I have been "challenged' by Cito de Pense to paint a picture of the human condition, this is something that arose from a discussion in a topic on men being part of a rape culture, and I criticised the author of original article and is limited vision of the topic and inability to see the bigger picture.

I will start by defining what I understand to be the objectives of what I will do, as if there is no concensus on what its about, we are unlikely to get agreement on subordinate details.

I believe that it is possible, in principle, to reduce all human behavior to a single factor, and those details are all ultimately subject to an underlying cause which can be reduced to a deeper level and ultimately to a single factor that is not dependent upon any subsequent effects. This means that I subscribe to the idea of hierarchial cause and effect stacks, and while that does not rule out cross-linking between subordinate effects, ultimately a single cause will bring into existence the entire causation stack.
