To determine the health of cultures we must know the quality of their relationship toward their environments, and most intrinsically, the relation toward memes that are used to unite individuals with their ecosystems. Before this however, we must undertake a strong criticism of everything cultural around us by understanding primitivism. For us to ever evolve healthier cultures, first we [...]

A Guide to Cosmic Evolution – Part 1
Modern civilization and socialization, despite their glamour, are mortal; their death is assured in that they deny everything ‘absolutely’. People who are infected with social diseases refuse to internalize the natural world around them, and at that price, nature has a special place for them - Death by technology! If our democratic elections are anything to go by, the majority [...]
The split between religion and science is over
When it comes to questions regarding conscience, many people immediately fork into many differing viewpoints. Science will say that conscience is a result of neurons connecting to other neurons in the brain; whilst religion will tell us that it is primarily our souls. The two seem impossible, even mad to reconcile to our modern minds, [...]
On interface layers and our perfect inequality
A couple months ago, on one of our affiliated discussion domains, an interesting dialogue took place. The discussion topic was inspired by an essay by Vijay Prozak at the domain titled Oncology.

Tests by Health Canada scientists revealed the highest levels were in energy drinks, the often caffeine-loaded beverages that have become popular with teenagers seeking a buzz and athletes chasing a [...]
Words to an alienated teenager from his potential future self
Recognize reality, but don’t become negative. You realize that this society is moribund, that people are in denial, that most of them are stupid and/or have vapid values, that jobs are for tools and that your government is basically a retard with a FEMA card. Your job, if you reflect on it, is to master [...]
Transcendental Christians versus symbolist Christians
Scanning around the web for death metal-related information (a favorite passtime) I found some Christian folks who seemed rather irate about death metal. Although I started life as a radical Christian hater, I now view Christianity as one means through which philosophies can be expressed. Specifically, if we express Romanticism — transcendental naturalistic idealism with [...]
More Scientific Observations That Humans Are Not Important
Not on the evolutionary scale, and certainly not on a cosmic scale. We might think we’re special, but the reality is, we’re a very tiny piece of a puzzle so large that our species and its history counts for nothing in the truly big picture. The scientists deduced that whatever is driving the movements of [...]
