Your idea of humility is a pretentious one.

It must not be pretentious enough for you judging by your posts against humility.

Go make your friends, Matthew. I'll make what I wish and those who like it will come. Whether anybody comes or not is of no concern to me.

Wouldn't making things that people like be equivalent to making friends as well? Don't you like friends? Didn't you say a few million posts back that you only take advice from friends? Isn't that worse and more insecure than open debate to everyone regardless of position, affiliation, topics etc?

News flash-- making things that no one cares about is a bad way to feed yourself.

All I mean is I make things for me and people happen to like them. Everything I make isn't unilaterally dependent on the approval of others. Sometimes I will derive more pleasure by catering to the desires of others but that isn't the only means to living a pleasurable life.

Being happy with who you are and your choices is more valuable than an open debate compromisable to the most potent whim.

News flash--slavery and servitude is not preferred either.

In short, I am a proud philistine in regards to the appearance to the means of education. I only care about the end. Rugged collectivism in an argument and discussion to notable ends leads to nothing but waste and destruction.

He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted.

-Nietzsche

I want neither exaltation nor your definition of success. I have already achieved happiness.

I don't want people to show me the way. I don't need them to hold doors for me nor close them when I have become dependent on their guidance. I will not become a servant to another's whim. It will never be a matter of who lets me do things but who is going to stop me!

I'll act on my own virtues. I'll enjoy stumbling upon knowledge on my own as man has done for the majority of civilization. To me that is the most rewarding journey.

Civilization has evolved. What you call 'getting back to roots', most educators would call counter-progressive.

I call them ducks. Most educators are not educators at all but merely rhetoricians in the art of provisioned self-esteem. I will not go to them for knowledge. I will accept things through my own understanding and refutation; not through another man's whims.

Good educators present issues and only assess a student's abilities to critically examine the issues, not their opinions on it. One thing we learn as teachers is TTT (teacher talk time). It's a style of lecture teaching and it's super easy to fall into as a teacher when you're passionate about the topic (you for example would be in TTT mode 100% of the time as a teacher no doubt), but many educators understand that STT is a better model-- it focuses on debate style learning and involving students, encouraging them to share opinions with each other, only 'teaching' how to deliver those opinions effectively, not which opinions are 'right' or 'wrong'.

I was homeschooled by an overly religious group of mental children and pressured to think the school system, government etc is all out to get me (the same way you talk). The funny thing is, despite their attempts to brainwash me, I grew up perfectly understanding the difference on my own. What's more likely Atlas, that I'm a genius, or that with commonsense any 'bad' teachers can still teach something useful?

Side-question: your teachers must be shit. I didn't go to publuc school but I can't say I've heard many good things about it.

Critical examination and the end opinion go hand-in-hand. False premises can lead to bad answers and there are bad answers in regards to unanimous human desires. Debating style is useless when you end up with a world of incomplete objectives. You will inevitably end up with a bubble of artificial reality that we see in academia today.

A world with no principles is one of only evil. In a compromise between a purported good and evil, evil will always win.

Debate is fun and all but in regards to the world we live in, I prefer sound opinions. The delivery is just flowers and pedantry.

An education shouldn't be about conformity but teaching an individual to achieve his objectives.

Yeah, I guess you're right. All those faggots at Harvard are just wasting their time arguing issues in debates based on gentlemanly rules. They should just beat each other up or name call instead! Good idea!

They are and they are just burning money in general. What they achieve is the same result of name calling; a lot like one-sided arguments on Something Awful..

They should be trying to achieve objectives that create wealth and innovation in the end instead of trying to achieve prestige through pseudo-academic papers and notoriety.

Again, debate etiquette is subjective and pedantry. Your idea of humility is a pretentious one: It's all about respecting sensibilities and stroking cocks all the way to the top of a mountain of waste and corpses.

I think you want to be recognized, and as someone with no skills you stick to what you know (the things you read) and the get rich quick schemes. I understand the fear of education and the anxiety, as well as the difficulties in believing you're not the center of the universe (it's classic aspergers stuff), but what I don't get is why you don't then try to be a jack of all trades?

I don't really have strong desires in regards to any of these matters. I just want to create value and sustain myself. I will be happy with whatever pleasures this brings me. There is really no end goal nor anxiety over the purported journey as a whole.

For a self made man you do beg strangers for money and labor quite a bit.

I think he has split-personality disorder or difficulties with jealousy possibly. How else could he attempt to get rich off an idea involving markets, development, electronics etc, and then downplay the success of others his age in doing the same thing?

What is it you want to be exactly? The next christ? A shining beacon of knowledge, truth and justice? The next unibomber? I've heard 'I'm still deciding' from you, but it doesn't take a genius to take people's conversation patterns and habitual rants and formulate a hypothesis if their intended direction. Okay, maybe it does.

I don't recall downplaying anybody. I would love to see direct evidence of me degrading people. Haha. I have complete admiration for Zhou. I feel nothing but happiness in regards to him. Well, some apathy considering Bitcoinica isn't generating much wealth at the moment and remains to be a zero-sum gambling operation.

Atlas, I agree with you on your opinions of most of the "advice" the people here give you. The only advice I'll ever give you is the following

Rebel against "growing up." It's not all it's cracked up to be. Neither are the "grownups."
If you know what you want to do with your life, stop and reconsider, because you're wrong.
Have fun and put your own needs first.

Everything else I might ever say or suggest is just a personal subjective opinion. Likewise for others' "advice."

The ISP resolves to Greenfield, Texas. It is a massive AT&T account that includes all of the wifi for Starbucks worldwide. Resolving to that is essentially worthless.

Dumb. The wifi in a Starbucks in Korea does most certainly not resolve to Texas.

I'm convinced OP is Atlas but I'm still confused as tohos sincerity. If all that's required to end this is to accept the domain as a 'gift', then so be it. My pride in all of this doesn't even matter. I'm doing this for the people who've actually worked and are working on that site to make it something interesting.

I've already e-mailed "alpha.harvy" as soon as I got banned but still no response. I'll be waiting to hear something.

A note to the community: you may not think these boards are for personal arguments, random rants or every whimsical turd that formulates in your mind, but it's all relative to perception. I look at these forums of 'very serious' conversations and see mostly turds bouncing around. I'd love to start a voting thread asking who wants me to leave or how people think I should act differently etc but it doesn't really seem to matter because at the end if the day this forum by policy allows multiple sock puppet accounts and lying about your identity. Why else would I act the way I do? Spare me the internet psychology and character mockery for a name, location and attitude that you don't even know if it's real or not.

You forgot to add "Nikki the Bitch" at the end of your post. Wink

Refresh my memory. What's the domain name that Atlas is speaking of?

Well, we all would love to think that..

But..

Reality is different my friend.

You will find things and life fall into place a bit easier when the whole world isnt against you.

When you constantly fail everyones lessons and for the most part simple advice. No one will take the time to show you anymore, and it compounds this problem you might be having, or will have in the future.

Cant help people that dont want to be helped.

Does this fit you ?

Heh. If somebody had given me great advice, I would of certainly taken it. I consider everything that is said. Unfortunately and oh-so-sadly most of it is inflated garbage coming from pretentious old men. "Oh, I have had life experience! I'll teach this at risk youth what it means to live!" And they boast and they brag about their adventures and what it means to be a man. Oh, how cock-sure they are in their words of wisdom for they have lived and suffered. To speak about it all in good light can assure it wasn't in vain. Maybe if they are able to sell me on their words can they take ownership over my success and accomplishments.

I am my own man, teflone. All of you are trying to be my parent. If I were to ever consider you my friends, you would have to assume I know what is best for myself.

I havent tried to be rude with you, but in a nutshell, all these people are bothered by your lack of thought.

We all here see something.. it bothers us. nothing to a great deal (most of us)

But we wish you would learn something, we hope you will learn something.

We get upset at how the "lessons" are wasted, or rejected for no other reason than to reject them.

Age is wisdom, and if you pride yourself on thinking your smart, then suck this stuff up like a sponge, and dont reject it as nonsense just because its old guys spitting out parental advice for no reason.

Its much more relevant than you are clearly allowing it to be.

Being the bigger man is sometimes the best and hardest thing to do - in regards of this domain drama.

Im out!. Cheers, I wish you well
