    Let me put this simply: The only way to DIRECTLY subjugate and make an aggressive person submit is with fire in the eyes and voice. The aggression of the Alpha Dog is the only direct way to achieve those ends. Otherwise, the active agent in the situation is merely the messenger of the Alpha Dog.

    Lol I laughed in my previous post for the same reason as this one: I'm laughing WITH you--not AT you. Honest. In this case, I couldn't resist reacting as though you had given me an ultimatum, and that this was an attempt at "mental manipulation" I started to write out a post more...

    From your world, as you say yourself. However, please be careful when using the epithet, BS. First, my world is just as real as yours. Secondly, your world isnt as stable as you apparently think it is. For the most part, I could agree that society pretty much goes on without...

    I am, by no means denigrating or otherwise downplaying women. To be absolutely honest, I'm not sure where and how you got any other idea from me. In fact, I believe in a way that women are superior to men. I see many men as being like neanderthals, and I'm not impressed, even if society...

    Lol Your point is well-taken. It's not the first time I've been challenged in this way. Maybe the best response I can offer is that it's a far greater challenge for those in society to cling to and pursue the idea of there being a Right and a Wrong way to see and handle life, how's that...

    Lol! I would assert that aggression is perhaps shown to be generally non-viable in a societal context. On that, we could potentially agree. But the facts of life beyond the context of the Matrix of Society are still unavoidably to be faced. To be a member of society first means...

    I'll have to look into that. Thank you

    "Defusing aggression" and letting "the other person punch himself into exhaustion" are at the very least misleading expressions. They generally connote the idea that the aggressor can be and/or has been manipulated into surrendering, and conversely, that talk and rationality are inherently...

    There is a difference between cause-and-effect in terms of winning over someone by being calm and rational, and, on the other hand, events following each other sequentially. In other words, the aggressor calming down is not because he or she has been "subdued in a fair fight". The nurse is not...

    Being very moral and concerned about right and wrong, in my opinion, is the province of individualists, rather than collectivists. True collectivists live in a self-referential context, rather than one tied to the ground beneath their feet. For them, talk basically rules the day over work and...

    I was providing a silly picture to try to clarify the point that aggression ALWAYS wins. There's no two ways about this. I understand that there are situations, like in a hospital, where a nurse calmly deals with an angry and aggressive person and then subsides, and that this is interpreted to...

    Okay, from the top: Indifference is the most chronically misunderstood state that is found in human beings, as even the word, "Indifference" suggests. That word is a "man-made" label attached to this state, betraying the biases of the humans who coined it. Let's take your first case...

    I have to be straight with you: How much of your picture of those who are Indifferent is simply informed by the culture? As for me, the truth of the cultural depiction of Indifferent people would be tested if an Indifferent person and an aggressive person were locked in a room together.

    I'll take that as a compliment. Without structure in the human, biological and physical world, there would be little incentive for working things out--and that includes for practical as well as profitable purposes, of course. I was minded by your response, to propose that individualism...
