"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It's amazing the amount a person can change in only a few years. I still believe in the majority of the original post, with the exception of the ending., yet I am glad I have had years of learning and experience after reading my very immature replies to the contradicting arguments.

I would still rebuff the fallacy argument, primarily because right and wrong is the Justice system's measurement of sanity. Regarding such an intangible concept, how much better of a definition could possibly be made?

To the Egoist's argument: You may be surprised, I agree with Egoism. Altruism as a philosophy In my opinion is not a totally valid premise. Simply stated, to give also means to get. Some cultures regard gifts as impolite because they transfer a debt, whether it be tangible or intangible.

Thanks for the arguments fellas.

The eternal problem is:

In order to further grow in knowledge, power and personality, you have to have a certain humility.

This, however, apart from the fools using this as an excuse for beeing a pvssy, seems contradictory with appearing as a strong "alpha" man with unshakable frame.

DOUBT about your views is provoking fear of weakness, but still it is the prerequisite for growth, and thus for strength.

Of course you can stop at one point and be satisfied, even proud of yourself, and use your well-developped alpha-show. But this is not what truly makes a man.

what the fcuk is this, The Republic? Justice/right and wrong?

In any case, excellent post Jester. The "alpha-male" junk is nice when you're still in super ACF mode, but once you've read it all, done the hw (practice), you begin to see how corny it is.

Thank you again for the wake up post. :up:
