The original nature of man never changing and unending.

Love is the expression of man’s property. To love or idolize somthing is to express ownership and to marvel at it with deep obssesion.

Faith is another word for will. To have faith in something is to trust the will of instinct.

Right or wrong is the expression of the ego’s fear, naivety and selfishness. There is nothing cosmic or absolute about them as the ego is finite.

Good or evil are societies fictitious novels and scapegoats. Like elaborate plays in theatres they constantly change by fads.

Government represents the body of control. Whether everyone is represented equally or not is redundant and unimportant so long as it’s dominion is intacted.

It is the body of control that manages people and preys on their hopes or dreams.

Politics is the expression of conquest. Conquerors meet in cycles to discuss how to manage other people as livestock under their markets.

Armies and war are the instruments of governments. Their method is to slaughter all those who oppose individual governments.

The police are safeguards of politicians. Their purpose is the crush rebellions who don’t uphold the glorious human struggle or the pipedreams that comprise it.

Religion is the expression of existential fear. Men construct gods and heavens to distract themselves from the pressing reality of their own finite mortality.

The fear arises from the understanding that our lives could indeed be meaningless in the long run and that our actions here on earth may be futile or even pointless without basis beyond physical survival.

It is a superstition of the fearful who believe they can change men’s predatory instinct and circumstance out of fear of being swallowed under it.

Market economics is the expression of our own hopes, dreams, pleasures, desires and fears. The market is the alter of sacrifice in which we put our bio-power into a gamble of our own personal or collective dream like ambitions in hope of succession without any concrete validity.

Freedom is the expression of total indepedence and complete control of one’s owness. Anything beyond this is deception.

Freedom described by governments is no freedom at all.

Violence is not somthing to be overcomed. Violence is man’s natural pursuits.

Men’s purpose is not religious, moral, enlightened, philosophical, scientifical or human. Men’s purpose is a predatory one of conquest. Such idealizations are a means to a predatory end.

Man’s nature is to take what he wants in conquest. Man’s nature is a violent and fearful one.

Man’s nature is one of a vicious terrorizing predator.

Progress is the relative desires of people judged by mis-guided or confused institutions.

Progress has never extended from the absolute and is entirely subjective.

Progress equals pleasure for it is the relative pleasures of whole civilizations which gives it its name.

Man may inherit the same nature as his primitive ancestors, but human nature is not just a product of inheritance. Our environment has radically changed from the hostile environment the hunter-gathers faced to eek our there survival. In most of the world our survival needs are a given and do not give rise hostilities over basic necessities. True, war persists and most wars are premissed on greed and security, but most wars are averted or settled through negotiation. (The Iraq War is an exception, having no premises and no negotiated end in sight. Sometimes voters choose their leaders foolishly).

Daniel Dennett wrote an enlightenling book called Freedom Evolves. His premise was that the more one learns and acquires knowledge in demand in the market, the more options he has access to. The book was philosophy but it read like self-help, and reminded me of Steven Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The more one evolves and supercedes his primordial nature, the more options he has and the more likely he is to act on charitable instincts. And if you do engage in acts of charity, you know it imparts a very rewarding feeling and removes you from the greedy, proprietary beast you’ve evolved from.

Actually, love is nothing more than a peptide dump in the brain, everything else is case scenario abstraction.

Faith is subjugation of “the will”, and subservience to an unattainable ideal.

I can agree with that for the most part.

Spot on.

It is also a weak attempt at becoming an alpha social member through “acceptable” devices of construct.

Actually, it is more the expression of conquest for the unfit, as they have to use socio-cultural constructs to exploit the natural order to their benefit. Outside that sphere, they wouldn’t have any ability to express power.

Any societal body makes use of these, separately or in unison, it is a natural expression of power.

I would see them more as the blackguard. They are the manifestation of fear that society is not quite as “civilised” as the illusion purports.

Spot on.

Agreed.

Freedom is more the delusion that allows the biochemical automaton to support awareness from the internal dialectic without question. Questioning freedom begins to deprecate the “self”, that we are all so enamored of, to such deep levels.

Violence isn’t a real state, it is simply a linguistic construct for that which astonishes us about primalism.

We have no purpose, we just construct whatever makes us comfortable so as to avoid the realisation that we are the carrier for an aeons old biochemical agenda of “make more”.
