<p>Humans have two superpowers: for women, it's childbirth; and for men, it's testosterone. There are many women envious of men's testosterone super-abilities: ambition, competitiveness, physical prowess, and more. Testosterone gives masculine males an advantage in The Patriarchy because liberty, meritocracy & patriotism are benefited by its attributes. Women embrace the diminishment of...

<p>Testosterone makes you attractive, ambitious, competitive, confident, protective, and a host of other super-powers. It's kind of amazing that even though people generally know this, it isn't really discussed much in education outside of biology class, when in reality, testosterone, and the superpowers it brings, is more controlling of society than anything other than the female superpower...

<p>The blood vessels in your body are a lot like plumbing. The body sends signals through the plumbing, called hormones, and they can go almost everywhere the blood goes. Testosterone and estrogen, the sex hormones, are the most famous, and control gender-related aspects of the body like muscle size and hair growth. Different hormones have different shapes, and as they flow through the blood...

<p>The development of the testosterone apparatus in the fetus is what causes all gender differences between males and females; for example, ovaries and gonads start as the same group of cells but are differentiated due to testosterone. Testosterone is also the fundamental difference between males and females during the rest of their lives: physically, intellectually, and emotionally. It's im...

<p>Males and females each start out with a single set of chromosomes that double then doubles the doubles continuously until there's you. Of that first set of chromosomes, 22 of the 23 are exactly the same between males and females, however, the 19<sup>th</sup> chromosome is shorter in males, called the Y chromosome, versus a female's longer 19<sup>th</sup> chromosome...

<p>What is the Patriarchy? Let's review:</p> <ol> <li> <p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Times they are a changing, again...</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Public schools are more indoctrination than education.</p> </li> <li> <p...

<p>Traditional male/female roles weren’t accidental, and they weren’t society imposed. If men & women were stranded on a desert island, the same roles would soon emerge because they’re evolutionary. When someone slams their car door into my car, I'm the one in our family best equipped to handle it. If the lawn doesn't get mowed, that's my responsibility; but when the children are wailing...

<p>Older White men, “Old White Guys” or OWGs in the vernacular, are the focus of much of the hostility of the new Left, but they don't seem to know it, or don't understand the ramifications of their lack of action and virtual capitulation. OWGs are still in the mindset that The Left's violation of the unspoken rules: basic courtesy, benefit of the doubt, and respect for others; is hypocrisy...

<p>Masculinity can easily be demonized as “toxic” for its side effects: aggression, anger & sexuality. It used to be overlooked when males exploited their advantages by bullying, dominance, and predatory attitude towards women. In small doses, these traits are actually extremely important in a functioning society, both for men in the male dominance hierarchy, and for women because it ens...

<p>Masculinity is an evolutionary creation because meritocracies often produced men whom females mated with; voluntarily or not. Masculinity is most easily defined by its visual features: muscle mass, facial hair, size; but the social manifestations are just as important: ambition, competitiveness, territorialism. In the past, society valued these attributes because they were important in th...

<p>The social dominance hierarchy tends to be a pyramid rather than a totem pole, so those farther down feel the weight of everyone above them, and those near the top have more control over their lives so tend to be happier and more satisfied, at least that's what it looks like to everyone underneath. The very nature of a dominance hierarchy means that individuals low in the pyramid far exce...

<p>The Patriarchy is the concepts of liberty, meritocracy & patriotism that used to be the foundation of American values but, unfortunately, favors a minority of the population. The rest should be expected to try and change things for their benefit, and they've been doing so for a century, with slowly accumulating results. For example, it took decades for women, minorities & Socialis...

<p>The single biggest cause of today's social revolution is that the indoctrination has changed; education, entertainment, and the media are all promoting a new set of values; ones that are incompatible with those previous. Since children have yet to form opinions, the first one they hear from an authority figure is the one they will probably adopt throughout life because changing someone's...

<p>The last time the world changed like it is now was in the 1960s; it was called the Generation Gap, and occurred because American prosperity allowed children to be raised, not as additional workers to help support the family, but with personal autonomy, the impetus for them to make decisions for themselves and freedom from the harsh authority of parents. As they grew, they rebelled complet...

<p>We have to review philosophy often or it slips away:</p> <ol> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Most famous philosophers simply got it wrong.</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The more you know about Plato, the less you like hi...

<p>Explaining why is the most scientific of pursuits, yet the most important why of all, the philosophy that guides our lives, is the least explained. We are all budding philosophers, whether or not we can consciously articulate our philosophy, which most people can't. Of those that can, the ones who accurately assign motive to action, reason to existence; very, very few of them become famou...

<p>The visceral reaction of most people against torture is an induced one; it's not something built into our DNA. Throughout history, torture has risen and fallen in social esteem; and has often been used in an official capacity. With that kind of track record, the only way to stop torture is to indoctrinate children against it, yet there is a whole genre of popular entertainment that revels...

<p>What does peace look like? Heaven? Something from a fiction story where people dress suspiciously like the Amish? Defining peace certainly isn't as simple as not being at war; which brings up the question of what is the opposite of peace? Obviously, peace is a subjective term; other people either have a different concept of peace, or a different threshold. From a practical pov, the world...

<p>Philosophically speaking, the concept of live & let live is highly controversial. As liberty-indoctrinated Americans, it may seem instinctual, but a lot of people have not had this refrain drilled into them, so they have no problem telling other people how to live; it's getting to be more-and-more, live-as-I-live. <span lang="en-US">In a Liberty society, we don't have...

<p>Do all people have value? From a purely objective, one-dimensional perspective, the answer is categorically no. Most other life on earth has no sentimentality towards its weaker members. The world would be easier to navigate with less pressure on a society that rids itself of its undesirables: execution, incarceration, banishment, and emigration fueled by ostracization. Certainly when som...

<p>If any philosophy is to be taken seriously, it must be logically understandable. There are basically three kinds of logic: deductive, inductive, and abductive. Deductive reasoning follows three if-and-then steps, called a syllogism, in which two statements reach a logical conclusion, for example: all men are mortal, and you are a man, then you are mortal. Syllogisms require knowledge to d...

<p>Nietzsche's "Slave Morality" is named after how slaves react to being subservient. Slaves are envious & resentful of their masters, so like all revolutionary thought, they turn the status quo values upside-down to form their own competing values. The attitude of slaves is to be against everything their masters represent; if their masters value merit, pride, honor & auton...

<p>Friedrich Nietzsche probably gets more pseudo-intellectual airtime than any other philosopher with his deeply insightful aphorisms, the most famous of which are:</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Love is blind.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">That which does not kill us makes us stronger.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"...

<p>Philosophers have an insidious impact on the world; for example, the most famous Western philosopher, Plato, is the inspiration of Marxism. His self-serving suggestion is that government should be by a philosopher-king, and his platform includes infanticide to prevent overpopulation, death to those who deny the omniscience of the State, belief that only philosophers, himself in particular...

<p>There may be unknown philosophers who got it right, but they aren't famous; the ones we hear about mostly got it wrong. The father of “rationalism,” Rene' Descartes, believed that we could rely on reason to find truth without depending on tradition or experts. Unfortunately, Descartes didn't even trust his own senses but instead believed he could reason out any fact solely in his mind, wi...
