Is it wrong to emphasize how much smarter you are than others?

Being a thinker is cool in a lot of circles. Maybe you like calling yourself a thinker because it makes you feel so unlike the "idiots" that you desperately don't want to be like.

I think the only people that really fall for the media's image of the lazy rebel are teenagers. Adults are into the idea of the successful businessman.

 

see, I know I am. I know a lot of people think I am bullshitting, but, I also know, that odds on (and I really do mean that statistics DO support me) I am probably smarter than they are.

I have a few more crossed wires, I have a brain that works VERY differently from normal and I have a different perspective from what I am supposed to have with the information, information gathering capability, and connection capacity I have.

don't care.

 

pressed rat is pretty smart...i like sum of his posts..:cheers2:

 

he doesn't need to respect their opinion. the use/matter is exactly that it is a tool to get what he wants.

he doesn't necessarily want their approval for his own self image, but he does want their approval.

 

Yes, it is cool among pseudo-intellectuals.

I don't consider myself an intellectual, pseudo or otherwise.

There are plenty of wannabe thinkers who can regurgitate what they read in a textbook or heard the night before on the 6 o'clock news. Those who think outside the box are usually marginalized as kooks and nutcases.

 

did you ever consider that you're getting marginalized because you're starting to act borderline schizophrenic?

 

I dont think so, but sometimes it can be expressed in a bitter way which does drip with insecurity.

 

Lately, you seem to fit that category more so than I. At least I can maintain a relatively stable mood and consistent demeanor.

Besides, how exactly does a "borderline schizophrenic" act, and how would one be able to tell through a person's writing on an online forum?

I could say you're a bitter loner who's pissed off because he cannot live a normal life and lives at home with mom. But of course I don't know you personally, nor have I met you, so I cannot say with any certainty if that's true.

 

see... I consider myself somewhat intelligent, and somewhat apathetic. What does that make me?

I don't hate on smart people.. or even people who think they are smart.. I just have joined the camp of -- I don't care enough to give my opinion most of the time.... even if I think it's intelligent, and also valid.

 

delusional.

it's interesting how your second paragraph is not consistent with your first.

it's also interesting how most of your conspiracy theories suggest an incredibly inconsistent planning and organization, within this massive unbelievably well organized conspiracy you are trying to convince us of, how they follow incredibly specific rules with gold tassels, and fasci, but then plan to lock us all up like cows and then do brutal mass murderings

one is a lawful evil (as described by an incredibly nerdy system) and the other is chaotic evil, like stalin.

it doesn't care how things are done, so long as they happen, and, there are a thousand different little snowflakes of personalities you've suggested over the years, and every year, new ideas, and old, clearly wrong ideas, are swept under the rug, disappeared like a character on X-files who knew too much

it's god damned ridiculous, you do research from people who are absurd and make shit up, I mean, seriously, there are people who think burning jet fuel can't melt poured steel, and that's a reason the world trade center couldn't have fallen, that's absurd

that's why engine parts have to be crystallized, which costs a LOT of money for GE, rolls royce, etc.

looking up faerie tales and paranoid men in their basements delusions isn't research, it's no more serious than pulling info off the AP and calling it research

it's just a different set of absurd crooked sources trying to leach a buck from an audience they've managed to manipulate into giving them a profit margin.

gee, I could say the same about you.

 

But, see Dave, you're just making blanket accusations based only on what you THINK you know about me. How do you know where my research comes from or what sources I use?

And it's easy to dupe a dumbed-down public when you control the media and the education system and virtually every source of information, aside from certain books and the internet (one of the reasons they're working to clamp down on it). Most of my research comes not from "conspiracy" websites, but from many of the people involved with the agenda, who have written openly about it.

Clearly everything I have been talking about for the past 10 years is becoming more and more a reality everyday. It's only a conspiracy theory if you've been living with your head buried up your ass. There has to be a reason so many people are waking up, and I doubt it's because they're all deluded schitzos. Most people who are relatively conscious and awake can sense something is happening, and it goes a lot higher than that fucking puppet Barack Obama.

 

I was under the impression that the internet 'clamp down' was a savvy business decision for too-big-for-their-britches global corporations

 

i love you face.

 

Oh, and Dave, even proponents of the OFFICIAL 9/11 story admit that the fires were not hot enough to actually melt the steel, as you just claimed above.

 

the thing is, no one is as organized as you pretend they are.

people act for their own best interests, and most of them will betray each other at the first sign of trouble, and you think it's this massive brotherhood, that's bound by blood or something which sounds only marginally less absurd than that lizard guy.

and, you claim media is owned, but then you say these people have been writing openly

well, there aren't that many ISP's in the world who can provide the bandwidth for webhosting, and they are only owned by a few companies

if it were a conspiracy, those guys would probably be shut down too.

 

That might be part of it, but if you look at some of the recent legislation put forward in the states, they are talking of making it so that you will need an actual license just to have your own website. They plan on gradually phasing out the current internet and bringing in what some have called "internet 2," which will be a heavily-taxed and regulated internet that is very different from the current one.

 

I want to see

1. their engineering credibility
2. where they said it
3. proof that they weren't just stupidasses talking out of their ass

because jet fuel DOES burn hot enough to melt steel that was a HUGE problem in turbine engine development.

it's you know, fixed now, but, there were real problems.

 

The media is owned. Five corporations own all the media in this country: Time-Warner, News Corporation (FOX), Viacom, Disney and General Electric (NBC).

Nobody, certainly not me, has ever said that there aren't power struggles within the ranks. Of course there are. However, they are still united by one common goal and are bound together by oaths, money, and, yes, blood. Most of them would not dare step out of line and risk their own cowardly lives.

The fact that this agenda can be traced back generations is proof that they can in fact be THAT organized.

 

Well, then maybe you need to crack open a book and do some research.

Jet fuel is simply kerosene. If kerosene burns hot enough to melt steel, then the kerosene heater at my parents' cottage would probably have melted by now.

And even if jet fuel could melt steel, most of the jet fuel was burnt off upon the planes' impact with the towers.

I am sick of debating 9/11 with people. It's old news.

 

i was an aircraft mechanic in the air force and know jet fuel is a mixture of kerosene and gasoline. basically.
