  • Am a quarter into the book. Oh my… He is constantly contradicting himself (and forbids any form of critique – because it would be identifying oneself with the intellect). Heavy usage (abuse) of circular reasoning. Pointing out why [statement] is wrong and doesn't work is overruled by "You did not truly do […]"
    Calling evaluation/assessment the problem itself is a neat method to protect the own doctrine…

    …while protecting other habits (opinions) is just the intellect "protecting itself from getting identified/detected" in order to prevent enlightenment.

    Constantly attacking the reader ("it is just the reader who feels attacked and must overcome this to get on higher spiritual level"). You, identifying with your intellect, the not true self, are the problem.

    Any objection is invalid (saying this is wrong of course). Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi.

    We won't come to an agreement on that book, but I will read it till the end. I'd like to thank you for your recommendation. It is important to evaluate completely different points of view instead of insisting on the own opinion no matter what.

    I'm glad you feel compelled to read it to the end, even if it doesn't fit with your thinking and your way of being (your Weltanschauung ;)).
    It is very appreciable and praiseworthy that you want to understand, and that you want to confront a view that you do not share; it is a credit to you.^_^
    Anyway, best wishes for a happy new year.
    No matter how boring, or even worse painful it may be, the present moment is the only, true reality. Forget the past, don't anticipate the future with your imagination. Reside as much as possible in the "here and now"; stay grounded in it, and in the long run you will become strong, stable, resolute and confident...

    :)Merry Christmas to all users, tempers, gamers, hackers, developers, trolls, necroposters; to my straight, homo, trans and whatnot friends and to all the staff, and also to those who actually deserve a lecture, a spanking, or worse; hoping that the Christmas Spirit will give, especially to some, a little common sense, respect and love for others and extinguish their selfishness, frustration and pent-up anger.;)

    Stopped reading too early I guess.
    I always thought that GBATemp meant TEMPLE where the sacred GBA was worshipped; instead I am told that it comes from the less evocative and more prosaic term of TEMPORARY GBA. Alas, this is a bit of a disappointment ....one among many, to boot. :wtf:
    I just made the incredible discovery that KiVan, the founder of this site, studied in the same University of Milan as me and in the same period; he did technical studies while I did humanistic ones. 😁

    While I was breaking my back studying , he was playing, hidden in some dark room, with his friends with the first, rudimentary gba flashcarts and distributing online roms all over the world...I was so close to a living legend but unfortunately I never noticed anything...🤣

    Some people here, when it comes to trifles and silliness, come out of nowhere and pull off some of their best bullshit. Instead, in front of a serious fact or an user suffering that breaks in here, they look the other way and keep well away from it, as if it did not concern them....

    I was referring to the general atmosphere, not a particular fact. I'm mainly addressing some users...the ones who, after reading the first line, will yawn, will stop reading and will go back to playing, without thinking too much about it.

    Of course, I didn't mean to scare or threaten anyone.
    Mine was a benevolent, friendly slap, to awaken to the reality of life. To make it clear that without compassion, solidarity, togetherness and mutual cooperation, we will get nowhere. Advice from someone who is almost halfway there. 😉
    A direct confrontation, an explicit criticism or a blatant offense, are always better than that heartless, cowardly, underhanded and ill-concealed attack that is called indifference (or snobbism) and that most pretend not to see, tolerate or condemn in words but exercise (hypocritically) in fact. This is really about you. 🧐

    That emoji represents a "thinker of suspicion"; that's how we define Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud and other philosophers (mainly germans:wink:) who point out and criticize the socially prevalent hypocrisy and falsehood. :teach:
    Would someone please tell me how to set a custom banner when creating a group? This is a suggestion for the user who just created the Italian group.
    Then I'll take care of bringing that environment to life and livening up its atmosphere. ;)

    Nikokaro, before the old characters from the Pokémon world started their new adventures in Pokémon Chronicles, there’s a pilot episode of Pokémon chronicles called The legend of thunder. And it’s a three part episode. Besides, Johto Pokémon trainer Jimmy is a new character in the series.

    Nikokaro, I’m still waiting for some holiday music to arrive in November. Because I love Christmas music. And I even love to watch some holiday movies and shows in November. Speaking of that, what is your favorite holiday movie or special during Christmas?

    Nikokaro, have you part taken in watching Gnomeo and Juliet? It involves a war between the reds and blues after Juliet is in love with Gnomeo. And one of the blues ordered a super lawnmower from the internet by dancing.

    Nikokaro, Mario party superstars on the switch is finally here. And there’s five boards from the Nintendo64 Mario party games. In fact, there’s 100 mini games from the Mario party series. Plus, there’s Mt.Mini games. It’s a place where players can play mini games by surviving them.

    Think in all directions. Have memory. Compare experiences.
    You never know when you will desperately need your broad skills and knowledge.

    It is too late learning when the world is on fire.
    Nikokaro
    Nikokaro
    Are these your observations? Or are they from some writer? Fortunately, the world is not yet "on fire" (it was in the past, maybe it will be in the future) so there is still time to learn (for those few who still want to).
    Look who you brought to my mind; do you know him?

    Just observations. And pretty recent ones. Having memory for comparing news in analogue cases is vital for "fact checking" as the propaganda calls it. The big fire is nearer than you might imagine in your worst nightmare.

    Never wachted that show. My grandpa (†2008) did, and my mum watched the series sometimes (nowadays she doesn't because it seems Macgyver was filmed on professional video instead of 16mm film. It looks awful on modern screens (and we have one of the rare forgiving plasma TVs)

    Nikokaro, back in 2013, I just watched my favorite special, Jake’s never land rescue. It’s when pirate kid Jake must save never land from disappearing with help from the guardian of never land and a little, yellow light, who turns out to be Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
