Which do you think is more harmful?
Which do you think applies more to you?
How do you think these affect group dynamics?

For some reason, I have a feeling that this won't do nearly as well as some of the other more recent "vs" threads.:)

They're equally harmful. EDIT: They can be equally harmful.
Self Loathing.
Either you can be the only person hating yourself, or everyone else can hate you.

Judging by the response so far I'd say that's a safe assumption.

Self-loathing. There's no point to it.
Narcissism.
Either you can be the only person hating yourself, or everyone else can hate you.

Self loathing is funny more often than is narcissism. Narcissisn is more wont to lead to resentment in groups.

Self loathing sometimes leads to pity attention from hot chicks.

I think they're equally harmful for different reasons.

Self-loathing will have your view on the world colored by the lack of self-worth you have. And color those around you who interact with you.

Narcissism, same problem, opposite issue, since you won't have a good grip on reality because you love yourself so much.

Self-loathing affects group dynamics more, since people IMHO tend to be affected more by someone being depressed/down more than they are with them being high on themselves.

$0.02 where appropriate.

Self loathing can't affect group dynamics if you make the mental leap of "if I hate myself then everyone else must" and avoid any and all groups.

I agree. If you loathe yourself, you wouldn't interact with anyone else even though you want to with every fiber of your being. Narcissism (that's a lot of 's'), which I admit is my greatest flaw, can be terrible for group dynamics since the narcissist will be more outgoing (although in the wrong way) and thus earn initial trust from a social group. It isn't until the narcissism is self-evident that the group dynamics is altered.

I stand correctly and agree. Sit corrected as well.

I've been a bit of both in my hay-day....I'll say one thing...it depends on what you do.

When I was a musician, being Narcisstic was a must have...If you started loathing...you'd write crap. Even the people with the romatic infactuation with self-loathing.

Now that I'm a Self Loathing I.T. Slug at GE....yea, I'm depressed alot...

But fuck it....I'm getting back to the top now.

Self loathing = more harmful for the individual
Narcissism = more harmful for a group

hrm, yup, narcissism, since I definately don't do the self loathing thing. i have a tendancy to make farcical narcissitic comments/commentary (along the lines of talking about being hit on or checked out, etc) but I generally am joking about these things as much as I do because it's easier to joke about being hot then it is to think of other people thinking of me as a piece of meat. my sense of humor is my shield ~ you can't touch me, nananabooboo!!.... 8-)

narcissitic people tend to either take on everything in a group and moderate/"manage" everything to the distaste of others, or everyone just shuns that person and does their own thing. Someone who's self loathing however would probably just allow anyone else to walk all over them and never make any valuable contributions because their afraid they aren't worthy of mattering :cry: sad pandas.

I know you don't like people quoting DDF. But... I felt that this was a tremendously prescient statement from him concerning recent events in the OT forum.

Maybe I'm the only one who will make that leap.

Back on topic, The degree of either determines how harmful it will be.

I'd say I have a healthy self-image. I'm a bit arrogant, but undeluded as to my actual qualities.

I would also say that the degree determines the level of disruption to a group dynamic.

But I have no self worth. I have very specific beliefs (and lack of beliefs) which I am not granted exception from.

For example, I maintain that the sole purpose of all life is reproduction. I have no desire to reproduce, therefore I am of no value to the world. :lol:

Okay if the purpose of all humanity is to have children:

1. Why are you so facinated by supermodels who lack child bearing hips?

And what happens when they have the ability to choose how they breed? Humanity has been very selective when it can be on which traits it chooses.

But even then breeding requires years of nurturing before the cycle can be completed and that will requrie a great deal of people who themselves are not the parents themselves. Teachers for instance are a great example.

The fact that humans prepare for a life greater than mere survival is irrelavant. All that matters is that your offspring survive long enough to produce their own.

That takes time, I'm not talking about society in terms of feeding, cloathing and producing skills nessasary to produce, feed and shelter the next and the next generation to come. The advantage with a society lies in it's ability to use other than the parents to take some of this load which allows for an increased reproduction rate and an increase survival rate. Therefor one does not need to physically have kids in order to benefit reproduction.

Yes I make my posts vague for reasons such as this.;)

It just seems odd that you'd become so fixated on reproduction but you have so little interest in it.

Personally I'd say reproduction isn't that important because most of the people of this planet are simply cogs in a machine, if a few don't want to reproduce who cares the rest will simply make up for it. The importance of humanity has never in my opinion been our continuation in descendants but rather the ingenuity of a hadfull of people each generation.

05-02-2005, 04:17 AM
:dunce: This conversation is too intellectual for me. But I will agree with Zion on that within a society personal propagation no longer has to be the first priority. Rather preservation of the species/society as a whole becomes more important. You can see this in social insects like ants or bees where there is a division of roles. Some exist only to protect the society, others exist only to feed the society and others still only exist to mate.

So then why consider yourself unimportant? I mean sure on a universal scale we are nothing but even I try to avoid thinking about really large and very tiny things to often, it's not very healthy. Certainly after seeing what the majority of humanity does with its lives you can see yourself as being worth perhaps a bit more than a shit?

Why? I have accomplished nothing in life and intend to keep it that way. It's not so much that I want to do nothing as it is there is nothing I want to do. I'm not prone to healthy thoughts, which is why I try to limit my exposure to my own mind through constant bombardment. (books/games/movies/music)

On a side note I think I may be a bit ADD, because when reading I can better concentrate on the task at hand if I have something to distract me. (usually music)

My god how similar we are, it's rather spooky. But you forget one important point: what happens when you take a thousand alienated humans of reasonable intelligence and allow them to think for 50 years? You get a few really good ideas, besides I bet you get a bit more from that constant media bombardment than most people.;)

I can't imagine seeing 50. Hell, I can't even see myself making it to thirty. But I think that's ok. When you aren't looking forward to anything is hard to see how the future could possibly be different.

See this is what I get for speaking in general, people don't normally like to think that they won't at least reach 70.;)

So tell me what outside of videogames do you actually enjoy in this world and women made of plastic and computer editing don't count.

Besides books/games/movies/music? Not a whole lot. I guess you could add "Open discourse with like-minded individuals". I don't really do much else. I go to school, but for the most part I have no interest in the classes I take. I work, but that's just a paycheck. That's about it. :lol:

Also if you didn't notice, my list of interests are in alphabetical order. That was not unintentional. :oops:

So pretty much the same damn shit I do but only in an anal retentive way, what in the world is your major anyhow?

:rofl: You have all this potential and you choose that? My god you could have at least gone with philosophy, granted you'd never get a job but you'd probably be a hell of a lot happier.

I started out as a straight CS major, because basically by the time I finished high school I was sick of everything else. :lol: I quickly decided that I didn't want to put that much effort into a lesser evil type situation. :lol:

You know I've never taken a philosophy class. There is one required for my degree, but it always fills up before I bother to enroll. It's "Foundations of Logic and Scientific Method" Which I think will be a bit too basic but possibly enjoyable.

I want to take some more psychology and maybe history classes for personal enjoyment, but they conflict with my 2 day a week schedules. :lol: :cry:

And this is why you get a major you actually care about, although I suppose I shouldn't talk seeing as outside of labwork I basically hate chemistry.

Well I'm off to sleep, I'll have to think about this more in the morning you're conclusion just seems a bit odd, perhaps a biology class or 2 might be fun for you.

Yes well that would be more enjoyable but probably less useful.

Oh yeah, and I haven't taken biology since I was a sophomore in high school. And even that was a basic class. :lol: I do subscribe to Discover, so that helps somewhat. :lol:

Night, I'm off to bed myself.
