Reality has taught me lessons in common sense, and I believe it holds the key to a prosperous future for humanity—one that could endure indefinitely. At its heart, common sense suggests that conflicts must end, which can only happen when people embrace Reason. This requires us to be healthy in body, mind, and social bonds, sustained by activity, proper nutrition, and a clean environment. What follows are examples of how Reality reveals these truths, guiding us toward a life aligned with Reason over instinct.
Consider the division between men and women: it’s a practical design, optimized for reproduction. A partnership between them, with roles shared to raise children, offers clear advantages. The female body, shaped to nurture life, draws men in—ripe breasts signal readiness for milk, a narrow waist suggests no pregnancy—but this isn’t about pleasure. It’s about creating life. Only by aligning with Reason, what I call the Spirit of Common Sense, can we see past raw instincts and grasp the true purpose of these relationships: men seeking mothers for their children, women seeking fathers, both preparing to be parents. Fidelity and righteousness become the only reasonable way to live. This requires a shift beyond animal instincts to the level of true homo sapiens, guided by Reason—the Holy Spirit of Common Sense. In such a world, a person’s value lies not in status or talent, but in the presence of a reasonable life within them. Our bodies are like vehicles, each unique, but the driver—the rational mind—is universal and equal. The key is to disable the autopilot of irrational impulses.
Society must reflect this commitment to common sense, starting with health, education, and economic foundations. Healthcare should prioritize preserving wellness over merely repairing damage. We need strength to treat injuries from sports or accidents and to fight infections, but chronic diseases—like those fueled by junk food and alcohol—should vanish. This means defining a proper diet, flexible enough to suit individual gut bacteria and regional food availability, yet firm in rejecting what poisons us.
Education must produce informed, capable citizens to shape our future, but change starts slowly. Parents and adults must first embrace Reason, preparing kids for a new kind of school while lawmakers reshape the system. With today’s technology, we can offer free online resources to all, leaving only the will to learn as the requirement—but those in power will cling to the status quo, resisting like agents of a fading order. Exams, tied to employers on technology’s front lines, ensure relevance; they set standards and demand subjects, with HR agents aligning education to real needs. Students pay only for exams and tests, with scholarships for the poor, fueling self-motivation. Schools should instill rational thinking, independence, and healthy habits, building a critical mass over time—parents, leaders, judges—who live this way. Economies thrive when they reward honest work over exploitation, creating a middle class of producers and organizers who drive progress while rejecting systems that coddle the lazy or the deceitful.
From there, law and order take root. The real enemies of society are psychopaths, sociopaths, and criminals who exploit others, legally or not. Laws and law enforcement should protect the honest, not enable the deceitful. We need a legal principle where common sense trumps technicalities, allowing anyone to appeal—free of charge—to adapt or rewrite laws on the spot to defend what’s reasonable. For instance, patent trolls and corrupt lawyers or judges shouldn’t be able to bankrupt startups or harass established firms by twisting existing rules. Those caught abusing the system, even if they’re in power, should face consequences. Laws exist to shield the righteous—those who produce, create, and organize, whether through manual labor or complex projects. Historically, these workers and innovators have been the most oppressed, yet they drive progress. Dictators can force labor, but they crush the initiative of talented organizers, leaving society stagnant.
In a future where parasites—those who exploit and destroy rather than build—are gone, laws could simplify into shared agreements. Until then, common sense must lead us toward harmony, health, and a world where Reason prevails.
