The Rational Ugly Truth

When you think rationally you must take the truth, no matter how ugly. For instance, poverty is caused by overpopulation and the solution is control of the population. Thinning out resources to try and support everyone will wipe everyone out because the population always grows to around a third larger than the available resources.

This is due to a hardwired instinct for us to reproduce based on our perception of available resources and perception of opportunities, which are illusions engineered by free market capitalists solely for their own profit and not society as a whole.

As of this post's date and the fact that unemployment benefits are not being renewed by the U.S. Congress, you're probably getting a clue now. They must cut us off to keep us from making more babies but it's too little, too late. Now they must figure out how to take care of who is still around without being accused of genocide or euthanasia. Of course if the minimum wage goes up, even more babies...

When Ayn Rand wrote about Objectivism, it was distorted and misrepresented as a philosophy instead of simply being the truth about human behavior; that self-interest supersedes all ideology and that bias is inescapable, no matter how altruistic or objective you think you are.

We must accept that fact that there is always a difference between what people say and what people do, and that everyone is prone to deceiving even themselves. The primitive parts of the brain that control self-preservation and other urges are dominant, as evidenced by epidemic obesity, diabetes, abortions, birth control, unwanted pregnancies, crimes of survival, unemployment, etc.

Again, Ayn Rand's Objectivism is not really a philosophy, it's an ugly truth for most people. There are a few rare children who pass the Marshmallow Test and come out ahead of the crowd throughout their lives, but "Free Market Capitalism" cannot profit from having these types of personalities as the dominant class. The population, according to a successful capitalist society should succumb to their baser urges and immediate gratification. Go shopping!

The best way to exercise the primitive brain and energize primitive emotional materialistic hunger is through the empty promises of an unproven afterlife and unanswered prayers.

Instead of meditating to control their urges, or working to delay gratification until after thinking rationally, most people pray for things, and then aim their efforts and resources at trying to answer their own prayers.

Ignorance

A few brain cells of mine are sparking. First I must try to articulate the idea by walking through a bunch of truisms and cliches.

There are two reasons to maintain irrational beliefs: Fear and Dominance. Rational people are the enemies of the fearful and the dominant, because the fearful don't comprehend rational people, and the dominant are threatened by rational ideas.

Rationality is Witchcraft to the fearful who find comfort in the simple words of the Dominant.

Rational people are a minority by design. They are vilified as nerds or geeks, etc. Anything associated with science in education is institutionally bullied by the financial disparity between academic and sports programs and marginally beneficial employment curriculum.

I suggest that the majority of the fearful are neurologically incapable of reaching beyond dogma into the world of pragmatism. They are literally bred into a majority through social engineering by the collective targets of every conspiracy theory, the elite who organized our social interaction from the beginning: Racists, "Ethnicists" (TM), Cultural and Subcultural Separatists, Classists, and every so-called "respected" individual who created a group identity that corralled people into arbitrary divisions.

The aforementioned divisions can all be subdivided into the Fearful and the Dominant because they are all under the influence of religion. The Rational minority among them are aberrations. Our successful evolution as a species cries out for cessation of any activities that enable the continuation of the Dominant and the Fearful.
