    So what other mistakes did you possibly make? Well, here is one; OMGFacts.com didn't link the sources. You get "That page does not exist!" when you try to source the claims made at, what appears to be, an info-tainment site. Also here is another casual google result... http://modernfarmer.com/2014/03/pigheaded-smart-swine/

    Sorry dude-guy, but he makes very weak arguments and peppers it with blatantly false information. He is doing a disservice to his cause taking this approach...

    Sounds like he is doing slam poetry... "The problem is not with me and what I just said." And I am done with this video...

    Thanks man. I am using FL Studio, Cakewalk, and ProTools. The vocals, guitars and some drums are all live and all performed by me. Links to your music? Thanks again... https://soundcloud.com/angtta

    I don't think so. Like I said. The labels "true self" and "false self" are not very useful terms. So I just read it as "So being decisive, envious of others, and lacking the capacity to bond with others could be traits of somebody's self?" "Being true to one's self could also mean having difficulty to giving or receiving love, and dishonest?" Now this I would agree with. Being "true to yourself" can look like anything. If you are a dishonest person, then you are being "true" to that reality if you behave like that. I think if you recognize your tendencies, both good and bad, and seek self knowledge then you are being true to yourself. If your will and desire is to know your self. If your will and desire is, say, dishonesty. Then in that case if you behave dishonest you are being true to your self. Do you see? I am looking at this irrespective of actions, but with intent. If you are true towards your intent you are true to yourself. If your intent is positive or negative is peripheral to whether you are being true to your self. ​To me, the "True Self" is self knowledge. Not certain behaviors. But the act of perusing self knowledge, for good or bad, instead.

    It looks like a list of positive traits and behaviors, then, a list of negative ones. Comprehensive? maybe. Useful? I don't see how. Ok, all people have a pull towards both in different situations. I think my problem may be with "true/false self" label on the lists. I think the real "True Self" for everybody is the thing that discerns and chooses between the two lists and knows itself enough to know why. To call negative behavior "false" and positive behavior "true" is quite the misunderstanding as I see it. Someone could look at a tendency towards negative behavior as, "Oh, that is not the True Me". Well, yes it is. And until you accept it and understand why you did the negative thing(s) it will remain the "True You". Self knowledge is about working with yourself as you are and understanding the good and bad traits within yourself. It really seems like an invitation to bury and suppress and ignore negative behavior at the expense of self knowledge. Simply saying that somewhere inside every bad, "False Self," person is a "True Self" just waiting to get out just strikes me as a distraction from doing the work of self knowledge. It is almost reminiscent of souls, or of some form of static human nature. The whole thing just smacks of over-generalization and over-simplification. So, how you deal with your behavior, no matter what list it falls into, is the "True Self" in my estimation...

    You got it.

    I read the false self list and thought of times I was like that. Then, I read the True self List and thought of times I was like that as well. Interesting experience. Reminds me of reading the horoscope for my sign (and thinking it fits me), then, reading the horoscope of a few other signs (and thinking it also fits me).

    Interesting, I got 2 negs and no replies. I am really curious where I may have gone wrong here. Maybe I should put that in my sig? Just strikes me as kinda passive and unhelpful to throw around negs with no clarification. I don't think this is the place for that...

    RE: True Self vs. False Self lists. It reads a little like a horoscope to me. I read the false self list and thought of times I was like that. Then, I read the True self List and thought of times I was like that as well. Interesting experience. Reminds me of reading the horoscope for my sign, then, reading the horoscope of a few other signs. I think it points towards the spectrum of narcissism briefly covered in the Unmasking Narcissism video posted by Joel Patterson. Now wont you just tell me you love me? Please...

    I think I can make a counterpoint to this. Hopefully someone will let me know if my reasoning goes astray. In the instances where you interact with the state they do make you sign a "contract" of sorts. Yes, it is the state and it is coercive, yes, yes. But technically, on an interaction by interaction basis, you sign, maybe under duress, but non-the-less you sign off on things. Things like drivers license and tickets and tax forms and job applications and bank statements all kinds of things the state has its filthy claws on. Literally every interaction you officially have with the state the make you sign a "contract" or an agreement. And I know, "make" is the operative word in that last sentence. So, I get the place this is coming from and I get where you are going. But I am not sure this is the most efficient vehicle for this idea. So I reason that statements like "the state could ask for my signature" and " I have never agreed to follow the rules" are maybe invalid because the state literally does both those things, with coercion, for example when you get a drivers license. Maybe I am going all, "free man on the land" technical on this one. Maybe things are super different in Latvia .But I think the Original Post invokes those "free man on the land" type of themes and presuppositions.

    This just in, "Feminists are not exactly consistent"...

    For sure, thanks! Send me a PM and I can send you some beats. Presumably you can record vocals and send back the tracks and I can mix them?

    It was an old animation I found on the Prelinger archive. I think it is from the 20's. Thanks for listening..

    You can tell me it is terrible if that is how you feel. This is a safe place; but this silence is killing me...
