- Seeking info on why the insane debate Zeleny rather than me on
- homosexuality. Perhaps the insane feel or know they will not be troubled to the
- depths of their rotten little souls by Zeleny's relatively narrow understanding
- of morality and philosophical psychology. But, hey!, the insane don't have the
- intellectual competence or courage to focus what is left of their minds on
- reality by means of ideas induced from a consistent, comprehensive, and basic
- focus on reality. Homosexuals have adjusted, with much skill and repression, to
- emotions and sensations derived from a lack of contact with our common, human,
- biological, heterosexual reality. The insane activists who lobbied the Am.
- Psychiatric Assoc. around 1970 were clearly aware of the importance of
- destroying knowledge. After all, they wanted scientists to ignore science for
- egalitarianism (rule of the losers). Homosexuals have also adjusted to the lack
- of rational philosophy by accepting the subjectivist call to regard emotions,
- images, and hallucinations as the context for their alleged reasoning. Should
- one adjust, for example, to a broken leg or to waiting until the last moment to
- put gas in one's car? Or rather, should one see a doctor and gas up when the
- tank is 1/4 filled? Should one adjust to reality or to emotions? should one
- adjust to a bad habit or break the habit? Should one develop character or
- personality as the more important psychological responsibility? Heterosexuals
- know, explicitly or implicitly, they are connected to biological reality. This
- is the context of their emotions. Homosexuals know they are connected only to
- somebody else's emotions. This is the context of their emotions. That's why they
- are "gay." It's either that or drug addiction and suicide. It is no accident
- that Hitler's first bodyguards, the SA (prior to the SS) were composed
- exclusively of Major Ernst Roehm's(?) merry band of homosexual drug addicts.
- What did these real Nazis know about homosexuality, Nazism, and their connection
- that our gaily liberated fools don't know? I'll bet no homosexual (short of the
- consciously depraved, like William Burroughs) wants to let Nazi homosexuality
- out of the clost. It would be...politically incorrect.
- I would appreciate the writer of a Dec. 19 e-mail to me posting his
- misunderstanding to this group <talk.philosophy.misc> so that it can be
- discussed by the group.
