Exposing the Mechanisms Used to Manipulate Your Thoughts, Actions and Beliefs.

  If production be capitalistic in form, so, too, will be reproduction.  Karl Marx Let's start with a truism that few people have really contemplated, that is, we are all descended from polygamy.  Someone might respond: "Say what? How can that be? I don't have any polygamists in my ancestry." Well, maybe not in the sense of Abraham and Isaac with multiple wives living together, that might, or might not, be the case. But wait, in zoology polygamy is defined as a male mating with multiple females.  And in that sense, yes, we all descend from polygamists. While it may be uncomfortable to consider, in our genetic history, we have twice as many females. That is due to the fact that over 80% of women in the history of humans gave birth to at least one child while only 40% of males did so. How does that add up? I will present how this was, how it is today and why it will become even more lopsided in the near future. For starters: *  Yes, more powerful, or more wealthy ...

  "Low birth rates will end civilization."   Elon Musk  Every nation in the developed world, except for Israel, is experiencing a demographic crisis of too few children being born.  And this is by far the greatest existential threat facing these nations.  In western Europe, and much of the USA, any mention of pro-natalist ideas to boost births will be met with screams from the left of racism or wanting to set back women's rights.  However, there is one nation that might be in a unique position to raise its birthrates and that nation? China. 85% of China is Han Chinese, thus it would be hard for anyone in China to protest pro-natalist policies by throwing around the accusation of racism.  Of course there are two major problems that have crushed the Chinese birthrate and they are: 1) The rising economic expectations of the young.  Marriage and family are seen as secondary goals as opposed to working hard, getting well-off and then, maybe, focusing o...

  " Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways ."                                                                                                                                  Sigmund Freud A rational mind can find the behavior of anti-Trumpers as quite mysterious. What psychological mechanism can explain what many call "Trump Derangement Syndrome?" What can possess a person to have an obsession with Trump to the point that their every thought centers on how much hatred they have for him, and by projection, all his supporters?  Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory could shed some light. A rational...

  "The world is the will to power and nothing besides." Friedrich Nietzsche Some people mistake Nietzsche's quote as a call to crush any who stand in your way to when you have set a goal. No, it is a call for personal growth and becoming the best you can be.  You will only be fulfilled as a person if you can master yourself and your environment, And that can mean setting goals to become physically fit, have a strong family or stand up for your principles.  However, while this is mostly a factor of your personality and even soul, there is another extremely important component - a hormone called testosterone. Many people think testosterone is merely a male hormone that helps make muscles grow.  That is partly true.  Actually, men and women both make testosterone, though males have much higher levels.  And yes, it is very important in fitness and muscle development, but one factor people forget, even in regard to fitness, is that it is a motivational hormone....

  "I think it would be wise to invite all the sportsman of England and America...for a grand buffalo hunt."   General William T. Sherman I noticed an article recently that Britain plans to phase out 10% of their farmland so they can reach "net zero" on carbon emissions.  The main target will be livestock as the claim goes that raising meat contributes to CO2 more than other forms of food production.  While these claims are allegedly based on science, perhaps the same science that said everyone needed Covid shots, lockdowns would save grandma and that there are 72 genders, and counting, maybe General Sherman would, if alive, recognize a totally different agenda at play...you know, restrict food and you can restrict people. In what passes for teaching history in many US classrooms you were probably "taught" that the buffalo of the Great Plains were almost killed to extinction, but you were not told why. There are famous pictures of massive mounds of buffalo ...

  " In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. "  George Orwell  Some highly religious people say that we should just pray and read the scriptures and not learn of what, for instance, the media or public schools might be promoting within their agendas. However, you cannot protect yourselves or families if they are able to undermine your values under your cognitive radar. And while many people who support traditional values feel a relief that Trump was elected, the war for the souls of America's children is still being waged. It took a long time to undermine our values to the point they are now. Wait, what, you say? Your values have not budged? Okay, what is your reaction to extreme violence in a movie? When "The Great Train Robbery" was released in the early 20th Century, women would faint at mere depictions of shootings that showed no blood whatsoever. Think about the last film you saw that had a violent scene. Any fainting? Horror? Okay, ho...
