If humanity has advance, it is only to the degree in which we can disguise and disperse our basic instinct to dominate and control others. Jobs, Education, intelligence, power, money, sport, competition, games, These are all means by which we desire to control others. In each field or activity, our selfish desires are disguised, and we put on a cloak of civility in order to make them seem enlightened, which is clearly out of humanities reach. Sport being the most basic means by which one herd of tough, alpha males battle another herd of alpha males, while millions of beta males and females cheer on, while attempting to be the alpha male in whatever field their in. Hence, sport and subsequent involvement or fascination, becomes an alpha male trend. Jobs, are merely a way of controlling others, every step on the "corporate ladder", is only indicative of your alpha male status. With a job, you then can control other aspects involving limited control of other males, in other jobs. With more money, you can afford to display bigger and better control of things, the faster car, the better house, i.e. you have successfully controlled enough factors, or males, and hence, you have now inched closer to alpha male, the perfection.. It's a shame that, when the modern woman comes in, and totally destabilises the above chain of thought, that men then get reduced to gibbering piles of flesh. Take the above statements, as seriously or hilariously as you like. Despite the appearance of humanity, we are all the same. No matter what internet persona's we may attempt to put on.
And....?? What's your point? And more importantly, I suppose, ....what do you suggest be done about it? Baron Max
It is also the way the strong help the weak as well as the way laws, education and welfare are equall among everyone.
The strong only help the weak when they're forced to do so! In addition, the weak don't even help the weak unless they're forced to do so. And ...voila'... there's the force! Society has enacted tons of laws that force people to do what they most probably don't want to do, and wouldn't do unless they're forced. Baron Max
And the smart guys just let the "jocks" maintain their delusions of "superiority" Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Ooh, and someone who's interest is in control of others is "worth" something because...? Says a lot for their "alpha-ness" doesn't it? Gibbering pile of flesh because *gasp* a woman has thoughts. Oh my! And mine. D'accord. Depends what you mean by "strong". If they truly are "the strong" who is forcing? And how are they doing it? Bullshit.
Society will try to help those that cannot help themselves by giving those who cannot afford to pay for their own education free education, as an example. That benefits everyone as a whole.
Is it a consistent failure? Is a 100% failure? Maybe we should just drop all efforts and sit around til we die off altogether.
I agree, and the natural outcome is complete nuclear devastation. The solution must be biological (or chemical).
