I'm very interested in power.

This is more heretical than it sounds.

I don't subscribe to the notion that my genetic expression determines anything related to my ability to acquire some thing another man with superior genetics possesses, or is capable of acquiring.

I believe I'm more critical of the idea that some external circumstance, such as my height, weight, or ethnic and economic history, are predictors of my future success. I'd consider that the opposite of power.

I reject the impoverished belief that power, as I've witnessed it, is dispositional and not psychological. Certainly, dispositionally powerless people are the only ones capable of displacing present powers.

It's for this reason I'd say power is more psychological than physical in human exhibition, and that powerlessness is an opportunity to express one's genetic potential.

A powerlessness I can explain is a power I can exploit. I don't need to be the biggest or the smartest to conquer the biggest or the smartest. This is a key point of how I understand the phenomenon.

The powerless, psychologically or dispositionally, preoccupy themselves with the abuses of power. This is chiefly what makes them feel, remain, powerless.

The powerful, conversely, are invested in the harnessing of power. This is how they feel, become, and remain, powerful. Both are states of mind that regulate and dictate behaviors.

So far as power might be genetically conserved, I may attenuate any unknown deficiency with an overriding initializer, such as high intensity interval exercise, a nutrient-dense diet, internal medicine, a bone graft, cosmetic surgery, space exploration and discovery, any superior technique found wanting or missing in my genetics.

These techniques are the information-rich, and replicating, ideas of my culture.

This is a critical point.

My culture is not my ethnic or economic history. I recognize my people when I recognize my ideas in them. My culture is a curious and open group of people, who excel at discovering and mobilizing superior techniques.

My people are minds.

The minds are preoccupied with harnessing power and by consequence they're powerful people. It's the only consistent trait I've observed.

None of them were born into power. Their ethnic and economic histories gave them nothing of importance they presently possess. They're powerful because of how they think. This is the most important thing I, myself, presently possess.

Power is not given or earned. It's taken. And I can take power.
