[quote]Hence you have to be able to either escape or fight back
(ie. not loll on the floor). Thank you for proving my
point.[/quote]
Not sure what you mean by this. I didn't learn to crawl in order
to fight or escape. I could've stayed on the floor if I wanted.
[quote]Yes, but I will never be grateful for losing my
innocence. That is what distinguishes me from those (a.k.a.
adults) who value maturity. Both adults and I have lost our
innocence, but they convince themselves that they have gained
from the process overall, whereas I do not.[/quote]
Innocence is the state of not being guilty or corrupt. If you've
lost your innocence, how can you be said to keep your Original
Nobility? Just because you half-heartedly value innocence? You
don't reject maturity, you embrace it. You admonish childhood
joys with your wise, learned disdain. How can I take you
seriously and regard you as a fellow kid unless you intend to
renounce maturity 100%?

"If you've lost your innocence, how can you be said to keep your
Original Nobility?"
Because I do not convince myself afterwards that losing my
innocence was a positive event.
"You don't reject maturity, you embrace it."
Those who embrace maturity say that losing their innocence
helped them grow up into who they are today and hence they are
glad it happened. I do not say this and have never said this.

Were this genuine you wouldn't accept losing your innocence. If
indulging in lamenting maturity is all "Original Nobility"
amounts to, it's far-fallen from any nobility I can recall
having.

Your core attitude to maturity is maturity. Millions of adults
wake up and begrudgingly resign themselves to the cruelty of
life every day. They might think they're woker than those who
embrace the rat race and circle of life unquestioningly, but
they have no real desire to rebel. What makes you any better?
Original Nobility is throwing tantrums. Not shedding crocodile
tears over the child you've sold for worldliness.

I don't think it is fair to say that this is all 90sRF does, at
all. The majority of posts here are not on the topic of
maturity, they are highlighting the violence in the world and
suggesting ideas to prevent further violence and seek justice
for the violence that has already occurred. I would say that
moving on (practically, not necessarily forgetting or forgiving)
and becoming more competent to make things happen is the
opposite of "indulging in lamenting".

Yes I do think it would be disingenuous for him to suggest all
Original Nobility means to him is lamenting the loss of
innocence (however 'actively' he does this); a tragedy without
heroism. Yet he has professed to want to perpetuate violence,
eternally, his idea of justice is merely revenge; outrage.
There's no light at the end of the tunnel, no purification or
resolution. At least none that I can fathom as the outcome of
his incurable captivation with evil.

"you wouldn't accept losing your innocence."
Back when I knew very little about this world, I innocently
assumed it was as I expected it to be. As I learned more about
this world, I discovered that it was nothing like what I
expected it to be. This discovery is the loss of innocence. How
do I "not accept" losing my innocence? By convincing myself that
the discovery is fake?
For example, before the age of 3, I innocently assumed that all
meat came from animals who had died of old age. At age 3, I
learned where meat actually came from. I lost my innocence about
meat. How would I "not accept" this, according to you? Should I
keep pretending that meat comes from animals who had died of old
age (and therefore keep eating it)?
"Original Nobility is throwing tantrums."
"his idea of justice is merely revenge; outrage."
Yes?

[quote]Yes, animals do practice revenge. Chimps do it, for
example. Macaques do it, too, although not directly: if they
cannot attack the offender because he is much stronger, they
would hurt someone weaker instead, sometimes the attacker’s
relative.
Also, there are many documented cases of wounded animals chasing
or ambushing their hunters in situations when it would be
obviously more reasonable for those animals to run away or hide.
Why they do it is unclear. In humans, revenge is usually an
irrational manifestation of our innate desire for justice, which
is also observed in many other primates and has evolved to
enable social cooperation. We always want to reward altruistic
behavior in others and punish them for excessive selfishness.
Some of animals known for revenge attacks on hunters are also
highly social (elephants, for example), but others are not
(bears, tigers etc.), so I don’t have a good explanation for
their behavior.[/quote]

An unjust world isn't morally or even logically coherent; it's
incompatible with truth. Self-deception would be believing evil
to be ultimately true, valid, or acceptable. If you believe this
lie, you will remain ever-infatuated with evil and never
actually defeat it. You don't need to deny your discovery the
world wasn't "how you expected", but you do need to reject the
spiritual implication that this somehow defiles your innocence.
[quote]"Original Nobility is throwing tantrums."
"his idea of justice is merely revenge; outrage."
Yes?[/quote]
Childish tantrums (sincere moral outrage) as opposed to
hubristic outrage. The former arises from a candid inability to
accept the proposed conditions of reality; whereas you're
willing to accept them, you just seek catharsis and affected
superiority.
Barking at your slavemaster and making his life a living hell
doesn't actually change anything. Sharpen your blade and kill
the fucker.

Since you define "justice" as "revenge", all you're saying is
"revenge is usually an irrational manifestation of our innate
desire for revenge"
[quote]We always want to reward altruistic behavior in others
and punish them for excessive selfishness.[/quote]
Humans reward altruistic behaviours because it benefits them,
which in turn promotes self-serving generosity instead of
altruism. Altruism doesn't need to be rewarded; only enabled.
Humans punish selfish behaviour when it threatens their own
selfish interests (this is probably what the site defines as
"excessive" selfishness), which in turn promotes feigned
altruism. Punishment is also something adults do to children out
of hubris. Punishment is violent, and violence is inherently
selfish because your victim's feelings are glossed over.
So, our instinct to reward and punish others is noble how?

Where did I say Justice is revenge? Now you are just trying to
juggle words and put words in my mouth.
Justice: Just behavior or treatment. Fairness.
Revenge: the action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an
injury or wrong suffered at their hands. Retaliation.
Justice comes out of revenge, they are not the same, because you
can have justice without revenge in some situations. For
example, treating people as individuals until they prove
otherwise is also justice! Something many humans seem incapable
of, including you. You cannot feel revenge but you can feel
justice. Justice is what happens once revenge has occurred.
Rewarding altruistic behavior in OTHERS does not always benefit
the 'human' (your word choice) rewarding others, even though the
definition I gave you was about non-humans seeking revenge.
I cannot communicate with you anymore. You do exactly what Jews
and "white nationalists" do in-order to maintain their own
delusions.
