I ask you honestly, is there really any need to discuss or debate more after Cleveland's last post?

He said himself normal people are unable to understand, and hence he will not bother.

It's a disappointing post by a disappointed man, and it saddens me. I hoped this thread could prove he wasn't insane, or whatever people called him - but then you, Mr. Blakemore, take such a stance. It's alienating to everyone.

Jeff, I can not see any rationality in that last post of his. None.

Life is not so easy and simple as to divide people into ordinary and extra-ordinary. While genius certainly exists, and relativism is the beginning of all evil, the line can not be drawn like this.

I think much of it is the Anglo-Saxon (and obsessive compulsive Aspergers, for that matter...) tendency to have a hard time admitting you're wrong. British Bulldog syndrome. Once you've built an entire underground bunker, why not keep it up instead of accepting all your time as a waste? Hell, if I had a bunker in rural Australia, a sick part of me might want to welcome the apocalypse. :twisted:

I think he accomplished a lot by making the bunker, where being stubborn is helpful, but the whole genius Aspergers uberman belief really should go. ;)

No matter how many signs pop up (oil prices, corruption, decadence), watching a civilization fall apart is something you have to know how to see, and lots of people just aren't bright enough to see it, so they deny it. That's where ad hominem attacks pop up, and upset Cleve and drag him down to a lower level, which is unfortunate.

1. I suppose so. I get this place confused with Irontower sometimes. :P

2. I was more responding to Jasede in that one. If you never said that then I apologize.

3. I don't know. I guess this *is* some internet pwnage.. He looks just as retarded as most of those 1-liner posting people right now, in my opinion.

The person who says "You're wrong and you're a dumbfuck. Not that I care what you think anyways. I'm laughing my ass off talking to you because you sound so stupid. I don't care what you say, anyways, your mind can't understand me." is just as bad as the person who says "You're wrong and you're a dumbfuck."

They're both the same, one of them just has his [depleted uranium-plated] ego on the line.

Do you really believe Cleve is extraordinary man, Jas?
That would only indicate you'r lack of knowedge of people in general. I've met types like him in my life quite often. Most of them weren't so articulate about their views and were weak debaters, but the main essence of Cleve's views on life are absolutely the same.
Self promoting, self rightous dickheads, who are so sure about their enlightended state, that no one could brerak it even with the most solid and rational questioning.

Socrates wasn't kidding, when he said:
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
.

I can never take seriously people, who are so into their own imaginary world, that they wouldn't even try to refute other opinions by logic, instead making weak potshots and ad hominems (which, ironicly, some codex memebers were accused).

I've been involved in discussions about the themes at had with lots of people, as i'm quite interested in them, but Cleve is just not someone i would like to discuss anything with. He's on par with religious fanatic, who would run around your neighborhood and shout at you ''END IS NIGH''. Would you try to have a reasonable verbal discourse with that kind of a person?

Jasede often displays mathboy levels of silly beliefs, it's best not to dwell on it too much. He's just trying to flatter Cleve because he wants to get laid.

Jasede already recanted his statements. Look a few posts up. ^^^

I love you.






P.S.: On a lighter note, how do you pronounce Jasede's name?

Is it:


"Ya-seed"
"Ya-sey-dey"
"Ja-seed"
"Ja-sey-dey"

Or some other fucked up pronunciation?

No, I do not believe he is extra-ordinary. Not after that last post. I am a very naive lad, and will usually try to look for the best in people, but I think after his last post, there is no need to continue debate in either direction.

It will bear no fruit.

Just go to the general forum and you'll see signs of Western civilization's decline. The most recent winnar is a guy who had 7 kids with his daughter. Then there are the guys who listen to punk rock and read "erotic" web comics and think it's entertainment. There's an "activist" offering free sex to internet virgins.

Come on. This shit wouldn't have happened 50 years ago. There's practically no proof needed to see that things are going downhill fast, just open your damn eyes.

Higher Game, I do not think anyone is contesting that, and if they do, I invite them to listen to the kids in a public school for ten minutes.

Funny, that, I worked for the government writing simulations and Australia is frequently called the hub of the third world war. Amerikwa has converted it into it's communications, supply and support carrier in the Pacific. Rest assured, the average IQ in Australia is 98 and the average IQ in China is 106. That's a full derivation. The intellectual gulf between Chinese people and Australian people is actually larger now than the gulf between the average Australian and Koko the Sign Language Gorilla. Chinese people are not stupid. When the third world war starts, our skies are going to be full of nuclear tipped cruise missiles as thick as the arrows fired by the Persians in that movie "300."

Remember, when every new war breaks out, those found invariably on the losing side always turn out to have made preparations to fight the prior war, not the new one. Amerikwa and Australia have this very problem. They're well equipped to fight World War II. Unfortunately this is World War III.

It would be really stupid of them to attack australia with nukes, and even if they did they could flatten every military target and 'major city' in Australia and the fallout out in the middle of nowhere would be negligible. It's the biggest and least well defended place on the earth. If they did start a war its likely goal would be to seize new zealand and australia as colonies. I doubt they ever would, though. Russia would have been able to come out ahead in a nuclear war if it were less disorganized, but china is to small, its population desnity too high, and too dependent on the outside for resources. Even in a coventional war with the US they would be obliterated with hundreds of millions killed before the US ever landed any troops (if they ever bothered to).

At least I have to respect that he made himself a bunker and might get to play Fallout in real life one day, instead of only complaining about things. The whole genetic superiority thing alone is what makes him embarrassing. People made shelters all the time in the Cold War. Just because there are so many fools out there today doesn't make him a genius, and a little humility would help out him out.

You're absolutely right. Back then there was absolutely no incest, people sure as hell didn't buy under the counter porn and old farts did not have to complain about crummy music like rock and roll. You are so far out of reality that it's scary. Go make a bunker, it's all the craze these days.

I think the difference is that today, these things have become acceptable in society. I see couples kissing each other in disgusting ways on the escalators; see kids kicking over trashcans (without anyone complaining) and have to endure how my mother tongue is ravaged by eight-year olds that seem to swear every second word and think violence is the answer to every problem.

You're right, I don't know if it was better in the past - maybe it wasn't. But it certainly seems a lot worse than what I remember of ten years ago.

There have always been serial killers and lunatics, but before scotland yard came along and the police finally became organized and at least somewhat honest and open about crimes instead of covering them up or explaining them all as runaways none of them ever came into general knowledge.

Dear Jasede,

The reason these things go on is because you don't do anything about it. There's nothing mysterious about social change, most people are like you and keep their thoughts to themselves (except on message boards where they moan about "decline"), nobody interrupts the couple kissing, or calls the cops on the skateboarding kids or tells off the mothers of foul-mouthed youths. The result is that those things becomes socially acceptable through your own inaction.

Conclusion: you just like to moan and you "moral purity" whiners are the true degenerates.

The problem isn't only just the lunatics and incestuous freaks, though, it's what has changed for average people. Even 50 years ago, popular musicians often had jazz, blues, gospel, and other more respectable backgrounds, and they were interesting in making catchy (if mindless) tunes without trying to shove ideology down your throat. Porn then was more like what is called erotica today, resembling more of a simulation than a degradation of sex. Kids then weren't dressing like tramps at age 13. Hell, look at how many people wore nice suits and dresses back then compared to today, from watching old films. There was just more dignity.

Well I finally went back and read the *entire* thread, and all of Cleve's posts:

- He has the potential to be a very well-spoken guy, but he trips all over himself the moment he starts aimlessly insulting everyone.

- He knows how to type a shitload of text to a comparably small argument. Again, this just makes him look like an idiot, not the other way around. Why respond to these lesser beings? I would probably agree with him about half these people if he didn't show obvious attachment to them.

- He doesn't know how to KISS. This may be from his (alleged) Asperger's or his internet knowledge. Most of his arguments are not actually that complex, but use a lot of text to convey a fairly basic point.

- He's an opinionated man, with no respect for logic or free thinking. Ironically, much like the Amerikwans he seeks to criticize.

- He's very good at the internet, both because he refuses to KISS and because he is not bogged down by logic. Again, ironically, considering he frequently insults these 4chan-minor noobs for doing the same thing as him. In fact, that hypocrisy only makes him BETTER at the internet.

- He's an embarrassment to Asperger's/Autistic people. Most people I know of Aspies forums are the exact opposite of him, free-thinkers, not bogged down by human emotions and desire when discussing things.

- He has some genuinely correct views about the world. -But he doesn't know how to realize the difference between the real world and generalizations of the real world. This gets mixed in with his innate pride and arrogance, and produces some genuine bullshit.

- He has an inherent hostility towards people. He reminds me of my 12 year old self, always looking at things in absolutes. You're either smart or dumb, right or wrong, good or bad, great or lesser. I used to be the same way, so convinced that every problem had some ultimate answer that was beyond everyone, and absolutely refusing to live life "in the now".

- He managed to make a 20 page thread about himself, e-fame achieved. Encyclopedia Dramatica page is not far behind.



(Disclaimer: These are just my observations and subsequent opinions. I've never seen much of this guy outside of an internet forum, and we all know that's no way to judge someone.)

sheek why are you so stupid? Do you just have this desire to be contrary, blaming things on the party quite obviously not responsible in order to look insightful or some bullshit like that? You do this on every single subject ever.

It's scary when even degenerate punks start to agree with ol' Cleve.

http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=TOPJ90FRZHI

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture
