More voluntary provocations

 Kindness without rationality is not only stupidity but also insanity


The essence of kindness is still not being polite, as many seem to think, but being fair


Still, the kindest is the one who is the most altruistic and, at the same time, most fair. A rarity...


The rotten essence of capitalism is that anything goes for money


Conservatives love to blame the lack of religion in the Western world today for what they call "moral degeneration." But many of these cultural changes are the fault of capitalist ideological influence, particularly the greed to profit from any opportunity, including those considered the most "immoral"


Moral degeneration is not exclusive to the “left”. Centuries of traditionalist or conservative cultural hegemony, poverty, social inequalities, unfair prejudices, insane dominant ideologies and many wars do not let us lie


Are conservatives, on average, false collectivists?


If it is easy to say you are in favor of a society when its culture mirrors its way of thinking and living


The problem with living with people with low cognitive abilities is that they also tend to have low emotional intelligence.


And the problem with living with more intelligent people is that they also tend to have lower emotional intelligence compared to their cognitive abilities, but they are more implicit in this expression of disability than those with lower abilities, or more concealed.


Who defends an evildoer (objectively determined):


- Do you think you could be in the same situation as him, that you would act the same way (pure speculation)


- Thinks that we are all literally or absolutely equal and that he deserves to have the same rights (even after proving otherwise)


- And/or is equal to him


Much of the current policies of the so-called Western left are based on cheap emotional blackmail


Typically, the leftist looks for complex explanations for what is simpler, while the rightist looks for simple explanations for what is more complex.


Around every tyrant leader, there is a crowd of mercenaries and idiots


A typical way of relativizing basic concepts, such as truth and knowledge, is to produce unrealistic or extreme examples, such as "Sophie's Choice" situations.


Many understand emotional intelligence with empathy, control and charisma. But, emotional intelligence is also feeling sadness, anger or shyness at appropriate times or circumstances, sometimes long term or indefinitely.


Emotional intelligence can also be the option of distance


The most irrational tends to become more "nice" when they realize they are oppressed and the opposite when they realize they are more "empowered"


The most rational tends to become more fierce when they realize that they are objectively oppressed, but more moderate when they are in power (which, in adaptive terms, seems to be less logical)


Parents do not tend to like a child more because he appears to be more 'problematic' than the others, but just because they like him more, without having an explanation beyond that.


Parents who do not set adequate limits on their children are just as problematic as those who set too many limits.


Parents who do not notice conflicts between their children, especially conflicts that generate unfair treatment from one party to the other, are also not demonstrating excellence in this role.


In relation to knowledge about the most basic, true philosophy is sufficient, as it does not need science and its specialization of logic, its generalization is enough. For example, regarding religious belief, a legitimate philosopher does not need the scientific method to doubt its veracity.


The difference between the wisest and the most intelligent is such that it is comparable to the difference between two different species.


It is almost certain to say that the majority of self-declared philosophers are a combination of a failed artist (writer or poet) and a failed scientist, that is, they fail to be one or the other, in a genuine way, and end up becoming neither of the two. the two, rather than seeking to be exactly like a philosopher, a balanced combination between the emotional artist or the existentialist and the analytical scientist or the realist


When you write very well, you are capable, but also very likely to fill a large part of your writing with your disguised ego.


The belief that France is a great philosophical center is a likely symptom of pseudo-intellectualism


Cultural relativism and egalitarianism attract the most naive to the most perverse. But, generally, the most common type is a combination between the two, because every true fanatic is like this


As despicable as fanatics are false moderates


Self-declared left-wing or social justice individuals want to end all privileges, supposedly... But the only way to do so would be through the establishment of a fully meritocratic society, or an intellectocracy.

(my ideal way of society, the government of the wisest)


An exemplary profile of extreme irrationality is that of an individual who believes in God, Marx and Lamarck at the same time.


Believing that capitalism is an ideal model of meritocracy is another symptom


Ideological indoctrination (as opposed to education/philosophy) is a systematization of the fallacy of suppressed evidence


If collectivism is the sacrifice of the individual for the "good of society", is individualism the sacrifice of society for the "good of the individual"?


I have already said in other texts or thoughts that religion, like ideology, is a more intuitive form of self-therapy. However, I can also say that this self-therapy is a type of masking of the disorder that should be correctly treated. Such as, instead of telling a person with a psychotic disorder that their delusional thoughts are delusional, to agree with reality or part of reality that they have decided to distort to accommodate their personal issues divorced from the facts
