Misantropy: surviving humanity

In the misanthropic account, testosterone exists in nature to protect territory and offspring, with 95% of its function serving that purpose. Read on and decide whether the excuse holds up.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Testosterone does not drive mindless fornication: its main function is protecting territory and the female, and anyone who uses it as an excuse for the opposite departs from that pattern. Misanthropy holds that the human species has degenerated to the point of depending on luxuries that leave it unable to fend for itself.

There is a current of thought that regards the human species with distrust and even disgust. It is nothing new. What is striking is the argument it uses: the human being is an underdeveloped animal that has built an environment of comforts that weakens it. The recurring image is that of a healthy person forced to walk with a walker at all times. Take it away, and they panic. In any natural environment, that individual would not survive.

## The walker as a metaphor for degeneration

The underlying idea is that comfort is not pogre, but a prosthesis. Modern humans live surrounded by luxuries that distance them from their animal nature. That dependence makes them deficient. The text behind this reflection says it bluntly: in nature, such a being would be eliminated. Misanthropy offers no solutions; it merely states a fact it considers obvious. The species has placed its tools above its instincts.

## Testosterone and the male who makes excuses

Here the matter becomes more concrete. Testosterone exists in males with a mission: to protect the territory and the female, so that she can protect the offspring. According to the misanthropic account, **95%** of that function is devoted to that purpose and to competing with other males. There is nothing more. The problem arises when human males use that hormone to justify behaviour that has nothing to do with protection. Porn is the evidence cited. The excuse is always the same: testosterone compels. For the misanthrope, that is not testosterone, it is depravity. And such a male, in a natural environment, would have been eliminated by the fit males long ago.

## The devil as an explanation for the deviation

The text goes beyond biology. It speaks of a demonic species that has mocked God and placed itself above him. It is a theological claim, not a verifiable fact. Misanthropy, in this version, is not just a philosophical stance: it is a warning. If the human is the devil, precautions must be taken. That conclusion is not supported by evidence, but it explains why the author of the original message calls for caution and consequences. The union of man and woman, it says, has been perverted. Testosterone, which should unite, is used to divide.

## A real male needs no excuses

The reflection ends with a sharp distinction. The real male protects. The human male who hides behind the hormone to justify the unjustifiable is not a real male. He is a danger to females and to offspring. In nature, the fit males would have eliminated that filth. Misanthropy does not ask for compassion. It asks for consequences. And it makes clear that the species, as it stands, owes nothing to anyone.
