I admire the man. A little tragic how he was made out to be a villain by the rest of Europe. Kind of makes me cry.

What is so interesting about her? She's got it all figured out in her little closed system spiritual fantasyland. Sure she understands people, what makes them tick, their urges and all of that but she uses that to sell her cognitive junk food. One of her patients committed suicide. The way she referred to the incident made it quite obvious she blamed the patient for not taking her advice, for not "trying" she didn't seem distraught at all, seemingly viewing this patient she had more as an object upon which to test the effects of her teaching than a complex human being.

I dunno, I find her fascinating as a phenomenon but as a person she seems rather cold, emotionally shallow, dead inside.. I dunno she gave me the creeps almost instantly. Nothing that she's said has been particularly profound either.

 

[nanook]

the way you devalue / find fault in people on many occasions is some sort of stereotypical ego thing of yours, perhaps it's the enneagram four being more special and noteworthy than everyone else or the seven being more clever and superior, with their typical disintegration into enneagram one. or is it full on one. why can't you just stop at noting the fact that she is easily more fascinating than 99 out of 100 random people. that's exactly what i do. be a constructive member of humanity. focus on the partial truth and value in sentient beings. (try)

 

[Cherry Cola]

Probably, I'm pretty sure I have some ego issues. Been told I'm too critical more than once. I did an enneagram test now and got 5w4.

She may be fascinating, but she's fascinating in the same way that films taken in concentration camps are. Fascinating like "I can't believe this shit.. this is wrong why can't people see it? This is evil going on". I guess what makes her interesting is the way she can present matters of intuition in a very concrete binary fashion, with all the steps in her chain of reasoning made apparent and traceable. But those are just communication skills.. that can't be it. I guess it's the Guru thing she got going on, wherein she crafts herself a persona, one that is obviously a front -so obviously that it hits you nigh instantly upon seeing one of her videos- everything is carefully calculated. More calculated than it has to be, she could pull it off without coming off as a narcissist but she doesn't, to me that means she is a narcissist. She just doesn't feel that she is enough, she has to be more. It's not rational because rationally she should be able to see that what she has is enough without the front.
Then it's the uncanny feeling as you gradually realize there doesn't really seem to be that much of a person behind this persona.

I can't stop at noting the fact that she is fascinating because I want to understand the why and how of it.

 

[Pizzabeak]

Any recommended works on Spinoza?

 

[Cherry Cola]

I ain't read any of his works. They are supposed to be pretty hard reads, I just read what other people wrote about him. Bertrand gave him a chapter in his history of western philosophy. Wikipedia has a good easy to grasp summary of his philosophy.

her face isn't very unique at all, though. easily more fascinating than perhaps 32 out of 100 random people.

 

[TheManBeyond]

am i fascinating?

 

[Brontosaurie]

you're easily in the upper 1,5 decadocodile of fascination

 

[Cherry Cola]

What's cool is the fact that you don't even to find fault in her, you see it instantly. Zap! And you know it. Try watching a random video of her preaching. The whole thing is fascinating, but her mind certainly isn't attractive in the least.

Nikola Tesla; I admire most his dedication to his ideals and ideas. Although he had some undesirable tendencies I believe some of those tendencies arose from a tired, betrayed man.
