  1. You gotta get beyond these words friend.
  2. Every artistry requires a certain level of discipline.
  3. Okay. Don't appreciate me too much. That is not my desire. I want people to find their own path.
  4. What is with your recent usage of the lower case i? I enjoy you on here.
  5. I'm not worried about who comes in first or second. You might be, so I would look into that.
  6. Okay.
  7. I don't think so. But nice conversion.
  8. Pick up on the vibe of the people you interface with too. Someone might be beautiful but have a quality to their personality that is a red flag. They might be mean or selfish.

  11. Leo got me thinking of the pre-rational, rational, and post-rational distinction so I have that top of mind right now.
  12. It is only paradoxical in a rationalist paradigm.
  13. It is interesting to frame in language. The paradox between the creation of me and the creator of me.

    I like the "post-rationalist" concept and I find that it really gets beyond a lot of issues, but you have to see the limitations of rationalism to get at it too. But you never transcend the rationalist point of view entirely -- You build upon it.
  17. I understand. Death of the body is scary.
  18. That sounds right. This is a tricky subject for me. The no one is doing anything but I am doing everything paradox.
  19. I get this. But you seem to have a very important point to make and I'm never sure what that is.
  20. Can you explain to me what I am missing that you are trying to point out.
  21. Have you surrendered?
  22. And your belief.
  23. You're not getting it.
  24. Realize his job as a dating coach is to try to help young men approach women, and he is successful at it. That is a very unique niche.
  25. Belief is deep. But I'm also creating this now. And not even too.
