The Reason For Now

We discuss that our human behaviour has a major influence via genetics through evolution so that for hundreds of millions of years most living organisms are pack animals and furthermore hierarchical. We explain how epigenetics can influence the behaviour of one generation from actions and experience of the previous and we discuss biological differences between men and women and how these match mos...

Why are most decisions wrong? And when we mean decisions we mean those made by individuals, corporations or politicians. The reason is that logic is a rare companion to decisions as humans are hard wired to think and respond to emotions as that was the quickest way of surviving for cavemen. All leaders going back to the dawn of time are self serving liabilities which is one reason no civilisation...

The gap between rich and poor, haves and have nots is increasing and is also reflected in differences in life expectancy between rich and poor which is 10 years for men and 8 for women. Superimposed on this is the fact that women's lead in life expectancy over men is falling. Health is worsening as women smoke and drink more and suffer more diabetes and 1 in 8 children have mental health issues. W...

We discuss the real reason Brexit is being made difficult for the UK is not to make an example but because France and Germany need the British banking system as the third leg in a rickety stool propping up Europe. We discuss the how the economy has been miss managed since the credit crunch and what can be done to improve things. There is finally proof backing up our hypothesis that men and women a...

11th November is Armistice Day, the way to end wars. Or was it? We discuss Thucydides Trap which refers to war being inevitable when one established power is met with a rising power. Indeed research shows that out of the last 16 examples of this war was the outcome of 12. The irony being that often it was not being actively sought by the major players but the result of a minor catalyst which snowb...

10-15% of the population are on antidepressants which is second only to blood pressure tablets at 14% leaving obesity in 3rd place. We discuss the reasons for this all culminating in a final common pathology of inflammation which then plays on an individual's weakest link be it the brain or the heart or ability to withstand cancer and tests it until it breaks. People with bipolar disorder have a h...

Should William Sitwell have reached any news outlet at all? Or did the recipient of his email simply dislike him enough to manipulate a viral outbreak of politically correct identity politics turmoil? It is another example of competence getting you there but being disliked enough dethroning you even if the reason is not proportional. We discuss how the lack of structure and boundaries in society a...

We discuss weekly political events. Philip Green has been criticized for using the power of his money to muzzle the press however the Lord who ousted him used his own exceptional power almost certainly because he did not like him. We discuss that competence may win you a position in society but likeability determines whether you stay there. Women in the army is another example of political correct...

Has the whole issue with Anjem Choudary been mislabeled? We discuss how political correctness has watered down what is by definition treason to a hate crime and how society sleep walks through this. Furthermore we talk ourselves into needing to adapt to a changing political and work landscape which brings with it greater uncertainty which will only lead to a further decline in mental and physical...

The secret of any relationship be it with yourself or anyone or anything else is acceptance and knowing how to be happy with the good enough as long as there are no deal breakers. The eternal quest for the ultimate experience also known as perfection is an artefact of modern times , a metaphorical illusionary need. We are hard wired to reflexly seek survival needs but since we have them in modern...

Antidepressants are not addictive. There is no sense of craving. There is however a withdrawal syndrome similar to the flu with mild hand tremor to varying levels which can also be avoided by tapered dose reduction. Depression itself is likely in most cases to be mediated by inflammation of various causes. Where you have the weekest link in your body is where you will break whether it is heart dis...

Humans are primarily emotional beings , controlled by emotion and responding to emotional cues. As cavemen the reflex of doing this was the quickest way of responding to dangerous situations and staying alive. However in the absence of conscious thought this leaves little room for logic in today's society. We discuss how to treat blocks in emotional processing which can give rise to traumas , phob...

We think that most women and men are reasonable and both are prepared to take responsibility when they have consented to enter into a situation with carries with it expectations. The entire "me too' campaign is an artefact of the media who don't care about ruining a few people's lives from false allegations for the economic bottom line. In the UK this happened unfortunately at the same time as the...

The media sells bad news and misinformation but that does not stop people voting for someone. Research shows that if you are viewed as competent for the job people will vote for you even if they don't like you. Therefore Boris Johnsons comments about letter boxes and infidelity will only serve to raise his profile and when he needs to he will have an enormous audience to whom he will demonstrate h...

What is legacy? That for which we want to be remembered? Who do we think we are? We are simply here to reproduce. As Socrates said (more accurately the Oracle of Delphi) love is the pursuit of immortality. Whereas some will seek to achieve it by marking the pages of history, most settle for reproduction. Yet we are all being told that both men and women need to chase their careers. This ignores th...

We talk about the two types of identity. As cavemen we needed to know to which tribe we belonged and to function according to our strengths within that tribe so we could contribute as much as possible with the greatest satisfaction to the well being of the tribe. To that end although everyone was a member of the tribe individual differences were identified and welcomed as a way of best placing tha...

What is an ideal society? Has the power and technology from our capitalist materialistic society helped as get closer to achieving our perfect lives? We argue the opposite. Socrates the ancient Greek Philosopher coined the phrase " know thyself" and perhaps that is what mankind needs to ponder as we now live in the most fragmented dysfunctional unhappy societies in recent history and political cor...

Letter boxes, Muslims and fundamentalists are not the same. Get This Wrong And You Bring Radicals Into The Heart Of Your Community under the guise of political correctness and free speech which suggests that the latter are euphemisms for destructive ignorance. Boris Johnson does understand the difference. Perhaps that is why although he is a self serving psychopath he could also be the greatest le...

Are all becoming weaker? Is this why more and more of us feel offended more of the time? In reality it is a fault of weak leadership leaving us with an identity crisis so that society has borderline personality disorder by proxy. Humans are not weaker, but they are easily led as they need leadership. Rule by the people works in evolutionary terms in relatively small groups with clear identity but...

Are men and women equal in terms of how they see themselves in society? If so why are more marriages failing and less women getting married the more they earn in relation to men? Men are hierarchy sensitive because of their need to compete for mates. Women are the ultimate decision makers in nature and in today's society so are less hierarchy sensitive. Yet females if they earn more than their mat...

The common theme running through this week's events is a lack of any common sense or morality or loyalty or respect for country and Constitution. Free speech was the argument for the Trump blimp but this shows no understanding about the purpose of free speech which is to allow people freedom of thought. If you think, you risk insulting but pure insulting with no respect for the Presidency shows ig...

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an example of a crossover with normal everyday traits albeit with a crucial difference. The first you feel compelled to do even though you don't want to, the second defines your sense of perfectionism professionalism and pride in what you do. You think it is reasonable and justified. Anxiety increases the likelihood of being held hostage to an obsession. For instan...

We start off talking about immigration and go on to the psychology of fear and motivation and look at what is necessary to get things done. We discuss whether people can think for themselves or whether we need rules and regulations and pursuant to this that democracy is not the framework which can provide this with endles mazes of vested interest including media misreporting. Time and again if any...

Immigration has always occured so why is it a problem now? The answer is because it has become unregulated so systems if assimilation - such as they are as they are mostly woefuly inadquate - are swamped. This leads to social unrest and further paradoxically fuels the rise of the identitists and political correctness as vulnerability is a sanctimonious band wagon that is hard to hinder. However th...
