Historically speaking; governments and armies turn on their own people when defeated in war.
Humans are creatures of limitation. It is through lies, deceit, restriction, theft and enslavement for which we built our existence upon. It's a simple biological fact of nature. Traits that future silicon based life forms may circumvent.

Good cop bad cop way of life is as institutionalized in America as marriage.

We humans are problem solvers. Regardless of how good things get, we will always insist on finding the problem and fixing it.
Humans evolved from our brains. Our bodies relative to animals are grossly inefficient at dealing with the natural world. We have not wings to fly, fur to keep us warm, scales to let us swim. Nope, we just got our brains.
Natural is the biggest scam in the world. Humans survive on nothing but unnatural processes. Natural is not in it.
The universe is not your friend. Right here on earth, if you go up 10,000 feet, the environment starts to kill you. Swim down about 50 feet into the water and again, the environment will begin to kill you. No, the universe cares nothing for you. But the fine film of atmosphere here on Earth is your friend for life.
I wish everyone could experience being rich and being poor. I think most would think twice about being rich.

Integrity is structure. Not an ideal or a philosophy but a physical structure. This structure is what influences life.
Stephen Pinker
“As you are hearing these words, you are taking part in one of the wonders of the natural world. For you and I belong to a species with a remarkable ability: we can shape events in each others’ brains with exquisite precision... Simply by making noises with our mouths, we can reliably cause precise new combinations of ideas to arise in each other’s minds.”
Language is “an extraordinary gift: the ability to dispatch an infinite number of precisely structured thoughts from head to head by modulating exhaled breath.” ?
“People know how to talk in more or less the same way that spiders know how to spin webs.”
Figuring out how the human mind works is like finding an old tool and finally realizing it’s an olive-pitter. Once we see its purpose, all the parts make sense. Evolutionary psychologists do the same with the mind: when we understand it was shaped to help our bodies pass on genes, our thoughts and behaviors suddenly become clearer.
People don’t consciously try to copy their genes, like rushing to sperm banks or giving away eggs. Instead, our minds developed ways of thinking and feeling that helped our ancestors survive and have children.
“By Darwinian standards I am a horrible mistake… But I am happy to be voluntarily childless, ignoring the solemn imperative to spread my genes. And if my genes don’t like it, they can go jump in the lake.”
The 20th century had terrible genocides caused both by false Nazi ideas about race and false Marxist ideas about changing human nature. The real danger is not studying nature or nurture, but extreme ideologies that deny people their basic rights.
Of course it matters how parents treat their children. Parents can affect their kids’ happiness and safety, and beyond that, they should treat them kindly because it’s a human relationship—just like with a spouse, the goal isn’t to change who they are, but to build love and respect.
It’s strange when people claim intelligence isn’t real, because everyone relies on the idea. Schools, jobs, politics, and even laws use IQ when making decisions, from hiring teachers to judging if someone is too impaired to face execution.
Suggesting that men and women might differ in STEM fields often sparks anger and accusations of sexism. But studying differences isn’t the same as wanting inequality—just like studying why women live longer doesn’t mean wishing harm on men.
Equality doesn’t mean all groups are the same. It means each person should be treated fairly as an individual, not judged by group averages like gender or race.
Feminism means women should not face discrimination, and that principle stands no matter what science finds about sex differences. The truth is not sexist, so we should separate the moral fight for equality from the scientific study of biology.
Feminism matters when it fights for fairness and against discrimination, but not when it pushes extreme or unrealistic ideas. What’s important is equality, safety, and freedom of choice—not forcing identical outcomes or blaming everything on conspiracy theories.
Science and morals can’t just be written off as myths or customs. If they were, we couldn’t cure diseases, travel to the moon, or stand firmly against things like slavery and discrimination.
“The decline of violence may be the most significant and least-appreciated development in the history of our species.” ?
News focuses on disasters and violence, not on the peaceful places where nothing bad happened. With billions of smartphones capturing every incident, there will always be enough bad events to fill the headlines.
Bad events happen fast, but good progress takes time and doesn’t fit the daily news cycle. If the news only came out every 50 years, it would highlight big achievements like longer life spans, not everyday scandals.
“It’s getting harder and harder to talk about anything controversial online without every single utterance of an opinion immediately being caricatured by opportunistic outrage-mongers.”
“When universities are suffocated by cancel culture and other kinds of repression of intellectual freedom, we are disabling our only known means for approaching the truth.”

Charlatans promise certainty magicians promise surprise
When a claim cannot be tested it cannot be trusted
The laws of nature bow to no performer
A psychic’s secret is simpler than most imagine it is trickery dressed as prophecy
Skepticism sharpens the mind like a blade kept honed
The cure for gullibility is a good demonstration of method
Magic shows what skill and practice can do not what spirits will do
Belief in nonsense costs more than money it costs truth
Science is the real magic because its wonders endure examination
The path to truth is paved with uncomfortable questions
To question is not to mock to question is to care about what is real
Every swindle is built on the victim’s silence
The most important tool of the skeptic is the willingness to say show me

You are the trim tab the small adjustment that turns the great ship of humanity
Synergy is the discovery that the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts
Synergetics is the geometry of thinking revealing patterns nature has always known
The geodesic dome is proof that more with less is not only possible but inevitable
Dymaxion means dynamic maximum tension the art of doing the most with the least
On spaceship earth there are no passengers only crew and every crew member matters
Pollution is simply a resource we have failed to design into usefulness
Integrity is the trim tab on the soul the tiny rudder that guides the whole ship of destiny
Children are born trim tabs ready to redirect the future with the lightest touch
Synergy happens when cooperation births results no single mind could foresee
The geodesic dome teaches us that strength can come from lightness not heaviness
Dymaxion maps remind us there is only one ocean and one island earth
Synergetics shows that nature prefers tensegrity balance between push and pull
You never change things by opposing them you become the trim tab that turns the rudder
Efficiency without integrity breaks the ship and sends all crew adrift
The caterpillar does not yet know the butterfly but the design is already dymaxion
Every person is a trim tab a tiny change steering the course of civilization
Geodesic design whispers that curves can be straighter than lines
Synergetics insists that the universe is a pattern integrity woven into geometry
On spaceship earth cooperation is synergy survival and design all at once
Dymaxion dreams remind us that doing more with less is the key to abundance
War is the bankruptcy of synergy imagination wasted on destruction
The future belongs to those who see themselves as trim tabs of possibility
Geodesic patterns echo in spiderwebs soap bubbles and galaxies alike
A good tool is dymaxion transforming task and transforming user
Synergetics teaches that tension and compression in balance create strength
The trim tab lesson is simple small changes shift great systems
Geodesic domes show that beauty is the byproduct of efficiency
To design is to act as the trim tab bending the course of the future
Spaceship earth’s wealth is not mined from the ground but discovered in synergy
A dymaxion house reminds us that living lightly is the true luxury
Every problem becomes solvable when seen through the lens of synergetics
The smallest element can redirect the largest force the trim tab proves this
A geodesic worldview reveals unity where maps showed division
Dymaxion design is nature’s way expressed through human ingenuity
Synergy occurs when ideas collide and reorganize into patterns unforeseen
The universe is a geodesic web a network of tension and balance
Synergetics is not a subject it is the grammar of the universe itself
The trim tab reminds us that change begins with the smallest deliberate action
The Dymaxion car was not a machine it was a philosophy of motion
To think dymaxion is to seek efficiency with elegance
In geodesic form we glimpse nature’s preference for efficiency made beautiful
The synergy of cooperation is wealth beyond calculation
On spaceship earth the trim tab is not a part it is you
Synergetics calls us to geometry not of shapes but of relationships
Dymaxion design means lightness durability and grace combined
A geodesic dome shows that triangles are the atoms of strength
You cannot design for yourself alone every design is dymaxion design for the world
Spaceship earth requires no passengers only trim tabs who know their role
