Consciousness versus nature
To control nature, you must first understand nature. To understand nature, you have to use reason as a cognitive function (logic [congruence within a context] + concept formation) + focus oneself on goal oriented survival.
Understanding the nature of interaction with nature.
[same as animals and children]
With women, it requires communication skills and having a principled understanding of emotions (nature’s cognitive process).
Functions of the cognition found in nature:
Using emotions as an automatic guide to action
Nature intends that your values are derived innately from your biology. Nature wants you to be a follower, and upon the tribe’s approval, rise through the hierarchy to become more of a leader of followers.
Your interactions must be self-serving. That principle sounds horrible; it has a negative connotation attached to it. People often complain that someone they don’t like is self-serving. Selfishness as a trait gets a bad reputation everywhere, especially from parasitic people. Why? Because if everyone was both selfish and rational, parasites couldn’t survive as parasites. Parasites exist in both high and low places, but they don’t want you to be selfish; that would ruin their game.
Volitional consciousness is the effective ingredient in making ethics contextual. In laymen terms, taking control of yourself is the only way you can effectively practice your own set of values that are different from whatever nature had planned for you. If you want to be happy, you have to control nature. The effort is necessary.

- Complete belief in something without the trust being earned (faith).
- Remaining unfocused.
