Winners don't win every time but they do win in the end

1. The world has always been tipping itself into shit (that is the way of the world, politically speaking) and we are at the brink with global warming. Look at how Japan has been clobbered and continues to be clobbered -- the 2nd most proficient industrialised nation on Earth. Nonetheless, there remain all sorts of natural liabilities that accrue for believing in lies, as well as liabilities for being a fighter against bullshit. In the end, the liars must succumb, as has been the case (in general, although not in every specific instance) throughout history.

2. The sense of "win" is in the sense of the contradictions within particular ideologies becoming self evident, more or less through a process of attrition over time. For instance, one cannot maintain a position of male superiority whilst being afraid of "emotion". That contradiction will weaken you and eventually, over a long period of time, grind you down.

3. On Western dichotomies:  Achieving greater emotional integration with the mind and body will tend to make one much more efficient without having to strive so much to get where one is going. It will simply happen by instinct.
