Misogyny in the forces
Misogyny, as a result of genetic imbalance, is not misogyny. It is not possible that evolution, making one species and the genders it contains differently structured for differing advantages, could contain a will for the traits that worked out to be most useful to be lesser in one than the other since evolution has no… Continue reading

Control the Narrative
What the powerful have always wanted is to control the narrative of their lives, to create an image of themselves in other peoples eyes, this has been very important to them for a long time. We can see this motivation played out in history when thinking of the Roman Emperors (Domitian became a hero to… Continue reading

How did you expect them to be?
This is a possible explanation, not an excuse, nor a mitigation of wrongdoing.. The problem is this…. Given what we know of people who do harsh things as a living or a vocation, the human deprivation they witness, the suffering, the injustice, the loss and pointlessness and hopelessness ordinary people just walking through their daily… Continue reading

Praising a Facade
I’m about to appear like a terrible person but hey ho, they’re just thoughts, I do not rule the world.

I’ve referred to… Continue reading

Pleasure in vengeance
It was 2017 and I was bitter then.. I became something I had hoped I would never have, I hoped I never had been before, I wished to be a bad guy. I harboured thoughts of some sort of revenge, I wished for the justice of things, for a recompense, reciprocity. You see at the… Continue reading

I’ve done a little bit of guest lecturing, not as much as I intended to though, and I hold court regularly when anyone is too tired to flee or is maybe being nice and humouring my egotistical need to express everything I think about. Let’s halt there for a moment though, I’m not a preacher… Continue reading
