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

  "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.

Sweep one hierarchy away, and another one will take its place, perhaps less palatable than the first.”   Camille Paglia With the possible exception of television nothing influenced the course of society in the USA and Europe in modern times more than the birth control pill.
