544. My Fantasy Of The Golden Age Of Neuroscience
The last half century has been the age of great electronic and technological progress. This enabled the ubiquity of the impact of media bringing along also the collateral damage of invisible, subtle and unrecognized emotional harm to many people. The media have enhanced the already innately detrimental effect of the obsolete male instinctive urges even more in the wrong direction, as oversexation and promiscuity have been made a social norm.
Men's instinctive tendency to the asymmetrical attitude towards women (entry 543) has been implicitly and subtly reinforced as a consequence of this unfortunate social norm.

This is generally overlooked, ignored and denied, and society pays a high price for this. Women suffer directly and more knowingly from commodification and objectification forced upon them. Men are deprived of the higher emotional benefits of bonded monogamous commitment, but they are usually oblivious of this, because the deprivation is hidden behind the superficial immediate satisfaction available by the abuse of female bodies. They are not even aware of what they are depriving themselves of, as they never had a chance to experience anything better due to being exposed to the oversexation too early during childhood.
Regularly reading newsletters informing about really amazing results of research in neuroscience has led me to wonder, whether we may now be at the onset of the age of neuroscience. It even has the potential to become the golden age for women, would neuroscience achieve the very significant goal of removing the slippery slope of the ongoing reinforcement of the worst male behaviors and attitudes.
While women's mere complaints about suffering from commodification and asymmetrical attitudes (entry 543) are dismissed by men as female shortcomings, the growing evidence of effects observed by brain imaging methods is more difficult to disregard. Hard and multiple evidence could finally have an impact upon men's persistent denial, how their own instincts are a real problem requiring to be dealt with.
If this insight would be widely accepted, then this could lead to the application of medical science and neuroscience to develop methods to reduce men's needs for sexual homeostasis down to a beneficial level, where is seizes to damage women. While the body of unattached females would no longer trigger any urges for abuse in men, they would instead always be attracted first to a woman's mind and personality, before they are attracted to her body.
It would certainly be easy to create some pills, which combine the bonding of oxytocin and a reduction of libido or even some appliance for brain stimulation for this purpose. A bonding helmet for men similar to Persinger's helmet would be a great invention.
What a dream: A helmet stimulating a man's brain, and even the worst jerk would become a caring, responsible, bonding, monogamous nice guy, feeling a need for commitment. This would give women the option to reject any man, who refuses to use this helmet. A helmet could thus free humanity from the scourge of male promiscuity.
But I am taking my fantasy even one step further to mere science fiction. If it were not just a helmet, which a man can decide to use or not, but if it were a chip to be planted in every man's brain, this could really create a paradise on earth:
There would only be nice and decent men never hurting a woman. No more rape, no more adultery, no more using and dumping, no more predators making women miserable by the degradation of pursuing them as prey. No more prostitution, no more pornography, A woman would be safe to chose, where she wants to be at any time of the day or night without risking to be attacked.
All the above are far fetched and unrealistic dreams, as long as men generally do not have any insight, how much their excessive sexuality does not enhance but destroy the emotional quality of life, which is a potential of human cognition but only when it is unrestricted and undistorted by instincts. The obstacle are all those men lacking any comprehension of the benefits for themselves of any method resulting in the replacement of the primitivity of their being animals with true humane happiness.

Men's choice to either allow themselves to be controlled by their instincts or to control the instincts are rarely ever motivated by consideration of women's dignity or by the rational question of equality or by doubting the justification of asymmetrical attitudes (entry 543).
Throughout history and up to now, sometimes men have and still do fight against their instinctive urges for sexual homeostation, but the reason is always religious or philosophical and not any consideration for women. They focus upon their success or failure concerning their self-control as a part of their self-esteem and self-worth. They do not reject instinctive urges as a distortion of men's cognition concerning the attitude towards women, they do not value the avoidance of damage to women. Sparing women is not their goal, it is only a lucky collateral benefit.
The catholic priest, who succeeds in keeping his hands off his house keeper does not do this by respect and consideration for the woman. He does this by fear of punishment in the afterlife and as a prevention of feeling a failure and looser due to his vows of celibacy.
