Philosophy seems to branch out into various different tracts on the
mental level, but did you know that the mental level is vastly
influenced by external stimulai. How you deal with the environmental
stimulai provides your mental outlook on the world. It is thus that
it is very important that the way you perceive the world the way you
grew up be examined closely to better understand the origins of your
philosophy on life.

What most people don't know is that the way they think of the world
has a profound impact on the world in general. Lets take an example
of the usual model of advancement. Since caveman times, people's main
instinct was to hunt and eat (food and shelter). The main purpose in
their philosophy was to be able to find the next meal and a place warm
to sleep. That is how the genes tuned for.

You cannot go much by instincts on the Earth of today.
In days of yore - the male had a very strong "protective" instinct toward the
female. The female was considered weaker - vulnerable - fragile and the men

This has caused a spate of vulgarity - bad language - nastiness - rudeness
(much evidenced on usenet) and the chivalry and honour and code of conduct by
which the male lived has effectively been destroyed along with the protective
instinct for the female that made him tall and strong and thus now we see the
lack of leadership and the wimpy weak men.
The instinct for gaining food and shelter - where once man had to be strong
and a good hunter and provider - has now been replaced by the accepted fact -
that in order to have these things you require money.

You clearly have not studied the Paleolithic. Take a look at the
"Willendorf Venus"!

What you laughingly call "protective" is actually "proprietorial".
What you see as vulnerable is actually chattel.

Has this happened to you?
