One common metaphor is that of the
turtle and the bunny. The bunny has faster legs; but the turtle
overtakes the bunny through consistent determined effort.
What does the bunny do when this
happens? In many cases, I have seen the bunnies copying the turtles.
We see women copying men. We see Asian, Hindu and black people
copying the white man. In many cases these people become successful.
And in many cases, we see them lose their best qualities.
We see this for example with the
Brazilian soccer team. For a long time they had the flair but not the
discipline. They would play scintillating soccer, but they would
lose. So then they had a coach who decided to get to the root of the
problem. Under him the Brazilians would play boring soccer, but they
would win. In the last World Cup they had neither the dicipline nor
the flair; and they played boring soccer and went down in flaming
defeat.
We have seen similar things with
feminist-minded women. They started to act like men. Many of them did
in fact become professionally successful; but they lost their best
qualities. I do not want to be with a man. If I wanted to be with a
man, I'd be gay. I want to be with a woman. And I have in fact been
with some amazing women, most of whom experienced attack from
feminists for being the way they were.
This process has lead to a widespread
use of the term “wolf in sheep's clothing.” A wolf in sheep's
clothing is a bad person who pretends to be a good person. In this
situation, the wolves have copied the sheep. They have learned to act
like the sheep in order to fool the sheep. We see salesmen pretending
to be nice people while wanting your money. We see players pretending
to be nice people in order to get you trapped in a bad situation.
Here, the wolves have learned from the sheep and have been using the
sheep facade to prey on the sheep.
Now there have been people portraying
me as a wolf in sheep's clothing; however I have proven by my
behavior again and again that I am no such thing. First of all I am
not interested in sheep. I like gazelles – artistic women. Secondly
I am not interested in preying on anyone. In my relationships I have
been giving, and even though my former wife is now with another man I
remain good to her. What we see here is stereotypes that are correct
for some people being used wrongfully. I am not a sheep and I am not
a wolf.
One thing that happens of course when
another species learn turtles' tricks is the turtles crying bloody
murder. We have many people howling for example about the Jews. They
are being accused of such things as being greedy. I consider it funny
when people who think that “money talks bullshit walks” or that
unless you are a multi-millionaire you're a loser claiming such
things. They are being accused of being brutal. I consider it funny
when people who think that unless you are strong and cruel you're a
coward saying such things. They are being accused of being
manipulative and dishonest. Once again, I consider it funny when
people whose ancestors have fooled much of the world and broke
numerous treaties saying such things. There were many brainy
idealistic types who worked very hard at being scientists and
teachers, only to see science get defunded, educational system get
gutted and people who were a part of these systems portrayed as
losers. So any number of them went into business or technology; and
the same people who claimed them to be losers are now howling that
they are taking over.
Should bunnies learn the ways of the
turtles? Yes. But they should not stop being bunnies in the process.
I do not want to see a world full of turtles. I like bunnies and any
number of other species. I want to see richness and variety of life.
So by all means learn the ways of the turtles. But do not stop in the
process being what you are.
