Traditional Logic of Criminalizing Adultery

Note: the following is not intended to be misogynistic, this intends to demonstrate a general pattern that results in infidelity and what we can do as a society to prevent it because infidelity is emotionally painful. Infidelity is a result of sexual freedom for either gender to pursue their own immoral sexual strategies. This piece assumes the truth of hypergamy. Hypergamy is the tendency for women to prefer the best partner whether she is partnered or not. In any relationship, the invisible force of hypergamy (as well as polygyny for the man) is real but hidden. In this piece we will consider three parties in a relationship, a woman, the man she has, and the man she wants, i.e. women, betas, and alphas. Apart from these definitions, the terms are arbitrary and have no scientific implications or backing for that matter. They are anecdotal. The adultery law benefits the beta and harms alpha male as well as women. The women desire commitment and resources from the alphas. Because ma...

Only Idiots Use Logic

Even posteriori knowledge (for example, arguments for the existence of God) that seems certain cannot be said to be certain! This is because posteriori knowledge relies on the limited ability of the mind to make conclusions. Richard Hamming asserts, "Just as there are odors that dogs can smell and we cannot, as well as sounds that dogs can hear and we cannot, so too there are wavelengths of light we cannot see and flavors we cannot taste.  Why then, given our brains wired the way they are, does the remark 'Perhaps there are thoughts we cannot think', surprise you?  Evolution, so far, may possibly have blocked us from being able to think in some directions; there could be unthinkable thoughts."  Even Ghazali held similar contentions. He claimed that there was an absence of a criterion to determine the certainty of the most certain posteriori knowledge; he expressed this contention with an appeal to dreaming.  “So there may be, beyond the perception of ...

Islam Didn't Permit Polygyny, Nature Did!

High Marriage Market Values Will Inevitably Result In Polygyny First of all we need to define marriage market value; it is the sum of the factors that are considered when a person is to be married. Some people call this sexual market value but the idea is the same. This set of factors differ per gender and to different degrees. For our purposes we will label them as universal factors (i.e. 99% of a gender considers this a desirable trait) or conditional factors (i.e. considerable portion of members of that gender considers this a desirable trait). For example, some factors in the man's marriage market value that are universal are factors involved in preselection: wealth, power, status, hygiene, fitness, health, ambition, persona, good looks, and strength. Some conditional factors involved in a man's marriage market value that are height, emotional softness/hardness, character, piety, aggression, dominance, sexual history, and humor. Some universal factors involved in the ...
