I’m seeing frustrated people with unmet desires continue to call other people dumb.
Reminder, intelligence is the ability to actualize and fulfill your desires.
Any other definition of intelligence is cope.
I don't think stupidity is the main problem for most bad posters. There are a couple of people here who are dumb by the standards of the general public, but not many.
Is this response supposed to be an argument for why your definition of intelligence is superior to the dictionary definition?
It’s a claim.
Society can only offer meanings and definitions for those who stay within the bounds of the social, but the shared social reality only has access to a part of what capital ‘R’ Reality can offer.
Intelligence is ambitious and attuned to desire, so it will seek beyond the social boundaries.
Of course, intelligence which transcends the social will not fit into society’s definition of ‘intelligence’.

You sound like my ex gf who really liked rocks and hallucinogenics
The first step is to identify with intelligence, but soon after this, your mind will try to convince you that you’re already sufficiently intelligent when you’re really not. It does this in order to prevent you from following intelligence on the intelligence journey.
This is why the only way to truly become intelligent is to de-identify with intelligence (after first identifying with it), so you are free to follow it on the journey.
IQ is correlated with intelligence, but they are not the same. People who equate their IQ to intelligence are the people who are being manipulated by their mind so as to avoid the intelligence journey.

The bounds of the social are marked by chasms, not ropes. Ropes can be cut or elegantly fashioned into bridges that traverse the chasm. But the chasm cannot be leapt over as a stream. It must be transcended in order to be traversed. In this way, ropes can be thought of as essential to transcendence. But not if the ropes are viewed as bindings, either to the social reality or within the social reality. The rope has no true nature. It desires to be a bridge as much as a barrier, not because the rope is intelligent but rather because it yearns for actualization, or more precisely, to be actualized.
It's portmanteau, not portmandeu. No one calls anyone Gazzy here. Getting small things wrong is no big deal unless you're aggressively wrong at the same time, rick.
we literally have a gary here that goes by gazzy online
figured you were some arabic fella who's parents gave the english name fred and you wanted to jazz it up for your online name - which again, is far less of a stretch than an homage to a 6th tier curry which you oddly insist is nepalese
In my opinion, that's not a fair summary on chillrob's view. It's not so much the "belief system" he hates, it's the bad things that he thinks religious folks are doing that he has a problem with.
Honestly it's both. I know many religious people are fine and good, but I think they could be without religion.
"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion."

I wish there were no mass-shootings, but if they're going to happen then a church is far better than a school or other public place.
Yeah, because at least you get a "kick" out of the mass shootings in churches, unlike the shootings at movie theaters or concerts. The Charleston church shooting in 2015 must have had you in stitches.
Chillrob is in the Batman story, and in that story, if you refuse to identify with Batman, then you will gradually become the Joker.
There is no third option.
The place you’re at is more dire than you are admitting to yourself. An appropriate level of fear is required. This is coming from someone who has been there.
It’s like the Joker said in The Dark Knight, all it may take is a little push under the right circumstances.
You didn't give a reason why mass shootings in churches amuse you. You just said that you preferred for mass shooting to occur in churches rather than other public places.
It’s not rational. Asking for a reason might get you a rationalization, but it’s not going to resolve the issue.
Violence is ontological, which means it’s embedded deeper in humanity than nature.
