Sobriety, drunkenness, cause and effect, Hume, faith, love, and misogyny

***

Sobriety is the state of functional drunkenness.

There is no cause and no effect in a continuum. Re: Hume: the sequential is merely additive, not causitive.

Faith is an emergent property.

If you love something then you hat what it is not, or what will harm it. Love begets hate.

No misogyny here ladies: because we became the politicians, and heads of business, and athletes that you want to be. Because we struggled not against you, but for you. Because you can't be part of a system in which you are the reward. Because that would mix up the ends and the means.
