Thugification continues (Orwellian composition)

Orwell Prize still down. Not sure if this is caused by lack of writing on part of Eric (his real first name) or disruption by life events.

Finding meditation on hustler mentality slowly allowing enough cognitive dissonance to shift perspectives. Weekend will buy Tims. Will also sell out to the image and get myself a line-up. Feel such is wasteful expenditure but recognize crucial part of transformation. Will have to discard perspective of Outer party and absorb mindset of proletariat. Will also contact cousin Kervin to schedule time to spend with him. Total absorption in mentality necessary for expedience.

Received comments yesterday on present enterprise. Found interesting that one of the commentators has habit of only writing when presented with something outlandish or completely outside of world view. Received comment that I am misogynistic due to perspectives that led to current enterprise. Then sent link to a rant of someone who themselves felt bitter or angry about men who may or may not have endured frustration dealing with the opposite gender. Studied article. Found article precluded men were in two categories. nice guys (lower case noted) who were self-esteemed stunted, socially inept and phobic individuals and "NICE" guys. Found the real core of the argument could be stripped down to see that both groups were the same people. Difference seemed to be that the author thought the later group only to be pretending at being nice guys. Examples actually seemed to show contempt and generalization she demonstrated to those she considered to be "nice" guys of either group. Article also had glaring hole in that it only gave examples of two groups. What were the men outside of the"nice" category to be labeled as? Anger eventually demonstrated a bitterness towards the passive aggressive tactics of the later group of nice guys.

Contemplated this concept of nice guy with friend. Concluded guys were not in two categories or in a spectrum. Appearance of Matrix emerged, an example of which being a Punnet Square. The Matrix of this argument offers us the dimensions of niceness by intelligence. Hence one of the entries of such matrix would be Nice Smart guy, and a second would be dumb jerk. Other extremes might be dumb nice guy or smart jerk. The article only presented us with a row vector of niceness precluding the dimension of jerks.

Philisophically speaking contemplated that perhaps the reason there is a discrepancy is that perhaps there aren't actually "NICE" guys, but jerks who've been socialized to reform into less hostile, passive aggressive men. What if they went back to the other nature? What would the implications be of such a situation? Being a behaviorist I acknowledge that our situations have a dramatic effect in shaping our personalities (soft determinism). Perhaps the greatest example of the exercise of the free will is the individual who, despite the inherent tendency (due to environmental factors) towards being a jerk, or towards being a sniveling (as stated in rap) pussy, reforms his character to become something that his experiance does not preclude him to be. Or, to take a more Nietzchean approach, perhaps the greatest applause should be reserved for the individual who, by the Will to Power, is able to stand atop the refuse of his life to achieve what he wants most. For some it may be a meaningful relationship, for others a plethora of one night stands. Perhaps this is the core of the argument. I am at the onset of the belief that those occasions of heartache, dissapointment and rejection should harden an individual, provide them an edge. It is not a premise for the softening of perspectives or attitudes. The author of the comment recommended article missed the true chance she had at appeal. It should not have devolved into a cornicopia of barbs and jabs at personal hygene (issues that should be a forgone conclusion). What should have been addressed is the fact that what nice guys term as "jerks" are those individuals who know what they want and go after and get it. They are the ubermenches that sieze their prize even if it be at the cost of societie's mores, or a woman's feelings and well being. While the passive aggressive "NICE" guys are playing with one hand tied behind their back (as I've heard it said), these others proceed with a refusal to put up with bull since they know that even their detractors are full of it too.

Was as always greatful to hear from bafabegiya . Find her posts and exploits in finding love and continuing friendship to be refreshing. Wish her well on journey. Hope she will possibly elaborate how she engaged in a similar engagement in the opposite direction.

Will henceforth trade in peacoat for bubble jacket and Dockers for baggy jeans. Worry has emerged concerning salvific implications of journey. Contemplation will proceed concerning this in future posts.

No Roaches.
