My work published on this site has been written over several decades. The texts on Kreutz Ideology were not conceptualized as chapters of a book. They are articles written in the style of columnists. Each article is structured as a piece in itself and can be read as a stand-alone opinionated text.
My ideas have evolved, and certainly, there are logical and ideological discrepancies between what I have written recently and what I wrote much earlier.
However, on some important matters, I have never changed my mind since, as a teenager, I formed my own first philosophical and political thoughts.
I have never been religious.
I have always considered sexual satisfaction the logical primary value in life: in my own life, the lives of other men, and the lives of women.
I have never had a high opinion of anti-sexual morals.
I have always considered philosophical materialism, rather than philosophical idealism, as the correct view of the world. In this respect (but not in many others), I have always been a Marxist.
In spite of always having been a philosophical materialist, and in spite of having been captivated by Marx's analysis in the preface of his Critique of Political Economy, I am not, and never was, a socialist or communist. The fact is: I am not, and never was, an illusionist.
Now, as for those aspects on which I have changed my opinion, sometimes back and forth, over the past few years.
I previously considered myself a nihilist because I could not find any value in any of the standard moral theories (religions, political idealism) and had no interest in the world after my death.
But I never really was a genuine nihilist because I always did believe in one value in life: optimal sexual experience, for me and whoever my female partner might be, and strictly during our lifetimes. I do not care much for the optimal sexual experience of humans after my lifetime. They will have to tackle that problem themselves.
I had some phases in my life (actually, not long ago) during which I concerned myself with ideas of how I could participate in a movement aimed at making the world a sexually better place.
But my involvement in attempts to create sexually better societies has only ever consisted of writing articles. I am not drawn toward doing political work because I have a hard time feeling solidarity with other men.
While I have the same interests as other men, I also perceive them as my competitors (or natural enemies). Thus, I do not have many personal male friends.
I do want to formulate a consistent ideology for a world in which optimal sexual experience, followed by a comfortable death, is recognized as a guiding principle. I cannot do this in one sitting.
Kreutz Ideology is a collection of pieces that have been written over more than 30 years. My basic ideas haven’t changed, so it is fitting to publish them as a single book. On the other hand, articles written more than 20 years ago represent not only my thoughts but also reflect the modes by which I produced the economic framework of my existence. I re-read my work and eliminate references to my specific economic conditions, as they are of no relevance to the Kreutz Ideology.
Kreutz Ideology, of course, does relate to modes of production. But not to my modes of production of the day. Kreutz Ideology relates to the modes of production of many people similar to me, and for those, including me, Kreutz Ideology is an adequate intellectual superstructure. It is in accordance with the current zeitgeist.
Reviewing my work, I sometimes focus on one portion, and at other times on another portion of my ideology. As I go along, I often discover discrepancies due to the fact that the pieces assembled here have been extracted from various editions published over several decades. The fact that some of the retrieved pieces were not even originally written by me further complicates the situation. I try my best to sort them out and resolve discrepancies as I work along. The final version will ultimately depend on when I die.
