"He thought of the things that had happened" A truss is a pinned joint that can rotate but not take force in the member itself; steel is martensitic when...Positronium is typically thought of forming due to band structure & lack of available electrons & in metals is due to heat..."

I'm not asking, I'm just saying I'm super passionate about one thing, and want to get into two others

I read Michael's storyline, maybe I feel my storyline can never be mine. I said "yes" to something that can never be taken back. That I am HR the 1#st, and John God exists.

or God, as it may or and I can not emphasize enough may not be. What is it? It's your conception of the collective consciousness if it existed at your moment in time, or your reflection or projection of it. Does it line up with you? Yes/no? WHY? Now we are in the realm of religion and only art can tell

That's interesting you think Rand loved her life so she created her work. To make a right angle turn: Sometimes one has to change their identity to recognize & realize YOU DO ACTUALLY LOVE YOUR WORK & there IS an element of tradition in it-Promethius of course existed. But Promethius was a being too. I have this joke Promethius' best friend was Love...and I'd have to go through my texts to find the end of the joke. So what I just realized I was looking for was the fountainhead: what thing that can be shared but is spiritual has been crowded around by men that i have been carried away from?

Wrong questions. (AH, not Brant.)
Galt and Roark are characters in two different novels.
They can neither love nor hate anything.
Their creator, Ayn Rand, loved her life and expressed it by creating them as characters in stories.
In the fictional worlds she created, they, as fictional characters, loved their lives as part of the stories. But outside of those stories, out here in real life, they do not inhabit the same world we live in.
They themselves are not real people. So they cannot act. They cannot love. They cannot hate. They are not agents. We are agents. We can act and love and hate.
Their fictional actions and fictional emotions are forever frozen as part of the stories Rand told. They can never change. Nor can they ever change their hearts or minds. We can do both.
They are figments of Rand's imagination communicated through art (storytelling in this case) so they become figments of our imaginations.
That's how art works.
The real question is do you love these figments of imagination and their fictional work and fictional lives? If so, why?
Another really good question is what are you going to do with those figments of imagination?
Pretend they are real people?
Michael
Thanks

That's the same question as "Did Roark LOVE his life?"

Thank you for the support you maybe didn't even try to give in a hard time

even if we're not REALLY competing, I want to go to a bazaar where everyone is selling art, ideas, inventions, scientific knowledge. I think I don't ever want to collaborate unless it's a cumbersome project. I got my plug today and now all my work's set up for many months to come; it doesn't make me sad, it's fear of pleasure-like Dominique except inverted. Like I was working and I knew I could finish my goal if my life depended on it but it was like fizzled out ehh.

no regrets. or how John puts it: have P.R.I.D.E.

Mach proved Time-Force Universe.Gonna make sense because the only thing that we don't see is a true vacuum which means that our brains are actually interpreting things Invertedly So movement is actually non movement But spin is an actual phenomenon And qualities are actual phenomenon But logic states that the universe is actually a mesh Upon which each spot There is a well and at the top of the well is the interacting particle.What that means is we have to use 3 tools You use subjectivity You use your senses And you use absolute reality Time force Implies that time is the independent variable So things have an absolute nature this predicts the double slit and single slit experiments This predicts Phonon's going through a vacuum This is based on the metaphysics the thing we don't see is a vacuum So we are a vacuum But based on observation and delineation from that space and time are Inverted And it is our brain which is doing the inversion. So free will exists.
Sorry I'm typing this on a tablet I'm going to be doing investigations into this I've already come up with an experiment

too much to read before I grab my synthetic organic chem book!!! sometimes I look (aka masturbate) at escorts online after I spend all my money on virtue and think "I could have had Anal Sex with YOU!?"!

It is your DUTY to be a happy, successful, healthy, & the strongest you can be man. It's not a sin to commit suicide, a rotting corpse isn't an issue which renders healthy & strongest obsolete. The point of this message is: LOVE is created when you see a person who is happy. You cannot love suffering, you want to see it die.(NOT WATCH IT!). But remember that I could say I am less well-off than you! just kidding. I also wanted to say that using force is the only sin. If a man is going to burn down a forest that could be used for timber for the hell of it, by all means threaten him (but don't get caught).

I'm still wondering what work you were talking about.
J
Music, Physics, Architecture, other forms of art.
You see, I've been enslaved. I don't know how to get out of it.
I've been doing good work, but I don't let myself think beyond the range of the moment; I mostly peruse the internet and when I stumble across something I work on it. Or send privately the music I'm working on. My confidence may be broken in the musical aspect. I've got 6 physics books I need to read and probably 18 after that. But the thought of working when I can never achieve totally gets in my way profanely.
This is a work in progress of a work in progress: -
hey i thought sum1 could get sumfat out it
-
think about it

I've chosen the work I want to do and the way I'll have to do it. I love my work, it is my pride & joy. And for some reason I'm crying right now because the word that describes it is "Sanctity". I'm scared, I now see, that man's evolution isn't going to give me enough work this way; so I draw it out. I want to rape my work. But the missing/desired/unexpressed I guess is that I'll never win. WIN TO LIVE MY LIFE FOR MY LOVE OF IT, NOT FOR OTHERS, OR OTHERS FOR I. I guess this had to be said. Everyone who wants to live in their own capacity give your warcry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe this doesn't work...it's still unexpressed
i guess this is metaphysics. As you feel pain/pleasure, happiness/sadness, & physical pleasure in response to things & you can choose the positives to not feel, and the negatives to feel. What is the driving force behind free will? I have never believed in god. But man's clash with nature, that's the most heroic battle ever told. There are no contradictions such as man choose. So maybe it's the slimers living the easy road that we should have had which destroys me. I will win. I will destroy peter keating, wesley mouch, the zero(sum)my childhood best friend, a prime mover said, a parasite does not have consciousness.
So now to the title: you may have heard the term "egodeath". I am now defining it: I have felt the total nonexistence. I have felt lesser forms. DO NOT EVER LET THEM THINK YOU ARE BEING ROBBED, BEING CHASED, BEING TORTURED, WATCHING A FIRING SQUAD, OR THE GUILLOTINE.
In my tribute to Rand I will say: I have felt all physicals pains. They are NOTHING to the torture of the altruist-collective. -
I would, if you give man a full education they act on full virtue. To learn that the materials they chose could have ~become a particle accelerator instead of a massive battery imo is one of the moralest things one can do.

What's better: listening to a handful of perfect songs over & over OR listening to crudtunes just to hear something new?
I'd say the handful is better -

You know what destroyed me: Eckhart Tolle.
He says everything is nothing, nothing is everything. He planted the seeds for an orgy against the question "Good, by what standard?"
He set up a stooge who offers poison mixed with the same poison's cure.
In the Wake of Achievement (Ethics)
in 3 - Ethics
Posted
I propose a theory of the achievement ethics (for lack of better term):
When you come up with an idea; do the following: 1.Ascribe your personal awesomeness in a fantastical metaphor or equivilate it to an achievement of a great mind...
Congratulate yourself for the achievement, reward yourself for the achievement. Do #1 again for the ills is will change in the world, maybe even show how this is a stepping stone to greater achievement. 4. Tell someone about your achievement (if you want) and include all of the ^relevant egoic responses to it.
