As a result of progress
Human nature, an idea that we know that we are good moral actors for some, for others an excuse for us not to be. Some folks claim greed as a natural facet of the species, stating that “if you could, then you would”, indicating that weakness or strength of will are merely circumstantial considerations, i.e.… Continue reading

The Manosphere
I asked my partner Em randomly if I should join the manosphere? The reason I did this was to get her reaction, which I knew I could feed off. Sometimes when people agree on something, and we (Em and I) agree strongly on women’s rights and the toxicity of modern male behaviour regarding it, you… Continue reading

Perspectives
Whatever you’re going through is as real to you as whatever anyone else is going through is to them. It’s often useful, yet it may be unimportant, even harmful, to put into perspective your issue. You hear this “there are people who have it a lot worse”, and this sentence means that the person saying… Continue reading

Scapegoating
Power to command, if not through the better argument (persuasive power), is a forced force, the ability to take away the dangling carrot or to do harm to the subject of that power (the stick). The power of a wife is often to keep the flames of passion doused until criteria has been met sufficiently,… Continue reading

Against Democracy
Reason cannot be met on the field of intellectual battle with effort alone, your effort will not make your case. How strongly you feel something is practically unimportant to the point you make, in a reasonable society. What I mean by that opening statement is that when people use reason to form their view and… Continue reading

The weakest of all men
The pope is the weakest, most scared of all men on earth. That’s a bold accusation but I intend to tell you why I have come to that conclusion. As usual I’ll be criticising religion, but also the person psychologically. Bear in mind I don’t dislike the guy, nor do I dislike his policies, I… Continue reading

Sexually disappointed professional smilers
I’ve used that title very deliberately, mainly because I wish to speculate, as I often do. And as usual I have to point out I have no proof that what I am about to say is verifiable, it just makes sense to me, and it’s interesting to think about… It strikes me that if we… Continue reading

The cruel chemistry
It’s the cruellest of universal jokes that man is configured his way and woman hers, that these two incompatible beings, and I am about to tell you what I mean by that statement, are attracted to each other so strongly that they will wave all sense so as to promise each other forever and bind… Continue reading

When did we stop being reasonable?
Polarisation, the process where by one’s perspective is either wholly at one extreme of the spectrometer, or it is as far the other way from the equilibrium. For folks now it seems that commitment, surety projected, subjective position stated strongly as if it stands as a fact (an objective, demonstrable, and measurable reality), is what… Continue reading

I understand preppers now
A zombie apocalypse is unlikely, but not impossible. More likely to happen is that the world will fundamentally change for the commoner in a way we are already well aware of, but haven’t really thought enough about. Yes we could all die as the nuclear arsenals are foisted upon each other by the capitalist classes… Continue reading
