in two dimensions, for that reason they cannot tell how far away an object is. A person with two good eyes sees a ball; a one-eyed man sees only a disc.
People who fiddle around with optics and movie projectors have invented a method of projecting an image in three dimensions. They take three or more projectors, focus the light at a point in mid air, and a three dimensional image appears. If you looked at the image, it would appear to be a real person, or whatever. If you walked around the image, you could see the person's backside. If you touched the image, your hand would go right through it. It would be like touching smoke.
Even though these images look like real people, they are not people at all, but "phantasms" or ghosts, for lack of a better word.
And that is what a SME is: someone who looks like a real person, but is isn't. On the surface, they appear to be normal, but underneath they are empty. The have no depth. Forrest Gump is a good example, if somewhat extreme. I had the dubious pleasure of knowing a Forrest Gump, and had the misfortune of watching this man stumble on through life and succeed beyond belief. He was somewhat good looking, charming, endearing, clean, neat, and always meticulously well dressed and could carry on a conversation with anybody, and most would see him as intelligent. Under this attractive cover the poor man was a vacuum. No education, no intelligence, no depth. I suspect he was exactly what most women would call a prize catch.
When he retired he gave away 19 suits to the Salvation Army. He always made it a point to look good. And it carried him right to the top. Did he dress and look good for this reason? Not at all. He did it because his Momma had taught him that way. Even as a child. He was a tenth-grade drop out. Just couldn't hack the hard work. Yet joined the military, rose to the top, retired, took another job as a salesman and rose to the top again, and now is successful and rich with an income too large to spend, and still being politically correct by doing all the things "rich men are supposed to do."
He credits all this success to his wife. He knew he was too dumb to make it, so he married and let his wife be the co-pilot and direct his life.
The question that comes to my mind is, if this woman is so brilliant why would she tie herself to a retard for life? What did this man have that so attracted her? I knew the man real well, and I know he had nothing to offer any woman except moderate good looks. Could she have been retarded , too? Did the two halves make a whole? Who knows. I don't. So we have to conclude that being a SME isn't necessarily bad, but why live a life in which you know absolutely nothing about what it is going on, or what it's all about?

(26) Mad, angry, crazy, insane

Black people do not use the word, mad or angry.
Instead, they use the word crazy. The first time I heard this expression, I thought the man was stupid. "My wife makes me crazy."
Didn't this dummy know the difference between crazy and angry? Turns out, I was the dummy. I discovered that angry, mad, etc., means crazy, insane, out of one's mind. The term madman means exactly that - the man is angry. Mad as we use the word in street talk. "You make me mad" is exactly the same thing as saying "You make me crazy." A madman is a crazy man is an angry man. When people go mad, they, in fact, are angry.
Anger is a form of insanity. Extreme anger is extreme madness, or insanity. I once read of a psychiatrist who worked in a mental institution and had a unique treatment style: he would walk through the day room every morning and ask the patients, "What are you angry about?" Apparently this doctor was ahead of his time. But he knew something the rest of us didn't know: the insane were there because they were angry! That is insanity. As an aside, why were the patients angry? Unless some physiological problem existed, they were angry because their religion had put a burden on them with which they could not cope. A good example is a gay youth who cannot control his sexual urgers, yet cannot bring these problems into line with his religious teachings. The church tells one to give up sex, the human body makes this impossible. This conflict has driven many to insanity, even suicide, even murder. The youth who followed a seven-year-old-girl into the lady's restroom in a Nevada casino, raped and murdered the child is a perfect example. The boy tried to live up to the church's ideologies of abstaining from sex. He tried.
And it was impossible, of course.
The end result was, as it always is, it drove him insane. His young body was so powerful in the area of sex that he had to have relief. No way can a human being deny his sex drive. The desire for sex was so powerful in this boy that it affected his mind. His mind told him it was okay to take this little girl. So he did. And another murder is chalked up to the Christian Church.

(27) Total unawareness

I recently met a youth of some twenty-two years. This boy was totally consumed by religion. I hadn't been in his presence two hours before he began pontificating about god, his savior, Jesus, hell, heaven, sin, damnation, and how he would pray that I would be "saved,"
"Saved from what?" I asked him, just to pull his chain.
"Saved from your sins," he pontificated.
"I am seventy years old," I told him. "I lead a completely sinless life. But it's not my fault." (This infuriates the bible thumpers.)
Anyway, the arrogance of this punk infuriated me. But it should not because he is normal. Everybody who ever read one page in the bible, or even one paragraph, or even one sentence of a sudden becomes an authority. Just as a female human being, upon giving birth, immediately become omniscient in all matters, "I am a mommy. I know everything. I am the ultimate authority."
This may be one of the great stumbling blocks of this culture, the total matriarchy. The worst part of this scenario is that men plug into this insanity. They honestly believe their mother is the only one in the entire universe that knows anything. This harebrained illness is transferred to their wives once they marry. (Further proof men marry their mothers.) If men did not grow up thinking the females of the species were/are hallowed , this culture might be centuries ahead of its present predicament.
This boy had the effrontery to tell me there was no reason anyone should pay any attention to anything I say. I didn't challenge his thinking because modesty prevented. Then, I started thinking. Perhaps he's right. How can I tell people that I have read books that were so deep the average person could not get past the title?
And it occurred to me: this is one of the reasons so many people are not aware - they are totally unaware. All of the good books in the world, all of the good knowledge, is contained in books that use academic language. It is usually a case of college professors writing books for college professors. The average person cannot get past the title, much less the first paragraph. Whether this is intentional.. I got past this stumbling block because I am a good reader. The average person cannot read these books, doesn't want to read these books, and doesn't have any desire to read the books nor acquire the knowledge contained therein. Sad as it may be, the average man doesn't want to know anything .
Why should he? He doesn't need to know anything. His wife knows everything.
I once read a classified ad: For Sale, complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Don't need them. My wife knows everything.
This is my claim to fame: I am a good reader, I have a vocabulary that serves, I have the curiosity of a cat and I have devoted decades to studying, researching and thinking. Perhaps if I had married I could have avoided all this. My wife would have gained all the knowledge in the universe with her first birth. And I could have spent my entire life watching baseball, football, basketball, etc., etc., - indulging in all the really important things in life to which other men devote their lives.

(26.) ...to a thinking man...

To a feeling man, life is tragic.
To a thinking man, life is comic.

This concept is pretty much self explanatory. The two things that stand out are: All women are "feeling" men, therefore; all women must view the world, life, as tragic. Women never ask each other, "What do you think of such and such?" Instead, they ask, "What do you feel about such and such?" Therapists have stolen this expression, working on the belief that there are no thughts, only "feelings." And it is interesting to note that almost all therapists are women. What is really comical in group therapy sessions in which there are men, and the women therapists try to project themselves into the men. One of the most comical I ever witnessed was a woman telling a man he could control his sex drive "if he wanted to." In other words, he needed only a stronger will power, and his sex drive would be under control. This is totally preposterous for two reasons: the woman was trying to project herself into the man, (no woman has ever experienced the sex drive of a man just as no man has every experienced the feeling of motherhood) and, no man can control his sex drive. The sex drive controls the man, not the other way around. I have pointed out elsewhere that any man who can control his sex drive, had no sex drive to begin with. A few of the emasculated effete SME's who allow themselves to be dragged to church every Sunday may control their sex drives, but I do not recognize these females with penes as men. To me this is totally comical. Another thing I regard as comical is the idiot who donated $2 million to build luxury hotels throughout the land for dogs. It is hard to conceive anyone who has the brains to accumulate $2 million by whatever means, would be dumb enough to spend it on dogs. Especially in view of the number of starving children throughout the world. These dogs should be butchered and fed to the starving children. I understand some 4,000 children starve to death every day in Africa. These children are so hungry they would eat the droppings of the dogs. Imagine how a baked dog would taste. In most of the world the populace eats dogs. In China you may enter a restaurant and select your meal from one of the cages that lines the establishment. But what do we do with our dogs in this country?
We dispatch them to heaven, then burn them. We would never think of butchering our darlings. Let the children starve. I have always wondered, if the dogs go to heaven, do they still poop on the golden streets?
We thinking men have macabre sense of humor. For example, do angels have sex? If so, how much do they ejaculate? How often? Since they are in heaven, they ought to be able to ejaculate as much and as often as they choose. Do the little girl angels get pregnant? At what age do angels enter puberty? Are there any gay angels?
The rabbis of the Jewish church argued the question, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" for three hundred years. I doubt they ever settled the question.
Can you possibly imagine men this dumb being in control of your life?
I can't.
We thinking men are totally insane. We don't have much to think ab out.
