“Good girls are loved by the bad boys whom they seek in as much as a moth is loved by the flame to which it flies.”
- Xenocrates
This goes out to all the women out there chasing after bad boys:
One of single most profound things that I’ve discovered about women is the amazingly shallow perceptive capability that each and every single one of them are configured with by default. Most women do not develop highly perceptive cognition with respect to the opposite sex until their mid thirties, and this is largely as a result of how the female brain was designed. A woman could be considered a wombed man, and as such is designed specifically for bringing new life to bear through natural, genetically propagated, maternal instincts. Thus it is biologically practical that women are designed with the propensity to procure and nuture life. This is where the right brain becomes most useful. The right brain is responsible for the “fuzzy-logic” capacity of the human mind. This is where artistic inspiration and emotive cognition are generated. Both qualities are fundamental for fulfilling their natural roles in life as the nurturer and care giver in the family.
However, these instincts are highly basic and were not designed for hunter/gatherer tasks. As society has evolved, bringing women on almost equal footing with men, they now have to learn that skill - something which comes natural for the left brained, naturally predatory, hunter gatherer male. Unfortunately, this skill is rarely well learned, and that’s what makes women victim to highly predatory males who are only seeking to gratify themselves sexually at the woman’s expense. These types of relationships burnt out quickly and the remains consist of bitter women who lump every other male they see (including those which would never have broken their heart) along in the same pile as the bad boys they sought so impetuously. These women are damaged goods and we the good men are often left to sift through the mess after their bad boy relationships fizz out.
“Religion is the staple of the gullible as like superstition, common sense is its greatest enemy.”
- Xenocrates
You ever wonder why you go to church and see so many unattractive, single people? Have you ever wondered where all the hot womem / men are? Better yet, why is it that so many churches are populated by mostly women? Where are the rest of the men? Do you ever wonder why some of the most ignorant or superstitious people are also found in religious circles? Why are religious people (irrespective of their religion of choice) so inclined to extremist behaviour? Are you one of those people that these questions have occurred to but you’ve conveniently ignored? There’s a very good reason for all of this, and it takes it’s root from a fundamental ‘flaw’ in human nature:
“Religion seems more suited for purposes of comfort rather than practicality.”
- Xenocrates
Every religious pundit has their own justification for not comitting sin. The justifications will sometimes agree, but most of the times it is a war of who’s more righteous than the other. What amuses me is that most of the times, the idiots fail to realise that sin is as much a part of human nature as sex. You’re not human if you don’t sin and sinning is inextricably inevitable. It’s like they expect people to become super men and women by subscribing to some religious philosophy. No matter how much I believe I can fly, jumping off a cliff will still cause me to paint the rocks below me all different shades of red. 
Religious philosophy if anything only makes people more aware of the fact that they’re human. The danger in these systems is that they create so much pressure on people to adhere to these standards, that people tend to forget that we’re all bad guys by default (hence why we needed Jesus in the first place). It is human nature to be evil - that’s why we often describe pleasurable things as being “decadent” and “sinful” - as if pleasure in an of itself is a bad thing. If sin is pleasurable (a = b) and God designed human beings to enjoy pleasure (b = c), then just like how a = c, God designed humans to sin! Isn’t that just… wonderfully liberating? 
“Modern Capitalism is the art of creating a demand where no need exists.”
- Xenocrates
At some point in time in your life, you’ve given yourself to becoming exploited either by your emotional gullibility or your impetuous spontaneity. This has been made possible either by social or economic systems designed specifically to take advantage of the fact that you, like most of your friends, accept most of the things you see and believe for exactly what you perceive them to be the first time you see them.
Translation: You’re being exploited because you’re a dummy. If you answer yes to any of these, your stupid gene is alive and well. Rejoice:
“Most religions are based on the assumption that opinion is the same as fact.”
- Xenocrates
Which is the right religion? Is that even a valid question? When you consider the possible ramifications, the possibilities are staggering. How does someone who feels they need to add some sense of spirituality to their lives even begin to go about narrowing down their choices? We already know why religion exists - or at least, we know what the motivations for the creation of religion are. We covered that in the last post which described the true nature of God. But really, how does one even begin where this is concerned? Before you do that, we need to quickly examine to schools of thought where this is concerned; namely that of Religion and of a Philosophical Way of life. If you think that the two ideas are the same, then you’ve been grossly misinformed:
“God is the only being in the universe having any fun.”
- Xenocrates
In the previous post, I examined logical proof for the existence of some God. Today I will examine the nature of that God. One of the key sore points with most theists is that their definition of God contradicts their understanding of the universe. Needless to say, this gives most atheists fuel for their views, and makes most theists easy picking. Theists, particularly Christians, believe in the classical definition of God which are categorically false or self contradicting. It is by this that it becomes clear that most theists either don’t know what they believe in, or more likely, don’t understand what they believe in. A curious question can be asked from this point:
Is a belief, even if logically flawed, still transmutable to the correct idea on which it is based, or is belief bound to the idea on which it holds, even if it is an incorrect version of the original idea?
“The Universe always unfolds exactly as it should.”
- Xenocrates
Have you ever contemplated the existence of a God?
Most people believe in some God they can’t even define. Yet others are willing to believe so blindly that they are easily fooled and led to believe in virtually anything their gullible minds are capable of absorbing. The trouble with belief systems is that they rely on the believer to have faith - which is simultaneously our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. Faith is a form of hope based on unsubstantiated evidence - that’s why it’s not without a sense of deception. As such, any system of belief that requires faith for solubility, is an intrinsically dangerous belief. Because it is through these unprovable systems of belief that peoples have been oppressed and / or slaughtered - all for an idea for which people cannot substantiate.
I do not subscribe to blind faith based religion. In fact, if anything, I subscribe to a sustainable philosophical way of life. When the ideology becomes bogged down with the inexplicable specificity of religion, then it looses its philosophical meaning and becomes more about the rituals than the philosophical ideology. It doesn’t matter what labels people choose to use for religion. At the end of the day, they all boil down to the same thing - worship of the great unknown. Men have always worshipped the unknown. We’ve all been hard wired to subscribe to this idea through some genetic permutation, which no doubt is a part of the grand design. It is that grand design that fascinates me, and which led to my first truly deep philosophical epiphany:
We live in a Mechanised Universe.
