Weird. Is this a reflection on yourself? How you see others? What you think it takes to get ahead in life? Do you feel this is how you improve your quality of life?


It's a reflection on how I see others and how I see the law has been made for some time. You know, the golden rule, the one with the gold gets to make the rules. I'd like to think I don't stoop this low to improve my quality of life in such a manner, but most people I see improving their life do it this way. It's just the nature of the planet and part of the values that make up our modern feudalism. I'm a deist and believe in an after life and karma. If I didn't believe in these things, power and violent force would be all that had any meaning in this world. In this world, those are the only things that can really bring happiness provided your lucky enough to win. I pray the next world will be more fair and less challenging.

I am not a fan of oppression, degradation, elitism, and inequality.


But as long as you have human beings calling the shots of who gets to work and who gets fired, you're always going to have these things whether the world is run by patriarchy or matriarchy.

If humans evolved to pair bond, why do human females ovulate in syncrhony when they become a part of a harem? That doesn't mean you can't beleive in pair bonding. You're right when you say your needs would not be met in a polygamous marriage, not to mention the needs of the boys who will get no wife. I personally do not believe that will be the case in the next world, no more than the 1 year old starving because the new baby born is now in need of the milk. There will be plenty and very few of these earthly issues will exist.

In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

It is a shame that the modern world can't be a better fit for what men have evolved to be than it is.

On the other hand I see couples asking for girls in fertility clinics to be a positive thing, a very positive thing.
