Nature vs. Nurture

Our Nature Reigns Supreme. Blood is everything. Nurture is secondary.

What would happen if there was a global nuclear war?

Afraid of nuclear war? Don't worry. If you are a city dweller, most likely you won't feel a thing. For the rest of you, tough luck though. But if you care more about the human race, like I do, chances are this monumental blood letting will only set us back a couple hundred years, tops. After which I am sure we will contrive to do it again. Because we are champions in shooting ourselves in the foot. But our survival as a species is not in question. Our civilization as we know it today however is.

Life is an Illusion – In Media Vita In Morte Sumus

We are Custodians of the Present. Our lives do not belong to us alone. We are beholden to our Parents and Children. Where we come from and what we leave behind is what the Future will remember. Our Fear of Death Mars our Life.

The Liberty Illusion

The West is in free fall. The rot is everywhere. Our amorality has destroyed us. Because we ourselves are cowards, we detest courage in others. If we are lucky, it will be a quick decay into a state of confusion. If not, this living corpse will take a long time to expire. Optimism is cowardice. We are wanton optimists. Shame on us!

You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy

The World is Irony. First, they tell you to get rich. Right?! Then, you do. It’s hard, takes everything you go, but you do it. Right?! Then, they tell you to stop being so goddamn materialistic. Crazy, right?! Right?! And when you ask why, they tell you it’s for the sake of the planet. But do not fret, they tell you. You just stop travelling, consuming, existing, and it’s all going to be good. Right?! If you believe that, you really deserve your fate.

Live and let live?

It’s a dog eat dog out there. The Romans knew that. The Barbarians did too. Somehow, somewhere, some people decided that “live and let live” is preferable to “survive and prosper”. Not sure everybody else on Earth got that memo. But hey, I am Devil’s advocate! What do I know?

The Meaning of Womanhood

What does it mean to be a woman? I do not know. Nor do I pretend that I could ever discover its meaning. If I had to guess, being a woman is whatever a woman wants it to be on any particular day. In 1851, the great Italian composer Verdi wrote Rigoletto. Not his greatest … Continue reading The Meaning of Womanhood →

Silver v. Gold

Paper money is only good for hygienic purposes. Fiat money have failed us. Perhaps the time has come to return to silver and gold. Fix your teeth, ladies and gentlemen. You may have to put them to good use soon now.
