FIRST PRINCIPLE: KNOW YOUR APE—or your Ape will know you.

We refuse the lies, evasions, fear-mongering, hate — and all self-deceptions.
For thousands of years, priests, philosophers, and politicians have sold us illusions. They told us we were children of heaven, rational agents, bearers of eternal souls. They told us civilization had lifted us above the beasts. They told us to look away from our hungers, our lusts, our violence. And they told us to be ashamed when the truth of our bodies—and minds—often betrayed those illusions.

We speak the truth — based on brutal honesty and rigorous analytical method.
We are apes: brilliant---and cunning, and violent. We are predators with swollen brains. The record of human history is not only progress, and certainly not redemption, but a narrative of domination: rape, cannibalism, conquest, mass enslavement, human sacrifice, and genocide. Civilization and its comforts is no permanent triumph, but a fragile skein stretched over the Inner Ape. When it ruptures or fails, the Fiend steps out — again and again, across time. Dahmer, Bundy, and their kin are not outliers, not aberrations. They are the baseline. The human default. You are the outlier, if you manage to live a life of kindness, truth, and restraint.

We strip away illusions.
The lies of philosophy and religion are not harmless stories. They are cages that blind us to what we are. To imagine man as angel, as disembodied soul, as citizen of some heavenly kingdom, is to live in hallucination. We declare the hallucination over. We demand a philosophy that begins not in denial but in reality: with the ape in the mirror, with the lust in the body---and with the violence in our history.

We embrace the flame.
To face this darkness is not despair. It is liberation. In the fiery truth of our primate nature lies the only hope of renewal. To turn toward shame, toward filth, toward the forbidden zones of the erotic, is to turn toward truth. Where religion saw pollution, we see revelation. Where the pious muttered about sin, we see the engine of life: lust, hunger, dominance, submission. The Hot Philosophy does not avert its gaze. It stares directly at the obscene, and finds in it a mirror of what we are.

We embrace Eros.
Eros is not a distraction, not a plaything, not a moral failing. It is the deepest code of our species. In sex we discover our violence, our tenderness, our hunger for fusion. In transgression we discover our terror and our ecstasy. In Hot Praxis — the field-laboratory of the Hot Philosophy — we confront the erotic without filters, without censorship, without illusions. This is not pornography for distraction. It is philosophy in the flesh: the body turned into text, the act turned into theory.

We call for renewal.
The firmware of humanity is failing. The skeins of civilization, fragile threads, fray around us. The threats are real: nuclear fire, ecological collapse, rogue AI, collapsing codes of meaning. To survive the end of this time, we must rewrite ourselves. Not with platitudes. Not with fantasies. With a radical philosophy — radical to the root. The Hot Philosophy is not an academic diversion. It is survival. But it is no easy trail. It is a Firepath, with flaming chasms on either side of the way. It is the only code that begins where the others refuse: with the body; with the ape—with the lust that cannot be denied, without deadly lies.

We summon you.
This is not analysis for its own sake. It is not merely a book to be read and set aside. It is a call. Speak. Write. Share your reflections. Live without illusions. Look at the truth of our species and do not look away. We must reform our comprehension, rewrite our software, rethink childhood education. The clock is ticking on the human race. We may destroy ourselves—or we may finally learn to tell the truth about who we are—only then may we hope to survive in the long term.

Do not wait for permission. Begin now. We summon you. Even the apes show empathy. We can too. But time is short. Nuclear near-accidents have already happened, and more than once. We offer you this choice. Stay with the hallucination, the comforting lie, the thin veil of doomed and ignorant pseudo-civility. Or join the movement that refuses the veil, and seeks a humanity transformed, through a higher-order understanding of our nature and cosmic mission: to grow up now—and seek the stars. Join the Hot Philosophy. Take the Firepath. Confront the truth. Love at the end of time.
