Autonomism: Ideology of Self-Reliance for Survival and Perfection

Historical and Philosophical Foundations

Autonomism, a system of self-governance and skepticism toward reliance on others, rests on a deep philosophical heritage addressing human fallibility. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), a transcendentalist, laid a cornerstone in "Self-Reliance" (1841), arguing that individual intuition surpasses flawed societal norms, warning against conformity’s potential for error.

Diogenes the Cynic (412–323 BCE), a Greek philosopher, lived this principle, dwelling alone in a barrel to reject dependence on others’ unreliable or self-interested ways. Pyrrho (c. 360–270 BCE), founder of Skepticism, pushed doubt of external claims, urging self-verification to avoid mistakes born of others’ ignorance.

Zeno of Citium (c. 334–262 BCE), the Stoic founder, taught self-control and reason, emphasizing mastery of one’s own actions to sidestep external folly. John Locke (1632–1704), an Enlightenment thinker, shaped individualism, tying liberty to self-responsibility and caution toward collective or authoritative errors.
Additional Historical Influences

Further roots enrich Autonomism. Epictetus (50–135 CE), a Stoic, stressed controlling only what lies within one’s power—thoughts, actions—ignoring others’ chaotic flaws. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778), in "Discourse on Inequality" (1755), critiqued society’s corruption, implying a return to self-sufficient natural living to escape human malice.

Scientifically, early human practices (c. 10,000 BCE) show hunter-gatherers mastering solo skills—tool-making, hunting—to survive without aid, a precursor to self-reliance. Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), in "Leviathan" (1651), saw humans as naturally selfish, justifying wariness of others’ motives in Autonomism’s framework.

Etymology and Core Concept

The term Autonomism blends Greek “autos” (self) and “nomos” (law), forming a doctrine of self-rule. It arises to counter human stupidity—unintentional error—and malice—deliberate harm—positioning the individual as the sole reliable agent of their fate.

Applications in Contemporary Context

Autonomism thrives as a guide for survival and perfection in today’s unstable world. Global disruptions—supply chain breakdowns, misinformation, economic shifts—highlight the risks of trusting others’ competence or intent.

For survival, Autonomists act alone: they grow crops to defeat food scarcity, build shelters to bypass shoddy help, and verify data to foil lies. This shields them from floods, power outages, or deceitful schemes, ensuring they endure independently.

Pursuit of Perfection

In the art of perfection, Autonomism fuels a solo quest for excellence. Practitioners craft flawless works—a sturdy, precise table; a razor-sharp logical argument—free from others’ sloppy or malicious interference. This disciplined mastery transforms skills into an art, untainted by external limits.

Symbolism and Guiding Principle

A lone mountain peak stands as Autonomism’s symbol, reflecting strength, solitude, and unwavering stability. The motto “Solus Rego, Solus Sto” (Latin: “I Rule Alone, I Stand Alone”) drives adherents to govern and sustain themselves.

Challenges and Strengths

Challenges persist: total self-reliance strains against modern systems—advanced technology, global trade—where interdependence often rules. Skepticism of others risks isolation, missing rare benefits of collaboration. Yet, Autonomism’s strength lies in empowering survival and mastery, liberating individuals from human error or betrayal.

Digynia Exception Act

In exceptional circumstances, a man may enter a digynous marriage, defined as a union with exactly two wives, under the following conditions:

If the first wife is medically confirmed infertile and both the husband and first wife provide explicit, documented, mutual consent to the addition of a second wife; or

If twin sisters both willingly provide documented consent, along with the man, to enter the marriage together.

The total number of wives is strictly limited to two, and all parties must provide voluntary, written consent prior to the union.

Why It’s Common Sense: Physiological and Psychological Human Needs

For mentally sane individuals, the human brain typically seeks monogamy because love activates neural pathways tied to exclusivity, bonding, and stability. However, in these two exceptional cases, digynia aligns with scientific principles of brain function and mental health:

First Scenario: Infertility of First Wife

Physiological Needs (Brain and Body): The brain’s reproductive drive is wired by evolution, with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland regulating hormones (e.g., testosterone, oxytocin) to urge procreation.

If the first wife is infertile (10-15% of couples, WHO, 2023), adding a second wife, with consent, allows the man to fulfill this biological need. The brain’s reward system (dopamine release) reinforces mating behavior, supporting this outcome.

Psychological Needs (Mental Health): Love triggers oxytocin and dopamine in the brain, fostering attachment and emotional security, per neuroscience studies (Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2015). For sane individuals, ending a loving bond via divorce risks stress, activating the amygdala and raising cortisol, linked to anxiety and depression (Journal of Neuropsychiatry, 2000). Digynia, with mutual consent, preserves this bond, meeting the brain’s need for stability and companionship while addressing reproduction.

Second Scenario: Twin Sisters

Physiological Needs (Brain and Body): Physical attraction is rooted in the brain’s visual cortex and limbic system, responding to cues like symmetry and health (Buss, Evolutionary Psychology, 1994). Twin sisters, especially identical ones (100% DNA shared), have near-identical traits, naturally triggering similar attraction in a man’s brain. Twins’ similar genetics may also align their mate preferences, activating similar neural reward patterns (dopamine) for the same man.

Psychological Needs (Mental Health): The brain craves connection, with the prefrontal cortex and oxytocin supporting bonding and trust. Twins often share a unique emotional link, showing elevated empathy and cooperation (Journal of Personality, 2002). For sane individuals, if both sisters and the man consent, digynia leverages this bond, fulfilling the brain’s need for love and unity in a stable, cooperative unit.

Why Only Two Wives?

Physiological Capacity (Brain and Body): The brain’s resources—attention, energy—are finite. The stress response (cortisol, amygdala activation) increases with excessive demands, per neuroscience research (Stress, 2010). Two wives allow the man to meet reproductive and physical needs without overloading neural capacity, keeping stress manageable.

Psychological Capacity (Mental Health): Sane mental health relies on balanced emotional bonds. The brain’s prefrontal cortex manages relationships, but too many partners trigger jealousy or stress, raising cortisol and harming well-being (Journal of Family Psychology, 2005). Digynia, with consent, aligns with the brain’s capacity for love and attention, supporting stability for all.

Natural Attraction in Twin Scenario:

Man’s Feelings for Both Twins: It’s natural for a man’s brain to feel attraction to both twin sisters. The visual cortex and limbic system respond to similar physical traits—face, body—in twins, especially identical ones (100% DNA), sparking attraction (Buss & Shackelford, 1997). Psychologically, the brain’s mirror neurons and shared experiences mean similar personalities in twins can trigger parallel feelings of love, a natural neural response (Developmental Psychology, 1998).

Twin Sisters Liking the Same Man: It’s natural for twin sisters to like the same man. Their brains, shaped by similar genetics (100% for identical, 50% for fraternal) and upbringing, align preferences—e.g., valuing kindness, strength—via similar neural patterns in the reward system (dopamine, Journal of Personality, 2002). This makes mutual attraction to one man a logical, brain-based outcome.

Breaking news: USAID hired autistic incels to shitspam free speech forums. If you were baffled why so many accounts keep shitspamming 24/7, they are real autistic incels. USAID hired them since anybody mentally sane would be sick and tired of mindlessly shitspamming all night and day long.

This is linked to Microsoft. After they started hiring autistic incels, their software turned to be real junk. Way worse than it was in the beginning.
