Anti-Seducers come in many shapes and kinds, but almost all of them share a single attribute, the source of their repellence: insecurity. We are all insecure, and we suffer for it. Yet we are able to surmount these feelings at times; a seductive engagement can bring us out of our usual self-absorption, and to the degree that we seduce or are

The Eighteen Types (of Seducer's Victims)
1) The Reformed Rake or Siren:
People of this type were once happy-go lucky seducers who had their way with the opposite sex. But the day came when they were forced to give this up—someone corraled them into a relationship, they were encountering too much social hostility, they were getting older and

Let us say your goal is to sell yourself—as a personality, a trendsetter, a candidate for office. There are two ways to go: the hard sell (the direct approach) and the soft sell (the indirect approach). In the hard sell you state your case strongly and directly, explaining why your talents, your ideas, your political message are superior to anyone

An amoeba is closer to understanding than a computer, for it has some rudimentary sensation of feeling (e.g. it detects food).

There are two kinds of vision:
the seeing of things, which belongs
to the science of optics, versus
the seeing beyond things, which
results from deprivation. Man mocking the dark, rejecting worlds you do not know: though the dark
is full of obstacles, it is possible to have
intense awareness when the field is narrow
and the signals few. Night has bred in us
thought more focused than yours, if rudimentary:
man the ego, man imprisoned in the eye,
there is a path you cannot see, beyond the eye’s reach, what the philosophers have called
the via negativa: to make a place for light
the mystic shuts his eyes—illumination
of the kind he seeks destroys
creatures who depend on things.
Türkiye'nin evrensel değerlerle kucaklaşmasına, Türkiye'nin İslamî kalıntılardan, "rudiment'lerden kurtulmasına ramak kaldı. Bu keyifli kucaklaşmaya nefretle bakan ben kucaklaşanların keyfini kaçıracak şeyler yazmağa çalışıyorum. Kafirlerin kucaklaşmasını iğrenç buluyorum. Kucaklaşan her iki tarafi düşmanım belledim.

Schopenhauer ile benzer yönü
His philological and literary work earned him widespread fame at a young age. Yet he was always financially dependent on his parents—a benevolent but uncomprehending and rigidly conventional father and a withholding, judgmental mother (maternal imagery in Leopardi’s poetry is usually negative)

Darwin argues for the genesis of human language from rudimentary animal communication, thus echoing Herder’s belief that human speech has its origin in the imitation of natural sounds. Darwin “cannot doubt that language owes its origin to the imitation and modifications of various natural sounds, the voices of other animals, and man’s own instinctive cries, aided by signs and gestures.”

If we define a “primitive language” as something that resembles the rudimentary “me sleep here” type of English—a language with only a few hundred words and without the grammatical means of expressing any finer nuances—then it is a simple empirical fact that no natural language is primitive. Hundreds of languages of simple tribes have now been studied in depth, but not one of them, be it spoken by the most technologically and sartorially challenged people, is on the “me sleep here” level.
Bilindiği gibi cezaevi sistemi bireyle devlet arasında, arada hiçbir aracı olmadan, doğrudan muhataplık üzerine kurulmuş bir sistem. Böyle olduğu için tutsaklar her an devletin, devlet de her an tutsakların gerçek yüzünü görme şansına sahip oluyor. Otoriter devletlerin tümü için geçerli olan bu durumu ve tutsakların gözünden bu devletlerin görünme
