Preface maybe?

Who is wise? The person who can see what will be born. And these are Solomon's words, I paraphrase for your comfort. But what did he mean? Was he simply stating that wisdom is cause and effect applied in a future tense? Was he so wise that he could predict (at the very least) an uncertain future? Wisdom is the seeking after justifice applied to consequences.

The wisest possible thing to do after realizing the value of wisdom, is to ask about which area of  "justice applied" would be the most useful. What would lead to the biggest personal benefit from wisdom? And while there are certainly more interesting topics in the sense of "aesthetics" humanity is the correct answer. It might not appeal to you, but knowledge of human nature is most readily applied to any situation in life. Wisdom about other people is by far the most beneficial thing we can think about.

Wisdom to me is the mastery of understanding what current causes lead to certain future effects. I spent many years of my early life dedicated to thinking about people, human nature and everything that applies itself to the way human beings act and interact. So while thinking about human behavior, and all of the intricate values that define who someone is (at least in the sense of predicting behavior) comes quite naturally to me... This instinct
I have cultivated does not exist in any form other than my rational subconscious thought. This book will be a documentation of all processes that I define human nature by. I will do my very best to edit out the senseless ramblings that help me to depict my methods.

I can quite effectively predict human behavior based on these shared qualities of human nature. And while this knowledge benefits me on a daily basis, it also helps me to overcome my weaknesses. Because if they are understood by other people, my human nature can be used quite effectively against me. I remain vigilant against would be manipulators because I understand my nature.

Beyond the balance and counterbalance of human interaction, the study of human nature allows me to grasp much larger concepts. I can apply human nature to any realm of thought, (as any realm humanity applies itself to can be applied to the human condition) politics, business, religion,  in essence it allows you to predict the human herd mentality. The economy of the human soul is at your fingertips, this knowledge will empower you beyond your peers.

To some extent, with enough knowledge, the future is a manageable thing. And while there will always be those who are motivated to use this knowledge to gain power (I do not include myself among them), there is no one that I have yet to meet, who understands these principals at a more fundamental level than I do. Who better yet to explain these things? I have no pony in any races, while the people who are in control are highly invested in maintaining power over you.Knowledge is power, free yourself by gaining it.


maybe use this as part of the preface, maybe use it as notes and just expand the hell out of it.
