In Brave New World, a social experiment was described, where an island was populated only with highly intelligent people. Within a short time, they all started bashing each others' brains in because everyone wanted to be the intellectual on the throne, i.e. no one wanted to do the dirty work, but make the others do it.
So: doing your own chores is important in two ways: it diffuses some domination urges through discipline, and it keeps one closer to reality through physical contact. Doing manual labor is also a way to balance the mind and body, so that we do not unbalance in a dangerous way, and to SERVE OTHER people, so that we can all SERVE EACH OTHER.
It isn't coincidence that those who do not do their own dirty work correlate with the stratum of a society that makes real lives of others miserable by "producing" Ideals from ivory towers, all the while making sure they never face the real consequences of their abstract non-existent Ideals.
To not do one's own chores = to have no discipline of staying close to reality = to lose one's bearings and become lost in a sea of Ideas, not being able to see what is constructive and what destructive, that is, what is good and what evil.
By doing our own dirty work, we take burdens onto ourselves, and do not put burdens onto others. This works in synergy with the ultimate realism of empathy (yes, an emotion), which makes every being feel the joy and pain of every other being, that is, the reality of every other being. That is why realism must rule: to reach true harmony by solving cognitive discord. It begins with simple things, because everything needs a BASIS. Without the basis of individual discipline and responsibility there can be nothing long-term for the group. Idealism is the opposite: setting the individual subjective above the objective good of the group.

Dangerous Collective Fictions
Idealism.
There is only one reality, and one truth. It may be very hard to know, but it IS, and it is ONE. Because reality is vast, or maybe even infinite, there is a great urge to cling to some idea, some saving angel of simplification, some universalism that can point to what must be done in order to make sense of it all. And in that darkness of uncertainty the voices of those that seek only power whisper to us: believe in this, and go to sleep. And then Idealism sprouts, placing ideas and words ABOVE REALITY, and demanding that the little truths of reality must be suppressed, molded and "spun" to fit the Ideal. The moment a society accepts that it is already dead, although it may go on for a time with much of the appearance of progress. Only truth (= reality) can, and will, set you free. True freedom goes hand in hand with knowing truth, and acting on the basis of reality. Idealism is for the suckers who enable domination tactics.
Infinite many evils that have varying outer forms begin with an innocent-sounding Ideal.
Such as...
Equality.
There is, and never has been, such a thing as "equality". All men always look for the best-looking, fertile women. All women always seek powerful, charismatic men. All companies always look for the best employees. All employees always seek the best business for their career. All armies always look for the best disciplined subordinates. All intelligence agencies always look for the most skilled and balanced individuals.
NOTHING is equal in reality. Nothing and no one is ever equal to any thing else. Equality cannot exist. The only equality than can be achieved between two things is the complete destruction of both of them.
Hell is full of egalitarian Idealists running away from cannibal rapist hordes of "equals".
Tolerance.
Toleration is only of evil things, or things one severely dislikes. To fight against pain with exercise and medication is to be INTOLERANT to it. To struggle against poverty with labor, discipline and education is to be INTOLERANT to it. To battle powerlessness with networking, mind weaponization and realism is to be INTOLERANT of it.
Those who promote "tolerance" are ALWAYS INtolerant of any opinion, instinct, organization, symbol, or belief system that deviates even one nanometer from their intolerant Ideal. Tolerance is a euphemism for perversion, immorality, brainwashing, disrespect of the normal majority. That is why it can never last long, because the anti-society elements it lets exist undermine the society that enforces "tolerance" against the instincts of its normal citizens. Everyone deserves what they tolerate.
Imagine if surgeons would work the way Idealist social engineers work.
Patient: Au! My tumor really hurts!
Realist doctor: We have to operate, please come into the surgical...
Idealist doctor: No, no, no, you are being biologist!!! All life forms are equal. The solution to your "problem" is to not talk about it. You WILL refrain from mentioning other life forms in terms of the "t" word, "infestation" and such VILE TERMS, and you WILL tolerate, or else you will be thrown out of the hospital.
Patient: You mean I can then go to another hospital?
Idealist doctor: These rules now apply to all hospitals, retroactively.
Patient: Oh. Au.
Realist doctor: Hey "doc", didn't you have a very real operation on YOUR tumor last year?

Beyond Isms
Idealist: I'm OFFENDED by aspect bla bla of reality
Realist: If reality offends you than that says a lot about you ;)
Idealist: I'm offended!!!!
There are different kinds of calm. There is the bliss of ignorance, when all one experiences is one's immediate surroundings. There is also the serenity we reach by understanding the cosmic mechanics of biological-historical cycles. How the upwards path of evolution and the destructive rebellion against nature cannot be changed.
This calm is achieved after the rage at destructiveness, injustice, and abuse has been gone through. When one understands that the destroyers of civilization do what they do because of genetics one stops trying to put the lightning of individual free will in a bottle, and switches to group "weather control". As clearly as a mechanic sees engine parts one begins to see in human group interactions the parameters of nature and consciousness. And what is better in the long run becomes obvious.
Realism is reaching this higher level. One no longer needs the crutches of Idealisms to simplify the world. One can cease having arguments that waste mental energy, and start real change in the material world and our understanding of it. One can start becoming the real nobility of serving that which is highest whether it is within or outside you.
This transcendence is infinitely more worth than attempting to engage Idealists in discussion. Idealists are always trying to change the subject, attack the messenger, base everything on faulty premises, and even presenting gems such as "I don't want to talk about it". Of course they don't. Idealist methods of dealing with reality amount to always trying to bottle lightning. This frustrates them, as they never reach their goal of a better world through Ideals such as "equality". Such unrealistic demands always destroy society and civilization, yet Idealists never see clearly what is going on.
Those who are caught up in "isms" never have the calm and vision required to see the vast patterns of nature. Once one sees the patterns, ADMITS the patterns to oneself, one is granted a sort of super-human vision into all kinds of past situations, and can even predict future ones. To Idealists this seems like magic. It is just statistics. But unfiltered analysis of facts, just pure and simple looking at facts and AFTERWARDS drawing up a system is too boring for Idealists. They prefer concocting some glorious, artificial IDEAL theory in the ivory tower of their fevered minds, and then FORCING reality to adhere to it. And then rage at reality when it of course does not fit.
So, if you want real calm, deconstruct the mind-parasites such as "equality", and search for the raw facts of the world. Be your own teacher. Do not follow Idealist demagogues who demand that you and everyone believe in this Ideal up there somewhere, but then ask that you give them money and power, and demand that you never look at any other source of information (not very calm of them).
We are going to need solid and calm thinkers and doers to rebuild everything after Idealists destroy this civilization with their rage against nature's blessings. And we are going to build a much better civilization, one that will have PERMANENT ANTI-BODIES to defend against Idealist parasitism. These counter-measures are not going to be sophisticated. They are going to be very simple: any and all who comes up with some Ideal is going to be forced to undergo the REAL, NETT EFFECTS of that Ideal. Like having to live as an individual among the "noble" savages they think are our equals. Problem solved.

First Things First
Basic emotions first, rational thought second.
Human nature is such that we base everything upon our basic emotions. This is very useful in a primitive natural environment, where something that tastes bad is unhealthy, where a growling beast activates our base aggressive instincts, and a happy wife and baby makes us feel at peace and successful.
In a complex, global civilization, things are a bit different. Our feelings are often times not our own, but the implanted artificial conditioned reflexes that make us atomized individuals who will obey, work and not ask the right questions.
We are blocked from higher rationale, and most remain slaves to implanted feelings. It is not possible to reach any sizable percentage of such sheeple by facts and logic alone. They will simply not listen, or even if they listen, the situation will be like oil and water.
Even if the system did not brainwash everyone they could, the method of awakening is still emotions first, rational though second. Almost no one on the planet is a blank slate with a true thirst for truth, gathering up an array of different views, studying all of them from a neutral viewpoint, and then picking the most true one. Everyone starts off from some set of basic emotions, and THEN FINDS THE RATIONALE THAT JUSTIFIES THEM.
Naturally hedonist people will never adhere to traditional working class wisdom. Charismatic personalities will never feel content with mass (media) democracy. Subversive, parasitical individuals will never feel at peace accepting what a healthy society has to offer and do their part.
So the question arises, how ARE people to be awakened to realism by emotion. There is not one simple answer. The method is through full-spectrum reaching out. Every mode of conveying emotion is useful, because it reaches certain individuals with certain basic emotions.
Some listen to messages of glory, honor, bravery. They will adapt their views and logic to adhere to that which can broadcast its alpha-status in the greatest way.
Some are emotionally bound to messages of compassion, of togetherness, of social approval, charity and wholeness. They will always choose the social average as against elite excellence.
The medium is the message. One can bombard the masses with condensed memes, aiming for the "hundreth monkey" effect. One can write long, complex analysis papers that will only be read by the intellectual elite, and change only the neural networks of those who can affect true change. Or one can implement policies that forces everyone to live out the choices they think are theirs, and learn the error of their ways the hard way.
Whatever path is chosen, always it is useful for the cause of realism to minimize noise. Clear minds can go much further than those burdened with the mundane, those that put apparent social approval before asking the right questions, and those addicted and high on Ideals.
With effort and strategy the proper emotions can be addressed, and in time almost everyone will awaken to realism. Awaken to the reality of group rights and group responsibilities, the impossibility and undesirability of basing everything is society on "equality", on the necessity of eugenetics, and the possible future that lies in wait for a humanity that lives long lives, learns everything that is to learn, and breaks out of the historical cycles that have buried countless civilizations under the soil we walk on.
