A tale of three philosophies

[Devintems]

Two philosophies going toe to toe in my head. Both are equally rational, level headed, convincing, and sportsmanlike. A third philosophy listens impartially. He makes comments and points out strengths and weaknesses of each side, but remains biased.

The first two reach an impasse. Neither has disproven the other one. Meekly, they ask the third to settle the matter.

Third philosophy shrugs and says, "Do what thou wilt."

In the real world, first two may continue with their beliefs and simply ignore each other. But this is within my singular mind. The conflict creates hesitation, insecurity, and cognitive dissonance. It's inhibiting my ability to function.

I need a resolution.

Am I missing something or did you not list the first two philosophies? What are they?

The third, "Do as you wilt", was the philosophy of Alistair Crowley.

Are you saying that you're trying to pick a side - a philosophy?

If so, why? Why can't you just take the 'strengths' from each, and leave the 'weakensses'. Why does it have to be one or the other?

but remains biased

did you mean un-biased here?

Yes, I meant unbiased.

Here's the dilemma. I have the desire to have women in my life. Ideally I would consider myself a humanist. As a Thelemite I theoretically value humans as divine beings. And I regard life as something to be celebrated. "Take your fill and Will of love."

The flip side is that in all my recent interactions with females, I find them obnoxious, manipulative, and unintelligent, resulting in a decline in my attraction to them. This is when I lean towards MGTOW. I admit, after being screwed over in divorce, I am somewhat paranoid towards women as well.

So in a broad sense, I want to learn game and be successful with women. But it's difficult because each and every individual interaction has been a negative one.
