Human Nature

Are human beings fundamentally and essentially Good or Evil? Or is this the wrong way to frame the question? Or is this the wrong question to ask?

At first glance, human evil is obvious enough. Their irrationality and senselessness is massive and undeniable. The way they attack and damage themselves and their fellow man – both currently and historically – is stunning to see and horrific to contemplate.

And yet human babies seem good enough. Infant human beings are evidently innocent and pure. They almost never seem irrational or senseless. And they rarely or never deliberately harm themselves or even their fellow man.

Kittens and puppies also seem morally good – if such a designation can be applied to them. Indeed, when various high-level mammals are born – including predators – it seems almost ludicrous to judge them morally low. They very much seem loyal to their inborn, intrinsic nature. If such lifeforms aren’t naturally virtuous and good, then at worst they seem morally neutral. They are what they are. They are this based on their inherent biology, and to judge them evil seems untrue and unjust.

Maybe humans are the same. Just looking around at people today, and studying human history, there seems to be a lot of evidence for this. Kids start out mostly sweet and wonderful, but as they grow up they manifestly become corrupted and degraded by their irrational, senseless, illiberal culture. Unhealthy and unhappy society seems to drag them low.

When a human child is born, he initially seems to be quite sincere and honest about looking at his world, himself, and his fellow man. He seems fairly bold and brave too. While he looks to grow and improve, he’s filled with an eager curiosity about virtually everything and everyone; and malicious destructiveness about virtually nothing and no-one.

So the best and most accurate conclusion to draw seems to be that human babies are fundamentally and essentially good. They’re rational, sensible, honest, brave, harmless to self and others, and beneficial to both. It’s malevolent and evil Society that makes humans bad. It’s depraved, irrational, illiberal philosophy and culture that corrupts and degrades humanity. This intellectual and spiritual failure warps and wounds their sacred essence. It almost forces them to damage themselves and their fellows. But when an unattacked product of Mother Nature, human beings are evidently fundamentally and essentially good.

Brainwashed

 

Everyone is brainwashed. Our massively stupid and evil culture indoctrinates us all into illiberalism. Our parents, teachers, preachers, news media, social media, art, entertainment, intellectual journals, universities, and think-tanks brainwash us into a high level of illiberal beliefs and behaviors.

The result is a planet of low dumb monkeys. A world of foolish, wicked, warped, perverted, corrupt, malicious, hateful, disgusting, miserable, filthy animals.

Even tho reason, science, and philosophy came into the world 2600 years ago, people still largely think and claim reality is unreal, existence doesn’t exist, facts are unfactual, and the truth is untrue. People say that to be reasonable and live rationally is irrational and immoral.

They argue the universe is a fantasy and illusion. They say it’s fundamentally unreal and non-existent or, at best, unknowable. People claim that appearance and reality conflict often, usually, or always. “God”, however, exists, and can be known. “The lord”, it seems, is real and true.

These low dumb monkeys go on to claim that selfishness, or concern for the self, is evil. It harms the practitioner and destroys society. These loathsome baboons also claim that greed, or the desire and pursuit of values, is evil. Being selfish and greedy, they say, secretly hurts and undermines the individual, just as it openly hurts and wrecks the group. Instead of aggressively embracing the ideals of enlightened selfishness and rational greed – and trying to make ourselves and our lives great – we should be slaves to the deity, which doesn’t exist, or to the collective, which doesn’t exist either.

The depraved repellent macaques of mankind further argue that freedom is slavery and wicked. They say we should reject personal liberty, social libertarianism, and economic capitalism in favor of welfare statism. We need to “serve humanity” by wildly coercing it. This “soft” form of “benevolent dictatorship” is “for their own good” and “for the greater good”.

Thus, today’s worldwide welfare statism. It’s a mild form of personal, social, and economic tyranny which isn’t all that mild. It’s a moderate form of fascism and socialism which isn’t all that moderate. It’s a limited version of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao which isn’t all that limited.

What a nightmare world this is. What a nightmare set of illiberal beliefs we virtually all hold.

But the painful reality is people do believe this stuff. Essentially everyone is brainwashed. However false and evil, people fervently believe and slavishly follow all of it. Ultimately, this is a planet of low dumb monkeys which desperately needs to be put out of its misery.

The Good and The Great

 

It’s rare or unknown today to meet, or even to become aware of, someone who is genuinely educated, insightful, profound, good, or great. Someone who is healthy, strong, confident, light-hearted, fun-filled, serene, joyful, or happy. This failure and misery is because virtually everyone nowadays is so illiberal.

Their philosophy, culture, society, and personal milieu is low, weak, dark, empty, vapid, foolish, corrupt, and depraved. Our post-Enlightenment, post-modern, post-liberal Dark Age is so irrational, ignorant, brainwashed, diseased, absurd, and bizarre that it doesn’t much allow any such solid, fine, accomplished, impressive, magnificent, or heroic person to emerge and thrive. Not even to humbly subsist and precariously survive.

Of course, every philosophy, culture, and society have some contact with reality and truth. Some rationality, understanding, virtue, and excellence. Some liberalism. They’d die without it.

But, nowadays, such persons and societies haven’t much.

The Working Class

 

In the wake of the somewhat surprising “Make America Great Again”, Donald Trump, presidential victory of late 2024, his Republicans now seem to be the party of the “earning working class”, while the Democrats are evidently the party of the “thieving working class”. This political transformation and differentiation seemingly began with the “Reagan Democrat” blue-collar workers and voters of the 1980s. It’s worth noting that both Reagan and Trump were heavily opposed – and even hated – by “RINO”, “country club”, and “establishment” Republicans, especially their top leaders.

The earning working class Republican Party supporters are those who genuinely work hard and produce – the skilled workers and entrepreneurs who are the backbone of the American economy, and even society. The thieving working class Democratic Party supporters are those who don’t actually work hard or produce – the low-talent parasites of America. These slackers are usually deadweights or worse. They are the privileged few who sleazily acquire cushy union, mafia, or government civil servant or bureaucratic “jobs” which are usually quite hard to get. These blood-suckers generally have to “know somebody” or “”pay someone off” to obtain these sinecure and “no-show”-type jobs.

Earning working class jobholders don’t earn nearly as much as thieving working class jobholders, but they should. In fact, their respective salary statuses should be reversed. Indeed, in most cases the thieving “job” holders should have their union, mafia, or government employment positions eliminated from the work force completely. These mostly fraudulent and Democratic “workers” are robbers, crooks, parasites, traitors, and cancers which destroy America.

Immigration

 

Immigration is destroying the world. The West is being flooded by Third World savages. Ever since 1965 or so, America, Britain, France, Germany, and many others have been under increasing invasion and attack by lowlife foreigners. These people are highly inferior in nature and nurture. They grossly degrade the quality of life in every nation they infect.

The main countries which are heroically resisting this alien assault and metastasizing cancer are Japan, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, and (semi-Western) Russia. They defy currently accepted social standards because they don’t want all the crime, beggary, drain on public resources, debasing of culture, support for tyranny, bigotry, and treason which the Third World barbarians bring. Whether legal or illegal, these almost-all black and brown "migrants" do immense and permanent harm to the mostly-defenseless Western nations they invade and partially take over.

These monkeys are intellectually, morally, and spiritually inferior. These animals are inferior in their childhood upbringing and adulthood culture. They transform and ruin every country they overrun. It's high time this nightmare be stopped.

Only good people should be allowed into the West. Only people of high intellectual and moral quality who improve and uplift the nation. Only those of generally superior education and culture who don’t hate the country and society they’re moving to. Japan, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, and Russia have the right idea. Until recently, so did Canada and Australia.

It isn’t “racist”, “nativist”, or xenophobic” to reject being invaded and taken over by foreign monsters and evil aliens. It’s rational and normal. It’s healthy and virtuous. In today’s Woke world, it’s admirable and heroic.

Why let the tiny civilized portion of the world be ravaged for no good reason? Why uphold a fatuous and depraved social ideal if it means the destruction of mankind?

Voting

 

"Vote!" "Go out and vote!" "Be sure to vote!" Moral do-gooders say this a lot. But why do they?

Most people are morons and scumbags. The last thing we should want is for them to "go out and vote". Who wants to be ruled by morons and scumbags?

As a matter of fact, the vast majority of today’s intellectual and moral elite are also morons and scumbags. They shouldn’t vote either. We should lock them up if they try.

For over two centuries now almost everyone in America has voted badly. The United States started out as a partially-capitalist and semi-free nation, but has since gone steadily downhill in the direction of welfare statism and socio-economic enslavement.

And all because of the voters. They almost always decide to cast their ballots for tyranny over liberty. Given a chance, they select Big Brother over individual rights. They’ve perpetrated this monstrosity for over 200 years now and there’s no indication they’re ever going to change.

So the refrain of "be sure to vote" which we frequently hear from self-consciously virtuous busy-bodies is bizarre. Why cheer on evil? Moreover it’s worth noting that when Americans cast their vote for welfare statism over laissez-faire capitalism – as they do about 99% of the time – they’re committing an absolute crime.

Natural Law forbids people from voting to coerce or enslave their fellow man. And this Natural Law supersedes human law and applies to everyone everywhere always. So if someone does vote for coercion or tyranny "because it’s the lesser evil" or "just this once" or "only during the current emergency" or some such, they’re engaging in a criminal act for which they should be incarcerated.

Supporting the new version of Hitler or Stalin – even "not-that-bad" Hitler-lite or Stalin-lite – simply isn’t allowed in civilized society. Justice demands such voting miscreants and malefactors be fined, whipped, and lengthily tossed into the clink. Maybe even stripped of citizenship and deported to a commie or muzzie hellhole.

So all this unreflective, amoral, "get out and vote" business is real nonsense. Only people who are well-educated, and morally good should be allowed to vote. And only people who decently believe in liberty and justice for all.

No buffoons permitted in the voting booth! No graduates of barber or clown college. No nitwits or dirtbags of any type. No rightists, leftists, anarchists, fascists, socialists, or religious nuts. And no-one who has gone on welfare or committed a crime. These are society’s losers, failures, enemies, and traitors. No-one wants to be ruled by them.

Far better if the moral do-gooders of the world were to say: "Don’t vote!" "Stay home, monkey!" "Keep the hell away from the ballot box, pitiful jerk!" and "Don’t make things even worse, you miserable vermin!"

For almost everyone today, voting is a serious crime they should try not to commit.

Natural Disasters

 

Despite what people today almost universally believe, it is not the job of government to help people recover from natural disasters, like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, earthquakes, and storms. If they’re hurt, or their homes or businesses are damaged, it’s mostly the job of self-caring individuals to help themselves. It’s also the job of expert aid organizations, both paid and voluntary. It is not the job of a “helpful” welfare state or a “soft” Big Brother, which have no right to exist.

Firstly, in the event of a rare natural disaster, people need to take proper precautions. Afterwards, if disaster has still struck them, they need to call upon their savings and insurance. Next, they need to turn to family and friends. After that, they need to look to neighbors and coworkers. Lastly, they might in desperation try applying to public charities or begging from random strangers. But they better learn a great lesson from this.

Ultimately, specialist and expert aid organizations are pretty good at helping people get back on their feet. Governments, in turn, are terrible.

It’s the job of government to protect people and property – not to assist disaster victims. That’s not part of its function and it has no idea how to do it. The only proper activity of the state after natural disasters is extra police activity to prevent opportunistic looters.

However much our world is currently trapped in the nightmare of the nanny state, and state regulation of everything, government has no right to “rob Peter to pay for the disaster victim Paul”. Proper government isn’t involved in charity or “redistribution” of wealth. That’s robbery and tyranny. Any thieving, “helpful” state agency, or those who support it, need to be tossed in jail for a decade or three. Government should never rob the public treasury to pay for those suffering from life’s inevitable catastrophes, emergencies, injuries, diseases, poverty, bad luck, and the like. That’s the job of the various individuals involved and their professional medical, repair, and construction organizations. By definition, government is incompetent to help and will always foul up.

In the end, everyone needs to be smart, virtuous, and ready, when to comes to potential natural disasters. They also need to have reliable savings and insurance, family and friends, neighbors and coworkers, and so on. If they don’t, that’s their fault.

Such people need to have more self-love and live more responsibly. They need to behave like respectable, worthy adults – not pathetic, helpless children. In certain rare and extreme situations, possibly people should rely upon public charities and random strangers. But proper, proud, and noble folk rarely or never accept charity or beg. Even in the event of a hideous disaster, people should try to be noble souls and not pitiful worms.

Life deep in the Industrial Revolution era is essentially easy. Everyone is rich and ready to roll. But every once in a while horrific disasters strike, and these can be hard. So it’s the job of every person to be overall prepared for them. It’s the job of society too.

But it’s never the job of government to “help”. It’s morally wrong to steal from society and the public coffers. And the “aid” these pathetic people receive from the evil, tyrannical welfare state is almost always dreadful and close to worthless.

People need to create a free and capitalist government, and resultant society, which makes everyone a millionaire. Then they need to use that money and their native intelligence to be ready for emergencies. They need to save plenty of money, get proper insurance, form good relationships with family and friends, and all the rest. Then natural disasters will hurt them far less than before.

The Permanent Depression

 

The government is forever at war with the economy. The government is forever destroying wealth and causing poverty, pain, misery, and death. This includes the South Sea Bubble (1720), Panic of 1797, Panic of 1837, Panic of 1857, Long Depression (1873-96), Panic of 1907, Great Depression (1929-39), Global Recession (1981-82), Great Recession (2007-09), and Wu Flu Lockdown Depression (2020-21).

All were caused by government coercion and the welfare state. But all were blamed upon economic freedom and capitalism. Mankind has never learned the lesson of these bubbles, panics, recessions, and depressions.

When government attacks the economy it does damage to it. So too when it attacks society and the individual. But such assaults and coercion – such regulation, redistribution, tyranny, and “help” – is universally seen as good for the economy. It’s seen as good for society and the individual too. For 300 years now mankind has been unable to figure out that freedom is good and slavery is bad.

The Scientific Revolution of the 1600s led to the Industrial Revolution of the 1700s and the widespread capitalism of the 1800s. Humans became impossibly wealthy. Simultaneously, culture was radically enriched, society turned remarkably harmonious, and individual happiness soared.

Such was the product of moderate political, economic, social, and personal liberty. Full liberty would have produced utopia.

But philosophical geniuses -- and thus political leaders too -- didn’t understand this. So government was forever on the attack. Intellectuals and rulers viewed political, economic, social, and personal freedom as mostly evil. Such welfare statists always wanted to “improve” society and “fix” the problems caused by “too much” freedom and “the excesses” of capitalism.

Hence, our welfare state -- and not a free state. It “reined in” individual rights and human liberty in order to avoid Marxist “exploitation” and “oppression”. Also the natural “chaos” and “social destruction” of overall freedom. Additionally, the welfare state controlled the “robber barons” and “private slavery” endemic to unregulated capitalism. The evils of freedom never end!

For three centuries now government has embraced various cockamamie economic and social theories such as mercantilism, socialism, Keynesianism, and monetarism. These justify its attacks upon men and business. The coercive welfare state offers benevolent “guidance” which lessens or prevents the “business cycle” and the “booms and busts” inherent to economic freedom. The coercive welfare state benevolently “redistributes” wealth to lessen or prevent poverty and the unjust inequalities of wealth natural to economic freedom. The coercive welfare state benevolently “regulates” the economy to lessen or prevent the “natural monopolies” and “private tyrannies” which are a permanent part of economic freedom. This is what everyone thinks.

But in real life, the coercive welfare state is forever "benevolently" creating real depressions, recessions, panics, exploitation, oppression, tyranny, poverty, pain, misery, inequality, monopolies, etc. thru regulation and redistribution. These last two are tyrannical and have no right to exist. The welfare state does damage via myriad labor laws and Big Business permits, licenses, franchises, charters, monopolies, subsidies, protectionism, tax loopholes, and more.

Government creates plutocrats, oligarchs, and robber barons as it establishes and enforces enslavement, tyranny, fascism, corporatism, crony “capitalism”, and phony “capitalism”. Government inflicts these horrors upon the world because real capitalism and economic freedom are universally seen as evil, just as welfare statism and political coercion are universally seen as cures for this evil.

You couldn’t create a more fatuous and depraved belief-system if you tried. But this nonsense and nightmare has been believed by virtually everyone for 300 years now.

And humanity will never learn. When it comes to politics, economics, sociology, and personal behavior, it isn’t in the power of mankind to understand that freedom is good and slavery is bad.

BHKH

 

The intellectual achievements of George Berkeley, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Georg Hegel are widely celebrated, but it’s hard to see why. These four similar thinkers are generally considered some of the greatest philosophers ever; and yet their theories are so false and evil. Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel have damaged mankind immensely thru their remarkable irrationality, lack of common sense, and denial of obvious truths. The individual and society have suffered enormously.

George Berkeley is probably best known for his idea-ism or “Idealism”, the doctrine that only minds and their ideas are real. Berkeley’s assertion that material objects do not exist independently of perception defies the common-sense view that the physical world is real and existent, regardless of whether or not anyone is looking at it. This “out of sight, out of mind, out of existence” claim is a fundamentally irrational and senseless view which denies the seemingly obvious truth that physical things and material objects continue to exist even when not observed, whether by “god” or man. Berkeley’s bizarre claim undermines confidence in reason and the human mind. His attack on sensory experience and near-universal belief generates a form of Skepticism so extreme that both intellectuals and average men lose confidence in their ability to gain knowledge about basic reality. The damage this nonsense does to fundamental understanding, rational self-confidence, and the human spirit is incalculable.

David Hume, in turn, takes Skepticism to new heights with his radical questioning of causality. He claims our basic beliefs in cause and effect, the continual self, and even the external world are not grounded in reason and actual reality, but in mere habit and custom. One thing may happen after another, due to a seemingly direct and clear impact, yet Hume claims no conclusion can be drawn from this, no matter how carefully it’s observed, recorded, analyzed, and tested. Ultimately, Hume disbelieves in objective reality and truth; and even himself as a certain being. By denying a reasonable and scientific basis for these foundational concepts, Hume’s philosophy promotes fundamental irrationality and senselessness. His notion of causality casts serious and painful doubt that events in the world are connected in predictable and comprehensible ways. This dreadful Idealism and Skepticism leads to an intellectual paralysis and uncertainty in which the observation and study of the universe is seen as essentially hopeless, and any real search for truth, knowledge, and understanding is futile.

Immanuel Kant compounds Hume’s errors by positing a complex and baffling system of “transcendental” Idealism. This is even more irrational and nonsensical than the ideas of Berkeley and Hume. Kant argues that human observations and experiences are fatally shaped by the limited nature and inborn categories of their minds, such as space, time, and causality. While Kant claims his beliefs preserve the possibility of knowledge, in fact he argues humans can only know appearance and not reality. They can only know things as they seem but not “things-in-themselves”. This defies common experience and good sense. The idea that our understanding of the world is fatally and hopelessly mediated by the innate structures and inescapable flaws of the mind contradicts all of human history and virtually every individual’s experience of the universe and life. Kant’s separation of phenomena and “noumena” is without evidence or justification. Everyday perception and experience rejects his literally irrational and senseless ideas. Kant adds to his destructiveness and nonsensicality by claiming people shouldn’t be morally good in order to be great or happy, as everyone supposes. Rather they should be “good” without hope of reward, and thru a mindless and arbitrary adherence to self-sacrifice based on duty alone.

Georg Hegel “learns” from the three previous thinkers, and is arguably the worst of them all. He complicates and damages the philosophical landscape with perhaps the most convoluted and extreme Idealism and Skepticism of all. He looks at the universe and then claims subjects and objects are the same, or else form a single inseparable unit. No real evidence is offered for this claim, and like Berkeley, Hume, and Kant before him, it’s hard to see how such “knowledge” and “truth” is relevant to philosophy or benefits mankind in any manner whatever. Certainly Hegel’s notion of the “absolute” is a highly abstract and elusive concept that seems to lack practical relevance, purpose, and benefit for men.

*  *  *

People seek to understand their universe and themselves, accomplish great things with their short lifespans, and experience pleasure and happiness at the highest levels possible. And people turn to philosophers for help in this. But it’s hard to see how the irrational, senseless, incomprehensible, tortured, schizophrenic, irrelevant, worthless, dispiriting, depressing claims of Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel achieve any of this.

In the end, the philosophies of George Berkeley, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Georg Hegel – such as they are – aren’t just pointless and useless, but positively damaging to mankind’s job and hope of obtaining knowledge about material and moral reality. They shake confidence in the universe and reality, reason and mind, knowledge and truth, and life and self. These “philosophies” confuse, perplex, disorientate, and alienate. Actual truth, genuine knowledge, common sense, and practical information and education perish under their freakish and malign influence.

It’s clear that the influence of these pseudo-philosophers extends well beyond obscure think-tanks and academia. Their ideas have shaped countless aspects of culture, politics, and society. The damage they do to Western Civilization, sound thinking, truth, moral goodness, and real life is immense. Metaphysical bafflement, epistemological agnosticism, cultural relativism, and fundamental amoralism are the result. People become apathetic about their sacred existence as they lose intellectual hold of their formerly competent minds and good sense. Such philosophical victims ignore, and end up repudiating, the differences between truth and falsity, good and evil, civilization and savagery, joy and agony. Postmodernism, Wokism, ignorance, depravity, and misery are the result.

In summation, the philosophies of Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel promote irrationality, are oblivious to practical reality, lack common sense, and deny obvious truths. Their worthlessly complex, esoteric, and abstract ideas alienate people from reality and intellectual truth while creating anxiety, confusion, disorientation, and despair in the real world. By denying the clarity of existence, the trustworthiness of sensory experience, the rational basis for fundamental concepts, the possibility of direct knowledge of the world, and the reality and objectivity of truth, these “philosophers” undermine, suborn, and defeat the natural and necessary human acquisition of knowledge and understanding of reality, leading to intellectual, cultural, and moral ambiguity, relativism, devastation, and oblivion.

Equality

 

There's no loose and sloppy ideal more loathsome and destructive than "equality". Not even unity, democracy, peace, or love. Equality is the violator of justice. It's the despoiler of virtue. The crusher of talent and merit. Under the ideal of equality, the great man and the lowlife are treated the same. By the standard of equality, the ingenious shining hero and the imbecilic insectoid demon are regarded and rewarded the same.

No social ideal could be more depraved than this. The more equality is practiced, the more the high-quality and noble individual is attacked. The more the highly-civilized and exalted society is mauled. Equality is raw evil and the devastator of both.
