  32. [1. Introduction]
  33.  
  34. Ayn Rand is my homegirl! I also have a warped, acerbic sense of humor, and love being freaky... Because wherever I am, I must also engage in PSYOP!
  35.  
  36. Also: Is it society that is laughing at me? Or is it I who is laughing at society? And which one of them is afraid of the other one?
  37.  
  38. My astrological signs:
  39. INTJ-A, 5w4 and tritype 548 (ooh, such a special snowflake!). Also a Scorpio... :P

  49. [2. Who I am]
  50.  
  51. My self-summary:
  52. • Objectivist. And I have been one since I was 14, so you can't come with "it's just a phase, you will grow out of it!"... But then, you're probably coming with "hurr durr, dogmatist Randroid cultist!" instead, followed by some intellectually lazy, second-handed, HuffPo-tier smear! Protip: That only furthers my conviction that Ayn Rand was right, and that all her detractors are intellectually dishonest and/or vacuous!
  53. • selfish, and unashamedly so! And it obviously follows from the fact that I am an Objectivist but is stated here anyway for those who are not familiar with it... I have the total right to my own life and happiness! Anyone who claims otherwise is a moocher, looter, freeloader, parasite and other manipulative scum, and honestly deserves wholeheartedly to die in the gutter! "The world does not revolve around you!"... Except it actually does! I mean, I am moving with the Earth, so technically the Earth itself isn't revolving around me... But the Sun, the Moon, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, the nebulae, and the whole fucking Universe actually do revolve around me, by the kinematics of relative motion. So yes, the world does actually revolve around me! Fucking unenlightened plebs, uneducated in the matters of physics... :P So not only is it my moral right, but it is also the only rational thing to do! Now, I do understand the value of other people, e.g. my friends and loved ones, but they, specifically, have earned my honor, love, respect, and kindness, by their good character and by being grateful and respectful of me for who I am... Unlike the parasites, who insist on their total depravity and worthlessness! And I see no rational reason at all, whatsoever, to waste my valuable time on these excuses of human beings, either... I also do understand the long-term benefit of being a part of society, participating in trade (i.e. voluntary exchange of values), and that there is a potential value to be gained (i.e. new friends and loved ones) from being benevolent, helpful and kind to others... But that is an argument for rational egoism, not altruism! And I am not somebody else's slave, for fuck's sake!
  54. • libertarian, because no one but I know best how to run my life! And also because I loathe "sharing" with people I hate. Sharing implies consent among everyone involved; I do not want their "gifts", which are of no value to me, and they do not deserve mine, either! And all these power-hungry politicians, who are now gradually taking away our liberty, know jack-shit about me and how I should live my life! Or for that matter, millions of other people's lives... And you shouldn't let them run your life, either! Because they are just like any ordinary human being, the only difference though is that they have the arrogance, dishonesty, and depravity enough to be willing and able to dupe others into slavery. But unlike them, I have the intelligence, honesty, and decency enough to recognize and admit the fact that I don't know how to run your life. And I don't give a fuck about it, either... Because I am too busy with living my own! (Also, I was born on the 5th of November, which I find really ironic... What a coincidence, huh?)
  55. • big-picture thinker. I am a hobby-philosopher, a hobby-psychologist, and also an aspiring, brilliant crackpot-physicist! :P
  56. • introspective. Not only is introspection a great way for me to deal with all the issues in life that I may have, it also makes me more self-aware and more comfortable with who I am, and thus giving me a genuine sense of self-esteem. Introspection is a very important life skill, because those who do not practice it are slaves to their own whims, emotions and subconscious thinking, and are essentially powerless against all the external influences coming from our cultural norms and social conventions (which are then absorbed unquestioningly by mindless osmosis). Thus, they are doomed to blindly repeat and follow the motions of others. And without introspection, it is very hard to get rid of all the erroneous thinking habits that one may have developed through life. Instead, they will remain unexamined and continue to linger on and inflict emotional pain.
  57. • weird, eccentric and individualistic. Being normal must be the biggest insult ever... I mean seriously! Have you ever seen anyone get enamored of someone for being normal, like "Aaah! He is such a normal guy! With normal hair, normal job, normal life! ♥ If I ever were his normal girlfriend... ^_^"?
  58. • brutally honest, assertive, and very open about myself! People who cannot be honest with themselves, their opinions and their grievances are intellectual cowards... Or rather, intellectual pussies! And I want to fuck pussy, not speak to one! :P This kind of people, I have absolutely no respect for, and I simply just unfriend them without forewarning. I also have this habit of thinking and talking out loud, which makes people think I am crazy... Which I also actually am! :P And furthermore, if the only person that is able to make fun of you in the most honest, harshest, and most strikingly way possible is the same person as you, yourself... and you are also actually doing that constantly... how would any of your adversaries ever be able to attack you? I also stumbled upon a book called "Models: Attract Women Through Honesty" by Mark Manson, and honestly, I think that is the best way for me to achieve PUA-godhood! :P
  59. • intense. It is pretty clear now that I have strong opinions... I hope you will find them entertaining! :P
  60. • stubborn, because not only are most people fucking retarded, and also seem to emotionally cling on to their stupid opinions, they also have this predisposition to shove it on others! Thus making me stubborn... Or rather, stubbornly resistant against other people's bullshit!
  61. • just, i.e. I am a total asshole to those people who deserve it... And I don't give mercy either since it is a grave injustice against the victims! Tears and bribes are of no effect on me. Speak for your case... or drop it!
  62. • independent. I was born and grew up feeling alone, lived alone, and don't mind dying alone, either! My life is my novel, my own, special book to write... I am the author here, and I decide which characters are to be in it! But I lived well, and that is the only thing that matters to me... If the world is so wretched as to be unworthy of my love, so be it! But at least am I foolish enough to want to change the world... Or rather, human enough, filled with despair and desperately longing for someone worthy of love! It really depends on how you look at it. And because when a man does not find love, he starts to fall in love with an idea and wants to make that idea into a reality...
  63. • [high-functioning] autistic as fuck! And I have the controversial opinion that it can be "cured" by learning how to communicate better and by being more social, i.e. by incessant trolling! :P At least the "social awkwardness"-part anyway... The rest of it, the "mad, amazing, and not giving an aerodynamic fuck about what other people think"-part, I think I will gladly keep!
  64. • teetotaler. I don't need drugs or alcohol... They are for the weak-minded to indulge in, to temporarily soothe themselves from depression and from all the problems in life, instead of actually dealing with them directly! But by doing that, their psychological issues will still remain and always resurface again. And I don't feel any need for temporary, false confidence, either... I already feel confident enough! And neither do I feel any need for hallucinations... my very own warped mind is enough for me to entertain myself! :D :P
  65. • basement-dwelling virgin, who faps to 2D girls and waifus. (And aspiring, wannabe PUA, m'ladies! ;) *tips fedora*) If CIA ever decided to make that information a high-security top secret, for some goddamn reason, then I would be the first one to upload it to Wikileaks! And no, I wouldn't even sell that to the Russians, simply just for money, either!
  66.  
  67. I also noticed that a somewhat significant proportion of the members of the opposite sex seems to react to it with strong revulsion nowadays! I guess it has to do with probabilistic thinking, based on the fact that most virgins (of male kind, and of higher age than usual) probably have a deficiency in emotional intelligence, psychological health, and/or self-confidence, which is understandably unattractive... Fair enough, because I find their reaction merely just amusing! And especially when they give me this characteristic wide grin! :P I mean, we all have been virgins at some point of our lives... And some of us happen to be late bloomers! Or become like Isaac Newton.
  68.  
  69. But I really despise those bitter, virgin /r9k/-faggots, who are always bitching about "Hurr durr, Chad and Stacy... >tfw no gf"... Well, start lifting and become Chad, then! :P And they are so hypocritical, too! They are always so envious of "Chad always getting Stacy", and bitter about both of them being shallow... I mean, if you think "Stacy" is so shallow, why do you want her, then? And not non-"Stacy"? At least "Chad" and "Stacy" are being honest about themselves being shallow... while those bitter /r9k/-faggots are still as shallow, horny faggots as them, but are being in denial about it. And they also have these absurd standards on women, while themselves having nothing of value to offer! I mean, really... lacking a girlfriend is not a valid reason for having suicidal thoughts. It really just shows how much of a basic and mundane personality they have... So much that not even they, themselves, want to hang out with them... or rather, then, even on their own! Unlike me, who is so fucking awesome, and thus actually love spending my time alone! :P
  70.  
  71. But anyway, the reasons that I am still a virgin are:
  72. 1. I used to have difficulties with communication and expressing myself assertively. I think I have significantly improved on that point by now, from my experience as a volunteer at Mattecentrum, and given the fact that I have 50+ ongoing conversations on Facebook!
  73. 2. I used to feel uncomfortable trusting my emotions, which resulted in this repulsive "virgin body language"... A turning point was when I started to cold-approach girls for the first time... and unexpectedly got rejected, obviously! Or rather... I, being nervous, and my mind going completely blank, having no idea what to say or do, thereby causing a very awkward silence, and thus amusingly freaking and pussying out! :P Because paradoxically enough, that actually gave me a major confidence boost! I have, in my whole life, been afraid of approaching and being rejected by girls... for nothing! I realized that rejection is simply an answer to a question, and really nothing to be afraid of. Actually, I did not even care about the outcome, to begin with... I knew with 100% certainty that I would most certainly fail and get rejected, but I also knew that I had to get rid of my approach anxiety and start somewhere with my aspiring career as a PUA-God! :P Honestly, getting rejected was one of the best "mistakes" that ever happened to my life, because by now, I think that I have managed to get rid of most of my "virgin body language"... And my mind does not get blank anymore when talking to girls, either! :D So at least I got wiser from the experience, and have no regrets at all about it. And even though love is one of the greatest human values, wisdom is still above all... Because it is through wisdom that we will find a love that is deeply profound and transcendent, exalted above the ordinary. (I also started to listen to The Black Keys a lot, a really awesome garage and blues rock band! I find it a very good way to cope with heartbroken love. Specific songs that I would recommend from them are "Weight of Love", "Strange Desire", "The Flame", "Lonely Boy", "Next Girl", and "Little Black Submarines".)
  74. 3. I used to have unrealistic standards, where I demanded perfection in every single aspect, e.g. had this absurd expectation that she must also be a Randian... so that we could raise our future children into Übermensch Randians, to take over the world! :P But I later recognized my mistake, because by doing that, I was shutting myself off from and being unfair to people who actually deserve a chance to prove themselves that they are worthy of my love. I think the main reason for that was because of my earlier fear of exposing myself and becoming vulnerable to the wrong person, and also being afraid that I otherwise wouldn't find anyone who would be able to respect and tolerate my strong opinions... But I feel confident enough now to apply rational standards on real people!
  75.  
  76. Don't get me wrong, though... I still have high standards! The thought of having promiscuous sex, i.e. having sex with someone whom I have no deeper emotional connection with whatsoever (or by trying to fake one), fills me with a feeling of utter abhorrence! I have way too much self-respect, i.e. I love myself way too much for me to do that. Sex is one of the highest celebration of life, an experience that should only be shared with the select few who really deserve it! And not carelessly be given away as a handout to any simple, disgusting, reprehensible lowlife, even if that lowlife merely just happened to be aesthetically pleasing to look at. On the other hand, I have nothing against pre-marital sex, as long as there is an emotional connection, i.e. as a response to values and virtuous character among the people participating in it, and no deception is involved. It is the quality of sex that matters, not the quantity!
  77.  
  78. I never really cared about other people's notch count, though... It's not a competition! And I only care about whether I, myself, get sexual pleasure... Again, it is the quality of sex that matters, not the quantity! But if it's astronomically high, I would start to wonder if she really has any standards, and also what kinds of STDs she has... But on the other hand, I have deeply pondered about the potential advantages of having my dick as a biological weapon in my arsenal! :P
  79.  
  80. I also find the concept of polyamory, where everyone is seriously in love with each other in the relationship, and are honest about it, very interesting... The more I think about it, it kinda makes sense, and monogamy that seems unnatural! I mean, if you had three Lena Katinas/Ryan Goslings/ayy lmaos/whatever in front of you, why just pick only one of them? :P Or if you could clone your girlfriend/boyfriend, why wouldn't you do that? I know that I would definitely do it if I had a girlfriend! :D Love is not something static or limited, and it is definitely possible to love several people, and also for different reasons too! If you look at the love life of any (psychologically functioning) human being through its whole lifespan, you draw the conclusion that we usually fall in love several times! We are practically polyamorous and are merely just monogamous in name only. And sometimes, we get divorced or widowed and have to move on... But that does not diminish our appreciation for those experiences that we had with our loved ones! And if you look at it merely biologically, we are just here to reproduce and spread our genes. Psychologically though, we need an emotional connection, and there is the psychological harm in having indiscriminate, promiscuous sex with just about anything that has a living pulse. There are also economic benefits to a polyamorous relationship since there are several people then, who share the income, the burden of finance, and the burden of raising and taking care of the children.
  81.  
  82. Time and effort, however, are limited, which are some of the reasons why a polyamorous relationship is rather complicated to manage! Feelings of jealousy and possessiveness also add to its complexity... But I think I could manage a polyamorous relationship since I am very good with honest communication and being assertive, and also because I am not very jealous or possessive of others (because I find myself way too awesome! :P). So I am open for a polyamorous relationship, but I don't know if that is actually a good idea, for me as a virgin, to start with one as my first, real relationship... xP And it's not really that much of a high-priority or even that essential to me. I also realize that most people today prefer monogamous relationships, so I have to take that into consideration. And I am not going to pressure anyone into a polyamorous relationship, either... That is highly immoral!
  83.  
  84. But I also recognize that us humans are horny motherfuckers, who also wants variation now and then, and which I think is a further argument for polyamory. But on the other hand, I don't really like the idea of having open relationships, having side chicks, and all that... That sounds really shady and dishonest! I mean, if you found someone who was so fucking amazing, as to be worthy of having sex with, why won't you share that amazingness with me? Don't be a greedy, shady motherfucker! If my (future) girl got the opportunity to fuck Ryan Gosling or Dan Auerbach, I would be perfectly fine with that... if I also got to participate in all that fun, and have a threesome with them! And I would expect the same from her if I got the opportunity to fuck Lena Katina or Alison Mosshart! :P
  85.  
  86. It should also be mentioned that Dagny Taggart, the main Objectivist heroine of "Atlas Shrugged" (Ayn Rand's magnum opus) was rather polyamorous, in a sense... :P And even Ayn Rand herself tried to experiment a little bit with polyamory!
  87. • high on life, and fucking proud of myself! :D

  100.  
  101. My current life goals, in chronological order:
  102. 1. Finish reading all the Holy Scriptures of Rand.
  103. 2. Start lifting. Because it is not enough to have an Übermensch mind, you need an Übermensch body, too!
  104. 3. Make adapted versions of my rant-essay, for specifically OkCupid, various Facebook-dating groups, and other places of online dating... and then blitzkrieg through all of them!
  105. 4. Initiate and spread the Objectivist/libertarian revolution, through my amazing PUA-skills and with meme magic.
  106. 5. Prove that the aether exists!
  107. 6. Become a "wizard", i.e. a 30-year-old virgin, and harness all the power... Begone, thots!
  108. 7. Buy Universal Oneness.
  109. 8. Achieve world domination.
  110. 9. Learn Latin and Ancient Greek, so I can play and act as a Roman emperor.
  111. 10. ???
  112. 11. Profit!
  113. 12. Finally get rid of my virginity, and slay chicks! Because you need the flows before the hoes, right? :P #PUA4lyf

  123. [4. I got a lot of love to offer...]
  124.  
  125. I love:
  126. • science, especially physics, mathematics, and programming. Science is one of the greatest values to me! Take, for example, all these atoms and molecules... Before science, they just stood there, completely lifeless and not really fulfilling any purpose at all! But after a while, Man got enough, and said to them: "I am so fucking sick and tired of you, standing there and just exchanging electrons with each other! Now, I want you to combine and react with you, you with you... And you, Uranium-235... I am going to slice you to death, with this very cute, little, jittery neutron here!". So we reshaped all these groups of atoms and molecules into tools, weapons, chairs, tables, beds, houses, light bulbs, cars, mobile phones, computers, condoms for safe sex, toilet paper to wipe our asses, and floors for our homes... How does it feel, floor molecules? How does it feel to be stamped on, constantly, every day, 24/7, and taste on human feet?
  127.  
  128. And we also have these bacterias and viruses, causing all kinds of nasty diseases... They thought they were safe, with their gorillions in population, and thought they could hide themselves with their almost infinitesimal size. But we invented microscopes and medicine, and showed them that they could not escape from their inevitable doom!
  129.  
  130. And for several hundreds of years, gravity used to mock and remind us that we cannot fly. So we had enough, invented airplanes and rockets, put the man on the moon, and told gravity to go pull itself down into a huge pile of shit!
  131.  
  132. I don't believe in God, I believe in science! And I believe in Man, the Promethean God. By science, We, as Humanity, can conquer and enslave Mother Nature into our submissive bitch-slave, use Her to our advantage, and make ourselves Promethean Gods and Goddesses! It has always been my lifelong dream, to put Mother Nature in Her place, dominate Her totally, and make Her do me a sandwich for me. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why I chose to become a physicist! And also, probably, another reason why I am still a virgin... Because I have been way too focused on this Woman! And man, what a Woman She would be... to be conquered and dominated!
  133. • philosophy. "Philosophy is a necessity for a rational being: philosophy is the foundation of science, the organizer of man’s mind, the integrator of his knowledge, the programmer of his subconscious, the selector of his values." - Ayn Rand
  134. • exploring new, exciting and original ideas
  135. • self-learning and figuring things out on my own. For most of my time in elementary school, I used to spend most of my free time at home, doing mathematics. And for the first three years of my university education in "Teknisk fysik", or Engineering physics, I spent most of the time at home and barely even attended any lectures! The lecturers, most of the time, pedagogically suck... but more importantly, the course literature that is usually recommended sucks even harder! So what you do instead is go to the Internet, Google for better books, read the reviews on Amazon, and then order them online. Or *ahem*... go to some certain websites on the Internet. :P
  136. • taking long walks in solitude and doing introspection
  137. • the Western civilization
  138. • ancient Greece and Rome
  139. • the Enlightenment
  140. • 'Murica... FUCK YEAH!

  175. (This looks amazing in a text editor!)
  176.  
  177. "I can say—not as a patriotic bromide, but with full knowledge of the necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic roots—that the United States of America is the greatest, the noblest and, in its original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world." - Ayn Rand
  178. • liberty. “Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.” - Ayn Rand
  179. • capitalism. "God's way of determining who is smart, and who is poor." - Ron Swanson
  180. • weapons. Because it is thanks to rifles and revolvers that we got rid of oppressive kings and tyrants!
  181. • individualism. When man, the individual, gets rejected by society, there are ultimately two fundamental life decisions that he can choose from, one of which he has to make:
  182.  
  183. Either, he can choose to give in to society, and live a life filled with accomplishments he is not really proud of, feeling full regret of himself, and ultimately in the end wither away and die a miserable death, surrounded by people he does not really cherish and not having that many cheerful memories, either, to look back upon... Or even worse, with hopeless resignation and total despair, make the utterly tragic decision to completely forsake the will to live!
  184.  
  185. Or, he can choose to reject society altogether...
  186.  
  187. “The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.” - Nikola Tesla
  188. • rock music. There is a certain Romanticist spirit in rock music, that seems to make me really drawn to it. Currently, I am digging The Black Keys, Queens of the Stone Age, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels and The Kills. And goddamn, Alison Mosshart is so fucking hot! ♥ And so is Dan Auerbach! :O
  189. • war movies, underdogs, and people who turn from rags to riches. I have the mind and the spirit of a fighter, or at least that is how I see myself! And I almost feel like I am with unison with them... like their struggles and hardships were my own! :'(
  190. • Internet, Google, and sitting in front of the computer. Now, the older generation always seems to complain about the youth always sitting in front of the computer, and that they should go outside more often... But if we are to raise them into future fighters, Spartans, and Amazon warriors, and to make them into great ones too, specifically and more importantly, demands not just physical training, but also intellectual stimulation and development! A warrior cannot just focus on one's muscles, body and on getting stronger, but also have to learn how to use one's body effectively, and also be able to cooperate with others, i.e. acquire knowledge of e.g. teamwork, leadership, tactics, and strategy! And all of them are intellectual abilities... And also, "Knowledge is power". The Internet is our greatest knowledge database, and thus it is very important to let our youth sit in front of the computer! Of course, the Internet doesn't just contain only knowledge, but also dank memes and *ahem*... pictures of naked ladies... And yes, discipline is also something a warrior has to learn, but you cannot be too strict with them because otherwise, they will start to mutiny against their superiors. And because of that, it is important to reward them now and then. Thus, a reason to let our youth sit in front of the computer!
  191. • dank memes and /pol/itically incorrect humor. I love to laugh because I find the world, our humanity and our society today fucking infinitely retarded and should know better... It is my way to cope with that! :P
  192. • meat. Because eating meat is good and is morally right!
  193. • Labrador Retrievers. No, not eating them, for fuck's sake... Also: That's raycis!! :P I would, however, like to have one as a pet, in the future.
  194. • my friends and loved ones. And there are great benefits to having me, a physicist, as your friend! Imagine that you are on a vacation with your best friend, who also happens to be a physicist... You both take a walk outside, to look around and experience the country that you decided to have a vacation on. While both of you are on the walk, you start to have your very long and interesting conversations, because that is what best friends do... Obviously!
  195.  
  196. Aside from all the landmarks and tourist attractions, you also have a conversation about e.g.: how both of you are feeling in general... what stupidities that all of your other friends have been up to... that latest, stupid video clip that you stumbled on Reddit... how fucked up beyond redemption today's generation is, and that it will probably start the Third World War, if Donald Trump hasn't already done that... all those hot chicks and hairy, manly men, who have been a part of and influenced your life, and laugh at all those stupid and embarrassing attempts at trying to catch their attention... that really amazing and cute girl/guy, and if you are going to use all of your irresistible PUA-skills on her/him... why yoga is actually just another one of those millions of stupid girl trends (like e.g. the duck face, the dog filter, twerking...), and is really just stretching, i.e. a placebo effect, with lots of New-Age woo surrounding it, just to better market it to today's impressionable young adults and college liberal Plebbits, who have no appreciation for the beauty of the Western culture, and thus have this starry-eyed fascination of Eastern/Hindu/Buddhist spirituality and mysticism instead. And also why all the men, who go to these yoga sessions, are really just there to stare at girls in yoga pants and "dat ass", or are in it just because they are being pussywhipped by their stupid girlfriends... a very deep and philosophical discussion about epistemology, regarding rationalism vs. empiricism, how you gain knowledge properly, whether you can be certain about anything, whether if any absolute truths exist, or if "everything is relative"... postmodernism, and why it is just a form of obscurantism, with all these substanceless words, such as: "postsemiotic", "prepatriarchal", "mythopoetic", "intersectionality", "metanarrative" och "multivocality", and some word with 25 syllables! And that it's all just a facade to make them, the postmodernists, appear intelligent! And how great it was of Alan Sokal, for instigating the Sokal affair... what the hell all the politicians are doing with our tax money, why they are wasting it, why people are so stupid as to vote them in all the time, why the politicians cannot leave us alone, or why people, in general, cannot leave each other alone...
  197.  
  198. So in the end, you discuss about everything and anything at all, and it always changes from subject to subject. The conversation, that you both have, completely derails... So for some reason, you start to suddenly have a conversation about buttocks:
  199.  
  200. Your bro/BFF: "... and by the way, I bet that my ass is the most tender of us two."
  201. You: "Wait, what?!... It's without doubt that mine is! How much?"
  202. Your bro/BFF: "My whole student loan."
  203. You: "Deal! I hope that you will look forward to your new job at McDonald's."
  204. Your bro/BFF: "Oh yeah, I definitely will... after I've ordered a hot dog from your hot dog stand!"
  205.  
  206. So there you are, groping on each other's buttocks, in a completely innocent and bromancely/sisterly way, and not in any homosexual way at all (Yeah, it is presumed that you both are of the same sex...). Unfortunately, though, you chose to have a vacation in a very religious and backward country, where they stone people to death for that kind of exhibitionistic behavior. So you both get arrested and sent to prison for "practicing sodomy", probably because they don't have that much of a due process, but mostly because your only defense was: "But we clearly said 'no homo' after we groped each other's butts! You've never heard of that meme? Alright, we actually forgot to do that, after we exchanged intense stares and made out with each other... But otherwise, that doesn't count! Right?...".
  207.  
  208. So then, you get dragged into your prison cells. And in your prison cell, you look around and notice lots of molds that have grown both into the walls and into the bed... And on the floor, there is also a puddle of water of grayish brown color. At the prison window, a small opening with bars and located very high up, and the only light source of the cell, are cockroaches nibbling on some very old bread crumbs, and whom the sunlight dimly shines over. You then notice a very old man, at the far corner of the cell... with long hair, unkempt beard, and sordid rags of clothes, most likely an another prisoner, and some rats chewing on his feet. It seems like he is sleeping like a log... or so it appears, from this far distance of where you are from him... Of benevolence, you decide to approach him and try to wake him up, but as you are about to get closer to the old man, you start to notice that he seems a bit bleak and pallid... almost even sickly and that he also smells a bit weird... After been trying to wake him up for a whole quarter of an hour, you draw the conclusion that: "I think it's better to leave him alone... The old man is clearly very exhausted! He is even too exhausted to be able to snore, while he is sleeping.". And all the while, your bro/BFF looking at you, thinking "He is obviously not alive... You idiot..." in complete silence...
  209.  
  210. Then you look at the prison bars, and notice that they are very rusty! And also wonder if it's possible to break them... So you ask your bro/BFF, and by the knowledge of mechanics and strength of materials, your bro/BFF concludes that... You're all doomed, and the force required is way too big, because your bro/BFF is a basement-dwelling neckbeard, who used to spend the whole time of university being at home, just studying physics and mathematics, and lurking 4chan and Reddit, while also binging on Doritos and Mountain Dew, and not going to the gym, lifting, getting swole, at all... Also, your bro/BFF got blood poisoned, since the prison has really lousy standards of sanitation, and your bro/BFF had to write with blood on the cell walls to do all the calculations...
  211.  
  212. Moral of the story: Uhm... *thinking intensifies, with lots of vectors, matrices, tensors, line integrals, partial derivatives, wave functions, Dirac deltas, and path integrals*... Oh right! Now I remember... Don't travel to countries like e.g. Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Somalia, I guess? We cannot live without our amazing homoerotic Bromance-fuck... Or no, wait! Now I actually do remember... There are great benefits to having me, a physicist, as your friend, or rather, your best friend! Since then, if you ever get arrested and prisoned while on a vacation, I can help you to escape prison! Except wait a minute now... I actually established the contrary conclusion, right? Fuck...
  213. • other weird and eccentric people
  214. • trolling and flirting around with people. Even though I am an introvert and also diagnosed with high-functioning autism, I am really starting to like flirting around with people, and observing how they react... almost like doing a psychological experiment! ;) Because I live my life by induction! I perform an action, observe what happens, and then draw conclusions from that. Same thing with human interaction! I either state something completely stupid or intelligent, observe how people react, and then think "Hmmm, maybe I should have done this way... Or no! I should have done that way, instead!", and thereafter finetune my ability to communicate with people, and tweak my social routine. It's like playing an RPG-game, and leveling up your skillset! It's a very good way to practice my social skills, to practice game. And I don't even care if my attempts even lead to something more or not because the outcome really does not matter... A partner, lover or a soul mate is merely a complement to your life, it does not complete it! I've been heartbroken and rejected so many times now, at this point in my life, it has left me unfazed and I simply don't give a fuck anymore! Nowadays, whenever I get rejected, I only feel like: "Uh-huh, alright... That kinda sucks... Whatever... Anyway... *continues to shamelessly fap to 2D girls and waifus*". Sure, it kinda feels uneasy and uncomfortable too, whenever I also get basement-dweller shamed for being a virgin, but it is all just something temporary, really! :P Now, I just really want to know people better...
  215.  
  216. Also, by stating that I am a troll, I am now "trolling by trolling" or meta-trolling. And meta-meta-trolling. And meta-meta-meta-trolling. And...
  217. • the face, curves and posterior of a woman
  218. • women in school uniform, glasses and knee socks
  219. • women with weapons. Because if they cannot handle a gun, how would they ever be able to use the one involved with lovemaking? ;P
  220. • women with long, curly, wavy hair. I think it looks so naturally and beautifully feminine! Nowadays, most women have flattened hair, which I think looks kinda artificial...
  221. • redheads and gingers. Their fiery, red hair, combined with their pink lips and pale-skinned body, really makes a delicious, captivating contrast of an utmost beautiful figure! And the freckles on their face are like stars on a night sky... ♥
  222. • thick/chubby/voluptuous girls, like Lena Katina, Ariel Winter, Stefanie Scott and Raylene Richards/Zuzana Drabinova. I find their round faces really adorable, especially when they smile! And I can imagine how great it must feel to embrace their soft bodies!
  223. • women with beautiful and kind eyes. I find it heavenly beautiful, almost divine... Like angels in real, human form! ♥ And they have a gaze that looks very thoughtful, which makes me irresistibly attracted to them! ♥♥♥ Like a kindred, wandering soul, who has seen and went through a lot of hardships! :'(
  224.  
  225. There is a friend mine, a very thoughtful and kind emo girl, whose name is Malin Saverud, and who went to the same "högstadie"-class of elementary school (i.e. for ages 13-15) as I did, for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Honestly, I think she is kind of a cute and petite girl, and I would rate her 9/10! She is almost as cute as a 2D girl... But she is still 3D pig disgusting, though! :P And she has these really kind eyes... She was my first, actual crush, and was the real reason I got Facebook for the first time. She was also the reason I deactivated it for some time because she had found somebody else... But I got over my jealousy, and it's all in the past now. We are still in contact, though, and are great friends now! :)
  226.  
  227. There was also this woman, who was one of the staff at my "korttidsboende", or short-term accommodation, that I used to go to as a teenager, and whose name was Sabina... And she was this really gorgeous fusion of Lena Katina and Stefanie Scott! She had dark blonde hair and had brown eyes... And man, she was the most amazingly beautiful woman that I had ever seen in my whole life! And her kind eyes... They were kinda like Lena Katina's, but even kinder than that... like the really kind eyes of a Labrador retriever! Oh god... My heart really melts whenever I think about her and her beautiful, adorable and kind eyes... And she was a really thoughtful and kind woman, too! 10/10! She actually makes me start to question the universal and timeless truth that "2D>3DPD"! :P I haven't visited that short-term accommodation for a while, though... and also feel uneasy about doing that, because around that time I also had a falling out with an another one of the staff there for some really small thing I said, and which the person in question blew way out of proportion (and I find that person in question like a total "petty, bratty, insecure little girl", and should definitely grow a thicker skin)... And unfortunately, because of that, they also decided to limit how much I was allowed to visit them... So I haven't seen Sabina for a long time. I wonder what happened to her? I hope all is well with her. And I hope that she found someone that is as astonishingly beautiful, thoughtful and kind as her, or something similar! I really miss her a lot... and if I ever got to hear back from her, just getting to know that all is well with her, I would be so happy! :)
  228.  
  229. But man... if I wish that I had these current, amazing PUA-skills that I have now, back then! :P But then, I would probably not be this awesome man that I am, right now! But life moves on, as usual... And women come and go, as always! :D
  230. • myself. ♥ I am so fucking amazing, I really love myself very much! ♥♥ I think I am the only man whom I would become bi-curious for! ♥♥♥ Actually, I think that is the real reason why I love to masturbate so much... It is the closest thing to having sex with myself, given our current technology available! :P
  231. • being alive. Life is beautiful... :) And I exist! :D

  239.  
  240. [5. ...but also a lot of hate! :P ]
  241.  
  242. I hate:
  243. • blind faith and religion. "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." - Christopher Hitchens
  244. • blind deference to rules, authorities, and titles. There's a common adage, that "the older I get, the more I realize how right my parents were"... But that only applies to stupid people! For me, it has rather been that the older I get, the more I realize how stupid my mother is! She is such an anal, overprotective and conformist ESTJ-drone. And it did not get better when I got diagnosed with autism... It only gave her really ignorant conceptions of autism! And as the concrete-minded, conformist drone, i.e. simple-minded (i.e. stupid), as she is, she does not recognize my superior thinking. :P She only cares about immediate results that you can observe in front of your eyes and does not realize that the results of my superior thinking are so much better... but that it takes a longer time to materialize. And whenever she visits me and my apartment, she always has to be so fucking anal about cleaning it up, and it being completely spotless! I do, however, appreciate her somewhat, for her putting effort and dedication into raising me. But in the end, I finally learned how to be assertive of myself, which improved my situation with her, and I do not find her as unbearable as before... though, it has still left me with my huge despite for rules and such!
  245.  
  246. "Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind." - Douglas MacArthur
  247. • arbitrary social conventions, group mentality, and hive-mindedness, which are abysmal thought patterns of a second-hander (i.e. a dependent), and mere obstructions of gaining true wisdom and knowledge! And enforcing group mentality, so as to not upset the petty feelings of others and to maintain "social harmony", is not at all considerate... It is just sheer bullying by those inferior-minded and insecure people, who cannot handle the superior thoughts of those with a freethinking and independent mind.
  248. • the law of Jante, which is an expression of hatred of the good for being the good, the pettiest form of envy! Pride is a virtue of an active, productive mind; humility a vice of a passive, mediocre and stagnant mind, i.e. a mind that has accepted incompetence by resignation. And the kind of people who cannot stand and constantly have to attack the pride of others, have no self-value at all worthy to be proud of! It is the main reason why Sweden is such a goddamn boring country to live in! :P Everyone is so passive and low-energy here... I really wish that I was born in the United States instead! It is also the reason why Sweden is so far behind and of barely any significance, culturally, politically, economically, and technologically, compared to the rest of the World... or rather, compared to the Western world, e.g. the USA, UK, France, and Germany. Because people here in Sweden are too afraid to stand out and fight for their convictions! If they even have any, that is...
  249.  
  250. Also, all the brilliant and ground-breaking discoveries of science were made by those who dared to challenge what was considered the established truth back then, and who had the courage, conviction, and integrity to stand up for their original thoughts and ideas! And not by those who where too afraid to do so, and abandoned them instead, and rather chose to maintain, suck up and circlejerk to the public opinion, the establishment, and the status quo at that time... And all the beautiful works of art, literature, and music were made by those who weren't afraid to express their individuality and eccentricity, and who put forth their uncompromised, ideal vision of the world, life, and mankind! And not by those who merely imitated and plagiarized on the predecessors of the past and blindly followed their rules and conventions, and who were too ashamed to live their life to the fullest...
  251. • dishonesty. “People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked... The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on... There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.” - Ayn Rand
  252. • hypocrisy. True ideas are to be practiced, and not just simply preached!
  253. • political correctness, which is just a form of censorship. There is no right to "not be offended" since we all get offended by different things! And the only way to be consistent with that would be to ban all opinions whatsoever... But I get offended when people try to take away my right to free speech! I love free speech, and "1984" is not an instruction manual... So we would then have to give preference to some people's emotions over other's, but I get offended by double standards! And I also get really offended by special rights, granted to some, but not for others... So you see, this concept is completely absurd and contradictory, and is really impossible to practice in reality with any logical consistency whatsoever! And do not trigger my PTSD for sheer stupidity. Also, most people seem to get offended by the truth! They also seem to get offended by people with an amazing sense of humor...
  254. • altruism. I have never, ever, in my whole life, understood why it is morally wrong for me to care about and act on my own happiness, but morally right for the emotional parasite to claim its happiness at the expense of mine, and who also take the opportunity to accuse me of being a "selfish, egocentric monster, the world does not revolve around you!" if I do not comply with its emotional demands (and which they deep down know is an intellectually dishonest lie, and also a projection of their entitlement, princess complex and parasitic mindset. The "selfish" part is unashamedly true though, as I said earlier, but obviously not in the sense they mean it... And don't make me have to remind you about the kinematics of relative motion!).
  255.  
  256. And if it weren't for altruism, the world would be so much better! We would not have all these fascists, national socialists, communists, despots, dictators, theocrats and other blood-thirsty, power-hungry "messiahs and saviors of the mankind", justifying sacrifice, genocide, slavery, mass-murder, and other horrendous crimes against humanity "for the greater cause of God/the nation/the Aryan race/the proletariat/etc."...
  257.  
  258. Because really, altruism, this irrational, contradictory, unjust and hypocritical double-standard, this wretched death/slave morality that is completely antithetical to human life, is nothing but a system of rationalization for these manipulators to enslave and parasitize on others. And not only has it absolutely nothing to do with (genuine) compassion and kindness... but by dividing the whole humanity into castes of slaves vs. masters, or hosts vs. parasites, according to those who have earned their values vs. those who didn't, it actually accomplishes nothing but the complete opposite (i.e. bitter resentment) and contrary to what they preach! And it is not very hard to figure out which one of those castes that these zealous preachers of altruism intend to belong, once they have got their way...
  259.  
  260. “A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue.” - Ayn Rand
  261. • collectivism. “The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” - Ayn Rand
  262. • communism and socialism. The left does not actually care about justice or fairness, in the proper sense, or even about defining them! It is all just about unrightfully taking other people's money, i.e. gaining an unearned value, and getting away with that... And what is an effective way of doing that? Guilt! Or rather, inducing unearned guilt on others. That is essentially what all leftist rhetoric is based on, guilt-tripping and other forms of emotional manipulation! Because every argument they make is merely just variations of:
  263.  
  264. 1. "You hate the poor!"
  265. 2. "Have some compassion and solidarity!"
  266. 3. "Share, don't be greedy!"
  267. 4. "The individual is weak and cannot survive by itself, cooperate!"
  268.  
  269. My replies to all that is:
  270. 1. If you really look around the world and throughout history, you will find, on the contrary, that it is actually the left who hates poor and does not really care about them! Because it is their economic policies that actually harm the poor the most, but they are, as usual, in flat-out denial about that... And I would go even further and state that the left is even worse than that: They hate all other people, for refusing to give up their money to them!
  271. 2. Compassion and solidarity imply that the ones who are receiving it have earned and are worthy of it, which they are clearly not...
  272. 3. Again, as mentioned before, sharing implies consent among everyone involved... And they are the ones who are actually greedy here, for wanting to steal all other people's money!
  273. 4. That is just a projection of their weak character, intellectual inferiority and lack of any value whatsoever to offer! Because if they actually did have anything of value to offer, and also had the decency to respect other people's rights to their own property, they would have engaged in free trade instead, i.e. voluntary exchange, or *ahem*... capitalism! But clearly, they do not, and want to "cooperate" with you instead... or rather, use the monopoly of force against you! Again, cooperation implies consent, which is clearly not what they want from you...
  274.  
  275. Furthermore, a theory which "sounds good in theory, but not in practice" is simply a very lousy theory that does not correspond to reality, and has the same epistemological status as the geocentric model, free energy, the phlogiston theory, homeopathy, ESP, and other pseudoscientific garbage! What is even worse, though, is that they still continue to rationalize "how good socialism is, and why it really works", by referring to all these mixed-economy messes that exist today... Because conveniently enough for them, they can just blame all the failures caused by the socialistic elements on the capitalistic ones, and vice versa when praising the successes! But not only is that very intellectually dishonest of them, it is also really lousy epistemology... You do not draw valid conclusions by starting with a complicated case, where all factors are mixed together, and then try to guess which effect is caused by which factor, and especially not by wishful thinking, as they do here! You start with the simple, pure ones, or ones that are close enough to that, with each factor separated on its own, so as to establish, with certainty, their actual effects! And from the clear, well-known, representative examples of capitalism vs. socialism that has existed in history, I know definitely which one of those countries I would prefer to live in...
  276.  
  277. >inb4 Sweden
  278.  
  279. I live in Sweden, it is an abject failure of a social experiment! (Och ni insnöade såssar, som fortfarande insisterar med att Sverige är ett utomordentligt exempel av socialdemokrati och välfärdsstat, är inte bara otroligt naiva... ni är även helt hjärntvättade och i totalförnekelse!)
  280.  
  281. And one last thing... The left never ask kindly, and always resort to threatening with the use of the monopoly of force, i.e. the state! And they never feel grateful for all the productive, entrepreneurial heroes, who built this high-technological, industrial civilization and are holding it up on their shoulders. They are not even grateful for these great heroes, for providing them with their jobs, i.e. their verily and stable source of income... The left only feels envy for their intellectual ability to invent ideas and products that improve our lives, envy for their courage and risk-taking to invest into their ideas, so as to turn them into reality, and envy for their well-earned wealth and success, which is their rightful reward to keep! But intelligence, gratitude, intellectual honesty, and taking responsibility for one's own life aren't that widespread virtues among the left... Really, it all boils down to this: I have some money, and they want to get it somehow. And obviously, as the unashamedly selfish asshole that I am, I am not going to give it out freely to them... For fuck's sake! Because why should I?!? I could spend that money on me instead, i.e. on someone I actually love! So are they going to work for my money? No, that is "wage slavery" to them... Are they going to provide me with a valuable product or a service that I want? No, they are too lazy and stupid to invent one, and also too much of a pussy to do all the risk-taking and invest in one... And if they actually did do all that, that would actually turn them into entrepreneurs, i.e. into "those greedy, capitalist pigs who exploit all these poor workers", those very same enemies that they are fighting against! And are they going to be an actually decent person who I want to hang out with, be my friend, and a genuine one, and thus providing me with a personal reason to gift my money to them? Or rather, a reason for me to buy something valuable with my money, and then gift that to them? No, not that either... They want to be ungrateful, parasitic bastards, and steal my money instead! Thus, the only means left, that they can resort to for taking my money, are by force and emotional manipulation! So here I have, yet again, established the moral superiority of capitalism. And also, established why all these leftists deserve to die in the gutter...
  282.  
  283. "There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide." - Ayn Rand.
  284. • fascism. No exceptions... i.e. both from the right, as well as from the left!
  285. • feminism and SJWs. As an individualist and an antifeminist egalitarian, I consider feminism a toxic, collectivist (i.e. sexist) ideology, which has absolutely nothing to do with equality of the sexes! Also, I refuse to feel collective (i.e. unearned) guilt for simply being born a man!
  286.  
  287. It is just an excuse for low-quality women to get special treatment because of their gender, i.e. gain undeserved benefits, by freeloading on the collective achievement of high-quality women (because it is not the Dagny Taggarts, the actually "strong, independent women", who become feminists... Why would they? They have nothing to gain from a false sense of victimhood, and are doing very well without it!), and by blaming all men for the collective actions of those members in said group with deficient morality, whether ancestral or currently living, and thus trying to find an excuse for wealth appropriation (i.e. theft) by collective punishment!
  288.  
  289. All of those are completely absurd notions and of grave injustice, since we are all individuals, each responsible only for one's own actions! It is all a rationalization to copiously generate the "sexist/misogynist"-card by inflation, so as to use them as blank checks, by whim and without any restraint or valid ground, to compulsively guilt-trip and silence any opposition, whether that opposition has a valid point or not. And it is not really that empowering, either, telling women that they are "victims" who need the "sisterhood" to protect them from and stand up against this boogie man called "the Patriarchy", and can blame all their problems on men... instead of actually telling them that they are individuals, who aren't bound and defined by any collective group, and responsible for their own life and actions!
  290.  
  291. I also find it very hypocritical of them, when they go around and call men "pigs, creeps, perverts, manwhores, fuccbois, etc.", but somehow think it is "sexist/misogynist" to call women "basic bitches, sluts, hoes, bimbos, thots, pussies, low-quality, etc."! Or rather, that they think it is perfectly fine to pass judgment on (some, specific, individual) men for their behavior, but not the same for women... Why is it allowable to have standards on men, but inadmissible to have standards on women? I think that both sexes should be equally allowed to be judged! I mean, if someone stated that "All men/women are...", that would actually be sexist! But that is not the case here... Because the statement "She is a thot!", merely just means "She, this specific woman, has morally deficient character, by her behavior as an individual. And I am calling out on this female individual because of it, because she, by her behavior, is a burden to the rest of us!", which is completely legitimate and not in any way "misogynist/sexist". Also, there is a difference between saying "All men/women are..." vs. "Men/women, in general, are..."... "All men/women are..." is sexist, since then you're stating that "Each and every individual man/woman, because of them being men/women, have this attribute.", while "Men/women, in general, are..." isn't, since you're stating that "There is a statistical trend among men/women with this attribute, although I do recognize that there are individual variations.". "Men/women, who do/are X, are..." isn't sexist either, because then you're saying "Those members among men/women who are doing/being X, i.e. not all, but only those who do/are X, are...", which is also completely legitimate! The real reason behind this double standard is because feminists, as the low-quality women they are, don't like being called out for being low-quality women! It is really just a rationalization to get away with their reckless behavior, so as to evade moral judgment and responsibility. And yes, obviously, they have a right to live their lives as however they please... But it is also our right to choose whomever we want to associate with! And why would I, personally, or any of the other people for that matter, want to pay and bear the burden of the consequences of their (i.e. the feminists') reckless behavior? Why should I choose to associate with them, when there are so many other women of higher quality?
  292.  
  293. The "wage gap", on the other hand, is a general trend that is actually real, though... but one that is totally fair, if we look at it on an individual level and compensate for all the factors! Other than the fact that it is just one of the manifestations of the general, biological differences that exist between men and women, it has absolutely no meaning at all and has no bearing whatsoever to the wages that all these men and women actually and rightfully earn, as individuals! It is really just a statistical average of an arbitrary collective sum that they use to invent an imaginary oppression that does not exist. Because if it were really true that women actually get lower wages than men, for the exact same work, then all the corporations would only employ women so as to profit from it as much as possible! The fact that I have to put forth and repeat this very old and hackneyed argument, and an argument that is also stupendously obvious and simple... and yet they still insist and spread this total lie that there is some kind of "systematic discrimination" against women, just illustrates their total intellectually dishonesty and how out of touch with reality that they really are...
  294.  
  295. And speaking of being completely out of touch with reality, there's this totally absurd notion about "rape culture" that these feminists bemoan a lot about... Taken literally, i.e. a community of men (or women, for that matter...) that not only explicitly encourage each other to engage in rape, but are also blatantly and proudly advocating for it, sounds completely ridiculous... Of course, nothing of that kind really exist, and as pervasive and open enough to be actually counted as a whole, actual culture of rape! The only thing that barely even comes close to being some kind of a "rape culture", would be the very limited existence of those utterly depraved delinquents, who use date rape drugs to take sexual advantage of unsuspecting victims. But most men, who certainly do not engage in those kinds of morally devoid acts, would rather feel very distressed and disheartened with being (falsely and unfairly) suspected and accused of rape, this very monstrous act of violating and depriving an another human being's right to individual freedom. It is such a despised and shameful act, that women with a rather malevolent, dishonest and manipulative intent can easily ruin an innocent man's life, simply by falsely accusing him of rape, without any evidence whatsoever, and still getting away with it! Because most people would at first react emotionally by siding automatically with the supposed-to-be rape victim, rather than with the man being falsely accused of rape... and thus he gets reduced to pariah status if he does not manage to convincingly prove his innocence! And personally... I, myself, find rape very unmanly and cowardly, since the victim is usually physically weaker than the perpetrator, and also think that anyone who actually engages in such a morally depraved act deserves to get executed... female perpetrators included!
  296.  
  297. But of course, as the intellectually dishonest and evasive pieces of shit that the feminists really are, they use this rather ambiguous and underhanded redefinition of "rape culture" instead: a culture which "normalizes, trivializes, and makes excuses for rape"... which is too vague to be able to objectively pinpoint it to anything concrete and specific, and which is also subject to any interpretation whatsoever, i.e. in any way that the feminists want to interpret it, and really just "anything that we feminists don't like, which has some kind of sexual nature to it"! One of the things that they pinpoint it to is "objectification", which is really just an underhanded attack on human sexuality... More specifically, it is an expression of their vehement envy/hatred of masculinity and femininity that is embodied among other people! Because to regard people as a sexual value is fully and legitimately a human one, and should be completely allowed as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult.
  298.  
  299. Another one they try to pinpoint "rape culture" to is "slut shaming", but which is just a rationalization for not wanting to take moral responsibility for one's own actions! Having multiple partners, in and of itself, is nothing wrong with it (or at least, that is what I personally think)... but those who get "slut shamed" are usually being called out for it because they are being dishonest about it, i.e. maintaining a pretense of monogamous exclusivity, while they themselves not having to oblige on their part of it, and thus rightfully deserve to get called out for it. And if you are going act like a "slut", well then, get used to being treated like one! And that includes not only getting "shamed" for it by some but also getting eagerly approached by others! That is just simple cause and effect, really...
  300.  
  301. And then, there is this thing they call "victim blaming", but which has absolutely nothing to do with what they disingenuously imply and really mean by that, i.e. blaming the victim for the crime, instead of the perpetrator for it... Really, what they call "victim blaming" is actually holding the victim fully accountable and responsible for her own individual agency in her part of the situation, and rightfully so, in whether or not the victim in question actually took the rather simple, obvious and common-sense precautionary measures that barely even requires any effort on her part (e.g. not giving misleading signals, not drinking excessively so as to get completely intoxicated, and being direct and clearly honest with a "no"), given a situation when such is possible (and not one where e.g. the victim is suddenly taken by overwhelming force)! Because even though the blame for the actual crime lies entirely on the perpetrator, it still remains the fact that the victim could, and should have, acted to protect herself and at least followed these precautionary measures, and definitely deserves blame for being utterly stupid, reckless and irresponsible if she did not do that...
  302.  
  303. Simply put: Of course a rapist will rape you if you "act slutty" to one... Again, that is just simple cause and effect! I mean, if I left my door unlocked and completely open, then someone will eventually come and start to steal my property... which is an obvious consequence of the fact that every human being has free will, this fundamental and unavoidable fact of human nature that makes it possible for some to be moral, and others to be immoral... But they, the feminists, want to evade this self-evident fact! And instead seem to rather want this outlandishly fantastic and imaginary world, where criminals and immoral people simply do not exist... Or alternatively, want the rest of us to pay for the consequences of their reckless and irresponsible behavior... All of that is just utter wishful and emotional thinking! And, yet again, how out of touch with reality they really are! But A is A, reality is objective, and magic does not exist! And life is not fair... Life just is, and you have to deal with it anyhow.
  304.  
  305. And this "victim blaming" is really just an another rationalization for not wanting to take responsibility for one's own actions! And furthermore, in some sense, it is actually just an utterly hypocritical projection of their own, actual victim blaming on the rest of us, who are rightfully standing up against their outright manipulative attempt at trying to make us into victims of having to pay for their reckless and irresponsible actions! And lastly, but most ironically, they are actually furthering this rather sexist view of women as "helpless victims, and emotional, irresponsible and overgrown children without any individual agency"... which also shows, yet again, that the feminists actually never really cared about (genuine) equality of sexes, but rather about getting special treatment for their gender, and nothing else!
  306.  
  307. By now, it is pretty obvious that the purpose behind this concept of "rape culture", and why the feminists invented it, is just to further their disingenuous agenda of freely banning everything they don't like, since they can just simply dismiss anyone who disagrees by guilt-tripping and shaming them, calling them utterly dishonest things like "rape apologists" or "enablers of rape culture"! And worst of all, it is actually the feminists themselves who are normalizing and trivializing rape, by making false accusations of rape without evidence, and also inventing new, disingenuous and subversive words for things that are completely innocuous and not rape at all... like e.g. "stare rape", "fart rape", "switch rape", "birth rape", etc., which is just utterly disrespectful to the victims of actual rape!
  308.  
  309. And furthermore, and which I slightly touched on regarding "wage gap"... Gender is biological, not a social construct! There are definitely general patterns among men and women, regarding hormones, anatomy, physiology, and even how the brains are wired. All of it is based on real, observable, scientific, biological and evolutionary facts. But the general patterns do not invalidate the individual variations (thus should both sexes be treated equally under the law, as human beings), but neither do the individual variations invalidate the general patterns (thus are concepts of masculinity and femininity still valid!).
  310.  
  311. Of course, that does not prevent people to psychologically think and act as anyway they please, and according to what they actually want to identify with! And obviously I, as a libertarian, fully support their right to do so... But the fact that I have to state this, so as to not get lynch-mobbed, is a sign of the current sorry-ass state of today's political dialogue, regarding gender and identity politics, and also how political correctness is a major hindrance to it! Today, it rather seems like that everyone is too busy instead with screaming "intolerant, ignorant bigot!" at anyone who holds a different opinion from them...
  312.  
  313. So don't waste your time screaming "You straight, white male!" at anyone that you disagree with, whenever you are about to lose an argument... And especially not at me! Because I am not straight, I am bi-curious of myself, i.e. an autosexual... Check your allosexual privilege! Being an autosexual is rather lonely since you cannot find somebody else to make love with because you're not even able to love anybody else, to begin with! And I am not white, I am yellow! But white is a mixture of all colors... so actually, you're partially right! But I don't really mind, that some people are born as a mixture of more colors than I have... Because then, I absorb more photons than they do, and thus gaining more energy than them! On the other hand, I am very envious of black people, for their ability to *ahem*... steal more photons. :P So eventually, check your black-body absorption privilege, too! Because energy is conserved, it can neither be created nor destroyed... The amount of energy that exists out there, in the whole Universe, is fixed... it is limited. So when some people are able to absorb more photons than others, they are making it very hard for the rest of us to gather energy, since there won't be as many photons left! But I actually do identify as a male. So you can call me a "Fucking male!", because I love the truth, i.e. I am a verisexual and a sophosexual... So check your fallaciosexual privilege, too! It is very tough to be a verisexual and a sophosexual because most people are fucking idiots who are constantly telling lies and falsehoods... But I would advice you not to call me a "Fucking male!", because that would nakedly expose your movement for what it actually is... As a sexist, misandrist ideology! And "Fucking defectively white male!" is also fine with me... But I would advise you not to do that, either! Because that sounds like you're advocating for white supremacy, and that I should strive to become more white... which is pretty racist if you ask me! Heck, sometimes I don't even identify as a male, or even as a human being, for that matter... But as a Randian Übermensch Promethean Godkin! So don't forget to also check your Untermensch unenlightened pleb privilege, either! Because it is a very hard life, being intellectually superior, and others not recognizing it! You got all that, right? Hold on, let me just summarize it all on a list...
  314.  
  315. Check your:
  316. 1. allosexual privilege, i.e. the privilege of being able to love other people, and thus having much easier time to find somebody for lovemaking!
  317. 2. black-body absorption privilege, i.e. the privilege of being able to gather more energy than the rest of us, and thus not having that much of a need for eating food and sleep!
  318. 3. fallaciosexual privilege, i.e. the privilege of loving to spread lies and falsehoods, and getting away with it!
  319. 4. Untermensch unenlightened pleb privilege, i.e the privilege of being intellectually inferior, and thus having ample venues for finding like-minded people... to turn against me, and gang up on me!
  320.  
  321. Of course, to all you feminists, everything that I say is just "mansplaining", since I am a man... Because to them, when the truth is conveyed from an intellectually superior to an intellectually inferior, it gets invalidated somehow, if the intellectually superior happens to be a man, and the intellectually inferior happens to be a woman that espouses an utterly stupid and false belief, or just outright lies, completely devoid of any facts and logic... and which needs to be sorely refuted! So I, as an intellectually superior, am going to "assert my male dominance", rightfully and unashamedly so, by "mansplaining" what "mansplaining" really is: a totally intellectually lazy cop-out... and also yet again what a sexist, misandrist shit-ideology that feminism is!
  322.  
  323. And there are gorillions of other stupid terms that the feminists like to invent, for denoting things that they don't like, e.g. "manspreading", "catcalling", "male gaze", "microaggression" (which is just projection of their own, petty, passive-aggressive behavior!), "#yesallwomen", "fragile masculinity" (which is just projection of their own fragility, for not being able to admit that they are intellectually inferior!)... But it is all just spoiled, bratty, passive-aggressive, low-quality women, as usual, being petty and bitching about every innocuous thing that men do, and trying to facade it as a political cause... It is no wonder why "chivalry is dead", as they bemoan... because feminism killed it!
  324.  
  325. And finally, at last, but not least... Don't even bother attempting to accuse me of being a "misogynist"! Because I, as an Objectivist, consider Ayn Rand the wisest human being that has ever existed... And she was a woman! And yes, she even identified as one, too... goddamn it! But then, you're probably coming with "Ayn Rand was right-wing and had internalized misogyny!", or something like that... Which is really just an another way of saying "I disagree with you but don't really have an actual argument, so I am going to repeat my intellectually dishonest accusation!", and also really just a form of admitting that you lost the debate...
  326. • hipsters. I really hated NVA10, my class in "gymnasiet" (the Swedish equivalent of high-school), of Rudbecksgymnasiet... It was so full of pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, regressive-leftist hipsters! They think they are so intelligent, educated and free-thinking... But they have no idea how foolishly sheepish and ignorant they really are!
  327.  
  328. We had this flat-haired, brunette, Kurdish girl with glasses, who liked to humiliate her adversaries with her snide, passive-aggressive, intellectually dishonest remarks... But at best, they were amateurish attempts at psychoanalysis that was completely off the mark but were distortions that were still just satisfyingly enough for her, to bring about the purpose of inducing undeserved guilt and shame among her opponents... And at worst, they were total projections of her disturbed psychology!
  329.  
  330. Also, we had this Swedish guy with glasses, who used to wear hoodies and cargo pants... and he was such a nu-male! He always had to express guilt, shame, and self-hatred on behalf of the West... or rather, for the inconsistencies of it. And he had this distastefully passionate, envious hatred of the United States, unjustly and dishonestly blaming the consequences caused by its honest mistakes, its inessential inconsistencies (i.e. its excessive, unjustified interventionism on foreign countries, or "world-policing", and "imperialist ambitions"), on the essential principles it actually represents (i.e. reason, liberty, capitalism, individualism, and egoism). He only provided with cowardly deflective and evasive sneers, and flat-out dishonest slurs, without any real attempts at backing them up! And I detested his cringing, mumbly manner of speech...
  331.  
  332. Last, but not least We had this kinda pencil-necked Turkish guy, who was the popular guy that everyone in the class looked up to... And he was the archetypical pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, regressive-leftist hipster! I used to always feel uneasy, being around him, because he always had this air of altruism, of assumed but an undeserved sense of moral superiority, of passive-aggressiveness, and especially an air of inducing unearned guilt and shame, merely by his implicit body language and facial expression... He was also such an insufferable Mac-faggot! A Mac is just some overpriced fluff and glitter. It's for people of the superficial kind, who gets easily starry-eyed and distracted by its "artistic, slick and shiny" design and "intuitive" GUI (but if you were really an art-faggot, you would get a Wacom tablet instead!), for wannabe xXx420Uber1337HaxXorZ420xXx (actual programmers and "hackers" use Linux!), and finally, but most importantly, it's for sheepish hipster-faggots, who want to play "so hip" and into the "latest, top-notch" technology (but if you actually did high-performance computing with supercomputers, you would install Unix/Linux! Or, if you only cared about gaming, you would get Windows instead! Because most of the computer games, and all the latest graphics cards, are currently focused on compatibility with Windows. And why get a Mac, and then use Boot Camp, when we have established that there is no point at all in having one, for its other "reasons"? Or if you are worried about viruses, install Linux instead!)! And I really despised his over-rated speeches, which he used to hold at every summer, and which the whole class completely ate up... They were so substanceless, empty and trite, and were all just touchy-feely, altruist-collectivist verbiage! And they were supposed to arouse, among the audience, an honest sense of good feeling and hope for better times... but established nothing but delusion and a false sense of relief!
  333.  
  334. “There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable non-conformist.” - Ayn Rand
  335. • hippies. It was all the hippies' fault, for making the United States lose the Vietnam War because they started to get squeamish and dupe others into thinking "Boohoo, it is so boring killing other people and playing IRL CS... or rather, so boring killing oppressive communist pinkos that actually really deserve to die! And it hurts so much getting shot... having promiscuous sex and doing drugs is so much funnier, and easier too! Also, we are okay with people in Vietnam being dirt-poor and not having the right to property, and also with humiliating our country so hard, by losing the war!"... So the United States decided to "make love, not war" when they really should have continued to "make war, not hippie babies"! :P
  336. • people who immigrate to the West, just to parasitize on it, and to undermine and destroy everything it stands for... and also those who support and enable them. And don't fucking dare call me a "racist", because my parents are also immigrants! I definitely support some kind of immigration, but I don't think that just about anyone should be allowed to move into here... Definitely not criminals, murderers, serial killers, pedophiles, mobsters, gang members, terrorists, former fighters for ISIS, etc.! And I also support people's right to practice whatever culture and religion (or lack thereof...) they want to follow, as long as it does not violate the rights of others. Practices like honor killings, Sharia law, child marriage and genital mutilation should definitely not be tolerated! But it seems like people today are just too busy gathering "politically correct"-brownie points instead...
  337.  
  338. That does not prevent me from having a personal opinion, though, regarding which culture I prefer and think is the best one! A culture is merely just a set of ideas and values, which happens to be the dominant and prevailing norm among a group. And every idea should be equally allowed to be under scrutiny and objective judgment; No idea should have special status, and be spared from criticism, whether from legitimate one or not! And I, as an Objectivist, consider the Western culture, with ideas such as liberty, individualism, capitalism, globalization, free speech, free thought, freedom of religion, rule of law, equality before the law, republicanism, scientific thought, and philosophical thought, to be objectively superior to others! There is a reason that we have a higher standard of living here in the West, compared to the rest of the world. And that is because we all benefit, as individuals, from all these ideas!
  339.  
  340. And I think it is great that some people, in some sense, are starting to recognize the benefit of living in a Western civilization! But I think it is very unfortunate, though, but still very understandable, that they turn to movements like the alt-right, and "Sverigedemokraterna" (which is really just a social democratic party here in Sweden, that supports some form of a welfare state, but are culturally conservative and wants to limit immigration in some way, and not really that much of a "racist, fascist" party that the leftists and the mainstream media tries to paint them as and wants us to believe. I still disagree with them, though.) These so-called and would-be "defenders and saviors" of the Western civilization will do much more harm to it than its attackers! Because when they try to defend the Western civilization, by faith and tradition, they are actually conceding defeat to the opponents' false claim that there is no objective basis for its existence!
  341.  
  342. I think we should instead turn to the ideas of the Enlightenment, which resulted in the scientific revolution and the Industrial Revolution, and was the basis and foundation for the United States of America, the greatest, wealthiest, most powerful and beautiful nation that has ever existed in our whole history... and rightfully so! And not to the ideas of the Dark and Mediaeval Ages, which resulted in nothing but religious dogmatism, persecutions, self-immolation, witch-hunts, freethinkers burning at the stake, backward thinking, scientific stagnation, oppressive kings and tyrants, and filthy, dirt-poor, feudal peasants, who didn't manage to survive into old age... Or barely even into middle age, for that matter!
  343. • regressive leftist, pseudo-intellectual academics, who spout out nothing but postmodernist verbiage, to spread horrendous ideas that undermine the Western civilization, while at the same time parasitizing on all the benefits of living in one!
  344.  
  345. The intellectual leaders of the West today, who are supposed to defend it, but are actually not only aggressively and ardently attacking it, but are also hastily and heedlessly apologizing for its inconsistencies, i.e. imperialism, colonialism and slavery (which are just awful remnants of those lousy ideas from the Dark and Mediaeval Ages), as if they where actual consequences of what it really stands for... They are the ones who are doing grave, dishonest and unjust damage to it! Because it is the intellectual leaders who set the terms and the direction of our civilization... for the rest of us to follow, by conviction or default! And they are duly responsible for the currently meek, weakly, apologetic, miserable, despicable, sordid, and decaying state of today's Western civilization, and are currently guiding it to its impending downfall. All the while, hiding behind all of their academic titles, this false veneer of objectivity... which they really do not deserve!
  346.  
  347. There is a reason that people today, in general, view the humanities with derision, in preference to the "hard" sciences, such as STEM, because the ideas that are being spread by the humanities today have no objective basis or any value, whatsoever! It is also the reason why they are ardently against capitalism, and against privatization of schools, education, and academia... because no one would then hire and pay them for their lousy ideas! Rather, they would then end as bums, living in the gutter... and deservingly so! And politically, they have obviously their right to free speech and right to stay here. But personally though, since there are so many other countries out there that are non-Western, and for them to choose from... I think we should honestly deport them!
  348.  
  349. And God, I really hate Lisa Simpson and Brian Griffin, these two fictional characters... They are the epitome of the regressive leftist, pseudo-intellectual... So fucking pretentious, and always carrying an air of assumed, but unearned, intellectual and moral superiority... but everything they say is so goddamn fucking dead wrong!
  350. • militant vegans and vegetarians. I really hate their virtue-signaling, since they are the ones who are actually of morally deficient character, who try to shove their false opinion on others, and having neither intelligence nor intellectual honesty enough to realize that! If only they could keep their opinion to themselves, and just continue to eat their unsavory, tasteless food. But of course, if you spend your whole life doing that, you would obviously start to feel bitter and would like to complain in some way, and justify ones stupid life-choices by virtue-signaling and claiming that "but at least I am doing something morally right!", i.e. an obvious case of "sour grapes"... :P
  351. • public school. School is for stupid people, who cannot think independently, and there are many other and better ways to learn!
  352. • mainstream media. Media is for old people, who cannot Google to find real, true information from the Internet, and who chooses instead to be spoon-fed with propaganda!
  353. • modern art, which is just a mere juxtaposition of smears and meaningless forms, and whose purpose is to destroy the value of beauty by celebrating the nondescript ugly!
  354. • modern culture, with its all-pervasive sense of apathy, indifference, ambivalence, resignation, uncertainty, doubt, ambiguity, regret, shame, hopelessness, purposelessness, meaninglessness, thoughtlessness, whim-worship, self-destructive hedonism, irrational spontaneity, indiscriminate sexual promiscuity and mindless partying... Where nothing is valued, revered or admired for its worth, and where everything is simply taken for granted! There used to be a time when people partied because of a personal achievement they wanted to share and celebrate with others, and celebrate life. Nowadays, most people seem to party because they want to forget something, and escape reality...
  355.  
  356. "Tears of pleasure, tears of pain. They trickle down your face the same." - Queens of the Stone Age, "If I Had a Tail"
  357. • basic bitches and non-bitches. I know C, Python, and MATLAB, but not BASIC, and I am seriously not bothering to learn it, either!; I am for equality of the sexes, so I hate both of them equally! :P
  358.  
  359. On a more serious note... I really hate it when I am the only one who is actually putting an effort into contributing something to the conversation! One of the reasons that I rarely felt love is because I find most people fucking uninteresting, especially people here in Sweden... And if I approach you, that means that I have taken a lot of time and consideration, and found you somewhat interesting enough for me to actually bother to approach you, and want to know you better! Because I am an introvert. Do not make me feel like I am wasting my time on you! Or at least have the decency to give me some chance to prove my worth to you, so that you don't mistakenly dismiss me as a "pushover nice guy" beforehand... Or, at the very least, just simply state what you honestly think... positive or negative! Whatever is fine with me, as long as it is your honest opinion... And I, myself, may have strong and interesting opinions myself, but I am not a clown that solely exist just for your amusement, for fuck's sake! :P Do not make me feel very disappointed in you...
  360.  
  361. Also, speaking of basic... Before I started "Teknisk fysik", or Engineering physics, at Chalmers University of Technology in the summer of 2013, we had to fill in our self-declaration, so as to get assigned a phadder group, or a university friend group, for new, incoming students. So I decided to fill in lots of completely stupid answers, so as to get into the group with all the awesome and funny people, or so I expected... Some of the questions and answers, which I remember, were:
  362.  
  363. Q: If you could improve the world, by inventing a new fruit [which I changed to "root vegetables"], what would you come up with?
  364. A: Genetically modified giant potatoes, so that the whole world can enjoy french fries! :D
  365.  
  366. Q: If you were stranded on a deserted island and could bring 3 things with you, what would you bring?
  367. A: 3 Chalmers Engineering physics students. We would invent a boat, fueled by coconuts, navigate home by the stars, and then become filthy rich with our new invention! Because we just simply can do it, right?
  368.  
  369. So I got assigned to Cret. But when I actually got to meet them for the first time... Man, were they such a complete disappointment! They were so basic, hive-minded, uninteresting plebs, lacking any kind of character, and in a very typically Swedish way! And the only thing they cared about, was "hurr durr, mindless partying"... And most of them just kinda ignored me and froze me out. Some of them were actually kind to me, though, and they are the only ones of Cret who I have any respect for! But still, there I was, not really having any friends... Because they were such boring plebs to talk with! And bored as I were, I decided instead to flirt with the girl whom I thought was kinda cute and kind... but as the socially awkward guy and not having these amazing PUA-skills back then, it all just came out as "creepy" (and which I also admit that I kinda actually was), and I was practically frozen out completely, hive-minded as they were... Although, I do actually admit that it was kinda my own fault! But still, besides that... They were still so fucking basic, hive-minded and uninteresting plebs, anyhow! So I decided to simply just move on, do my own thing, and be awesome instead! And they continued on with being completely basic, hive-minded, uninteresting plebs and lacking any form of character, and sheepishly caring only about "hurr durr, mindless partying", etc. And I made new, better friends instead, with the "social outcasts and rejects" of the class, the actually funny and interesting people to talk with! :P
  370.  
  371. And let's not talk about the people in "studentoveraller", or student boilersuits... Or rather, those of them who are in my student section, anyway...
  372. • fake people and people-pleasers. "Selfless people cannot have self-esteem, because they have no self to esteem." - Dr. Ellen Kenner
  373. • shallow, superficial people that only care about image and social status. Life protip: Nothing of that matters in the long run. Truth and reality are the final arbiters, not the irrational emotions of others! And the public opinion is always amenable to change. Also, negative attention can always easily be turned to positive... by the truth! But those who are way too concerned with image and social status aren't that used to arguing with the truth...
  374. • bratty people, who have nothing better to do than to constantly gossip, create drama and backstab others... And who provides nothing but vapid, worthless, passive-aggressive, substanceless, "snarky and cute" quips, which again is a symptom of their non-existent intelligence, self-value and self-esteem, and clearly a very pathetic and wasteful attempt at trying to inflate themselves. Because people who hide behind passive-aggressiveness are just simply attempting a cop-out from providing actual arguments, by trying to superficially imitate the form of an objective statement, without actually providing the substance of one, i.e. facts and logic!
  375. • people with no redeemable traits whatsoever, and yet who still feel the need to find minute and superficial reasons, and/or to invent imaginary ones, to nitpick on those of us who actually do! All of which is just to cover up and compensate for their total lack of any legitimate self-worth, and obviously an expression of envy for us better people!
  376. • parasites and manipulative people. I have lots of experience with these kinds of people, and specifically grew up with a family member who definitely belongs to this category... So I know how to identify and call out all of their infantile tactics, such as: lying, denial, rationalization, evasion, diversion, selective attention/inattention, selective memory, guilt-tripping, shaming, ridicule, flattery, projection, making false assumptions, being passive-aggressive, gaslighting, playing the servant, playing the victim, blaming the victim, playing innocent/stupid, intimidation, covert intimidation, enforcing peer pressure, getting a tantrum, etc. Trying to manipulate me is a wasteful endeavor and, certainly, a losing battle, since I have the truth and the moral superiority on my side, and also because I do not feel any guilt, regret or shame for my actions, the very tools they need to get through!
  377.  
  378. Also, I get really amazed and amused by their sheer stupidity, as they repeat exactly those listed tactics when I call them out, thus providing me even more empirical evidence confirming all of my conclusions that I have made of them! It really shows how deeply ingrained it is in their disturbed psychology, and how their pathetic, worthless existence really depends on it... And after a while, they become so ridiculously predictable to me!
  379.  
  380. One rationalization that they often interject with, when being called out, and which deserves special mention here, is "don't judge on others, keep your subjective value-judgments to yourself!"... And yet they insist that we rather give up ours, in favor of theirs instead! It reveals their total lack of intellectual honesty, and that they have never really cared about ideas, about truth and consistency. For them, words do not represent ideas, they are merely a tool for inducing certain emotional reactions on others, and to be abused, misused and distorted way out of their proper meaning and definitions. The only thing they care about is to escape moral judgment and responsibility, to gain and/or maintain a host, to get the sanction of the victim, and for you to abdicate your mind in favor of your indenture in spiritual slavery!
  381.  
  382. Another point to be made is that I, as an Objectivist, consider values as objective, since values and life are interrelated. Not only do they enhance our lives, our survival depends on them! But if you subscribe to an irrational and contradictory double-standard of a moral code like altruism, this wretched death/slave morality which demands that you sacrifice all your values away to these parasites for no rational reason whatsoever... but rather, merely by the fact that you possess all these values and they don't, the fact that you have earned them, while they didn't, and also, and most importantly, the fact that they enhance, specifically, your life, and not theirs instead... then obviously, values have no objective basis at all!
  383.  
  384. But life depends on moral judgment! Because other human beings can also be regarded and evaluated as values... Or non-values, and even anti-values, for that matter! And it matters to your life and happiness on what kind of people you associate yourself with! Whether with a genuine friend who respects you, understands your amazing sense of humor, and always provide moral support, but also actual, substantial, constructive criticism, and thus by their presence making yourself better off... Or with a parasitic ingrate, who take all your benevolent acts of kindness for granted (not only mistaking them for weakness and complacency, but also have the galls to call you "selfish and greedy" for "not being loving enough, and giving too little", and demands even more), and nitpicks, sneers and berates at all your virtues and achievements, thereby being a total drain on your life! And they never provide any rational reason whatsoever on why we should keep up with them because there is none at all.
  385.  
  386. No person with any intelligence and self-respect would ever associate with them! So they end up becoming a fool of fools, with relationships filled with empty motions and gestures, in replacement of actual love and friendship, and mutual, bitter contempt and resentment for each other, both of which gradually increases for every day, but which they try to emotionally repress for the sake of "social harmony", to no avail...
  387.  
  388. Instead, all of it resurfaces again, in the form of constant feelings of:
  389. 1. shame, for knowing, deep down, that they have nothing of genuine value to offer
  390. 2. fear, for the eventuality that others will discover it and gather courage enough to act upon it
  391. 3. and guilt, for knowing that they could have improved themselves as a person, but consciously chose otherwise, thus holding full moral responsibility for it!
  392.  
  393. All of which also explains why they always try to induce these base, petty feelings on others: because those feelings are the only ones that really motivate them, and also the only ones that they have felt throughout their whole, entire life. Thus, they try to control others the same way! And then they wonder why nobody really likes them...
  394.  
  395. It is of no surprise, really, that they eventually develop suicidal thoughts, since they have lived a life in constant terror, trying to escape reality! It is also really amusing to hear them call me "insecure", for not blindly accepting their bullshit, at a moment when they are clearly losing the debate, since unlike them, I have honestly never, ever, had a single suicidal thought throughout my whole entire life... Because when you learn how to completely rely on your own intellect, instead of relying on others second-handedly and parasitizing on them, you gain a deep, profound self-confidence about yourself that can never be shaken! It is really nothing but a textbook case of projection, of their own insecurity over not being able to admit that they have never actually developed any intellectual ability, whatsoever, to form an actual argument, and never intended to learn how to actually reason with others. But the most tragic thing, though, with these kinds of people, is that they will never, ever, experience any genuine love... the thing they have most longed for, the only thing they have longed for! Because what stands in their way are they themselves, and their insistence on their worthlessness. Deep down, they know very well that they have themselves to blame...
  396. • my sister, my lifelong ESFJ nemesis and the manipulative and parasitic family member in question! Because she has done the following to me:
  397.  
  398. 1. Freeloaded on my student apartment. I complied because otherwise, my mother would get mad at me... My mother has, or used to have, this irrational, unjust demand that I have to accept and love my sister unconditionally as she is, and turn a blind eye to her morally deficient behavior, even though she honestly and wholeheartedly do not deserve it! My sister always used this cute, little trick against me, whenever she and I had a disagreement or an argument, and whenever an opportunity occurred so that she could take advantage of it. And she was a complete burden to me! I mean, the student apartment, which I lived in at that time, was really only suitable for one person and was rather cramped... However, it did have a kitchenette, with two hotplates and a kitchen sink, but the kitchen sink was very small! So it was very often filled up with dishes... And I had to do the dishes most of the time! Also, I had to wash the clothes and take out the trash, as usual... But then, I had to do hers, too! I can say this with total certainty because I spent most of the days at home. And most of the time, she just lied in her bed, or oftentimes went to the bathroom, just loafing around and not really helping that much with the common household chores... Her rationalization for that? "But I always feel so exhausted, when I come home after work...", which does not make sense at all... I mean, I myself have my studies to deal with, which is also kinda like a full-time job, and sometimes also feel tired of it... but I still have to do my common household chores, anyway! And furthermore, how is she able to live alone now, in her own apartment, if she always feels too exhausted after work to do common household chores? Or for that matter, those times, before she moved into my student apartment when she also had her own apartment? And sure, she bought and cooked food, but mostly vegetarian food for herself... And those times, when she actually did cook food for me as a "favor", she always had to interrupt me by asking me to "help" her with it... thus distracting me from my important studies! I mean, do me a complete favor, or don't do it at all... Do not half-ass favors for me! And I can completely cook on my own, if you are going to do me such a lousy one, thank you very much! I highly suspect now, that she did that deliberately out of malicious intent... Aside from doing the "favor" of paying for the food, she also did all these "favors" of buying me clothes and other stuff... But that was it, really, regarding all the "positive" things she did for me... Really just shallow, empty, material and fake "favors" for me. Gifts... in replacement of an actually decent, honest and grateful personality! To be honest, I really think she did that, just to gain a leverage for guilt-tripping! But all of those "favors" were really unnecessary, something she really did not have to do for me... and I wouldn't actually mind letting her live with me for free, either, and accepted her with open arms... if she were actually a decent, honest and grateful person! I mean, I have actually let some of my friends sleep over at me, and cooked food for them! Because you know why? Because they have actually earned my friendship and love, by their decent, honest and grateful personality! Unlike her! I and my friends, we barely give gifts to each other, but I still appreciate them gorillion times more than my sister... because of their personality! Another excuse, that she used to gave me, was "But I vacuum the floor, when you are not here at home!", which is very unlikely and obviously a lie... I did not have a vacuum cleaner, and she had brought her own... But it was so obviously broken! (It really sucked at sucking... :P) So why even bother vacuuming with it at all? And when she moved out, and wanted to take with her an over-the-door hook (for hanging up clothes) and a stapler of mine, and I called her out on it, she started to get a tantrum! And then diverted and misled me, by offering me her vacuum cleaner in exchange... A vacuum cleaner, simply for an over-the-door hook and a stapler! Actually, the over-the-door hook and the stapler doesn't really matter that much to me, even though they are mine (I remember clearly that I got the stapler from my mother, and also clearly remember that I bought the two over-the-door hooks when I moved in, because there were barely any places to hang my clothes!)... But the fact that she simply just took them, instead of actually asking for them kindly, shows yet again this major sense of entitlement, parasitism, and princess complex, and also her abject disregard of other people's right to property. And it was so obvious that she wanted to get rid of the vacuum cleaner, but I realized it too late afterwards, way after she had already moved out, at the time when I first tried to give it a test drive... I trust my eyes completely, they don't lie to me, and I clearly saw a broken vacuum cleaner! And my glasses worked very well, too... goddammit! And I was not alone in this opinion. I put the vacuum cleaner out in the common hallway, for anyone to take it for free. And, since poor students really love free stuff, it didn't take very much time before someone took it. But needless to say, it was right back there at the same place again, in the hallway, already on the day after... And no, she didn't pay any share of the rent, either! Convenient, huh? Again, I wouldn't actually mind that, if she wasn't such a disrespectful and ungrateful person... and if I actually liked her as a person in general, but that is something she never attempted to put the thought and effort into doing... to become one! Nor the decency enough, either... but she still wanted to associate with me, anyhow! Thus wanting to have the cake, and eat it too. And the way she laughed at me, when I shrunk my favorite sweater by mistake, at one of the times when I was washing the clothes! No, not the fact that she laughed at me... it's just a sweater, really! It's not really that important... But the way she did it, I found it really disturbing... Such a naked expression of nihilistic hatred!
  399.  
  400. 2. Changed the privileges of my computer account, from "Administrator" to "Standard", when I wasn't looking and wasn't present nearby, at a time when I still lived with my mother, and when she was visiting us. Not that this temporary inconvenience matters, because I managed to hack it back! :P But rather that she did this to me... She did this because of petty revenge, of something I did earlier... She wanted to access my account, instead of using any of the other "Standard" or "Guest" accounts for some reason that I forgot, and asked for my password... And obviously, I refused, because of privacy reasons! So she tried to guilt-trip and shame me with "Don't be such an egotist! The computer is a shared, family resource, and the world does not revolve around you!", or something similar... which is a purely dishonest distortion and a total, hypocritical projection, given how she usually means by that! (And for the last time, don't make me have to remind you about the kinematics of relative motion... Fuckface!) Because she is the one here who is actually of morally devoid character, who violated my right to privacy and my rightful responsibility as an administrator of the computer... Because I was the only one in my family who was the most technically literate enough to be allowed to have an "Administrator"-account to our computer... or rather, should have! The rationalization that she provided with when she did this violation to me? "So that you won't install more stuff so that the computer does not run slower!"... Which shows how goddamn, fucking stupid and ignorant beyond belief she is! I mean, that is like saying "Don't buy more books to put on the bookshelf, you won't be able to read as fast then..."! And because it's not the amount of software that is installed, but whether that software is malicious or not, that makes the computer slow! Dipshit! Another solution for fixing the Windows-bug would be to install Linux! :P Or buy a Mac, which she actually did when her own Windows laptop got infected, foolishly enough! xD But again, that's just overpriced fluff and glitter, as we have established earlier! And yes, I admit that I just assumed and took on the role as an administrator, but then who else of us should? Not my mother, since she does not know that much about computers... and definitely not my sister, who clearly does not know much about computers at all, either! Because otherwise, it would then get infected, and we wouldn't have any functioning family computer whatsoever! (And it's also really amusing when my sister tries to rationalize all this, by stating that the family computer is my mother's property, and thus accusing me of "seizing on it" and violating my mother's property rights, when she clearly has no respect for mine, given what I mentioned earlier... And also tries to abjectly lie and gaslight me, by claiming that all the stuff she stole from me is hers! Thus, it is also a total, hypocritical projection... Another favorite habit of hers!) But anyway... She had the gall to also set up a parental control on my computer account! Because at that point, my mother and I were not really on good terms, since she discovered that I love to spend my time looking at *ahem*... pictures of naked ladies! :P (Specifically, it was pictures of Kyla Cole, a very beautiful brunette! What makes her so much more attractive, compared to the rest of the girls involved in the business, is that she seems very engaged in it! Her smiles look genuinely happy... Almost like if she were your actual girlfriend!) My mother was very upset and disillusioned with me, probably because of her rather conservative upbringing and culture... So I thought that maybe my sister could reason with her instead, since she grew up with a more modern view, and would understand and feel sympathy for me and my situation... And also because I cannot speak Vietnamese, and had difficulties in general with communication and asserting myself! So I told her about the situation and begged her to negotiate for me, and it initially seemed like she agreed with it... But then, she betrayed and backstabbed me, in this most mockingly, humiliating way possible!
  401.  
  402. 3. She has even initiated physical violence on me when I did not do a favor for her correctly! One time, when my mother was away on a vacation, my sister ordered me to do this small, meaningless thing of buying orange juice for her (which is really petty and unnecessary of her... I mean, if you want something, do it yourself! I don't owe you shit, you have to earn favors... you fucking parasitic ingrate!). So I complied, to make her shut up... But I mistakenly bought the wrong one instead, because it was not very clear to me what kind of orange juice that she actually wanted, and she kinda commanded me out of nowhere and in a hurry. So instead of kindly asking me to go back, return it and buy the correct one instead... she started to lash out at me! And not only that... she even blamed on me for "disturbing" the neighbors, for making them ring our doorbell and have a visit with us, "asking" us for sugar... but really, they did that just to observe what the heck all the ruckus was all about! She did not even show me gratitude, for at least trying to do her a favor... It really shows her startlingly and disturbingly big sense of entitlement, princess complex and parasitism!
  403.  
  404. And yes, I admit that I also, at times, used physical violence against her... But only as a response to her morally disgusting, abusive, underhanded behavior! Because if you were driven to despair and frustration for not being able to communicate and assert yourself, and being defenseless against this torrent of dishonest, unjust treatment against you, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't any decent person with self-respect resort to physical violence, as a final protest against all of this disgusting, psychological abuse and toxic behavior?
  405.  
  406. Of course, she will evade, deny and rationalize it to death, as is typical of her, and the only thing she is good at! But if you interact with her directly, you will get ample empirical evidence for all of what I've said about her! But at least, from my experience with her, I now know how to identify low-quality people, and also how to deal with their stupid, infantile mind games... More specifically, low-quality women like her are the main reason why antifeminism understandably and legitimately exist! And unfortunately and mistakenly, though, why actual misogyny, MGTOW, The Red Pill, and negative, sexist stereotypes of women also exist... Thus doing a major disfavor to the rest of the women, who are better than her and her kind of ilk! And coincidentally enough, she is also a feminist who supports "Feministiskt initiativ", the feminazi party here in Sweden... What a surprise, huh? So anyway, she has not been completely worthless to me, though! :P But still...
  407.  
  408. And whenever I actually even bothered to give her a chance to have an honest and open discussion, and she then said some really stupid opinion, but also something she honestly believed in, and I asked honestly why she thought that way and wanted to hear her reasoning behind it, she would usually respond with "Uhhhhh... *some very shoddy, vapid, simple-minded, and not very well-thought reasoning at all*", with the most condescending, bimbo-bitchiest, thottiest tone on the "Uhhhhh...", like if it was obviously true... But really, it was obviously true, how much of a brain-dead, close-minded groupthinker she is, without any ability of critical thinking whatsoever! And whenever I shared my well-formed, well-thought and true opinion, she would always respond with "Stop being so bigoted/judgmental/arrogant/insensitive!"... Because really, my strong but true opinions simply just hurt her feelings and reminded her of her own fundamental insecurities. But still, for some reason, she still wonders and complains about why I don't talk to her very much... But really, it is because she is so fucking emotional and retarded, who cannot deal with the fucking truth! And why should I sanction the facade that we are actually having an honest and open dialogue when her intelligence clearly does not measure up enough for one?
  409.  
  410. Another cute, favorite trick of hers, whenever she was losing an argument, was by trying to flatter me with "Why won't you simply realize and accept it! You're intelligent."... Except I am too intelligent to blindly accept anything which does not have any facts or logic supporting it whatsoever, i.e. bullshit! And I am, unlike her, intelligent enough to realize that that is not an argument, *insert Stefan Molyneux meme here* :P, but really just her coming with an immature, substanceless, passive-aggressive quip, and holding on to a false assumption... the false assumption that the bullshit she argues for is actually true! And the typical resort of hers to that would be "You mean, falsely assuming your intelligence?", i.e. avoiding the main point... But the main point still stands! And she is still not making an argument... At this point, she would get so frustrated, and scream "But I am being objective! Do as I say!"... No, you're not! You're just reminding me of that Nazi-quote from Joseph Goebbels, who was the propaganda minister of Nazi Germany: "If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth."...
  411.  
  412. But most importantly, I was intelligent enough to begin reading books about manipulative people, and about assertive communication. Some of the books that I specifically read, and which I really recommend, are "In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People" by Dr. George K. Simon, Ph.D., and "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty" by Manuel J. Smith, Ph.D., so that I could efficiently name, identify and call out her underhanded, dishonest techniques! And one of the last retorts that she hurled at me before I decided to finally end my family relationship with her, was "Keep your theories to yourself!"... Except theories are how we deal with reality! And my so-called "theories" of her are based on what I read from the book by Dr. George K. Simon, Ph.D., a real, professional psychologist! And it shows that she has never been interested in having an honest dialogue, and gaining an understanding, but merely just concerned with coming up with "snarky, intelligent and snappy" replies... But by doing that, she just continued to provide further empirical evidence for my so-called "theories"!
  413.  
  414. But she, herself, never honestly grasped the whole truth about my intelligence, and its all-encompassing consequences, including the fact that I would eventually learn how to communicate and assert myself, getting better with the social, human, psychological, and emotional aspects of life, and also eventually overcome her, in the end! Because it is all just a form of knowledge, like any others, and can be learned, like any form of science! But again, just flattery from her side, and really nothing that she bothered to honestly grasp... Big mistake! Also a big mistake of hers: Assuming that intelligence is static! Far from it... and mine definitely expands constantly every single day! But to her, being the most shallow, superficial, and most stupid person that has ever existed, and barely even expanding her mind, intelligence may appear static! But again, that is just one of her favorite habits... projection!
  415.  
  416. But I do not wish death upon her... That would be too sparing to her! And she is more of a value to me alive, rather than dead. Because I don't really mind a nemesis, a challenge to overcome! It makes my life more interesting, and also makes me stronger. For her, life is enough of a punishment... and way more enduring one! And I am certain it will get much worse for her, given the growing influence of those aforementioned movements, formed as a backlash against her kind of despicable ilk. I am just here to add fuel to the flames! :P And I am not here to encourage any of you, on my behalf, to take any repercussive actions against her, either! I am just here to warn you before you make the very unfortunate life decision of starting to associate with her, and only advise you to simply just ignore her. That will be enough of a punishment, given her being the fundamentally insecure dependent she is!
  417.  
  418. I hate my sister because I love my life! And she is both a threat to it and also wants to parasitize on it... Or rather, used to, but is not able to anymore! Since I gathered courage enough to get rid of her... And I have given her too many second chances by now, so you bet your ass that I will never forgive her! And she is the main reason why I used to have trust issues... I have a very hard time being able to feel love! It is not something I have felt very often throughout my whole life. Or being received with, for that matter! And I have never even been met with sympathy, or at least with understanding, for my great and enduring pain, either... Except from Ayn Rand, and her philosophy. Because the fact that I am an Objectivist, is the greatest "Fuck you!" to her, her worldview, what she fundamentally stands for and believe in, and everything that she loves and takes for granted!
  419.  
  420. So I choose to revoke my sanction of altruism and reject this death/slave morality... which has chained, enslaved, restrained and oppressed humanity through ages, and all of those noble individuals who dared to stand up against it! And I choose to fight for my life and happiness... Alone, if so be it! Because I have the philosophical might and courage now, and no one can stop me... whatever they will do to me!
  421.  
  422. And I am going to finish here with the following quotes:
  423.  
  424. "I thought that any human being who accepts the help of another, knows that good will is the giver's only motive and that good will is the payment he owes in return. But I see that I was wrong. You were getting your food unearned and you concluded that affection did not have to be earned, either. You concluded that I was the safest person in the world for you to spit on, precisely because I held you by the throat. You concluded that I wouldn't want to remind you of it and that I would be tied by the fear of hurting your feelings. All right, let's get it straight: you're an object of charity who's exhausted his credit long ago." - Ayn Rand

  426. "Even though altruism declares that “it is more blessed to give than to receive,” it does not work that way in practice. The givers are never blessed; the more they give, the more is demanded of them; complaints, reproaches and insults are the only response they get for practicing altruism’s virtues (or for their actual virtues). Altruism cannot permit a recognition of virtue; it cannot permit self-esteem or moral innocence. Guilt is altruism’s stock in trade, and the inducing of guilt is its only means of self-perpetuation. If the giver is not kept under a torrent of degrading, demeaning accusations, he might take a look around and put an end to the self-sacrificing. Altruists are concerned only with those who suffer—not with those who provide relief from suffering, not even enough to care whether they are able to survive. When no actual suffering can be found, the altruists are compelled to invent or manufacture it." - Ayn Rand
  427.  
  428. "Then I saw what was wrong with the world, I saw what destroyed men and nations, and where the battle for life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an inverted morality—and that my sanction was its only power. I saw that evil was impotent—that evil was the irrational, the blind, the anti-real—and that the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it. Just as the parasites around me were proclaiming their helpless dependence on my mind and were expecting me voluntarily to accept a slavery they had no power to enforce, just as they were counting on my self-immolation to provide them with the means of their plan—so throughout the world and throughout men’s history, in every version and form, from the extortions of loafing relatives to the atrocities of collectivized countries, it is the good, the able, the men of reason, who act as their own destroyers, who transfuse to evil the blood of their virtue and let evil transmit to them the poison of destruction, thus gaining for evil the power of survival, and for their own values—the impotence of death. I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win—and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was “No.”" - Ayn Rand
  429.  
  430. "All your life, you have heard yourself denounced, not for your faults, but for your greatest virtues. You have been hated, not for your mistakes, but for your achievements. You have been scorned for all those qualities of character which are your highest pride. You have been called selfish for the courage of acting on your own judgment and bearing sole responsibility for your own life. You have been called arrogant for your independent mind. You have been called cruel for your unyielding integrity. You have been called anti-social for the vision that made you venture upon undiscovered roads." - Ayn Rand

  463.  
  464. Reviews, what other people think of me, and what they have said to me:
  465.  
  466. [Me: I don't drink, that is for Unter... uhmmm, I mean, for simple-minded men to enjoy!]
  467. Right, that. He is too busy with Nietzsche to drink! He is too busy with secretly getting sexually aroused by Nietzsche's moustache to be able to indulge in everyday pleasures!
  468. [Me: I admit it! I also secretly get sexually aroused by Rand's butch haircut!]
  469. ― Edvard "Untermensch pleb-tier F-are CAS-Edvard" Lindelöf
  470.  
  471. [Me: But c'mon! You should take a photo of yourself. I mean, you're not hiding from the government or the CIA, or something like that? You haven't stolen any top-classified, high-security secrets that you are going to hand over to the underground Nazis, right? ;P (Of course, if you actually did that, why would you ever admit that?)]
  472. I have no comments on that :X
  473. ― Stefan "Herr SS, mein deutscher Freund" Schulte, my buddy that I collaborated with in my Computational Physics course. He is not really a fascist or national socialist, or something like that... But his initials do actually happen to spell out "SS"! :P
  474.  
  475. *something about QED, QCD, quantization, renormalization, and path integrals*
  476. [Me: Alright, that sounds very fancy. Words that you can brag around [with]!]
  477. yes, it's only about the words: dimensional regularization, Pauli-Villars ghost particles, stuff like that!
  478. [Me: Yes! Even more words! That will make all the ladies' pussy wet! >P]
  479. definitely
  480. ― "Herr SS, mein deutscher Freund" again.
  481.  
  482. [Me: Bro ;* *emoji with two bros, kissing* *hand gesture pointing to the right* *"Ok" hand gesture*]
  483. No
  484. ― Márton Zuccos, some Ancapistani that daily broposts and hands out "Bro" to anyone who comments "Bro" to him, or so he claims... But he is clearly engaging in fraud here, and thus violating the NAP! So not bro, bro! :'( </3
  485.  
  486. [Me: You have a very beautiful moustache, I must say! Also, I prefer ginger girls, but close enough anyway for me. ;) ;* 3:) xP]
  487. Hello Viet! I see, from your profile, that you have stated that you have a [high-functioning] autism, so I want to clarify two things:
  488. 1. A neurotypical person takes great offence when a complete stranger tries to start a conversation with an opening phrase containing (implicit, but here almost explicit) sexual content[...] Facebook is not a dating site, and your behavior would have barely been acceptable, even on Tinder.
  489. 2. You have sent more sexually explicit messages to one of my friends, and similar messages could have been classified as sexual harassment. Be smart enough, and do not contact strangers that way[...]
  490. [...later on in our conversation...]
  491. Ok, hmmm... I am convinced that certainly most women would react with revulsion to that kind of advances[...] (the woman in question finds one creepy, and won't give a good opinion about one in the future)[...]
  492. ― Kristofer Norström. In my defense... I simply could not resist his very beautiful and well-groomed ginger-moustache! :P
  493.  
  494. *removes me as a friend*
  495. ― An old childhood friend of mine, when getting proxy-triggered by the nicknames I have given to my other friends, even though those friends, who received their nicknames, found them absolutely hilarious. That is so typical of the intolerance and close-mindedness from those who claim to be "tolerant and open-minded"! To be honest, I don't really have that much of a regard for those kind of people... They can continue to feel cognitive dissonance without me, for all I care! Also, I refer back to the part about political correctness.
  496.  
  497. *playing stupid*
  498. ― That blonde German (Dutch?) girl with really kind-looking eyes (and who initially seemed like a thoughtful, kind and very introverted girl to me), and the very first girl that ever I tried to cold-approach, when I honestly wrote to her what I felt for her and tried to explain the situation to her, after that I tried to cold-approach her... Actually, I did not really want a relationship back then and tried to repress my initial feelings of attraction to her, but realized that I could not continue to wage a war against my emotions... So I decided, for the first time in my life, to actually cold-approach a girl that I had a major crush on, and was kinda expecting that the social skills that I acquired from being a volunteer at Mattecentrum would help somewhat... But of course, since I never actually had any experience before with these kinds of situations, it unsurprisingly didn't go very well... We just sat there, completely silent, as two very shy and socially awkward introverts, who had no idea what to say to each other... So afterwards, I just panicked and pussied out rather humorously, in front of the whole class! xP So I thought that maybe writing a letter to her instead would be a better idea! But instead of giving me an honest and direct "yes" or "no" answer, she just played stupid (and I was very clear that I could deal with it and accept an eventual rejection)... which I do not find "cute" at all, but rather very disrespectful of her and not something a genuinely thoughtful and kind introvert would do (or so I think)... I was being honest to her, and I expected her to be honest back! And I had the courage enough to embarrass myself in front of the class and also exposed myself completely for her two times, at her mercy... and this is how I was met with?! That is like putting a dagger, of the sharpest kind, right into the middle of my chest! </3
  499.  
  500. *passive-aggressively ignores me*
  501. ― That petite ginger girl, and the second girl I tried to cold-approach at a second attempt (Is that even possible, to cold-approach the same person a second time?), after she realized I am a basement-dwelling virgin by my very shaky hand, when I was reaching it out for a handshake to introduce myself. To be honest, I think she is an 8/10, but her RBF and stuck-up attitude makes it drop down to a 5/10. Actually, my first impression of her was that she is probably a typical "hot girl with a rather lousy attitude", given her RBF, and probably not my type of girl, really... (although I have actually met hot girls that I've found genuinely attractive, the ones that are very open with themselves... In general, though, I do prefer cute girls over hot girls, because they tend to be the more thoughtful and introverted kind of girls!) Why I even bothered to cold-approach her, is way beyond me... Really, the only reason I did it was "Well, maybe I am unfair with my first impression of her... I mean, she is an aspiring theoretical physicist!". So I chose to cold-approach her anyway, simply because I wanted to know her better, out of sheer curiosity... And also, probably because of utter horniness and my weakness for gingers! xP And also, because I wanted to get rid of my approach anxiety for hot girls too, not just for cute girls! So anyway... At my first attempt with her, she seemed initially rather happy that I approached her, and we kinda had some kind of a conversation, unlike with the previous girl I cold-approached. But her conversation skills wasn't that much better, though, and I felt like I had to do most of the hard work, and that she mostly replied with rather low-effort answers... Mostly questions that just simply reflected back what I just asked about her, i.e. questions like "And what about you?". She seemed rather passive, and not very open or assertive with herself, either... But I thought that maybe she is not very much in a talking mood, called it for a day rather nervously, she gave me this very typical wide grin that girls usually do when they discover that "Oh my god, he is a virgin..." (which is actually not the first time that it has happened to me... It has actually happened to me quite some times before that, at some of the volunteer sessions, at instances when I got socially clumsy and stammered a bit with my speech... One thing that still bothers me, though, is why she even felt happy that I approached her in the beginning... I mean, I thought it was pretty obvious that I was a virgin and never even intended to hide that fact, given my attempt at the previous girl) and I left a rather lousy impression (which I wouldn't do, if she even bothered to put more effort on her side... I mean, the conversation ended with me telling what master program I was taking, followed by a rather awkward silence, with me wondering if she is going ask any question about it or anything else about me... And if she would ask why I am taking it, I would have actually replied with something witty! But she did not bother to even shit test me, like e.g. "Oh, so you're taking Applied Physics? Why not Physics & Astronomy? You don't have the intellectual capability for that? You're an intellectual Untermensch? :P", or anything like that... which I also would reply with something witty!). So I tried for a second attempt at an another day... But I just got my first impression of her strengthened, rather than disproved! Because she just acted weirdly passive-aggressive, and only gave me very cold and terse answers, when I honestly just asked if everything is okay with her... These kinds of unpleasant and very frustrating experiences are one of the main reasons why "the Red Pill" is very alluring to impressionable young men nowadays! (I must admit, though, that I was before that time very deep into "the Red Pill", but were also at that time getting out of it... These kinds of experiences do not help, though! Nowadays, I do recognize it as sexist bullshit... however, there are still some certain truths in it, regarding modern dating, but on a merely practical level. If I would condense everything good from what I've read from the seduction community, the PUA community, and "the Red Pill", without the sexist language and generalize it so as to be applicable to both genders, I would summarize it into: 1. Express and develop your individuality. 2. Learn how to become comfortable with yourself and your emotions, and how to deal with your psychological issues (e.g. by introspection). 3. Take care of your body and appearance. 4. Learn how to communicate honestly and assertively. 5. Learn how to identify and call out manipulative people. 6. There is no "the Right One", only people that you are more and less compatible with. 7. Have fun!) But I do not really blame her that much, though, for that kind of behavior... Or rather, I can understand it, since a girl like her most certainly gets approached a lot! I still do not think that is a very good way to reject someone. (I, personally, would have accepted a "no".) On the other hand, I do have to admit that I find her very adorable, though, when she wears her glasses... almost as adorable as a 2D girl, and really triggers my schoolgirl-fetish! :P (But she is still 3D pig disgusting, and very much so!) But anyway, she doesn't seem to want to talk to me, though... But in some sense, that is still an answer, and an answer nonetheless! And she has most certainly, at this point, moved on way long time ago now... which I actually have to admit kinda sucks, honestly... I mean, I was so close to finally getting rid of my virginity! :'( :P

  505.  
  506. What do you want me to do?
  507. You say lots of Zen stuff, you know that?
  508. ― Billy "Min n***r 4 lyf" Niyomwungere, or my nigga 4 lyf! :P And I am currently trying to raise him into a PUA! Kinda like the blind leading the blind... Or rather, the blind leading the one-eyed man! Since, unlike me, he is not a virgin... :P

  513. Yeah, someone has to be! ;)
  514. [Me: Right, but as the utmost depraved human being that you are, how can even you be proud of yourself? :P]
  515. Mental illness, probably!

  518. Brofist on that?

  521. ― Nicklas Österbacka, my pet ENTP! :3 (Sorry, Rasmus J. Wirje! :P) He, Petter Rosander and I have video game nights, now and then! :)
  522.  
  523. So your whole worldview is because of a rebellion against your family? :P
  524. [Me: Haha, kinda! :P I mean, you can easily ignore and avoid the idiocy of other people (with the exception of politics, by the politicians they vote in). But the idiocy of my family, I was forced to stand with 24/7.]
  525. ― My pet ENTP again.
  526.  
  527. Selfish, egotist, egocentric, arrogant know-it-all, stubborn, immature kiddo, judgmental, insecure, insensitive and emotionless robot.
  528. ― My sister, and my lifelong ESFJ nemesis, what she has said and thought about me throughout my life, essentially... And I think of her as: shallow, vapid, empty, superficial, simple-minded, short-sighted, emotional, petty, small-minded, stupid and ignorant beyond belief, yet still condescending, hypocritical, self-unaware, disrespectful, entitled, ingrate, parasite, emotionally manipulative, passive-aggressive, compulsive liar, fake, people-pleasing, backstabbing, social-status whoring, dependent, hiveminded, close-minded groupthinker, whim-worshipping, intellectually dishonest and vacuous, spiritually promiscuous and morally devoid, fundamentally insecure, regressive leftist fascist, altruist-collectivist scum, low-quality, high-maintenance, solipsistic, queen bee, basic bitch bimbo, with a major case of princess complex, and with feelings of huge envy for my rightfully earned sense of intellectual and moral superiority... So her opinion is moot! Fucking #UntermenschOfWomankindESFJThotCancer...
  529.  
  530. Happy Midsummer, Viet! :)
  531. ― Malin "Malin, you're in Peru now! - PewDiePie Remix" Saverud, a very thoughtful and kind emo girl, and was my first, real crush! She found somebody else, though... But I got over my jealousy, and it's all in the past now. We are still in contact though, and are great friends now! #SaveMalinSaverud

  669. “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
  670. ― Hunter S. Thompson

  672. “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

  717. “The majority of men prefer delusion to truth. It soothes. It is easy to grasp. Above all, it fits more snugly than the truth into a universe of false appearances—of complex and irrational phenomena, defectively grasped. But though an idea that is true is thus not likely to prevail, an idea that is attacked enjoys a great advantage. The evidence behind it is now supported by sympathy, the sporting instinct, sentimentality—and sentimentality is as powerful as an army with banners. One never hears of a martyr in history whose notions are seriously disputed today. The forgotten ideas are those of the men who put them forward soberly and quietly, hoping fatuously that they would conquer by the force of their truth; these are the ideas that we now struggle to rediscover.”
  718. ― H.L. Mencken
  719.  
  720. “Indeed it may be said with some confidence that the average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. There are moments when his cogitations are relatively more respectable than usual, but even at their climaxes they never reach anything properly describable as the level of serious thought. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of clichés. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over eighty per cent. of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought. That is to say, they never think anything that has not been thought before and by thousands.”
  721. ― H.L. Mencken
  722.  
  723. “One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected... [This] convention protects them, and so they proceed with their blather unwhipped and almost unmolested, to the great damage of common sense and common decency. that they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly. Nor is there any visible intellectual dignity in theologians. Few of them know anything that is worth knowing, and not many of them are even honest.”

  738. “The kind of man who wants the government to adopt and enforce his ideas is always the kind of man whose ideas are idiotic.”
  739. ― H.L. Mencken
  740.  
  741. “The state — or, to make matters more concrete, the government — consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get, and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting ‘A’ to satisfy ‘B’. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advanced auction on stolen goods.”
  742. ― H.L. Mencken
  743.  
  744. “All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.”
  745. ― H.L. Mencken
  746.  
  747. “Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

  751. ― H.L. Mencken
  752.  
  753. “Democracy is grounded upon so childish a complex of fallacies that they must be protected by a rigid system of taboos, else even halfwits would argue it to pieces. Its first concern must be to penalize the free play of ideas.”
  754. ― H.L. Mencken
  755.  
  756. “My belief in free speech is so profound that I am seldom tempted to deny it to the other fellow. Nor do I make any effort to differentiate between the other fellow right and that other fellow wrong, for I am convinced that free speech is worth nothing unless it includes a full franchise to be foolish and even... malicious.”
  757. ― H.L. Mencken
  758.  
  759. “I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air—that progress made under the shadow of the policeman’s club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave... In any dispute between a citizen and the government, it is my instinct to side with the citizen... I am against all efforts to make men virtuous by law.”
  760. ― H.L. Mencken
  761.  
  762. “In the present case it is a little inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible to any public office of trust or profit in the Republic. But I do not repine, for I am a subject of it only by force of arms.”
  763. ― H.L. Mencken
  764.  
  765. “The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.”
  766. ― H.L. Mencken
  767.  
  768. “School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, brutal violations of common sense and common decency. It doesn't take a reasonably bright boy long to discover that most of what is rammed into him is nonsense, and that no one really cares very much whether he learns it or not.”
  769. ― H.L. Mencken
  770.  
  771. “The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.”
  772. ― H.L. Mencken
  773.  
  774. “The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make 'good' citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens.”

  781. ― H.L. Mencken
  782.  
  783. “The average newspaper, especially of the better sort, has the intelligence of a hillbilly evangelist, the courage of a rat, the fairness of a prohibitionist boob-jumper, the information of a high school janitor, the taste of a designer of celluloid valentines, and the honor of a police-station lawyer.”

  828. “Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. Animals obtain food by force. Man had no claws, no fangs, no horns, no great strength of muscle. He must plant his food or hunt it. To plant, he needs a process of thought. To hunt, he needs weapons, and to make weapons ― a process of thought. From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and we have comes from a single attribute of man ― the function of his reasoning mind.”
  829. ― Ayn Rand
  830.  
  831. “Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.”
  832. ― Ayn Rand
  833.  
  834. “As a human being, you have no choice about the fact that you need a philosophy. Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously logical deliberation—or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance, but integrated by your subconscious into a kind of mongrel philosophy and fused into a single, solid weight: self-doubt, like a ball and chain in the place where your mind’s wings should have grown.”
  835. ― Ayn Rand
  836.  
  837. “The men who are not interested in philosophy need it most urgently: they are most helplessly in its power.
  838.  
  839. The men who are not interested in philosophy absorb its principles from the cultural atmosphere around them—from schools, colleges, books, magazines, newspapers, movies, television, etc. Who sets the tone of a culture? A small handful of men: the philosophers. Others follow their lead, either by conviction or by default.”
  840. ― Ayn Rand
  841.  
  842. “Even though philosophy is held in a (today) well-earned contempt by the other college departments, it is philosophy that determines the nature and direction of all the other courses, because it is philosophy that formulates the principles of epistemology, i.e., the rules by which men are to acquire knowledge. The influence of the dominant philosophic theories permeates every other department, including the physical sciences.”
  843. ― Ayn Rand
  844.  
  845. “The present state of the world is not the proof of philosophy’s impotence, but the proof of philosophy’s power. It is philosophy that has brought men to this state—it is only philosophy that can lead them out.”

  848. “If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others, only their rational perception.”

  853.  
  854. “Place nothing above the verdict of your own mind.”
  855. ― Ayn Rand
  856.  
  857. “A “collective” mind does not exist. It is merely the sum of endless numbers of individual minds. If we have an endless number of individual minds who are weak, meek, submissive and impotent - who renounce their creative supremacy for the sake of the “whole” and accept humbly that the “whole’s” verdict ― we don’t get a collective super-brain. We get only the weak, meek, submissive and impotent collective mind.”
  858. ― Ayn Rand
  859.  
  860. “The man who refuses to judge, who neither agrees nor disagrees, who declares that there are no absolutes and believes that he escapes responsibility, is the man responsible for all the blood that is now spilled in the world. Reality is an absolute, existence is an absolute, a speck of dust is an absolute and so is a human life. Whether you live or die is an absolute. Whether you have a piece of bread or not, is an absolute. Whether you eat your bread or see it vanish into a looter's stomach, is an absolute.
  861.  
  862. There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromise is the transmitting rubber tube.”
  863. ― Ayn Rand
  864.  
  865. “Learn to distinguish the difference between errors of knowledge and breaches of morality. An error of knowledge is not a moral flaw, provided you are willing to correct it; only a mystic would judge human beings by the standard of an impossible, automatic omniscience. But a breach of morality is the conscious choice of an action you know to be evil, or a willful evasion of knowledge, a suspension of sight and of thought. That which you do not know, is not a moral charge against you; but that which you refuse to know, is an account of infamy growing in your soul. Make every allowance for errors of knowledge; do not forgive or accept any break of morality.”
  866. ― Ayn Rand
  867.  
  868. “The precept: “Judge not, that ye be not judged” . . . is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself.
  869.  
  870. There is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. To abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accessory to the torture and murder of his victims.
  871.  
  872. The moral principle to adopt in this issue, is: “Judge, and be prepared to be judged.””

  881. “I stand here on the summit of the mountain. I lift my head and I spread my arms. This, my body and spirit, this is the end of the quest. I wished to know the meaning of all things. I am the meaning. I wished to find a warrant for being. I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction. Neither am I the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a sacrifice on their alters.”

  883.  
  884. “The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt.”
  885. ― Ayn Rand
  886.  
  887. “All your life, you have heard yourself denounced, not for your faults, but for your greatest virtues. You have been hated, not for your mistakes, but for your achievements. You have been scorned for all those qualities of character which are your highest pride. You have been called selfish for the courage of acting on your own judgment and bearing sole responsibility for your own life. You have been called arrogant for your independent mind. You have been called cruel for your unyielding integrity. You have been called anti-social for the vision that made you venture upon undiscovered roads.”
  888. ― Ayn Rand
  889.  
  890. “Guilt is a rope that wears thin.”
  891. ― Ayn Rand
  892.  
  893. “I refuse to accept as guilt the fact of my own existence and the fact that I must work in order to support it. I refuse to accept as guilt the fact that I am able to do it and to do it well. I refuse to accept as guilt the fact that I am able to do it better than most people - the fact that my work is of greater value than the work of my neighbors and that more men are willing to pay me. I refuse to apologize for my ability ―I refuse to apologize for my success ― I refuse to apologize for my money. If this is evil, make the most of it. If this is what the public finds harmful to its interests, let the public destroy me. This is my code ― and I will accept no other.”
  894. ― Ayn Rand
  895.  
  896. “I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.”

  899. “No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.”
  900. ― Ayn Rand
  901.  
  902. “The man who attempts to live for others is a dependent. He is a parasite in motive and makes parasites of those he serves. The relationship produces nothing but mutual corruption. It is impossible in concept. The nearest approach to it in reality ― the man who lives to serve others ― is the slave. If physical slavery is repulsive, how much more repulsive is the concept of servility of the spirit. The conquered slave has a vestige of honor. He has the merit of having resisted and of considering his condition evil. But the man who enslaves himself voluntarily in the name of love is the basest of creatures. He degrades the dignity of man, and he degrades the conception of love. But that is the essence of altruism.”
  903. ― Ayn Rand
  904.  
  905. “People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked... The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on... There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.”

  908. “A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue.”
  909. ― Ayn Rand
  910.  
  911. “Altruism holds death as its ultimate goal and standard of value.”
  912. ― Ayn Rand
  913.  
  914. “Now there is one word—a single word—which can blast the morality of altruism out of existence and which it cannot withstand—the word: “Why?” Why must man live for the sake of others? Why must he be a sacrificial animal? Why is that the good? There is no earthly reason for it—and, ladies and gentlemen, in the whole history of philosophy no earthly reason has ever been given.
  915.  
  916. It is only mysticism that can permit moralists to get away with it. It was mysticism, the unearthly, the supernatural, the irrational that has always been called upon to justify it—or, to be exact, to escape the necessity of justification. One does not justify the irrational, one just takes it on faith. What most moralists—and few of their victims—realize is that reason and altruism are incompatible.”
  917. ― Ayn Rand
  918.  
  919. “Why is it moral to serve the happiness of others, but not your own? If enjoyment is a value, why is it moral when experienced by others, but immoral when experienced by you? If the sensation of eating a cake is a value, why is it an immoral indulgence in your stomach, but a moral goal for you to achieve in the stomach of others? Why is it immoral for you to desire, but moral for others to do so? Why is it immoral to produce a value and keep it, but moral to give it away? And if it is not moral for you to keep a value, why is it moral for others to accept it? If you are selfless and virtuous when you give it, are they not selfish and vicious when they take it? Does virtue consist of serving vice? Is the moral purpose of those who are good, self-immolation for the sake of those who are evil?”
  920. ― Ayn Rand
  921.  
  922. “Even though altruism declares that “it is more blessed to give than to receive,” it does not work that way in practice. The givers are never blessed; the more they give, the more is demanded of them; complaints, reproaches and insults are the only response they get for practicing altruism’s virtues (or for their actual virtues). Altruism cannot permit a recognition of virtue; it cannot permit self-esteem or moral innocence. Guilt is altruism’s stock in trade, and the inducing of guilt is its only means of self-perpetuation. If the giver is not kept under a torrent of degrading, demeaning accusations, he might take a look around and put an end to the self-sacrificing. Altruists are concerned only with those who suffer—not with those who provide relief from suffering, not even enough to care whether they are able to survive. When no actual suffering can be found, the altruists are compelled to invent or manufacture it.”
  923. ― Ayn Rand
  924.  
  925. “It is your mind that they want you to surrender—all those who preach the creed of sacrifice, whatever their tags or their motives, whether they demand it for the sake of your soul or of your body, whether they promise you another life in heaven or a full stomach on this earth. Those who start by saying: “It is selfish to pursue your own wishes, you must sacrifice them to the wishes of others”—end up by saying: “It is selfish to uphold your convictions, you must sacrifice them to the convictions of others.””
  926. ― Ayn Rand
  927.  
  928. “The social system based on and consonant with the altruist morality—with the code of self-sacrifice—is socialism, in all or any of its variants: fascism, Nazism, communism. All of them treat man as a sacrificial animal to be immolated for the benefit of the group, the tribe, the society, the state. Soviet Russia is the ultimate result, the final product, the full, consistent embodiment of the altruist morality in practice; it represents the only way that that morality can ever be practiced.”
  929. ― Ayn Rand
  930.  
  931. “America’s inner contradiction was the altruist-collectivist ethics. Altruism is incompatible with freedom, with capitalism and with individual rights. One cannot combine the pursuit of happiness with the moral status of a sacrificial animal.”
  932. ― Ayn Rand
  933.  
  934.  
  935. “The injunction “don’t judge” is the ultimate climax of the altruist morality which, today, can be seen in its naked essence. When men plead for forgiveness, for the nameless, cosmic forgiveness of an unconfessed evil, when they react with instantaneous compassion to any guilt, to the perpetrators of any atrocity, while turning away indifferently from the bleeding bodies of the victims and the innocent—one may see the actual purpose, motive and psychological appeal of the altruist code. When these same compassionate men turn with snarling hatred upon anyone who pronounces moral judgments, when they scream that the only evil is the determination to fight against evil—one may see the kind of moral blank check that the altruist morality hands out.”
  936. ― Ayn Rand
  937.  
  938. “Then I saw what was wrong with the world, I saw what destroyed men and nations, and where the battle for life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an inverted morality—and that my sanction was its only power. I saw that evil was impotent—that evil was the irrational, the blind, the anti-real—and that the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it. Just as the parasites around me were proclaiming their helpless dependence on my mind and were expecting me voluntarily to accept a slavery they had no power to enforce, just as they were counting on my self-immolation to provide them with the means of their plan—so throughout the world and throughout men’s history, in every version and form, from the extortions of loafing relatives to the atrocities of collectivized countries, it is the good, the able, the men of reason, who act as their own destroyers, who transfuse to evil the blood of their virtue and let evil transmit to them the poison of destruction, thus gaining for evil the power of survival, and for their own values—the impotence of death. I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win—and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was “No.””
  939. ― Ayn Rand
  940.  
  941. “Listen to what is being preached today. Look at everyone around us. You've wondered why they suffer, why they seek happiness and never find it. If any man stopped and asked himself whether he's ever held a truly personal desire, he'd find the answer. He'd see that all his wishes, his efforts, his dreams, his ambitions are motivated by other men. He's not really struggling even for material wealth, but for the second-hander's delusion ― prestige. A stamp of approval, not his own. He can find no joy in the struggle and no joy when he has succeeded. He can't say about a single thing: 'This is what I wanted because I wanted it, not because it made my neighbors gape at me'. Then he wonders why he's unhappy.”
  942. ― Ayn Rand
  943.  
  944. “Observe what this beneficiary-criterion of [the altruist] morality does to a man’s life. The first thing he learns is that morality is his enemy: he has nothing to gain from it, he can only lose; self-inflicted loss, self-inflicted pain and the gray, debilitating pall of an incomprehensible duty is all that he can expect. He may hope that others might occasionally sacrifice themselves for his benefit, as he grudgingly sacrifices himself for theirs, but he knows that the relationship will bring mutual resentment, not pleasure-and that, morally, their pursuit of values will be like an exchange of unwanted, unchosen Christmas presents, which neither is morally permitted to buy for himself. Apart from such times as he manages to perform some act of self-sacrifice, he possesses no moral significance: morality takes no cognizance of him and has nothing to say to him for guidance in the crucial issues of his life; it is only his own personal, private, “selfish” life and, as such, it is regarded either as evil or, at best, amoral.”

  947. “The most depraved type of human being... (is) the man without a purpose.”
  948. ― Ayn Rand
  949.  
  950. “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received — hatred. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.”
  951. ― Ayn Rand
  952.  
  953. “I worship individuals for their highest possibilities as individuals and I loathe humanity for its failure to live up to these possibilities.”
  954. ― Ayn Rand
  955.  
  956. “To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul ― would you understand why that's much harder?”
  957. ― Ayn Rand
  958.  
  959. “It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence ― such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence.”
  960. ― Ayn Rand
  961.  
  962. “[As a child] I felt that I was imprisoned among dull people.”
  963. ― Ayn Rand
  964.  
  965. “Have you ever felt the longing for someone you could admire? For something, not to look down at, but up to?”
  966. ― Ayn Rand
  967.  
  968. “That love is reverence, and worship, and glory, and the upward glance. Not a bandage for dirty sores. But they don’t know it. Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones who’ve never felt it. They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, contempt, and general indifference, and they call it love. Once you’ve felt what it means to love as you and I know it ― the total passion for the total height ― you’re incapable of anything less.”
  969. ― Ayn Rand
  970.  
  971. “When you are asked to love everybody indiscriminately, that is to love people without any standard, to love them regardless of whether they have any value or virtue, you are asked to love nobody.”
  972. ― Ayn Rand
  973.  
  974. “To say ‘I love you’ one must first know how to say the ‘I.’ The meaning of the ‘I’ is an independent, self-sufficient entity that does not exist for the sake of any other person. A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.”
  975. ― Ayn Rand
  976.  
  977. “When you are in love, it means that the person you love is of great personal, selfish importance to you and to your life. If you were selfless, it would have to mean that you derive no personal pleasure or happiness from the company and the existence of the person you love, and that you are motivated only by self-sacrificial pity for that person's need of you. I don't have to point out to you that no one would be flattered by, nor would accept, a concept of that kind. Love is not self-sacrifice, but the most profound assertion of your own needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person.”
  978. ― Ayn Rand
  979.  
  980. “Love, friendship, respect, admiration are the emotional response of one man to the virtues of another, the spiritual payment given in exchange for the personal, selfish pleasure which one man derives from the virtues of another man’s character. Only a brute or an altruist would claim that the appreciation of another person’s virtues is an act of selflessness, that as far as one’s own selfish interest and pleasure are concerned, it makes no difference whether one deals with a genius or a fool, whether one meets a hero or a thug, whether one marries an ideal woman or a slut.”
  981. ― Ayn Rand
  982.  
  983. “To love is to value. Only a rationally selfish man, a man of self-esteem, is capable of love—because he is the only man capable of holding firm, consistent, uncompromising, unbetrayed values. The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.”
  984. ― Ayn Rand
  985.  
  986. “Romantic love, in the full sense of the term, is an emotion possible only to the man (or woman) of unbreached self-esteem: it is his response to his own highest values in the person of another—an integrated response of mind and body, of love and sexual desire. Such a man (or woman) is incapable of experiencing a sexual desire divorced from spiritual values.”
  987. ― Ayn Rand
  988.  
  989. “Like any other value, love is not a static quantity to be divided, but an unlimited response to be earned. The love for one friend is not a threat to the love for another, and neither is the love for the various members of one’s family, assuming they have earned it. The most exclusive form—romantic love—is not an issue of competition. If two men are in love with the same woman, what she feels for either of them is not determined by what she feels for the other and is not taken away from him. If she chooses one of them, the “loser” could not have had what the “winner” has earned.
  990.  
  991. It is only among the irrational, emotion-motivated persons, whose love is divorced from any standards of value, that chance rivalries, accidental conflicts and blind choices prevail. But then, whoever wins does not win much. Among the emotion-driven, neither love nor any other emotion has any meaning.”
  992. ― Ayn Rand
  993.  
  994. “Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a person's sexual choice is the result and sum of their fundamental convictions. Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life. Show me the person they sleep with and I will tell you their valuation of themselves. No matter what corruption they're taught about the virtue of selflessness, sex is the most profoundly selfish of all acts, an act which they cannot perform for any motive but their own enjoyment - just try to think of performing it in a spirit of selfless charity! - an act which is not possible in self-abasement, only in self-exultation, only on the confidence of being desired and being worthy of desire. It is an act that forces them to stand naked in spirit, as well as in body, and accept their real ego as their standard of value. They will always be attracted to the person who reflects their deepest vision of themselves, the person whose surrender permits them to experience - or to fake - a sense of self-esteem... Love is our response to our highest values - and can be nothing else.”

  1023.  
  1024. “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real... it is possible... it's yours.”
