Aurini's take

quote:

First question: Did I waste all the dollars I spent on this?

I need to start off by apologizing to everybody who chose to support this project. This sort of drama is unbecoming, particularly when you’ve entrusted us with your hard-earned dollars – but I also promise you that these dollars were not wasted. This project will see fruition, and it will be a palpable blow against the Social Justice movement.

As I tried to explain to Jordan several times, this project is bigger than him, than me, than us, even than all of you – this project is a moral obligation. I will see this project done.

Next question: What sort of person would pull the plug now?

We had completed filming immediately prior to this split. All that is left is the editing, the animations, and possibly a bit of fact-checking. None of these are easy or cheap, but this film is as good as in the bag. Owen and I never had to see each-other again; Owen and I had no substantial disagreement over how the film would be finalized (I honestly did like his script, as per my tweet); there was absolutely no disagreement over the film at all, and Jordan’s role as Producer, by this point, had mainly devolved to signing the cheques while I did the editing, and others did the animation.

The only logical reason to split the project at this point was because he’d just received the final month’s funding…

…at least, I wish that were the reason. That would make sense. After the past two months of communiques with Jordan, I strongly suspect that he undermined this project because of an irrational jealously of Roosh, and any man who’s able to relate to women easily.

He’d been asking me for advice about women since the get go – which led me to recommending my colleague Roosh who has done much to support us – but every time I spoke about him, it seemed to fill Jordan with rage. Eventually leading to a panic attack that got him kicked off of an airplane – the last time I saw him in person.

A major feature of this project was that it would be apolitical, and yet over the past few months Jordan has made a point of attacking anybody on the right whom he could get away with criticizing, culminating with his attack on Roosh. These attacks serve no practical purpose. These attacks have been counterproductive, as has been his ‘firing’ of me – the only man who knows how to edit all this footage into something useful.

So I ask you for forgiveness because I trusted too easily; Jordan has decided to break this up at the 11th hour for his own schedule of reasons, but this film still needs to be done. I ask that you continue to support me as I pull the last strands together, and cancel your financial support to Mister Owen. He does not have the technical capacity to put this film together the way it needs to be done.

Beautiful.

Aurini is obviously the worst with that Manosphere white supremicst bullshit, but I don't think I know much about this other guy. Apparently he's super against the kind of people Aurini is and associates with? Why the gently caress was he doing this to begin with? Of course, he's a Gamer Gater, so he obviously can't be much better.

I think he claims to be apolitical because he thinks only people with opinions he considers wrong can be political, while he's just being factual. What a loving rear end in a top hat. I can't wait till this either never comes(or his version never comes out or gets less attention then the other dude's), or it comes out and absolutely nothing happens. Is he seriously loving arrogant enough to think he's going to stop "Social Justice"(as vague and broad as that is) in it's tracks? Is he just trying to sell it better to get more money? Both?

This isn't really what neoreactionaries mean by "apolitical." (Remember, they're reactionary, not conservative; they don't like the status quo and desire a radical return to something resembling a previous state, or at least resembling what they imagine to be a previous state.) They're saying it's outside of politics in the narrow sense, i.e., it's not primarily or directly about elections, political parties, legislatures, and the like (which neoreactionaries, like many radicals on the left, tend to think don't really change anything). The idea is to move things rightward by influencing long-term cultural trends instead.

In practice, I suspect this attempt at culture-shaping is mostly futile, because it's done too overtly and from too far outside the Overton Window.

From Orgy of the Will:

quote:

The microscientists claim that there "are" 4, or 6, or 27 dimensions, dispute each other's claims and try to "find" exactly how many dimensions there "are". But a dimension is not something that exists outside the brain, but a mere concept that the brain creates and projects onto its environment in order to "understand" it (i.e., as I'll be explaining shortly, predict its behavior with a view to shaping it for its wishes). The microscientists have once more mistaken their models for reality, and have confused the question of the number of dimensions of the universe (infinite — which is to say the same thing as one), with the number of dimensions in their models (the more the better). The more dimensions a brain can resolve, the more subtle, more powerful it is. Which is why the microscientists say that there "are" 4, or 6, or 27 of them — and I say infinite.

This is, quite simply, empirically incorrect. Even without the contradiction inherent in declaring infinity to be equal to one. Fun fact: some models predict an extra time dimension. Which is super weird when you think about it. I am a math guy though, not a physicist, so I couldn't tell you exactly what that would mean because I don't quite get it.

quote:

Wittgenstein is — once you have got past "that hocus-pocus of mathematical form", in which, like Spinoza, he encased and masked his philosophy — utterly exasperating. Ethics is transcendental, aesthetics is transcendental, logic is transcendental! — everything is transcendental! But all these things are in the universe, you goddamn brainless twit, how can they be transcendental! The universe is everything, nothing is transcendental! that's just a word imbeciles use to signify that they are incapable of understanding something! — And sure enough, he understood neither logic, nor ethics, nor aesthetics — among a great many other things, practically everything! — partly because he didn't bother reading enough of what his predecessors wrote, but mainly because he was a little man with small experiences and therefore incapable of making any progress in psychology, which is where all these "transcendental" categories begin — and end.

What a thorough and well argued take down of Wittgenstein.

Edit: Also he hates the jews

quote:

Napoleon and Hitler: two faces of the same coin, with devastation following at the end in either case. Why the extra hatred for the latter? Partly the far greater scale and scope of WWII over the Napoleonic Wars, partly the increased power in the means of war and the ensuing devastation, partly Jewish lies and propaganda. That no one studies history any more and therefore has no clue who Napoleon was and more importantly what he did, is not exactly helping either.

Nietzsche would be so disappointed.

He could at least be tactful enough to come up with a neologism of some sort that sounds spookier, to avoid turning absolutely everyone who doesn't already agree with him away.

It's a derivative of the idea of "third position" politics. In short. We are not socialist/leftist, and we are not liberal/capitalist, therefore we are not political.

I mean the best part is he's doing a bunch of :smug: reality is just in your miiiind man :smug: poo poo to "counter" physicists like they never thought of that before or something and he obviously has no idea that there's entire massive branches of the philosophy of science that deal with this poo poo better than his half-baked-pot-brownie ideas.

http://www.torontosun.com/news/alberta/2010/11/08/16039256.html

quote:

In a decision released Monday, provincial court Judge Terry Semenuk said Davis Aurini was acting in self-defence when he assaulted Amanda Lockhart during a manic episode.

Semenuk said he believed Aurini's testimony Lockhart attacked him when he rejected her attempt to kiss him after they viewed the Oscar-winning film about mental patients.

Aurini admitted pushing Lockhart and applying a pressure point to her neck in an attempt to get her to release his motorcycle helmet so he could leave.

"The force used by the accused ... when she was out of control and having a manic episode, was no more force than necessary to prevent her assault on him," Semenuk said.

"His actions were justified," the judge said, in finding Aurini was acting in self-defence.

Lockhart accused Aurini of choking her after he became angry at the conclusion of the movie.

He also threw her into the floor and punched, her, bloodying her nose, Lockhart testified.

But Semenuk accepted Aurini's version of the events - that he only applied a pressure point to her neck, a move learned in the military, to get her to give him his helmet.

"There was nothing in the demeanor of the accused that would lead me to believe that he was not endeavouring to tell the truth," Semenuk said.

Aurini, 28, said he and Lockhart were still living together, but no longer romantically involved after she had tried to jam him with a lit cigarette two weeks prior to their altercation last June.

Semenuk ruled the woman became angry with him when he refused to let her kiss him.

"Her anger turned into a manic episode as a result of her mental illness," the judge said.

"As soon as she became angry, and as a result of his past experience with the complainant's mental illness leading to violence, the accused prepared to leave the apartment," he said.

The part that surprises me the most is that he apparently has a special movie-watching helmet, although I guess that shouldn't really be a surprise.
