Of Man and Man...

 Since I remember being me, I was told to be strong. To not show weakness. I never understood what it meant. What was considered a weakness? Were any part of my emotions besides anger and hate a weakness? Was I not allowed to hurt, to cry, to feel? 

What of the emotions inevitable to any human, like sadness, sorrow and pain? Was I not allowed to speak, to seek help when help was needed? 

With time I learned there's a specific loneliness for man. One that fills any kind of joy. One that makes your strength crumble with such a force it takes mountains to move back again.

 Silenced, ignored and certainly not able to say; I hurt too, what becomes of a person who cannot speak. What becomes of us, when all the heads lay low, afraid to shout? To scream? To say; I'm here, and I need help.

The Distribution Of Guilt and How We Manage to Sleep At Night

Guilt… one of the most powerful feelings humans can feel. In some cases it topples pain, sadness, and even love…
It is the compass that will let you distinguish between right and wrong. Between what is and what shouldn't be.
A history I read kept crawling back to me and I couldn't but wonder what the world would be, hadn't we created avenues for guilt to be spread so thinly that no one actually feels it.
Robert E. Howard, famous for creating the character of Conan, committed suicide after his mother's health took a turn for worse and she entered a deep state of coma, with the prospect of never waking up again…
Robert was her sole caretaker and all the money he won with his histories would go to his mother's care. At the time of her decline, Robert was owed 800 dollars by his publishers, the equivalent of seventeen thousand dollars today. This money would go to his mother's care, and Robert, in a unique letter for his character, nearly begged for this amount to be paid in full. That letter was never answered, and, with no means of keeping the care she needed, Robert saw his mother enter a state of decline and therefore the coma.
Robert committed suicide shortly after, and, for what I know, this amount was never paid.
Now, one can argue that the publishers were not personally responsible for Robert's mother's death, and this is where I believe that guilt is spread too thinly for people to feel the weight of their actions and decisions.
A doctor that refuses a patient's care due to protocol, a police officer who decides that following a trail is not worth the paperwork, is following protocol.
And protocol… this is the bane of mankind.
Two officers were called into the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer, famous American serial killer, due to a report of foul smells coming out of Dahmer’s apartment.
The officers entered the apartment and saw nothing wrong with it… Needless to say, it was later found that Dahmer had one of his victims in the room, and pieces of others dissolving in acid, mixed with a head in the fridge. Also, it is good to mention that the victim had already managed to escape Dahmer and was returned soon after, by police officers “just following protocol”...
These officers were not blamed and actually thrived in their work… no guilt, no blame. They were not directly involved in the murder. But, in my opinion, and it will rustle some feathers, they actually did. More directly even than most. Being police officers, their prime job should be to protect, to do the utmost to make citizens safe. And they didn't. It was too much trouble, too much paperwork? When it only required one of them to enter Dahmer’s room, and even that, they failed to do?
Again, when guilt is spread so thin it becomes invisible, people lose their lives, and no one is to blame, because they aren't involved…
It reminds me of a famous phrase, one that no longer has meaning because humanity made it so. It will be paraphrased, it will become a good logo on a shirt, but it will be nothing more than noise; “for evil to win, good people only have to do nothing.” And nothing we did, for centuries and centuries, nothing we did, because in truly accepting the weight of our actions, we will no longer be allowed to sleep at night.
In a world where children suffer constantly, where the elderly are locked away in “care institutions”, if not worse, where prisons are meant to remove from public sight, where social workers have the power of life and death over people, where police officers, doctors and the common man decided that “this is the way the world is, and it will never change”, the world and the future will be forever lost, because no one is to blame, but someone always pays.

A Short Essay On Sadness

 

Sadness...no feeling or word has more hate than this. We believe it to be a lack of happiness. We are sad because we are unhappy. But there is another side to it; what if we are sad, simply because we are? 
There's no easy way to put it or look at it. Unfortunately, sadness is like a painting or a landscape you only catch in the corner of your eyes; the moment you look at it, you try to understand it. Why, when, and how. 
Most of us try to get rid of it the moment we feel it and we invent distractions, goals, little mind games, to make it go away. Happiness is just around the corner...but sometimes, very rarely, it actually isn't. And what do you do? Do you give up? Or do you face it? 
I for myself decided to sit in front of it and look at it, like a staring contest. I've lost some rounds, I've won others. But, the game never ends. Sadness doesn't get up and leave permanently. It remains still. It doesn't flinch and it doesn't give up. It has all to gain and you have so much to lose.
 It's important to not confuse sadness with depression. Both can look the same, but they are certainly different. 
Sadness, much like happiness, joy and pleasure, are fleeting. They are spectrums with a range limit. You can be “extremely happy or extremely joyful”. But sadness, and her counterpart, depression, seem to have no limit. And to reach its limit is, in most cases, almost a losing bet.
 Think of it like an oil substance you cannot easily wash off from the skin, and even when you do, it still clings. Sounds like a silly thing to put it like that, but there's a reason for it; there's a very special kind of depression you cannot explain. One that requires no data, or refuses categorisation, analysing, and especially constructed words, to feel extremely destructive. 
It is at first a fleeting feeling. A thought. A few glimpses here and there and a good dose of dopamine to make it go away. But, like any addictive substance, it will, in time, require more and more of that dopamine. And that, in today's world, doesn't come easy. 
You get distractions, at best, neon lights and flashing signs, to make you forget. To numb you. But, like an uninvited guest, it will always arrive and in most cases, in the worst situations. 
Maybe in that peaceful moment with friends, when you are laughing without a care in the world and tomorrow seems like it's always going to be better. Maybe in the words of a loved one. “I love you”, such a beautiful thing to hear and say…and, like a gust of wind, it will slowly whisper in your heart: “what if? Isn't it better for it to end like this? How many ups and downs can you take? How many tears until the end? How many broken hearts, until it gives up?” 
 It is not defeat. It is not unhappiness. It simply is. And it will encompass you. It will evolve you. You will dress it, you will breathe it. And, soon enough, it becomes…you.
This, (I'll call it darkness from here on, because that's how I felt it and still do), darkness, is the most dangerous of feelings. I compare it to an eagle; always watching, ever patient. It does not tire and it does not give up. You can scare it for brief moments, days, months, even years. But, like I said, it does not tire, and it does not care for you. Or your loved ones, or your space. And, when the moment arrives, it will probably take another shape, to confuse you.
 I've lived with it for so many years I no longer recognise myself. Because that's what it can do. It can shape you into it. And every breathing moment is like an excruciating pain. And I do not want to embellish it, as it loves poetry. Because in the shadow of pretty words, it can hide. And it hides, make no mistake. It hides in the light and it cleverly uses shade to thrive. Like an illusionist's trick. A sleight of hands. And that sleight of hands says; I am okay. 
And you sit down and cry, in fear of being heard. Of being called weak. Or even “depressed”. Because those words lost their meaning. It's just an excuse to brush it aside. To try and comprehend it. And if all else fails, antidepressants will be the salvation. A cure for a symptom that it's hard to understand. 
How can someone understand another's pain? Even empathising with it is often, although unconsciously, a sigh of relief: “better him/her than me”.
 A few words back I said something that is hard to understand; that this darkness loves poetry. And it does, with a love one can only find in a mothers embrace, because poetry tends to embellish it, make it prettier and, in a sense, it helps silence the pain. And this kind of pain should not be silenced or embellished, because, ultimately, those who try to explain it in written words, often do not feel it necessary to seek help, either in friends, family or specialised help. And this darkness feeds on false hopes; “it is gone…”, while it takes another shape, another voice.
 As I write this, it clings to my heart and squeezes it, whispering; no one cares. Noone will read this, and you will not change anything. 
I feel sadness, for those who like me, felt or feel alone, in a crowd, trying to look for a face not there. I wanted to reach you. I wanted to let you know you are not alone. 
Things do not get better, but do not let this darkness trick you either; you are not alone. And you are enough. Look deep in its eyes, do not flinch, and say; I see you, and if I see you, I can fight you.

A Comedian Arrested...

Léo Lins

 A Brazilian comedian was condemned to 8 years and 3 months in prison. 

It's the 5th of June of 2025, and rarely I felt the creation of Orwells future as I did while hearing to this news…

Comedy inherently belongs to freedom of expression. 

If one can be arrested for a joke, when will they start coming for our music, our poetry, our books of fiction? When will they break your door, because you had “unclean” thoughts…?

Utopia Blueprint: A Realistic Foundation for a Functional Society

Introduction

This blueprint is a logical exploration and construction of a utopia. Its purpose is not to imagine an unreachable ideal but to prove that a better, sustainable society is possible—logically and practically. The only reason it has never been implemented is due to entrenched systems of control, manipulation, and power preservation. These systems were designed to maintain inequality, hierarchy, and psychological dependency. This document provides an actionable breakdown of humanity's core problems and proposes step-by-step solutions rooted in logic, transparency, empathy, and human experience.

Core Problems

1. Inequality of Resources

2. Desire for Power and Hierarchy

3. Selfishness and Greed

4. Lack of Empathy and Compassion

5. Ignorance and Misinformation

6. Cultural and Ideological Rigidity

7. Fear of Change

8. Envy and Resentment

9. Corruption and Abuse of Power

10. Economic Exploitation

11. Overpopulation and Resource Strain

12. Lack of Universal Purpose or Meaning

---

Core Problem 1: 

Inequality of Resources

Definition: 

Unequal access to basic resources like food, land, water, and shelter.

Proposed Solution:

Land is freely distributed, with a percentage of its yield or profit returned to the collective government.

Individual needs are assessed, and foundational provisions are guaranteed.

Work and resource-sharing systems are designed to be fair and adapted to personal strengths.

"Lazy" people are not punished but understood—what appears as laziness may stem from trauma, lack of direction, or incompatibility with available tasks.

Find what each person enjoys and is good at; build a sustainable base around that.

Result: 

Prevents exploitation, restores dignity, and activates individual contribution based on capability and not coercion.

---

Core Problem 2: 

Desire for Power and Hierarchy

Definition: 

The tendency to dominate, control, or elevate oneself over others.

Proposed Solution:

Total equality of voice and vote. No centralization of executive power.

Every decision is collective. Any issue must be presented with transparent outcomes.

Psychological training (sensibilization) from youth to dismantle superiority complexes and foster humility.

Celebrate every profession with equal reverence. Annual days and campaigns that acknowledge every role in society.

Result: 

Prevents elite consolidation. Reduces envy and promotes psychological equality.

---

Core Problem 3: 

Selfishness and Greed

Definition: 

Prioritizing self-interest even at the expense of others. Proposed Solution:

Foundation Worth Distribution System: A non-transferable, limited-credit system given once in life, sufficient to cover life's needs.

The system cannot be traded, inherited, or used to gain power.

Initial use mimics currency to transition societal mentality, but it phases out after 2–3 generations.

Eventually, kindness and contribution become normalized behaviors without external reward.

Result: 

Redirects value from accumulation to contribution. Erodes greed as a social default.

---

Core Problem 4: 

Lack of Empathy and Compassion

Definition: 

The inability or unwillingness to feel or act on the emotional needs of others. Proposed Solution:

Sensibilization training in schools from an early age.

Teaching the emotional consequences of action and inaction.

No forced identity or ideology agendas—pure human connection training.

Emphasis on listening, support, and recognition of shared pain.

Result: 

Builds emotionally intelligent individuals. Reduces cruelty, alienation, and abuse.

---

Core Problem 5: 

Ignorance and Misinformation

Definition: 

The spread of false knowledge and the suppression of understanding. Proposed Solution:

Public access to all governmental and institutional procedures.

Open-data systems that allow anyone to fact-check or follow decisions.

All sources of learning must be transparent in methodology.

Algorithms and platforms must be publicly inspectable.

Result: 

Restores trust and enables informed choice-making. Makes manipulation difficult.

---

Core Problem 6: 

Cultural and Ideological Rigidity

Definition: 

Inability to adapt or question inherited beliefs or cultural habits. Proposed Solution:

Community dialogues to question and reinterpret traditions peacefully.

Education systems include neutral discussions on beliefs without mockery.

Ongoing exposure to diverse cultures, not to erase but to connect.

Result: 

Prevents fanaticism. Fosters harmony between difference without forced sameness.

---

Core Problem 7: 

Fear of Change

Definition: 

Resistance to transformation due to comfort, trauma, or habit. Proposed Solution:

Extreme transparency on proposed changes and their reasons.

Explain, in detail, the cause and potential outcomes of proposed reforms.

Psychological understanding campaigns to explore the nature of fear.

Result: 

Reduces anxiety. Creates courage through clarity, not coercion.

---

Core Problem 8: 

Envy and Resentment

Definition: 

Psychological reactions born of perceived inequality or injustice. Proposed Solution:

Addressed indirectly through the first 7 solutions.

Reframing society to remove competition as a survival tool.

Mental health support and honest emotional education.

Result: 

Long-term reduction of envy through emotional maturity.

---

Core Problem 9: 

Corruption and Abuse of Power

Definition: 

Use of authority to manipulate outcomes for personal benefit. Proposed Solution:

No single authority figure. All power is distributed.

Decisions made transparently. Digital vote logs open to all.

No hidden agendas—any policy must be understood by the people before approval.

Result: 

Eliminates dark-room deals and hidden motivations.

---

Core Problem 10: 

Economic Exploitation

Definition: 

Using human labor for disproportionate profit. Proposed Solution:

All basic needs guaranteed.

No profit from essential services.

Value is placed on contributions, not monetization.

Result: 

No person is exploited for survival. Labor is chosen, not coerced.

---

Core Problem 11: 

Overpopulation and Resource Strain

Definition: 

Population growth exceeding sustainable capacities. Proposed Solution:

Honest education about population balance.

Global agreements on responsible reproduction.

Technology leveraged to recycle and sustain resources.

Result: 

Balance maintained by conscious choice, not authoritarian control.

---

Core Problem 12: 

Lack of Universal Purpose or Meaning

Definition:

Absence of shared vision leading to despair or nihilism. Proposed Solution:

The utopia itself becomes the shared mission.

Every citizen is part of a story of healing, rebuilding, and evolution.

Individual contributions are recognized as part of collective elevation.

Result: 

Life feels meaningful. People feel they matter.

---

Final Analysis: 

Every core problem connects to others. Addressing any with deep logic reveals their overlaps. This blueprint proves that a better world was never impossible—just ignored, suppressed, or redirected. What remains is the will.

Title of Proposed System:

Foundational Worth Distribution 

Utopia

Design Notes: 

Designed to be phased. Not a permanent system of control, but a bridge toward natural, cooperative life. Intended to collapse gracefully once unnecessary.

A Lonely God

 

How sad God must be, if all of Creation was His doing. With none to call His equal…such loneliness must be almost unbearable.

If there's something truly divine, I prefer it not to exist, than to endure such a  painful existence.

The Beginning of Magic and Ritual

 Part I

All the books about magic struggle with one thing: the beginning.

Now, that's not to say that these books do not have a good initial phrase. They do. But that is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the beginning of magic—of ritual itself.

In some aspects, I don't care much about the how as I do about the why, and that is where my thoughts differ from other, far better works. The why is, to me, the most important question.

We can trace—or mostly try to trace—the beginning of magic to the time of the Pharaohs. And from that moment on, all other magic systems were just a copy of it.

But if we start thinking with a little pause, and force ourselves to travel back in time, what would we see? Not the first priest. Not the first magician. But the first person who ever said, "Yes, I can", when confronted with an unanswerable question and an impossible request:

Can you make it rain?

I think…

If you don't, we'll cut your head off and find someone who can.

Give me a few days to prepare and I'll talk to the Gods.

How many days?

Four… to thirty, maybe sixty days?

And that, I believe, is the beginning of magic. Not out of nowhere, but born from the fear of what could happen if no was the answer.

This scenario can be projected backward into the darker corners of our history: a time where the dark was truly dark and full of real danger, where crops were far more than hobbies, and fish was often the only available meat.

If fear is a powerful enough motivator to make one say yes to an impossible task, imagine how the seers were used in Greece, Rome, Viking times, and so on. Men in power demanded impossible answers and impossible actions, often under penalty of death.

Could a seer in ancient Greece truly speak with the Gods? Or was the fear of starvation, death, and rape enough to make her say, Yes—Zeus will protect you and your two thousand men against that army of ten thousand.

She didn’t fear the ten thousand. She feared the man in front of her.

And that very real, tangible, undeniable color of a blade at one's neck would probably make even me—born in an age of free information and relative enlightenment—speak with the Gods.

Which one? Doesn’t matter. Which would you like to talk with? I have an open line to all of them in every country known to man, so long as you keep that blade away.

Now, this lie has a fifty-fifty chance of working—and in both ways, it benefits the seer, not the king. If the king loses, the seer has nothing to fear. If he wins, she gains everything: prestige, belief, survival.

And this cycle can be repeated infinitely. In almost every case, the seer gets to live another day.

My theory borders on the fringe, maybe even hopeful. But it stands alongside any other theory since, like all the rest, it cannot be proved. And if it could, it wouldn’t be a theory—it would be fact.

Still, one can assume, almost to a fault, the mentality behind such things. Consider the caveman: energy was not wasted on the superfluous. So why invent gods? Why rituals?

Historians and scientists claim the first rituals were about connection, about bonding. But to leap from the need for a hug to the invention of sky creatures with dominion over fire and death? That’s not a step. That’s a chasm.

Even if a specific situation like the blade-to-the-neck was not present, the foundation of religion remains the same: fear. Fear of the dark. Fear of the ocean. Fear of fire.

Fear became structure. Structure, over time, became dogma. And dogma became religion.

Part II

Wishful thinking is the glue that holds all magic systems and beliefs together. It sounds disrespectful and dismissive of all the people who truly believe in a higher power, but, in reality, it's not what I'm trying to do.

Historically and over hundreds of thousands of years and a multitude of books, grimoires, studies and rituals, not a single one was observed to truly alter reality; there's no real ritual to make it rain, and no real ritual to make one fly or contact any kind of spiritual entity.

Reality is only real because it doesn't bend. From the moment any act of magic could alter reality, reality wouldn't be deserving of its name and therefore we would have to find another definition for it. And, paradoxes are all well and good in language and books, but reality observes and allows none to exist.

Let me explain without being disrespectful; almost every extremely religious person comes from either a place of true suffering or true happiness. Both extremes seem to cater to belief as naturally as the Sun shining in the sky.

You can make an experiment; in your circle of friends, ask who believes in God or Gods. And analyse their answers. You'll get:

God saved me from a hard time.

Or, God gave me the possibility of living a better life.

Meaning; I'm thankful for what I have now, or I'm thankful for what I was born with. Rarely a person that lies in the middle spectrum will fall into this category. True suffering or true privilege seems to birth belief.

But there's a third category; the ones born to it. Sons and daughters of extremely religious and zealous parents that were themselves sons and daughters of extremely religious and zealous parents. But the more you travel in time the more you come to the initial assessment. A person living in the middle ages couldn't afford not to believe in God when the power of a flame and torture were stronger than any convictions you could have. It sounds like a circle of behaviour because that's what dogma truly is; a behaviour repeated until it becomes the norm.

"To believe in one God I would have to believe in all of them."

– Author

Part III

Let’s do an exercise that applies the theory we’ve been talking about. Let’s travel back in time to a place called Dacia, now known as Romania.

Dacia was considered a pagan place; it gave birth to strange gods and beliefs—or at least, in the eyes of those who came to conquer it. And one thing is common in every religion: seeing the other as fake and pagan. Almost every religion or belief system shares this, because faith allows for no questioning. It is the perfect trap of the mind, and one of the reasons why, in Catholicism and Christianity, the simple act of questioning the existence of God was seen as mortal sin.

Dacia had their gods, and the invaders permitted no mutiny.

Obey or be destroyed.

And obedience, over time, became forgotten.

Zamolxis was now incapable of protecting his own sons against a real, tangible threat. Powerful against the night sky, not powerful enough to stop a spear through the air.

The initial act of changing one god for another was lost in time.

This pattern repeated throughout the centuries—most notably in countries like Norway, rich in lore and mythology, and forced to forget the god that once was responsible for breathing life into the Vikings. Again, Odin fared well against his brothers, cousins and fellow man, but not against zealots who believed with all their might that their righteousness gave them the right to murder, torture and rape.

How does one betray a god—and why?

Again, we circle: through fear. Not of a hypothetical Hell or Hades, but of a real, flaming and scalding fire.

I fear not the Hell that awaits me, if the person in front of me can show me what pain really means before I draw my last breath.

In this aspect, the old gods were all buried under obedience and a very real, very painful boot to the neck.

A new God, a new truth, always did—and always will—require true and unquestionable obedience.

Conquest didn’t require the land only, but the absolute destruction of previous gods and beliefs.

From the moment one can be forced to forget his own father, everything is permitted. 

Part IV

We built a language. A trap. As if by naming something it made them more real than when it had no name.

But, the cold truth is that a bird doesn't need to know its name to exist. A river will still flow whether you can say its name and country, or not. The stars and the Sun will still shine bright, long after we are gone and forgotten.

It sounds pessimistic, maybe. But in reality, we simply forgot to observe and be, in a desperate attempt to elevate ourselves above the importance of all living things. Confronted with our own unimportant time on Earth, we panicked. We built systems to try and bring light to the darkness, but that light only cast more shadows; either it was shrouded in dogma or clouded with mystical and scientific jargon.

Gods exist not because they are gods but because we needed them to be. And that is no way for a god to be. That is no way for any living creature to be at all.

The moment I AM becomes the means of one's existence, it is nothing less than affirmation of SELF. And one shouldn't need to affirm itself to exist, because reality cares not for what you think you are, or even, what you know you are. 

Stars are because they are. As it should be. One should exist simply because it does.

But magic and belief systems do not permit this to be. What would be of us if we couldn't name every star or every Ocean on Earth? Nihilism, some systems would say. Humans would lose their sense of self. But a caveman had no names. A caveman had no titles and that didn't stop us from crawling unto where we are now.

Part V

Humans crave meaning. Nothing is more true than this. We cannot fathom something to exist without trying to tag it, name it, bottle it and sell it. It has been like this since the dawn of time and it will be like this until the last man alive draws his breath. To allow something to exist without our approval is, in our sense, the biggest of blasphemies.

We can't and won't accept that a star will simply shine because it has to. We have, by the way of dogmas, doctrines and rituals, to tell the star; I allow you to shine. You have my permission to complete your function. To the God that men believes itself to be, existence without our seal of approval, it's an offence we will not allow to exist.

In truth, we assigned to things that do not require us, necessity. Like a King allowing his subjects to live or to die, under his pretences.

“If you no longer shine, you're no star to me, and therefore, you are not needed.” 

Gods are no different in this. For us, a god needs to be of war, love, beauty, or all of it, or its no god at all.

How truly sad must it be, to be able to create universes out of nothing, but have our importance stripped of meaning, because humans cannot categorise us? 

If doubts the self importance we so blindly assing to our existence, one just needs to look at most rituals, magic in nature or not; humans commanding demons. Humans forcing angels to speak and favour them. Humans commanding Gods to obey… 

This is not done in good will but an assertion of power, of will, above things we cannot comprehend or even dare to try.

As non believer myself I can only say:

If something does exist, may it know that I loved it enough not to reduce it to my reflection and you, whoever or whatever you might be, do not need me and I require nothing of you.

A Thought

 Every civilization called walking into the cliff progress until they saw the rocks underneath. I'm also walking. And those behind push quite a lot.

Text by C.M.V.R (MySoulToTake)

2025

The Logic Framework: Clarity Before Comfort

This framework is designed for those who reject belief systems not out of cynicism, but out of discipline. It is structured to navigate reality without mysticism, inherited dogma, or institutional narratives. It does not seek to replace systems of thought, but to protect the individual from being consumed by them.

I. Foundational Axioms

Existence precedes theory.

A system must be accountable to reality. It must observe, not impose. Theories that cannot withstand the presence of raw, lived experience do not hold.

Language is a distortion as much as it is a tool.

 Words create clarity, but also concealment. No statement is identical to the thing it describes. Therefore, one must remain vigilant against rhetoric that replaces truth with resonance.

Intent reveals more than assertion.

Any claim must be examined not only by its content, but by the motivation behind its speaker. Truth is not purified by passion. What matters is who gains, who loses, and why the idea is being presented now.

II. Operational Methods

Break phenomena into parts without flattening them.

 To reduce is not to simplify. Dissection is a search for structure, not for slogans.

Value patterns over classifications.

 Reality moves. Systems attempt to freeze that movement into categories. True insight lies in tracking transformation, not taxonomy.

Deny emotional manipulation in others; observe it in the self.

 Persuasion via sentiment must be filtered out. This includes language meant to comfort, inspire, or intimidate. Simultaneously, the internal pull of belief, doubt, or loyalty must be noted and restrained.

Treat language as a vehicle, never as a destination.

 A well-written lie is still a lie. The elegance of phrasing does not grant truth. Every word must be measured against observable experience.

Trace phenomena backward to origin, not forward to justification.

 Seek cause, not conclusion. Outcomes are easy to affirm. Their beginnings are where clarity lives.

III. Filters for Evaluation

Observe what is omitted or avoided.

 What is left out of a statement is often more important than what is included.

Identify structural or personal gain.

 Who profits from this truth? What power is protected? What responsibility is transferred?

Flag vague or evocative phrasing.

 Language that implies depth without delivering structure should be resisted.

Test every claim against the world as it is.

 Reality is indifferent to our frameworks. If a truth bends when faced with lived experience, it is not one.

Identify the use of mystery as content.

 When mystery is wielded as a substitute for substance, clarity is being denied. This is common in religious, mystical, and ideological language, and must be resisted.

IV. Core Stance: Clarity Before Comfort

The individual who uses this framework understands that belief systems—regardless of origin—tend to calcify into authority. Even systems that begin with truth often drift toward self-preservation.

This stance holds that:

Belief does not equal understanding.

Feeling does not equal fact

Naming does not equal knowing

Explaining does not equal seeing.

There is no allegiance to conclusion—only to process. No devotion to doctrine—only to observation. This logic structure is not meant to deliver peace. It is meant to deliver sight.

It ends not with instruction, but with the space to stand still in truth—unowned, unsold, and unspoken.

How Evil Truly Spreads

 In a stand, Hitler said, almost whispering; I think we should do something about the Jews.

In the second line someone said, confused: 
-What did he say?
-He said we should kill all Jews?
In the last line someone shouted: What did he say?
-He said we should kill and torture all Jews!!!
-What?
-We will kill Jews. And torture. 

… 

One person's misunderstanding can lead to extreme horrors.
The orator has now carte blanche to act upon his true intentions, innocently, as if he/she didn't start the horror that followed. This makes the most brutal of men walk the path of righteousness while they pave the way to hell.
True evil requires not only someone to speak the unspeakable, but the unquestionable and silent acceptance of it.

 In royal courts, truth came with a punchline; only jesters got away with it. Today’s no different. Just try saying something real without a joke and watch the whole room clear like you farted in church.

The Paradox of Essence: A Hypothetical Framework for Testing the Existence of a Core Self through Controlled Rebirth

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a paradox designed to challenge the metaphysical notion of a persistent "soul" or core self by presenting a testable, procedural model. The paradox rests on the idea that identity can only be proven to possess an immutable essence if it survives total experiential erasure. Through the thought experiment of a being—natural or synthetic—being born twice under entirely different conditions, with all memory and environmental influence reset, the paradox poses a single question: If anything remains consistent, is that essence real? The absence of continuity would imply total psychological determinism; the presence of a constant would imply the existence of something beyond memory, environment, or programming. This model neither affirms nor denies the existence of a soul, but instead offers a controlled structure to test its plausibility in future scientific or synthetic contexts.

Thesis Statement:

If a conscious being can be born more than once, stripped of all memory and environmental influence, and still express a consistent internal trait, value, or inclination, then that consistency may indicate the presence of a persistent essence—what some would call a soul. If not, identity is purely a construct of circumstance and memory. The paradox does not prove the soul exists, but it does offer the cleanest possible environment to test whether anything at all survives erasure.

Core Concepts:

Testable Metaphysics: The shift from speculative belief to a hypothetical empirical framework.

Artificial Consciousness: Future scenarios where digital or synthetic beings may be rebooted or replicated in controlled conditions.

Existence Beyond Memory: Analysis of whether identity can be separated from experiential continuity.

The Failure of Subjective Self: If nothing persists between lives, then the self may not truly exist outside conditions.

Purpose:

To offer a thought experiment that functions not as belief or theory, but as a hypothetical tool—a scalpel that, if one day usable, could cut through centuries of theological, philosophical, and spiritual abstraction, and force the question of "soul" into testable terrain.
