Rise of the Asexual male

I got it. But I disagree from a philosophical standpoint.

I will take a Skinner'ian approach here, perhaps it's shallow, but behavior not intention is what matters in my opinion.

Because ultimately, people with good intentions will behave in positive ways. I see your point that some people with neutral (or bad) intentions also may behave in positive ways, but that's just a by-product. People are creatures of habits, after a while, even they, themselves, may lose the boundary of real intent and real action.

This "think of it, hence become of it" adage is one of the tenets of our way to growth and success even to "get women", isn't it?

Anyway, we have made our points. Handshake, as in chess, "gg" for "Good game".

Cheers,

Japanese men have moved ahead refusing to give their blood, sweat, and tears to a society that gives them nothing in return.

This is interesting as it diametrically opposed to the Kamikaze pilots ethos, in which such men were brainwashed into doing the ultimate sacrifice, as it they would be remembered by the Japanese women. Talk about the ultimate cuckoldery! :moon: :kick:

if you think for a second that in this society your inherent personhood matters as a man, you are sorely mistaken. This society just does not care. There exists a very real power however in knowing exactly where one stands, no matter how desolate and isolated your situation is.

If we know we are alone, then its possible that men just might for once in history find it mutually benefecial to help each other out for a change, to stop crawling over each other to get to the top and start asking ourselves why is it the we always seem to start at the bottom while the other half of the human race gets a leg up in every conceivable way from the state, and from our culture in general? Why are we made to compete with each other, to tear each other apart and hate each other, in order to gain acceptance from the very people that hate men for being at the top, and hate them even more for being on the bottom of the societal ladder.

The answer to this is anarcho-capitalism. Meaning the solution under which men would be most free, and only be bound by their abilities to create something that other people freely value.

They sort of tried it with the constitution, but that didn't last long. Lincoln put the nail in THAT coffin.

Government. Power. You put ANY group of ten guys anywhere for a long enough time, and one a$$hole will feel a need to stand up and say, "I'm in charge! We do things MY WAY!" The the rest of the people will go along with him.

Once there exists power (beyond what one can attain through production), men will do anything to achieve it and maintain it.

Here's a good read:

The Rise And Fall Of Society

Chodorov was a giant

IT MAY BE that wary beasts of the forest come around to accepting the hunter's trap as a necessary concomitant of foraging for food. At any rate, the presumably rational hu- man animal has become so inured to political interventions that he cannot think of the making of a living without them; in all his economic calculations his first consideration is, what is the law in the matter? Or, more likely, how can I make use of the law to improve my lot in life? This may be described as a conditioned reflex. It hardly occurs to us that we might do better operating under our own steam, within the limits put upon us by nature, and without political re- straints, controls, or subventions. It never enters our minds that these interventionary measures are placed in our path, like the trap, for purposes diametrically opposed to our search for a better living. We automatically accept them as necessary to that purpose.
