Jesus was right! Modern psychology, game theory, computerized game theory simulations, ethology (the study of animal behavior), anthropology, and sociobiology may not be the “hardest” (or totally dispassionately data-driven) sciences, like mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but they are still sciences. And they confirm much of what Jesus said! (Along with other ancient philosophers and theologians, who were the “psychologists” of their day, or simply, observers of human behaviors). This web page is organized around the “beatitudes” of the “Sermon on the Mount”.

I don’t want to repeat too terribly much of what I have written on my other web pages, but the below bears being repeated (and modified):

Jonathan Haidt, “The Righteous Mind”, https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Religion/dp/0307455777 . Haidt self-IDs openly as a liberal atheist, but (in a data-driven, tolerant, even-handed, and broad-minded manner) examines different (liberal v/s conservative) ways of thinking. He repeatedly cites Jesus, the Buddha, Confucius, and other ancient philosophers and-or theologians, showing their prescience, or agreement with modern science or semi-science-confirmed findings. That’s why I once again recommend this book, here.

The Eight Beatitudes Summarized

They say that “The Google Knows All”, so there’s plenty more out there to be found. I just grabbed one right off of the top of the list. Derived from https://www.htae.net/checklist/the-eight-beatitudes/409/ :

‘1) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

‘2) Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

‘3) Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

‘4) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

‘5) Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

‘6) Blessed are pure in heart, for they shall see God.

‘7) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

‘8) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Now below I will show how the above 8 ideas have been validated by more recent history, science, and culture. I will admittedly have to do a bit of “shoe-horning” (force-fitting), mostly by carefully picking or crafting definitions of some of Jesus’s word choices. He spoke a bit poetically or vaguely, of necessity. Just to pick one word for example, what does “righteousness” mean? I’ll just do the best I can, below, to demonstrate that generally, Jesus was correct, and that much of what he said, has been (to an amazing degree) validated by later science, etc..

‘1) Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit

How does anyone teach anything to a know-it-all? How does anyone coach another person, on how to become a better person, when he or she already holds himself or herself to be perfect? What stands in the way? Narcissism, arrogance, self-righteousness, and so forth. You cannot add anything to a vessel that is already full, or full of itself. What more needs to be added to this? Not much that I can see right now…

In modern parlance, “echo chambers” are also an impediment to open minds, and learning. So is “projection”, a psychological term meaning that we assume that everyone else is (and thinks like, and is motivated the same as) just like us. If we can’t be earnest, honest, or benevolent, we assume that other can’t be those things, either. Last but not least, there is “confirmation bias”, or hearing only what we want to hear! THAT most certainly does NOT help us to learn new things, or un-learn old, wrong things!

So be ye “poor in spirit”, and ye can learn new things! And probably just as important, you can un-learn wrong, old things!

‘2) Blessed Are Those Who Mourn

OK, let the shoe-horning begin! Who does NOT mourn the sufferings or deaths of others? People lacking the ability or desire to sympathize with others… Psychopaths! If you LACK the ability (or desire) to sympathize (empathize) with others, you are going to SUFFER in this world! Not always, in greatly visible ways, but you WILL suffer! On average, you will suffer more than those who are BLESSED with the ability to mourn, to fellow-feel the pain, the sufferings, and the deaths of others.

Treat others as you would like to be treated, and they will (generally) respond in kind. Poop on them, and they will ALSO, on average, figure out who you are, and what you are about, and NOT treat you very well in turn! Karma, what comes around, goes around, and, as you sow, so shall you reap!

Modern ethology (the study of animal behavior) bears this out. Many species have an innate sense of justice; even such a small (and small-brained) primate species as a marmoset. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequity_aversion_in_animals and https://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-arts-and-sciences/callitrichid/publications/2016/Mustoe%20et%20al,%20Anim%20Behav%202016.pdf and more. Don’t EVEN think that your “inferiors” are too stupid to figure out that you’re ripping them off!

Even animals far simpler and less intelligent than humans engage in “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” (but not if you don’t). Research animal reciprocity and animal altruism, kin altruism, etc. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_altruism#:~:text=In%20evolutionary%20biology%2C%20reciprocal%20altruism,manner%20at%20a%20later%20time , see this excerpt: “Numerous species of bacteria engage in reciprocal altruistic behaviors with other species.” If even bacteria can see the benefits of cooperation, then surely humans should be able to do the same!

In higher (and social, intelligent) animals, we see more of the same, and even more complexities. Study “Dunbar’s Number” as a related topic. We keep track of each other, and how each of us treat others, and act accordingly! Politically, even! See https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/22/science/22angi.html Political Animals (Yes, Animals) By Natalie Angier “Researchers who study highly gregarious and relatively brainy species like rhesus monkeys, baboons, dolphins, sperm whales, elephants and wolves have lately uncovered evidence that the creatures engage in extraordinarily sophisticated forms of politicking, often across large and far-flung social networks.”

If the social (and political!) behavior of intelligent, social animals backs up the idea of “tread carefully, because as you sow, so shall you reap”, then SURELY we as happiness-seeking humans should pay heed to that! So then… Mourn the pains, sufferings, and deaths of others, exercise your “mirror neurons”, practice some fellow-feeling, and you will be blessed with more genuine and long-term happiness!

Almost as a footnote, let me add, lack of mirror neurons can yield autism, apparently (according to many psychologists at the very least), but that does NOT equate to malice or evil! Autists don’t understand many forms of suffering (social or “feelings” sufferings of others), often. Psychopaths understand, but don’t care! That latter VASTLY overwhelm the former, in terms of damages done! I’ll leave it to the reader to research that some more, as desired. Don’t forget… The Google Knows All Things!

‘3) Blessed Are The Meek

Well then, the first and most obvious questions are, who are the meek? And what does it mean to be meek? Perhaps we can start out with, who are the NOT-meek! They are: Loud, obnoxious, aggressive, greedy, wild, and NOT submissive to ANYTHING (or anyone), unless they are forced to be so! Wild = NOT tamed, not subordinated to anything. They don’t have much fellow-feeling, but they fake it when they have to. For a discussion on fellow-feeling, see #2 right above here. (These kinds of things all smear together).

“Meek” doesn’t have to mean always quiet, shy, and un-assertive. It certainly doesn’t mean “weak”! The meek can and do assert themselves when a higher cause is at stake! But they understand that they are on MUCH firmer grounds when they defend OTHERS, instead of just purely themselves! And they understand that mere “pride” (false pride, vain pride, stuck-up, full-of-yourself pride) is NOT a legitimate cause for the forceful defense of others, and MOST certainly, NOT purely for oneself!

To tie this into “the science”, search for yourself for more, of course, but here’s one: https://www.lifehack.org/403757/study-finds-people-with-ambitious-goals-are-happier-and-more-satisfied … Study Finds People With Ambitious Goals Are Happier And More Satisfied, by Tara Massan . Source links = A study conducted in 2003 at the University of Rochester and then https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656608001360 … Summarized, this article (and some others) say that setting realistic, attainable goals for yourself can lead to more happiness. Goals of money-power-fame (“hard” goals), however, do NOT lead to as much happiness as do “soft” goals (personal growth and learning, and helping other people). “Work is love made visible”, and working for the good of others leads to good things for oneself as well. See “enlightened self-interest”! “Meek” can also mean highly productive! In the old farming days, a big strong (but very tame) plow-horse was “meek”, but not “weak”, AND was highly productive!

Compare and contrast that with the “unquenchable thirst” for always more, more, and then yet some more, money-fame-power!

Those who worship the money-power-status variety of “success” would be well served by listening to the words of “The Boss”, AKA Bruce Springsteen… From the song “Badlands”, which is an anthem to the pursuit of TRUE happiness:

Poor man wanna be rich,

Rich man wanna be king,

And a king ain’t satisfied,

Till he rules everything!

Rule EVERYTHING? Really?!? Nah! Not gonna happen! So this mentality is a sure-fire guarantee for dissatisfaction, for unhappiness. Be ye then meek instead of wild, untamed, aggressive, and greedy!

‘4) Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

OK, then, of course, we need to define, what is “righteousness”? Being a “mensch”, a salt of the Earth, a dependably reliable source of wisdom and benevolence. If we can be allowed the use of a 4-letter word, to be “righteous” is to be full of “love”! Balanced love, balancing love for oneself, for one’s friends and family, and, yes, even for one’s enemies! And for the Earth and the trees, and grass and bunny-rabbits and the long-term future for all. All balanced together.

See items 1-2-&-3 above to justify this one further. They all smear together anyway. I have no more ethology or psychology articles or findings to shoe-horn in on “#4” here, at this time.

Well OK then, just ONE item, but it is a whole book! Evil is a strong opposite of righteousness! Don’t be evil! To understand evil better (and to see that it SURE doesn’t lead to blessedness or happiness), read M. Scott Peck, “People of the Lie, the Hope for Healing Human Evil”, https://www.amazon.com/People-Lie-Hope-Healing-Human/dp/0684848597

‘5) Blessed Are The Merciful

The merciful are NOT fond of punishing others! "Beware of all those in whom the urge to punish is strong." - Friedrich Nietzsche “Mistrust all those in whom the desire to punish is imperative.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The merciful forgive others for their shortcomings! If you as a business-owner or boss, never forgive any transgressions or shortcomings of your workers, you will always fire them all! See how much success and happiness THAT brings you! The same goes for “firing” (dumping) all of your imperfect friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc.

For the science here, search for game theory, game theory computer simulations, “tit for tat”, and forgiveness. If the computer simulation makes ANY serious attempt to REALLY accurately simulate the real world, it will note the “noise in the system”. You accidentally step on my toes, so I will retaliate! (“Noise” meaning random accidents and misunderstandings). Then we are stuck in “tit for tat” forever, if we have no forgiveness provisions in the system! There is an “endless cycle of violence”, which can only be broken is someone, somewhere, absorbs a blow, and does NOT strike back!

“The Google” knows plenty about all of this! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_for_tat for starters. Also http://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolution-the-self/201607/the-prisoner-s-dilemma-and-the-virtues-tit-tat and then also https://plus.maths.org/content/mathematical-mysteries-survival-nicest Mathematical mysteries: Survival of the nicest? This latter-most one cuts to the chase the fastest, as far as goes, the vital necessity of adding some forgiveness to the system, for optimal results.

For more on forgiveness, see https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-forgiving-life/202208/5-key-lessons-the-study-forgiveness ... Forgiveness is a moral virtue and not just a psychology technique! And it isn’t JUST a dessert topping, or just a floor wax, either! It is MANY things, to MANY peoples!

‘6) Blessed Are The Pure in Heart

Oh, boy! WHO are the pure in heart? Well, let my just “wing it”, and take a stab at it! Their hearts aren’t polluted with excessive tribalism… “My tribe GOOD, your tribe BAD, my violence GOOD, your violence BAD”… Or short-sightedness, arrogance, or any other in a long list of various evils. The “pure in heart” are those who regularly “weed their spiritual gardens”, as some have put it. They maintain their sanity by questioning their own sanity on a regular basis! Those of us who NEVER doubt Our Own, Most Certainly PERFECT Sanity? THOSE ones of us are in danger of falling into the very worst kinds of insanity!

I haven’t any “science” to shoe-horn in on this one! Let me just add Mahatma Gandhi’s “7 Sins that Lead to Violence” as items that one needs to “weed one’s garden” for, that we may be “pure in heart”: From https://www.scribd.com/document/136921501/7-Sins-Gandhi ,

‘1) Wealth without work,

‘2) Pleasure without conscience,

‘3) Knowledge without character,

‘4) Commerce without morality,

‘5) Science without humanity,

‘6) Worship without sacrifice, and

‘7) Politics without principle.

I have no proof of this, but I suspect that the more “pure of heart” that we are, the more than we will be free of fear and paranoia! I am doing the right things, for the right motives! What can “they” do to me, then, to “MAKE” me feel guilt or paranoia, if I don’t want to? Nothing! “They can take my body, but not my soul!” (Can’t take away my self-respect if you want to make it more secular or less mystical).

On the other hand, here is an utterly ancient, but short and sweet, and apt, description of paranoia (fear) and its opposite: https://biblia.com/bible/esv/proverbs/28/1 “The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion”.

Getting back to Gandhi’s “7 Sins”, the SCRIBD link above is less than totally accessible (you have to sign in). Is there a better link for more details? http://joesdining.com/uncategorized/worship-without-sacrifice/#:~:text=For%20instance%20Mahatma%20Gandhi%20developed,(7)Worship%20Without%20Sacrifice for one. I am sure that you can find more! I skimmed this last one that I just posted. Maybe it could be summarized along the following lines, which is something that I have thought for a long time: Don’t bother so much with sacrificing to God, by giving your religious organization more money to build more sacred buildings with. Don’t bother so much with giving up your favorite food. Sacrifice (give up) to your God (or your ethics or your conscience or whatever you want to call it) your hate, self-righteousness, chauvinistic tribalism, incoherent anger, your fear, and your other net negativities. Please! Sacrificing THESE things will make a MUCH bigger, positive difference, in all likelihood!

‘7) Blessed Are The Peacemakers

Peace is most precious! HOW does one make peace? By compromising on the little things, focusing on the big things, and eliminating false pride. There are no ethical dimensions to eating with chopsticks v/s forks and spoons, so put those kinds of things TOTALLY out of your ethical calculus! The same thing is true of religious rituals and dogmas, if they have little or no ethical dimensions. Also do not let the “tyranny of small differences” (use that as a search-string) trip you up, in religion, politics, or anything else! Also give up your “conspicuous consumption” and other quests for flaunted status and power! That, too, will help the cause of peace!

To pick just ONE concrete example (of various ethically-indifferent items or actions being Holy to different people), let’s say, you as a Christian solemnify your belief and practice by “eating the flesh of Jesus” (bread) and “drinking His blood” (wine, which is, OMG, a mind-altering substance!). OK, no problem! Now then, don’t give the members of the Native American Church a hard time for ceremonially eating peyote buttons!

Fire can be fought with fire, yes. See “setting a fire-break” (sometimes with fire) in fighting forest fires. Or “prescribed burns”. The same is true in war, or in a “just war”. Sometimes despots recognize NO other language, other than FORCE! That’s a whole topic to itself. But let me drag in 2 quotes: Isaac Asimov, “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”, discussed at https://www.resilience.org/stories/2015-08-20/the-last-refuge-of-the-incompetent/#:~:text=The%20science%20fiction%20author%20Isaac,to%20that%20in%20a%20moment for example. See also http://cup.columbia.edu/book/why-civil-resistance-works/9780231156820 ... About a book that shows that non-violent revolutions succeed more often than violent revolutions, in recent history.

And then see a Dwight D. Eisenhower quote ( https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/dwight_d_eisenhower_165216 ) about “Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.”

I’m about all tapped out. No more “science” here for this item, at least for now, sorry…

‘8) Blessed Are They Which Are Persecuted for Righteousness Sake

For this one, I have written an entire (but fairly short) web page, to cover it in detail. Sociobiology vets THIS one EXTREMELY well! See http://www.churchofsqrls.com/Do_Gooders_Bad/ … Done!

I don’t want to repeat too much of what I’ve already written in the above-linked web page. However, lets’ tie ALL of this together. In our evolutionary history, it looks to be EXTREMELY likely that proto-eukaryotes assimilated proto-mitochondria (etc.) to create today’s eukaryotes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis . Then many millions of years later, eukaryotes joined together to create multi-cellular animals. Then through kin altruism and other mechanisms (arguably to perhaps also include “group selection”), groups of animals joined together cooperatively. Global human altruism… The ancient ideal of “all men are brothers”… Is the next step in CULTURAL (as opposed to more-purely biological) evolution, in tying us all together in ever-higher forms of mutually-beneficial, cooperative organization. This latest linking agent isn’t biochemical, so much, any more (oxytocin considerations to the side), it is your free-will CONSCIENCE that is the bonding agent!

Let’s back up and re-state. Our human brains today are evolutionary hodge-podges of layer stacked upon layer. Fish brain, then amphibian brain, reptile brain, monkey brain, ape brain, and hunter-gatherer brain. My-tribe-right, your-tribe-is-lesser (or worse) belongs to hunter-gatherer brain. Prophets and seers, seekers and teachers, throughout the years, have criticized their tribes for this. “This ain’t right”, they say! They have called us forwards into the next stage of evolution! And they (at the extremes) have been killed for it! Now again, see http://www.churchofsqrls.com/Do_Gooders_Bad/ for details, but this “kill-the-prophets” thing is likely programmed (instinctively or emotionally) into the hunter-gatherer brain. A polite phrase for it is the “do-gooder derogation” instinct. A more in-your-face term for it might be to call it the Jesus-killer (Mahatma Gandhi-killer, Martin Luther King Jr.-killer, etc.) instinct. There’s very little good news in there for the INDIVIDUAL prophet or teacher. What little good news in this phenomenon is that AFTER we have killed the prophet, THEN we often at least START to listen to what they had to say!

“Blessed is the individual who XYZ” is often true, yes, and that is detailed above. But the BIGGER picture includes pain and suffering for the individuals who XYZ. A re-statement then is “blessed is the society who has, or has had, many XYZ-type individuals”. Now THAT catches the bigger picture! (I don’t care to get into the metaphysics or supernatural or life-after-death-blessings angle, because I know nothing about it).

If you really “get” the beatitudes, though, it’s not all about you (or about me either!). It’s also or maybe even more-so about the bigger picture. I think that Jesus was very wise to put what he put last, this beatitude #8, which is a bit hard to swallow. “It ain’t right”, justice-wise, it seems! But it is what it is. It drives home the need for thinking of the “bigger picture”.

Overview-Summary, Mostly Sociobiological

In summary (of both this page here and of http://www.churchofsqrls.com/Do_Gooders_Bad/ also), “My tribe GOOD, your tribe BAD”, and by simple extension, “My tribe’s violence GOOD, your tribe’s violence BAD” seem to be behavior-genetics-wise embedded into the human brain, sad to say. But genetics isn’t destiny! Awareness of this whole thing is the first step towards fixing it! We DO have free will; we aren’t just “meat puppets”!

It does get worse, however. We aren’t merely just self-righteous by genetic programming; we are also prone to making up lies about our “tribal enemies”, in order to justify attacking them! Not to make you retch, but please recall your history. And not to pick on Christians too much; this is just the history that I am most familiar with. Dark-ages Christians spread horrible lies about “witches” (pre-Christian Wiccans, pagans, etc.) in order to justify witch-burnings, witch-drownings, etc. And the same with rumors about Jews and (ugh!) drinking the blood of Christian babies, etc. (Sorry I had to go there).

This, too, may be at least somewhat genetically programmed. See https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/566982-terrifying-new-study-says-our-conspiracy-theory-epidemic and (same thing) https://www.salon.com/2021/08/08/a-terrifying-new-theory-fake-news-and-conspiracy-theories-as-an-evolutionary-strategy/
A terrifying new theory: Fake news and conspiracy theories as an evolutionary strategy.

Social scientist Michael Bang Petersen on why people believe outrageous lies — as a tool in violent group conflict.

So we instinctively hold fast to the lies that we WANT to believe, to mark our tribal allegiances! And to pre-justify “my tribe’s violence GOOD, and YOUR tribe’s violence BAD!” This is next to impossible to “educate away”, since it is so primordial. It’s not a matter of FACTS; it is FAR more so, a matter of tribal alliances and allegiances, and political (and even physical, in times of war) survival.

The true nature of reality has very-very little to do with short-term political success. That’s what the above-cited article is all about! Short-term political success has MUCH more to do with signaling that “I am part of OUR tribe! I hold ALL of the wacky beliefs that OUR tribe holds, whether they are true, or not! My tribe’s violence GOOD; THEIR tribe’s violence is BAD! So when our tribal chieftain is looking to whack the bad guys with a stick… Remember! I am one of the GOOD guys! I go with the untruths of OUR tribe, NOT those of the BAD tribe!”

Dear Reader, I’m sorry to rain on your parade! All I can add, that amounts to much, is that Love is the anti-dote to the above. “Love” most certainly includes resisting tribal stupidity, and treating individuals as individuals, not as mere representatives of their tribes. Sometimes, due to “do-gooder derogation”, your doing the right things will get you killed! Just as Jesus, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. were killed for speaking moral-ethical truths, often largely concerning this exact same thing!

Love wins in the end! Keep the Faith!

Donald Trump – Evil and Dangerous!

Well Dear Readers, I’ve tried to be reasonably even-handed here on this web page, in vague hopes that it might go viral or semi-viral. No such luck, and it has been posted for quite some time (I’ve lost track… Close to a year by now I think). I’ve tried (as a libertarian or “classical liberal”) to be even-handed between liberals (as defined today) and conservatives. In the USA today, now that Trump has ruined the Republican Party for who-knows-how-long, I’ve decided to “let it all hang out” on this page. So here goes a new, short section, as of 13 Dec. 2021. If I lose potential Republican readers, so be it… It looks like I’ve not gone viral anyway! Nor am I likely to do so! “The Google Which Knows All” tells me that there are now more than 1.7 billion web sites. But if you want to share a copy of my writings here, with a Republican friend of yours, you might want to delete this section right here. Tribal loyalties and “confirmation bias” might otherwise lead your friend to conclude that I am an evil Demon-Crap, for having written what I wrote below!

“My tribe’s violence GOOD, your tribe’s violence BAD” gets even worse. It has now become (well, it has historically done the same at other times and places also; “Nothing new under the sun” here) “My Tribe’s Holy Lies leading to violence against your tribe GOOD; your tribe’s evil lies leading to violence against My Tribe BAD”. https://www.salon.com/2021/08/08/a-terrifying-new-theory-fake-news-and-conspiracy-theories-as-an-evolutionary-strategy/ A terrifying new theory: Fake news and conspiracy theories as an evolutionary strategy… From there, “Social scientist Michael Bang Petersen on why people believe outrageous lies — as a tool in violent group conflict”.

Forthwith, a short list of my favorite web sites spelling out just WHY I think that Donald Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime example of an evil and dangerous person. “The Google” can tell you MUCH more, easily! See The Atlantic article https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/donald-trump-scandals/474726/, “The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet” … OK, that one is semi-pay-walled, so see the same thing (same article) at https://feedreader.com/observe/theatlantic.com/politics%252Farchive%252F2016%252F10%252Fdonald-trump-scandals%252F474726%252F%253Futm_source%253Dfeed/+view .

Or see this one… https://reason.com/2019/09/02/republicans-choose-trumpism-over-property-rights-and-the-rule-of-law/. The Atlantic article (and earlier, similar documentation) shows Trump to be unprincipled, greedy, and selfish. Before the 2016 elections, there was PLENTY of information available to the “R” voters (even at the primaries) to show us all, the true nature of Trump. He knew how to make Himself (and His) rich, even at the expense of ripping off His creditors (in 6 bankruptcies), not paying His workers, ripping off students in His “How to Get Rich Like Me” real estate “school”, etc.

I suspect that many voters voted for Him anyway, thinking, “So, He has a GREAT record of ripping others off! So SURELY He can rip off other nations, other ethnic groups, etc., in trade wars and border wars, for the benefit of ALL of us!!!”… Many voters; not all. Some just didn’t know any better. I can understand why some “R” voters couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary in the fall. But… Voting Trump in the “R” PRIMARIES?!? There were some clearly better, other choices!!!

Now hyper-partisan tribalism has run amok. Let me just trot out a grab-bag of the worst: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11051015/Trump-calls-homeless-camps-DC-speech-leaving-White-House.html Trump's toughest talk YET! Calls for homeless to be put in camps, says executing drug dealers would save thousands of lives and calls US a 'cesspool of crime where MS-13 are cutting up girls'

https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/26/media/trump-interviews-reliable-sources/index.html Trump's new interviews and appearances show that a storm is brewing … Trump was in the middle of a fact-free rant about "vicious" Democrats cheating on elections when he said "they're destroying our country.

Bring ON the 1-party "R" state!”

See CNN poll; 78% of Republicans now say the elections were stolen! https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hype-arizona-audit-result-seems-unaware-confirms-biden-win-2021-9 “Trump accused Democrats of trying to distract from the Arizona audit results, seemingly unaware that they confirm Biden's victory”… From https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/15/politics/cnn-poll-most-americans-democracy-under-attack/index.html , “Among Republicans, 78% say that Biden did not win…”

Republicans say take matters into your own hands… https://www.businessinsider.com/47-percent-gop-voters-patriots-take-law-own-hands-poll-2021-7 “Nearly half of Republicans say 'a time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands,' new poll shows” … AKA, “Burn the vote-stealing witches!!” https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2021/08/will-us-pass-point-no-return/619739/ Will the U.S. Pass a Point of No Return?

See? We are ALL data-driven by now! My data says the OTHER (evil) tribe believes in vaccines, so MY tribe must BAN and SHUN the BAD tribe (and their cooties) as much as possible! The unvaccinated are now CLEAN and the vaccinated are UNCLEAN! Civic-minded BAD! Afraid of micro-chips in vaccines GOOD! Black is white, and good is evil!

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/theres-word-what-trumpism-becoming/619418/ “There’s a Word for What Trumpism Is Becoming” The relentless messaging by Trump and his supporters has inflicted a measurable wound on American democracy.

My comments: This approach (if followed) leaves us with only “R” Party votes held as valid… AKA, 1-party rule! One social media (Reason.com comments) I REPEATEDLY ask the “R”-Party fascists, “Can you name me just ONE historical example of a 1-party state that led to long-term peace and prosperity, for the peons as well as the ruling-party kleptocrats?” I get no answers… Only insults! THIS is indicative of authoritarianism… “Because I say so” is expected to be a sufficient answer!

A Trumpsmas Message of Hope, Peace, and Joy

In these times of divisive troubles, we all need a little unifying Lift, yes? So I present to you, a Timeless, Empowering Story of Trumpsmas Joy!

And it came to pass, that The Lord Trump descended from the penthouse of The Trump Hotel at Mar-a-Lago. He ascended the flag-draped speaker’s podium, and had an acolyte apply some touch-up bronzer. He ascended the Mount of Olives, and of Pineapples, and of Anchovies. Then He spake unto the assembled mass of 5 million:

“I come unto ye to bring messages of Joy and Peace! Do NOT be confused by the lamestream media, nor by the Demon-rats, who speak of many strange wonders! They speak of many YUUGE lies, and of half-truths! Some say that I am the Son of God! Some say that I am the Son of Man! Some say that I am the Great White Father! Or the Great Pumpkin! Or the Great Whitish-Orangish Pumpkin-Father! But I am none of those things! I come to be before you, as an Humble Man, with MUCH bigness to my humbleness… You may simply call me the Chosen One! Even the lamestream media knows this! https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-49429661 The American voters, the REAL, legitimate voters… The NON-Demon-rat ones, have overwhelmingly chosen MEEE! THAT is why I am the Chosen One!”

He paused, momentarily, there on the top of the Mount of Olives, and of Pineapples, and of Anchovies, as thunderous applause deafened everyone for miles around. He tried to wave down the crowd, for silence. But in their jubilation, the crowd spontaneously broke out into a chant! “Dominos Pizza-Pie REEEquiem, Dominos Pizza-Pie REEEquiem, Dominos Pizza-Pie REEEquiem”, they chanted, over and over, and yet over, again! Sensing their spiritual and bodily hungers, The Lord Trump discreetly ordered a single, solitary pizza and a basket full of anchovies, which arrived nearly instantly. Then The Lord Trump broke off pieces of pizza, and dished out the anchovies, which somehow managed to feed the crowd of five million!

With their hunger now sated, The Lord Trump was finally able to calm the masses, and silence their cheering, so that He could, once again, be heard. The Lord Trump spake once again, saying unto them, “Behold, now begins a time of troubles! The Dark Lord has bin bidin’ his time, which has now come! I will be swallowed up by the Penthouse of The Trump Hotel at Mar-a-Lago, for 4 years of dark nights and troubled days, and I know, you will miss Me terribly! But then the Boulder of Voter Fraud will mysteriously be shoved aside, and I will emerge once more! Trust bigly in Me, but bigly JUST in Me!!!”

The Lord Trump waited for a long time, for the applause to die down, and then continued, “While I am gone, the Faithful shall honor Me on the last Thursday of each November, giving Thanks that I have shown Good Americans The Truth and The Way. You shall slay the Great Pumpkin, and eat of the Pumpkin Pie, saying, ‘This is the Body of The Lord Trump. Eat it with Joy and Gladness’. Then ye shall drink of the cranberry juice, saying. ‘This is the Blood of The Lord Trump. Drink it with Anticipation of the Defeat of the Forces of Evil, and of the Demon-rats’. This, do in honor of MEEE!”

The applause was overwhelming and unstoppable, so The Lord Trump escaped in His Helicopter, to the Penthouse of The Trump Hotel at Mar-a-Lago, leaving the crowd to festering in the gathering stormy weather. There were no busses provided for the crowds, but that was OK by them, for they were full of Great Trumpsmas Joy!

Man Your Battle Stations! The Bider-Grunch has stolen Trumpsmas!!!

The Bider-Grunch has stolen Trumpsmas!!! Get a grip, people, and focus on the BIGLY problems around here!!! Man the battle stations, full speed ahead, and DAMN the Lizard People AND their mind-controlled vote thieves!!!

How the Bider-Grunch Stole Trumpsmas

‘Twas the night before Trumpsmas,

And all through the lands,

Patriotic feelings were stirring our glands!

The voters ALL firmly fixed to vote RED!

Vote BLUE?!? They’d rather be dead!

Visions of Eternal Redness danced in their heads!

The Great Whitish-Orangish Pumpin-Father would soon be there!

All one-party Republican states would soon be square!

While every You Down in Youville Liked Trumpsmas a lot...
But the Bider-Grunch, who lived just north of Youville, Did NOT!
The Bider-Grunch hated Trumpsmas! The whole Trumpsmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Whatever the reason, His heart or his shoes,
He stood there on Trumpsmas Eve, hating the Yous,
Staring down from his cave with a sour, Grunchy frown,
At the warm lighted windows below in their town.

For he knew every You would vote Trump,
THIS, bigly, made the Grunch a real grump!.
"And they're preparing ballots!" he snarled with a sneer,
"Tomorrow is Trumpsmas! It's practically here!"
Then he growled, with his Grunch fingers nervously drumming,
"I MUST find some way to stop Trumpsmas from coming!"
For Tomorrow, he knew, all the You girls and boys,
Would wake bright and early. They'd rush for their toys!
And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise!
Noise! Noise! Noise!
That's one thing he hated! The NOISE!
NOISE! NOISE! NOISE!
Then the Yous, young and old, would sit down to a feast.
And they'd feast! And they'd feast! And they'd FEAST!
FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!
They would feast on You-pudding, and rare You-roast beast.
Which was something the Bider-Grunch couldn't stand in the least!
And THEN They'd do something He liked least of all!
Every You down in Youville, the tall and the small,
Would stand close together, with Trumpsmas bells ringing.
They'd stand hand-in-hand. And the Yous would start singing!
They'd sing! And they'd sing! And they'd SING!
SING! SING! SING!
And the more the Grunch thought of this You TrumpsmasSing,
The more the Grunch thought, "I must stop this whole thing!"
"Why, for four years I've put up with it now!"
"I MUST stop this Trumpsmas from coming! But HOW?"
Then he got an idea! An awful idea!
THE GRUNCH GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
"I know just what to do!" The Bider-Grunch laughed in his throat.
And he made a quick MAGA hat and a coat.
And he chuckled, and clucked, "What a great Grunchy trick!"
"With this coat and this hat, I look just like Saint Prick!"
"All I need is a Proud Boy..." The Bider-Grunch looked around.
But, since Proud Boys are scarce, there was none to be found.
Did that stop the old Grunch? No! The Grunch simply said,
"If I can't find a Proud Boy, I'll make one instead!"

So he called his cat, Chairman Meow. Then he took some red thread,
And he tied a big MAGA hat on the top of his head.
Then he loaded many bags and sacks, made ‘em all fit somehow,

On a ramshackle sleigh, and he hitched up Chairman Meow..
Then the Grunch said, "Giddap!" And the sleigh started down,
Toward the homes where the Whos Lay asnooze in their town.
All their windows were dark. Quiet snow filled the air.
All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care.
When he came to the first little house on the square.
"This is stop number one," the Grunchy fake-Trump hissed,
And he climbed to the roof, empty bags in his fist.
Then he slid down the chimney. To his fat gut, a punch.
But, if Trump could do it, then so could the Grunch.
He got stuck only once, for a moment or two.
Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue.
Where the little You ballots all hung in a row.
"These ballots," he grinned, "are the first things to go!"
Then he slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant,
Around the whole room, and he took every vote!

This, surely, would get the You’s goat!

And he stuffed them in bags. Then the Grunch, very nimbly,
Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimney!
Then he slunk to the icebox. He took the Yous' feast!
He took the You-pudding! He took the roast beast!
He cleaned out that icebox as quick as a flash.
Why, that Grunch even took their last can of You-hash!
Then he stuffed all the food up the chimney with glee.
"And NOW!" grinned the Bider-Grunch, "I will stuff up the tree!"
And the Bider-Grunch grabbed the tree, and he started to shove,
When he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove.
He turned around fast, and he saw a small You!
Little Cindy-Lou You, who was not more than two.
The Grunch had been caught by this tiny You daughter,
Who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water.
She stared at the Grunch and said, "Lord Trump, why,”
"Why are you taking our Trumpsmas tree? WHY?"
But, you know, that old Grunch was so smart and so slick,
He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick!
"Why, my sweet little tot," the fake Lord Trump lied,
"There's a light on this tree that won't light on one side."
"So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear."
"I'll fix it up there. Then I'll bring it back here."
And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head,
And he got her a drink and he sent her to bed.
And when CindyLou You went to bed with her cup,
He went to the chimney and stuffed the tree up!
Then the last thing he took Was the log for their fire!
Then he went up the chimney, himself, the old liar.
On their walls he left nothing but hooks and some wire.
And the one speck of food That he left in the house,
Was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse.
Then He did the same thing To the other Yous' houses
Leaving crumbs much too small For the other Yous' mouses!
It was quarter past dawn... All the Yous, still a-bed,
All the Yous, still asnooze When he packed up his sled,
Packed it up with all of their ballots… ALL of their votes!

THIS, the fake Lord Trump grumped, will get ALL of their goats!
Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit,
He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!
"Pooh-Pooh to the Yous!" he was Grunchishly humming.
"They're finding out now that no Trumpsmas is coming!"
"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!"
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
Then the Yous down in Youville will all cry Boo-Hoo!"
"That's a noise," grinned the Bider-Grunch, "That I simply MUST hear!"
So he paused. And the Bider-Grunch put his hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low. Then it started to grow.
But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry!
It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!
He stared down at Youville! The Grunch popped his eyes!
Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise!
Every You down in Youville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any Trump-votes at all!
He HADN'T stopped Trumpsmas from coming! IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the Grunch, with his Grunch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?"

The Grunch-light came on! “Yes! Now I know!

The Yous down in Youville, they’re really quite slow!

Their election’s been stolen, but the whole Trumpsmas glow,

Overwhelms EVERYTHING, even democracy!

They’ll lie bigly, and impose mobocracy!”

So the Bider-Grunch whipped out his cell phone,

Called the Lizard People, who send out a drone,

Mind-controlled them ALL, as is Lizard habit,

Now NO ONE could save them, not even Saint Babbitt!

So THAT’s the Sad Story of the bad Bider-Grunch,

Who stole Trumpsmas, the elections, AND your lunch!

Hang Mike Pence! Don’t Fear the Revolt!

(According to The Gospel of The Donald)

Don’t fear the revolt!

(insurrection)!

All our times have come

Here, but now they’re gone

Seasons don’t fear the revolt

Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain

(We can be like they are)

Come on, baby

(Don’t fear the revolt)

Baby, take my hand

(Don’t fear the revolt)

We’ll be able to fly

Baby, I’m your man

La, la la, la la

Valentine is done

Here but now they’re gone

Are together in eternity

Mash Letter from The Donald to Leona Helmsley

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Won’t you come here,

And join My Crew?

Won’t you please join My Quest?

The honest taxpayers, to molest?

I like to collect babes, as if they were Cocker Spaniels,

You’d look quite nice, right next to Stormy Daniels!

You’d be quite sexy, in My YUUGE harem,

With My BIGLY contributors, I like to share ‘em!

“Taxes are for the little people”

For a campaign slogan, it sounds GREAT!

Won’t you help Me fool the greedy sheeple?

To their suffering, you and I, we could masturbate!

Brad Parscale, My old campaign pal,

Wants to kill himself, what killer style!

Won’t you stay with Me a while,

And be My campaign gal?

STOP THE PRESSES!!! INSERT HOTTEST NEWS FLASH!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!

Trump finally (Sort of) concedes!

My most-senior inside contact at the Shadow White House has surreptitiously slipped me an advance copy of the ex-lame-duck POTUS’s concession speech. Without further ado, here it is:

Friends, non-foreigner-type True Americans, and all who Make America Great Again, lend me your ears! I come to bury Biden, not to praise him. Biden and his minions stole the elections, and we must dishonor that! To Make America Great Again, we must invent the most fantastic, fabulous, YUUUGEST BIGNESS EVAH SEEN, in the ways of truly factually fictitious, but Spiritually and Metaphorically True, NEW Republican ballots! Because I have directed My Generals and My Scientists to research the current and past performance, efficacy, and patriotism of one-party states, versus multi-party states. As I have directed them to, My impartial, unbiased, data-driven council of My Generals and My Scientists have determined that yea verily, one-party states work better! Therefore, we must all strive for the Glorious Day, when America becomes a one-party state, under the One True Party, the Republican Party!

But for now, the courts have sided with Biden and his camel-toe, and Antifa, BLM, and all the Marxist terrorists. We must let the courts have it their way, with mayo on the side. I mean, with Mao Tse Tung on the side, but without the Proud Boys standing back and standing by. Thank you, Proud Boys, for having stood by me. Also, thank you, Steve Bannon, Vladimir Putin, Kim Ill Dung, and Pepe the Stolen-Intellectual-Property Frog. Pepe, watch out for Miss Piggy, she and her “pre-nuptial contracts” will clean your clock, just like Melania is set to clean mine soon! But I digest.

So we can’t disrepute what the nasty courts have said, or there might be civil war. Sad! The courts aren’t very American these days! And if you don’t like what I just said? Well, I’m sorry that you feel that way!

So congratulations to Biden for having stolen the elections! This is America, so we must properly honor the decisions of the courts, in a dishonorable way! Biden can come and live with us in the White House, per the wishes of the courts. He can pour our covfefe for us, for Steve Bannon, Pepe the Frog, and I, and Jill can make sandwiches for us. We promise to call him POTUS, and her, First Lady! POTUS of covfefe, and First Lady of sandwiches, that is! Hey Biden! Get yer butt over here! Pepe needs some covfefe!

That setup will get us by for a little while! Meanwhile, we can schedule the NEW run-off elections, this time without any fraudulent so-called “Democratic” votes being allowed, and we can do this RIGHT the next time!

Meanwhile, congratulations to Joe Stalin-Biden, on being elected POTUS of pouring covfefe for Pepe!

Don’t Confuse “Is” With “Should Be”

One semi-last section, on sociobiology. Very conservative (Biblical-literalist-types) will accuse evolution-believing (sociobiology-believing) persons of excusing humans for “just acting like beasts”. If we are mere beasts, then we have an excuse for acting like beasts! Well, the good will be good, and find “excuses” for being good, looking into “Holy Books”, or sociobiology, or any other “thing”, ideology, etc. And the evil will be evil, and do the exact same thing! Do what they want to do, and figure out the justification later!

Well anyway, I wanted to briefly mention “infanticide and sociobiology”. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide_(zoology) for some basics. Male animals (lions, monkeys, etc.) will kill the youngest, when they take over a group (pride, troop, tribe, what have you), to make space for spreading THEIR genes, instead of the previous father(s)!

Does this make it RIGHT that humans should behave similarly? The beasts do it, so we can (should), too? Clearly not! This is absurd! But here comes my fundamental point: To NOT discuss (to ignore) this (or any other) negative programmed behavioral tendency, is to lose an opportunity to be aware, and on guard! As Jesus said, “The truth will set you free”! Deliberate ignorance is (just about absolutely) ALWAYS a hazard!

Let me quote from the above-cited Wikipedia link, “Humans and infanticide” section: “Family structure is the most important risk factor in child abuse and infanticide. Children who live with both their natural (biological) parents are at low risk for abuse. The risk increases greatly when children live with step-parents or with a single parent. Children living without either parent (foster children) are 10 times more likely to be abused than children who live with both biological parents. Children who live with a single parent that has a live-in partner are at the highest risk: they are 20 times more likely to be victims of child abuse than children living with both biological parents.”

So there you have it! Whether we like to admit it or not, many of us DO act like beasts! ONE of the practical take-ways (in terms of public policy) is that we should only VERY reluctantly, in the WORST cases, take children away from both biological parents, and hand them over to foster parents. Hand them over to close biological relatives if possible. This makes sociobiological sense. And… Teach your youngsters to reproduce in a careful, responsible manner! Having 5 children by 4 different fathers is NOT a good choice! It is BEGGING for trouble! But yes, just as “wearing that dress” doesn’t excuse the rapist, having too many fathers for your children, doesn’t excuse infanticide, or child abuse, either!

I’m not sure what other important policy take-aways are here on this topic… I hope that I have hit the most important ones. Here are some related side topics: “Exposing infants” (human infanticide) historically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infanticide. And then there’s the fact that older cultures (WAY before modern sociobiology) intuitively understood these things. “Blood is thicker than water”. Witness the “evil stepmother” tales! See https://psych2go.net/the-cinderella-effect-evolutionarily-inclined-abusive-stepparents/ and https://www.proquest.com/openview/6364c0b52fdc66fa5345d0650ff96ecd/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y for examples.

God bless you all, non-abusive, loving step-parents, foster parents, and adoptive parents! WHATEVER your religious or political beliefs may be, God BLESS you & your efforts! I’m not intending to slam you in the least! “I’m just sayin’…” Let’s beware of all dangers, and NOT be pro-ignorance! There is a “beast within us”, and from time to time, we need to squelch it!

“The beast within us” wants to survive and reproduce, and avoid pain, and seek pleasure (enjoy life). All these things, in their place, can be GOOD! But when said beast wants to ALWAYS blame the other tribe, start fights, commit infanticide or abuse, etc., it’s time to squelch the beast! “The beast” (programmed behavior tendencies) is both good and bad. To keep on evolving into Higher Beings, both evolutionarily and ethically-morally-spiritually, we need to use our will, our conscious minds, our consciences and spirits. We need to push willfully in the right directions, with benevolence (the weaker term) or Love (the stronger term). Ignorance generally doesn’t help. But ignorance should be lovingly educated away, especially by our good examples of knowledge AND behavior, rather than using “ignorant” as a term in insults or derogation. THAT is what I am saying!

Enough for now…

The Sociobiology of Abortion

This will strike some readers (or potential readers… I’ve not gone viral yet, and am unlikely to, so I will “let it all hang out” some more; I know my readers are few at best) as strange, even outrageous, that, in a web page praising the words of Jesus, I should say (as I will) that abortion is a VERY necessary evil, in our world today! Outlawing abortion will lead to MORE evil, NOT less, in today’s world, with human nature as it is today! If Jesus were here today, I bet that he would NOT lust after the political power to PUNISH people for “murdering” fertilized egg cells! He might say, “Judge not, that you be not judged using your ridiculously picky standards! Get that log (always lusting after PUNISHING those who you deem wicked) out of your eye, before you go trying to pick that near-invisible fertilized egg cell out of your brother’s or sister’s eye!”

A short pre-summary is simply, no one alive today can PROVE (with reliably repeatable data) what consciousness (or a soul or the “rights” of a living being) is. Where does it come from, when does it set in, in a living being’s development process, when is it gone, and where (if anywhere) does it go? If you can firmly answer ANY of these questions, with PROOF, there are Nobel Prizes waiting for you! In the meantime, do you think that you could be so decent as to suppress or hide your “punishment boner” that lusts after always PUNISHING those who disagree with you?

Your “punishment boner” is a VERY real thing, according to psychology and sociobiology! People ENJOY (are willing to pay high prices for) punishing “wrong-doing” others! Just one sample link here: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0905918106#:~:text=Costly%20(altruistic)%20punishment%20means%20paying,theoretical%20models%20(see%20also%20refs. “Costly punishment does not always increase cooperation”.

What have very varied thinkers through the years said about this? "Beware of all those in whom the urge to punish is strong." - Friedrich Nietzsche “Mistrust all those in whom the desire to punish is imperative.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Let he who is without sin, throw the first stone." - Jesus

I know that if I go on for too long, I will lose (hypothetical only?) readers, so here, recycled, are some points that I have posted on Reason.com’s discussion posts (plus other thoughts). Then we’ll move on to explicitly discuss the sociobiology of abortion, with sources.

QUESTIONS THAT THE FANATICS WON’T EVER ANSWER: What do YOU think that the punishment should be for deliberately killing a fertilized human egg cell? Ditto the punishments for likewise killing a fertilized egg of an ape... A monkey... A rat... An insect... If your Righteous Punishments From on High are DIFFERENT in these cases, then WHY? WHERE do the differences come from? And what gives YOU (or the 51% of the voters) the right to punish the rest of us?

Never, ever, have I gotten any serious answers, when I pose these questions, about what the PUNISHMENTS should be! (Could it be that the fanatics don’t want us to focus on THEIR obsession, which is their smug and self-righteous “punishment boners”?). Also, the unwillingness to answer questions is strongly indicative of authoritarianism. At the root here is the unmistakable attitude of “Because I said so, peons! Do NOT question your Rulers!”

So when advanced space aliens come here, you're ready to blast them to smithereens, obliterate them at will... Because they have no human DNA? Are not now, will never be, human? Or at the very least, you're not willing to codify punishment for any alien-murderers?

Murdering a space alien should be placed in the law books as a crime, pro-actively. And also to make a point to the troglodytes, about this "sacred human DNA" crap! WHERE does the sacredness come from, for cryin' out loud to Government Almighty? (Sensible people often believe that it comes from consciousness or sentience, which animals apparently have to varying degrees, but is beyond our ability to precisely measure or quantify.)

THE “LYING LOTHARIO” PROBLEM: Well, a lot of pro-lifers are men, and I would bet that even those pro-lifers who are women? Very few of them have found themselves in the following shoes: Lying Lothario endlessly says “Love ya, babe, Love-ya, Love-ya, Love-ya, NOW can I get down your pants?” After she falls for him and he gets her pregnant, the abuse (from him) begins, and she finds out that he has 7 other “Love-ya, Babe, my One and Only” babes on the side, 4 of them also pregnant by him! So abortion is “veto power” against scumbucket men. If these behavioral genes get passed on and on, humans will evolve into something like elephant seals, where the men most skilled at lying and fighting off the other lying men, get a harem of 40 babes, and the rest of the men get nothing (other than caring for the resulting babies)! So abortion is empowering women to fight off this sort of thing… And reserve their baby-making powers for men who are less lying scum, and will actually make good fathers to the children.

So they want to “capitally punish” the “offenders” (abortion-providing doctors, so as to “dry up” the sources for safe abortions), while they have never been in the above-described (lied-to female) shoes! Willfully blind self-righteousness, basically…

Or maybe some of the anti-abortion men fantasize and lust after being the elephant-seal-like men who can gather the baby-making powers of a harem of 40 lied-to women, under the new scheme of things?

I am glad that SOME you oppose theft. Theft by deception is also theft; I hope you can see that! When a severely lying Lothario-type dude (as described above) appropriates the baby-making powers of a deceived young woman, that, too, is theft! Abortion is anti-theft, when a deceived woman no longer wants to rent out her womb to a deceptive scumbag, prospective god-awful supposed "father" of a sperm donor!

Those who are anti-abortion unmarried men should be out there desperately courting women who have already been deceived by scumbucket men, and volunteering to raise these unborn children (who are NOT your biological offspring), to fend off a HUGE root cause of abortion, and to put your money where your mouth is! And married anti-abortion men? Check with your wives; see if they mind you donating all of your spare time and money to helping out these future unmarried moms! THESE actions will relieve the pressures towards abortions!

Helping out pregnant women till the give birth, and then abandoning the support of said women (immediately or near-immediately post-birth), scarcely substitutes at ALL, for the loving support of a husband or father for 18 years, by the way!

Yes, there ARE fathers who magnanimously raise not-their-children, and do it well! God, Government Almighty, Allah, Zeus, Buddha, Jesus, etc., all please BLESS them, really and truly! And hopefully these fathers will teach their children NOT to be, or to welcome, “Lying Lothario”! Cultural as well as biological evolution can fend OFF the “Lying Lothario” problem! ALL methods need to be brought to bear; this is a SERIOUS problem here!

Abortions outlawed is a "pro-Lying-Lothario" measure, intended (or effectively intended) to turn humans into harem-fighting elephant seals! He who lies the BEST, and deceives the MOST women, into getting pregnant, WINS the genetic lottery! Meek and mild, honest men who would make good fathers? Well, WHO CARES about THEM?!?! (Or their interests in passing on their genes, which affect the behaviors of future generations?)

Are we not men? We are devolving! Devolving (especially if we ban abortions as “veto power” for lied-to mothers) into elephant-seal-like beasts, trampling the already-born babies underfoot and underfin, while fighting over mating rights, rather than looking to perform our duties as fathers!

Links: Before we (“we” being “me and the mouse in my pocket”) move on to the explicit details of the sociobiology of abortion, just a few useful links: https://reason.com/2022/05/06/ending-roe-threatens-more-than-abortion-rights/ “Ending Roe Threatens More Than Abortion Rights”… This lists some less-well-known “collateral damage” that may soon come to pass about… Also see https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-medicine/what-the-life-of-the-mother-might-mean-in-a-post-roe-america What the “Life of the Mother” Might Mean in a Post-Roe America
“We are going to see more deaths and more injuries,” Ghazaleh Moayedi, an ob-gyn in Dallas, said. “I don’t have to speculate about that at all.” Also see https://www.wired.com/story/roe-fall-limit-screening-fatal-congenital-conditions/ “Roe’s Fall Will Limit Screening for Fatal Congenital Conditions”. Self-righteous anti-abortion fanatics may soon heap HUGE helpings of extra grief on parents who will be FORCED to have Mom carry a soon-dead to birth! Shall we ALSO rub Mom’s nose in her forced futile efforts, in the form of the dead baby? Would THAT help satisfy your punishment boners as well?

Chelsea Becker mentioned in The Guardian, “She was jailed for losing her pregnancy.” Happens a LOT, already! Jailed for 12, 16 months, in cases mentioned here. It WILL happen some more, especially if “R” Party gets its way here! Victims are the poor and powerless as usual. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/03/california-stillborn-prosecution-roe-v-wade ... “Say her name”, people!

“If Roe is overturned, the ripples could affect IVF and genetic testing of embryos, experts warn.” https://www.statnews.com/2022/06/06/roe-v-wade-preimplantation-genetic-testing-ivf-clinics/ Anti-abortionists just LOVE the babies SOOO much, that parents with serious genetic defects will now chose NOT to have babies at ALL! Also note that the freezer(s) at IVF clinics sometimes fail, embryos thaw out unexpectedly, and are thereby “killed”! In the new regime of things, prepare for the finger of blame (“murderers!”) to be pointed at the utility companies and manufacturers of freezers and back-up generators! The lawyers will now make YOU, the consumer, pay a LOT more for these things!

The above are worthy reads! SOME late-term pregnancies are GUARANTEED to NOT yield a baby that you can take home! Women WILL die, for lack of late-term abortions! (What is better, a few minutes or hours for a doomed infant (outside of the womb), plus a dead mom, or a living mom, who can live for many more years? Maybe even give birth to HEALTHY babies, later on?).

And do you want POLITICIANS to decide, instead of moms and their doctors? Speaking of clueless politicians, see https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/23/idaho-republican-anti-abortion-swallow-camera , “Anti-abortion lawmaker gets anatomy lesson – women cannot swallow camera for exam.” (“Pill-cam”). It seems Idaho representative Vito Barbieri wasn’t listening in the third grade, when another student asked the teacher, “If babies come from mommy’s tummy, how come they don’t get digested?” And he’s not done ANY even vaguely serious studying of health matters since then, either! This clearly shows the UTTER medical ignorance of many power-hungry politicians, who would STILL over-regulate medicine, in order to pander to fanatics! Ignorance for the win, over decency, humility, and self-restraint!

More lovelies from Republican politicians: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/politicians-learned-anything-since-clayton-williamss-campfire-rape-joke/ “Bad weather is like rape, he (Clayton Williams) said; “if it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.” And “raped women can’t get pregnant”, they say! https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/02/idaho-lawmaker-still-thinks-rape-cant-result-pregnancy-and-its-2016/ “Nielson’s comments echoed those of former Missouri Rep. Todd Akin, who once memorably said on a television interview, ‘If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to shut that whole thing down.’”

Republican “facts” and “logic” summarized: Abortion-prohibiting laws will need NO exceptions for rape, because raped women don’t get pregnant! If raped women DO get preggers, it MUST mean that they ENJOYED it, so it wasn’t REALLY rape, then, was it?

Here is the latest hypocritical politician: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/18/herschel-walker-fathers-day-weekend-pass-social-conservatives-00040710 Social conservative crowd cheers Herschel Walker after revelations of undiscussed kids… The former Heisman winner got applause from the Faith & Freedom crowd, after a week of reports that he had more children than he’d publicly acknowledged.

My comments: I know the type! Big Man on Campus sports super-heroes need NOT follow the rules of the mere mortals! “Pro-family-values” square-jawed super-hero Republicans like Herschel Walker will be cheering the new abortion restrictions, ‘cause their lied-to harems full of fertile babes will now have a MUCH harder time of using abortion as “veto power” against lying scum-bucket men!!! Herschel Walker and ALL the other “Lying Lotharios” for the win!

27 states require the use of the (sonogram) “shaming wand” in order for the shamed (slutty) women to get abortions; see https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/state-indicator/ultrasound-requirements/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D . Not to worry too terribly much? Now, this has yet to be tried in the courts, but the supposedly “slutty” women MIGHT be able to get “religious exemptions” from the shaming wand! For details about that, see http://www.churchofsqrls.com/sonograms/

Late-term (third trimester) abortions account for a SMALL percentage of abortions anyway! People only resort to them for good reasons! About 1.3%. See https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2019/mar/07/abortion-late-term-what-pregnancy-stage The truth about late-term abortions in the US: they're very rare.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/02/health/abortion-myths-mental-health-wellness/index.html Myths about abortion and women's mental health are widespread, experts say. From above…Women denied an abortion who carried their babies to term were "much more likely to experience physical health issues at the time of childbirth, as childbirth is much more risky than having an abortion," Biggs said. Two of the women in the study died during childbirth. After five years, the study found women denied an abortion were more likely to "live in poverty and much more likely to suffer economic hardship, including more bankruptcies, debt and challenges meeting basic living needs," Biggs said. Women who were turned away were also more likely to be tethered to a violent and abusive partner, and to have chronic health conditions, Biggs said. "They also lowered their aspirations (for the future), and they were less likely to achieve them," she added.

Then there is ALSO the societal cost of letting Lying Lothario breed half(?) of our babies!!! Harem fighting-and-lying sperm-donor beasts for the win; good fathers for the loss!

A PLEA FOR MORE TOLERANCE: Some folks “get it” enough (especially when nagged, when called on it) will say, “Well, no, I do NOT advocate punishing, with government force, and laws, those who get or give abortions”, and I say, well, good for YOU! But they insist on continuing to say that abortion is morally-ethically WRONG! If they do so gently and respectfully, once again, I say, good for you! That’s free speech! But now we have to be careful. Shades and degrees, you know…

Analogies: I teach my kid(s) day after day, that “Gays and trans people violate God’s Will, and Mother Nature! They are despicable, unnatural, and EVIL!” Then I am utterly SHOCKED (shocked, I say; SHOCKED!) when reports come home from school, that my kid(s) harass and bully the CRAP out of those that I have called EVIL?!? “Hey, kid, I never told you to BULLY them!!!” Falls kinda flat…

Dark Ages Europe (and America as well; see Salem Witch Trials): Pre-Christian WITCHES are EVIL! They cause crop failures, human diseases, drinking the blood of the Christian babies, and stillborn livestock!!! GOD HIMSELF causes witches to BURN IN HELL forever!!! (That’s what I said.) Then I am SHOCKED (shocked, I say; SHOCKED!) when my neighbors burn the accused witches!!! I never said that we should do THAT!!! Once again… Falls kinda flat! Morally, ethically, and (dare we add) spiritually advanced humanoids CAREFULLY watch their words as well as their deeds!

THE SOCIOBIOLOGY OF “LYING LOTHARIO”: “Lying Lothario”, in full, is AKA “Leisure Suit Larry the Lying Lothario in the Land of the Lounge Lizards”, just FYI, but here, we’ll simply call him “Lying Lothario” for short.

A few introductory remarks, and then let’s get ON with it! Anti-abortion types often state that “fertilized egg cells have human rights”, as if it is self-evident, or Received Wisdom (from WHOM is often hard to get out of them), and then there is NO arguing with them, past this point! They’ll just state their position (with fancy biology terms at times) over and over again! There are NO “scientific” or data-driven definitions for “rights”, other than, what have I grabbed out of thin air, to justify what I think that moral and ethical behavior is, and why I (or 51% of the voters if I can convince them) I should force it on YOU!

Well, back that up a tad. The only really firm grounds (“data-driven” grounds is a better fit here than “scientific” grounds) that we have here, is as follows: “What are the results of our policies, and what are the most likely results of these here policy changes?” “God told me so” doesn’t deserve much of a public hearing, besides politeness. And the quest for politeness is wasted on many a fanatic, who HAS no politeness! God told you that fertilized egg cells have souls, and God told me that they don’t! Now we’re stuck! Back to policies and their effects, if we have any REAL smarts!

A whole book (And I recommend it highly) has been written by Sam Harris, “The Moral Landscape How Science Can Determine Human Values”.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moral_Landscape#:~:text=The%20Moral%20Landscape%3A%20How%20Science,morality%2C%20facts%2C%20and%20science. Now HERE are firm grounds on which to base discussions! I must add, I am NOT opposed to religion in general… Religion is of GREAT value, so long as the leaders and practitioners act out of humility and BENEVOLENCE (aka “Love”), and NOT out of lust for political power! “Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing”, said a Fart Smeller, I mean a very Smart Feller, WAY back when! Also, be data-driven… That one and the same Smart Feller also said that “The truth will set you free!”

OK then, ONWARDS to the sociobiology and psychology of “Lying Lothario”! Those of us who were paying attention to such matters in high school and in college may have often noticed that the meek and mild, thoughtful, considerate, sober-minded, deliberate kinds of young men did NOT willy-nilly chase after every skirt that they might possibly “score” with, but some often FAR less considerate young men DID do exactly that! The “sober-minded” ones (in my experience) have been every bit as likely to be NOT religious, as to be religious, by the way. (“Sober” meaning careful, not necessarily refraining from boozing it up.) Teenage women and young women, often lacking good judgment (maturity), may fall victim to the “bad boy allure” of the rule-breakers. These young men will NOT be likely to be good fathers! Hence (among many other reasons) the need for abortions. To put some “science” behind my intuitions and experiences, I give you this: https://www.psypost.org/2022/04/secondary-psychopathy-in-high-school-boys-positively-predicts-future-dating-involvement-study-finds-62988 “Secondary psychopathy in high school boys positively predicts future dating involvement, study finds”.

Sociobiologically programmed behavioral instincts (AKA “emotions” generally) means that fertile women are attracted to men with high testosterone, when ovulating. https://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html . “When Fertile, Women Want Manly Men.” Also see https://news.nd.edu/news/new-study-first-to-define-link-between-testosterone-and-fathers-social-roles-outside-the-family/ “New study first to define link between testosterone and fathers’ social roles outside the family”. From there, “levels of some hormones, such as lower testosterone and higher oxytocin, have been linked to more nurturing fathering.” When passing on their genes, women (mostly subconsciously I should hope!) may want to optimize their reproductive strategy, and select the “manly man” (high testosterone, low oxytocin) for his genes, while selecting the “wussy, lovey-dovey” man (low testosterone, high oxytocin) to actually raise the kids! “Manly man”, AKA “Lying Lothario” genes, can SCORE much reproductive success in future generations as well, if people are NOT on guard against this reproductive strategy! An individual man can make MANY more babies than a women can! Women’s success in passing on their genes can be “amped up” by combining their genes to this kind of behavior, to whatever extent such behavior is attached to genes, that is, and also to the extent that “Lying Lothario” genes can parasitize available non-biological-dad fathering by the “wussy, lovey-dovey” men.

I have read of the above female reproductive strategy, explicitly, in the serial-mating scheme, but can’t find it right now in a casual “Google” search. Please accept my apologies… This strategy can be used in serial mating, or, alternatively, in “cheating” mating, AKA cuckoldry. It doesn’t take much imagination to see that if this kind of thing is too prevalent, we will evolve, in our human sexual behavior, towards the harem-fighting elephant seals and others! But once again, I would warn that “humans are involved, so it gets complex”. A loving step-parent, through CULTURAL (not biological) evolution, CAN help push BACK against the triumph of “Lying Lothario”! Teach your children and step-children well, to neither be, nor fall for, Lying Lothario!

I’ll just drop in ONE link here that MIGHT help: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/female-infidelity-and-paternal-uncertainty/coevolution-of-paternal-investment-and-cuckoldry-in-humans/936B5EC4ACEAB220074830054590F4E4 .

Bad parenting and early, irresponsible sex is passed on through the generations! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_investment From there, “Men are more likely than women to give no parental investment to their children, and the children of low-investing fathers are more likely to give less parental investment to their own children. Father absence is a risk factor for both early sexual activity and teenage pregnancy. Father absence raises children's stress levels, which are linked to earlier onset of sexual activity and increased short-term mating orientation. Daughters of absent fathers are more likely to seek short-term partners, and one theory explains this as a preference for outside (non-partner) social support because of the perceived uncertain future and uncertain availability of committing partners in a high-stress environment.”

Abortion is a tool for STOPPING this cycle, when mother-to-be consents to deploying it, clearly!

There’s a lot out there (“The Google Knows All”) about the “battle of the sexes”, which is MUCH-so involved here! I’ll just drop a few more links here casually: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/how-train-your-boyfriend/202008/is-there-battle-the-sexes . Well OK, let’s also add Richard Dawkins, “The Selfish Gene”, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene .

"R" Party is Our Party is the GOOD party! The Party of the Sex Pistols and the Sex Postals, with which you may R-Party-ON, and go Sex Postal with your Sex Pistol, and rape or deceive ALL the young babes, your "binders full of young women", whose binders bind them to be womb-slaves, and then MAKE them carry to term, their Sacred Fartilized Egg Smells! All Hail the Every Sperm Which Is Sacred!

Black women in the USA today get abortions at a high rate… “the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women”, from https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2008/08/abortion-and-women-color-bigger-picture . (Hispanics are intermediate here FYI). I’ll get back to this momentarily…

Say the following (which I regard to be true) and many conservatives will immediately agree: We can be OUTWARDLY “compassionate” while harming people. Minimum wages and rent controls come to mind! Of COURSE we are compassionate when we mandate higher pay and lower rent! Yet if we do these kinds of things to ANY significant degree, we “dry up” many of both the available low-wage jobs and the available apartments! Now go be jobless and homeless, ye victims of our “compassion”! Because businesses and landlords don’t want to lose money! Plain and simple!

Then WHY can’t conservatives see the similar dynamic when trying to be “compassionate” with other peoples’ wombs? Sure, we all love babies! But what happens to the victims, not just of “Lying Lothario”, but also of birth-control failures, and of genetic and developmental (in-the-womb) defects? “The rich will get richer, and the poor will have children”! More non-wage-earning babies and children in a family is a straight, unadulterated input contributing to poverty! It’s not what most people desire or admire, sure, but abortion is backup birth control. Our new USA move towards outlawing more and more abortions, in more states, will aggravate poverty among the poor, Blacks, and Hispanics, who can’t afford to travel for abortions, as easily as richer Whites can. We’ll be thwarting the “demographic transition” (https://populationeducation.org/what-demographic-transition-model/#:~:text=The%20Demographic%20Transition%20Model%20(DTM,as%20that%20country%20develops%20economically ) for poor residents of the USA! The rich yank the ladder out from the grasp of the could-be-climbing poor, with abortion laws, just as they do with minimum wages, rent controls, and excessive job-licensing laws!

Good luck to y’all, Dear Readers, in your millions and billions, in your “battles of the sexes”! The battles WILL go on!

I don’t have much sympathy for (don’t take the side of) “Lying Lothario” here, but, in trying to be more Christ-like, I should at least intend what is best for them (Get better, please; try to develop some empathy for others!). I have more sympathy for lied-to women. (Although, in fairness, in the “battle of the sexes”, some do practice “entrapment”.)

Anyway, w/regards to the sexes abusing each other, I have “been to the mountain top” to see the Guru in the cave, and have learned MUCH wisdom, which I will now pass on to you… Hooray!

Q: What’s the difference between a woman who just can NOT find a man who treats her well, and so, she is constantly shuttling between abusive men? And a man who abuses women, by, for example, among many other things, yanking on her “jugs” too hard?

A: The first is a “jerks juggler”, and the second is a “jugs jerker”!

Can you say, “Jerks-jugglers juggle jugs-jerking jerks”? Really fast now!

The Battle of the Sexes, AKA, Dating

This segues in a straight-forward manner, from the preceding. For context, let me add that my perspective is from that of an “old fart”, having now been happily married for 3+ decades (and never divorced… but I did get married after having “fought” many intense battles with the opposite (opposing?) sex). I may be old, but I can still clearly recall some of the battles I fought! Stupid and unnecessary battles! But… Aren’t ALL battles (by supposedly intelligent beings) stupid and unnecessary? Cooperation, not competition, please!!!

Plain unvarnished truth, straight from the head and heart alike: The very most important “head game” in dating (possibly in matters of workplaces, other organizations, international relations, etc., as well, but let’s not get side-tracked here) is “You need/want me more than I need/want you, so therefor I have the power.” AKA, stated in an even more naked and ugly manner: “My threat to leave you is more powerful than your threat to leave me!” So that is going to be a relationship of fear: He or she who can induce the most fear in the “opposing” party, has the power! OMG, how ugly can we get? “I don’t want to live that way!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY

I should hope this doesn’t need much elaboration, but… Who makes the first and most overt move(s) in dating, who calls who first (after the first date especially), who calls (or texts) who most often, and who is too busy (especially “washing her hair”) for the next date? Lots of power-related head games going on here! It’s been so long for me, that I can’t add much more beyond that! Repeated rounds of breaking up and getting back together? I’ve not been involved in that, so, no comments! Well, just this: Come crawling back to MEEE, Baby, and THEN we can talk!

In my day, females seemingly played “hard to get” more than males did. I’m not sure what goes on today. For context, see… Sociobiologists (starting with Robert Trivers in this case) figured the following out "scientifically" some time ago. https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/five-blockbuster-evolutionary-insights-and-one-wild-life-on-robert-trivers/

"Parental investment" is what it is all about! Women can make up to 20 or so babies in a lifetime. Men can make thousands! Eggs: Few. Sperm: Many! Putting ethics to the side, men want sex, and lots of it! Women need to pick carefully, when mate-choosing, to pick a man that will help raise the children (a good father). Trivers's thought experiment for his students: Pick some men and women of average attractiveness, and send them to a bar, to brazenly preposition the opposite sex. Who scores first? ... "That which is more rare, is more valuable."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_investment#Mating_orientations... From there... “Women are more likely to have higher long-term mating orientations, and men are more likely to have higher short-term mating orientations.” In the olden days, we called sleazy women “sluts”, but admired sleazy men as “studs”! I STILL have to admire “Doctor Slutbunny”, though! https://www.reddit.com/r/bigbangtheory/comments/tb7t7p/elizabeth_plimpton_aka_dr_slut_bunny_wish_we_got/

Women, please don’t go encouraging or glorifying “Lying Lothario”! This shows up in the popular culture: “Tell me lies, sweet little lies”. https://www.google.com/search?q=%E2%80%9CTell+me+lies%2C+sweet+little+lies%E2%80%9D&oq=%E2%80%9CTell+me+lies%2C+sweet+little+lies%E2%80%9D&aqs=chrome..69i57.7418425j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 for lyrics… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCGD9dT12C0 for Fleetwood Mac audio-visual of it. Nice song! Bad base for a long-term relationship! And “Love Fool”… https://genius.com/The-cardigans-lovefool-lyrics for lyrics, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us0mos981pM for the song. Sounds enticing, but, again… “I don’t want to live that way”!

Let’s put some related matters on a more firm footing: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/love-language-youre-more-likely-170236564.html “If This Is Your Love Language, You're More Likely to Divorce”… Couples treasure the following items, or express their love in the following ways, says this article: ‘1) gifts (presents), ‘2) quality time together, ‘3) acts of service (AKA work… Do the dishes already!), ‘4) words; I love you, etc., ‘5) physical touch (affection).

Beware of #1!!! Materialism, gifts, status symbols, conspicuous consumption!..Designer this and designer that! “I spent more money on you than you spent on me!” A quick way to fights, broken relationships, and divorces! Achtung, Baby!

If your maybe-Baby is this way, then, until you can find one who is NOT this way (to be bribed, materialistically, into a relationship with you as Sugar Daddy or Sugar Mommy), then keep in mind some Ancient Wisdom:

Sugar is sweet,

And so is honey,

Beat your meat,

And save your money!

(And save the Purity of Your Essence, and your Precious Bodily Fluids, for some future Babe who is less-so, all about materialism).

The following book is getting old, but it’s still good! I passed out a few copies to young women when I was young… My now-wife said “so what?” to the contents of this book (meaning that she didn’t think of the ideas as being horribly radical, weird, or oppressive to females or anyone else), and so, the rest is now history!

“Why Men Are the Way They Are” Warren Farrell's book…

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1023569.Why_Men_Are_the_Way_They_Are#:~:text=Farrell%20has%20conducted%20role%2Dplaying,opening%20books%20of%20our%20time. Men are “success objects” and women are “sex objects”, too often. War and rape are the results. Now again, see the above section “Don’t Confuse “Is” With “Should Be”, on these matters… If men must always provide more-more-MORE goods (wealth) to obtain success with the sexiest of the babes, war (fighting over the goodies) is a logical outcome. (Warren Farrell ideas here of course, in my words.) If women exercise their Outrageously Beautiful (“genetic celebrity”, AKA, “beauty queen”) powers to snag their male “success objects”, then the frustrated underdog males (and other males) will often be tempted to “grab their share” via rape!

So (radical ideas follow; trigger warning!) maybe we could move AWAY from war and rape, by NOT being so utterly obsessed by material success and beauty status? See “femcels”, example at https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/05/femcel-meaning-female-incel-reddit/629836/ … Less-attractive women are overlooked (neglected). I recall an article (can’t find it, sorry) about a sincere Christian man who recognized his shortcomings in this matter. He met at least one very “pleasant personality” woman, but couldn’t get over her totally plain appearance.

My best advice here is, compromise! We are spiritual beings, yes, but we are also bags of biochemicals! If you can NOT stand the idea of “person XYZ” being your mate (making love to them, and seeing them almost every day for the rest of your life), because of their physical appearance, accept it, move on, and seek another (or none, whichever). But, take it to heart that this shows that you are NOT perfect, or anywhere near perfect! Humility is always a wise policy!

A SUMMARY then is, don’t settle for head games and power struggles in dating! You detect any significant degree of “Me and mine are worth more than you and yours, and so you have to chase me MUCH harder than I chase you”, then you should exit stage left, right, up, down, or sideways, and quickly! Regardless of your sex! (But sociobiology tends to say that men will be more-so the chasers, and women, more-so the chased. Men, be so advised, and open to SOME compromises.)

(Close to) last but not least, some practical, detailed advice about sex! For several reasons, non-penetration sex may be a wise idea! Wounds, pains, or defects in the vagina (AKA your “Hillary”), or in your “Richard”… or Republican fanatics have outlawed birth control… or religious scruples about premarital “all the way” sex… This may be the way to go! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercrural_sex , AKA simply “rubbing”. This method of birth control is about as infallible as it gets! Don’t you recall all those geezers saying to the young babes, “keeping your legs together is EXCELLENT form of birth control”? Well, here ya go!

Get yourself a “fleshlite”, and have your babe hold it between her legs. If the Prim and Proper Republicans have outlawed them, we can get simpler yet. Have her wear 1 layer of panties, a layer of plastic (a plastic bag will do), and another pair of panties to top it off (hold the plastic in place). This forms a sperm barrier here, of course. Have her hold her legs together, and smear some Vaseline, skin softener, Mazola oil, whatever, between her thighs. Now put your Richard in there, and rub away, up and down! VERY satisfying for a man! As opposed to “all the way” sex, it allows the man to focus closer attention to her finest up-front assets during non-penetration sex. Taller man and shorter woman? Go lower on the thighs may be best… Clean up your mess afterwards, of course! Laundering a dirty towel is a small expense, for all of this fun!

Perhaps not as satisfying for the woman, as for the man… Get over yourselves, and buy or fashion yourselves a suitable dildo! Hide it from the Prim and Proper Republicans if need be!

When finished, you can “channel” Bill Clinton, and say, “I did not have sex with that woman!” This is technically true!

OK then, we’re about wrapping it up for now! Now, on, to gay relationships, which I know VERY little about! But I have thought about such matters, deeply and creatively, and have come up with the following:

Recall the gay Canadian airline steward way back when, who spread (just then “going viral”, literally) AIDS all over the place? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga%C3%ABtan_Dugas … Kaposi’s sarcoma spread all over the place… (As a prominent sign of the new mystery disease).

Terry Brazier (see https://reason.com/2019/08/23/brickbat-the-first-cut-is-the-deepest-2/ ), now, HE, with his REAL stitches with his sewed-back-on hoodie… Especially if they add some small, tasteful golden Frankenstein-style bolts to it ass well, for swank nudist Halloweiner Parties… He will have a SWANKER WANKER than ALL the rest! Butt no, sorry, I will ***NOT*** be his SWANKER WANKER YANKER!!!

Well anyway, hopefully Terry Brazier will NOT be the starring attraction for a bunch of young fan boys, who might otherwise become the spreaders at the nexus of the next AIDS-like horror, known as SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE!!!

Greedy capitalists as usual will crank out new drugs to cure it, at VASTLY inflated expenses, backed up by their bankers, so then we’ll have SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE drug-CRANKER BANKERS!!! Riots in the streets, from the anti-1% folks, I’m a-tellin’ ya!!!

Many newscasters will take the side of the bankers… But one of these newscasters will be caught by a mob of angry anti-1% rioters, some of whom will proceed to PUNISH the newscasters… Said punishment-dishers-outers will be known as… SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE pro-drug-CRANKER-BANKER-ANCHOR SPANKERS!

There will be those who are squeamish about personal punitive violence, but who still secretly support those with less such squeamishness. When no one is looking or listening, they will privately utter their support of the punitive, anti-gay and anti-banking ones. These more shy and secretive supporters of such things will be known as… SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE pro-drug-CRANKER-BANKER-ANCHOR SPANKER THANKERS!

There will inevitably be those who will want to play gay hanky-panky with those who semi-secretly oppose the pro-gay bankers and anchors in this case, as a method of embarrassing them. Gay passes will be made! Gay hanky-panky will be attempted! Such prospective unwanted-gay-pass-makes will be known as “hanker-pankers”. The recipients of such unwanted passes will be tempted to SPANK the makers of unwanted passes! They will be known as… SWANKER WANKER YANKER CHANCRE pro-drug-CRANKER-BANKER-ANCHOR SPANKER THANKER HANKER-PANKER SPANKERS!

I was “channeling” Dr. Seuss above! It’s all HIS fault! Cancel Dr. Seuss some more, not MEEEE!!!

Sexual Politics

Gay men are more apt to be promiscuous than lesbians. See https://contexts.org/blog/an-unequal-distribution-of-partners-gays-versus-straights/ . The sociobiological explanation here is that, despite gay and lesbian sex having NOTHING to do with reproduction, the “basic instincts” still hold. Men (with their “cheap sperm”) still want to spread their seeds wildly, while women (with their expensive eggs) still play conservative. In other words, evolution works with its basic starting materials, building new layers on top of old layers, in terms of behavior as well as physical bodies. Haidt described this in a LOT of detail. Jonathan Haidt, “The Righteous Mind”, https://www.amazon.com/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Religion/dp/0307455777 (as well as his other books).

Well OK then, some more sexual politics…

See http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/18/florida-jury-awards-115-million-to-hulk# … About Hooker Hulk Hogan… “Hooker Hulk” gets $115 MILLION, v/s “Stormy Daniels” gets only $130 K, for each of them being skanky hos. The MALE skanky ho gets almost THREE orders of magnitude more money!!! How is THAT for sexual equality?! https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-defends-130k-reimbursement-stormy-daniels-payment-common/story?id=54904446

But what gets my bowels in an uproar even more, is that through the courts and policemen enforcing court orders and/or contracts here in these kinds of cases, Government Almighty is the Pimp Daddy and hit-man enforcer of it all! And then they go and jail $50 and $100 poor hookers, to “protect us from trafficking in sex slaves”.

If Government Almighty is going to be the Big Pimp Daddy and hit-man enforcer, for the rich and famous, then could they PLEASE stop being hypocrites, and stop punishing the “little people” for doing the same things!??!

SIDE-BAND SNIDE COMMENT:

As a socio-economic and sexual-political experiment, I think someone should get Hooker Hulk Hogan to skanky-ho-hump Stormy Daniels. Which of the two would owe how much money, to the other? Sociobiologists want to KNOW, dammit! This is some valuable data getting totally LOST here!

MAIN COMMENT:

I think I have fingered out WHY does Government Almighty play Big Pimp Daddy to the rich and famous, while punishing the dirt-poor hookers?! When $130 k or $115 million gets thrown around, Government Almighty gets to tax the payments and the lawyers, and grab at least 1/3 of it. Easy-peasy on the big transactions… When a small-time hooker turns a trick “under the table” (a kinky place to do it!), it is MUCH harder to collect! Especially if he or she is paid in smack or crack or Ripple wine…

I am UTTERLY crushed to have fingered out that Government Almighty (which claims to LOVE me and want to PROTECT me from sleazy sex), is actually just wanting to line its own wallet!!!
