Intellectual Salvation From The Primitive, Instinctive, Reproductive World


Now, that I reflect, I realise how amazingly sensible people around me are in dhs. (I thank the world spirit for showing me that there are people who are not hormone-driven). Despite being in a Co-Ed school, tales of scandalous revelations between this evolved homo erectus and that advanced homo habilis are few and far between. Human instincts are at least MANAGED. Maybe because humans secrete more hormones as they reach their reproductive late teens (xiaoyang please enlighten me on this), I have been witnessing a blossoming of human reproductive extravaganza(like frenzied chimpanzee running from one mate to another).How the hell can people manage to jump from one mate to another within a few months or even days? Or worse, jump from one mate to another after a few years, when one with better genetic makeup comes along...

Guess I am just a stupid cheena boy.

Decided to read the communist manifesto to stay sane from the mad world. All was good until this particularly absurd piece, which makes me confirm philosophy has got more wayang kings than philosopher kings:

Charles Fourier (1772-1837) constructed a theory of society in the aftermath of the French Revolution. It was based on the "science of passionate attraction" According to him, 'civilisation produced poverty and misery because it was based on the repression of the passions'. In the approaching era of 'harmony', humanity would live in 'phalansteries', elaborately designed communities of around 1620 people in which all PASSIONS could be expressed and combined. In place of the monotony of marriage and waged work, all FORMS OF SEXUALITY would be FULLY EXPRESSED. Work would become MORE ATTRACTIVE, it would be combined with the acting out of specific forms of DESIRE. Among the passions not recognised by 'civilisation', was the 'butterfly'-the need for variety and change, felt MODERATELY every hour and ACUTELY every two hours. That is why, different activities of the day needs to be divided into two hours period.

I can write this kind of crap when I am five.
