Cui Bono?
Who really wants to love the world?
In most religious traditions, the world has a pejorative
connotation, often invoking archetypes of rich men basking in wealth,
powerful people who wish to remain in power, seeking various elixirs
of life and dying in the process.
Pain
Deconstructing the desire for wealth and power, the Buddhists would
say the cessation of desire is the end of suffering. Yet the world is
run by those who according to them, would be suffering the most. One
has to imagine that Alex Karp is happy, profiting from destroying any
semblance of privacy for the rest of us.
Almost anyone in a position of real power has had to commit
transgressions against humanity, the total silence of God is
deafening. Being fearless of judgment in reality, will they suddenly
change if they had to face God? Under the tradition of blood sacrifice
in the Old Testament, if they can scapegoat others for their
transgressions, they will not just be one with God, they will usurp
him.
A case could be made that Alex Karp himself is a divinicidal
accelerationist.
Struggling in a cruel world
Perhaps Philipp Mainländer had the most lucid philosophy on life, that
it is the continual resistance against death. We resist death out of
instinct, but know that at some point, one has to accept. All life
must consume other life in order to continue to live, and in my
opinion, no amount of veganism makes this any less immoral.
In most societies, there is an expectation of reciprocity, "he who
does not work, neither shall he eat" while simultaneously their
governments provide handouts to the poor. It's not out of the
benevolence of their hearts that they provide gibsmedats, but
rather the creation of dependence, and bolstering their own
legitimacy. Even organizations deemed as cartels and terrorists will
provide food, water and shelter to justify their right to rule.
Is we gettin' food stamps?
There is the implicit expectation that one has to be a productive
economic unit for the country in which they reside, in exchange for
protection from what they will do to you if you don't pay taxes. It
was never a fair and equitable system, but they will keep gaslighting
you with divine mandates, scientism, rules-based orders, and other
psychological operations.
The bottom keeps falling out for the poor around the world, as it is
harder to even afford food and rent, while owning a home is next to
impossible. Global wealth inequality keeps increasing as the threshold
of what is economically viable labor rises. Having children used to be
an economic benefit to the parents, now the financial burden is just
another reason why people are having less children, with economic
slavery as one of most commonly cited reasons.
Technologies of control
The desire for freedom is difficult to define, with some claiming that
freedom is not what we want. The world as it stands today is far less
free than it was even a century ago, and I think technology is to
blame.
[Ted Kaczynski / F.C. grins from beyond the grave.]
Remember that the Internet was created as a military communication
network that could survive nuclear war; it was never intended for
commercial or public use, or to benefit humanity in any way. Nearly
everyone has government surveillance devices on their persons
(smartphones), communicating with servers that they control, through
undersea infrastructure that is defended by militaries.
The speed and all encompassing variety of which information may flow,
previously bounded by printed media, has not made us more free, only
more susceptible to psychological operations. This text at sample
velocity, as theorized by Kodwo Eshun, in which the past is constantly
recontextualized in the present, has distorted our relation to truth.
When the regime wants you to discard previous propaganda in favor of
current propaganda, you have no choice but to comply.
With AI generated content, it's even more difficult to discern the
truth, as these systems are inherently prone to gaslighting. The
psychologically vulnerable are prone to AI psychosis, as the
boundaries between the real world and the matrices fade. Algorithms
making life or death decisions was always an inevitability.
The desire for utopia creates dystopia
Few people see themselves as evil, wanting to cause more suffering in
the world. The benefit of doubt is often granted for good intentions.
Almost no one has the honesty to acknowledge Thanatos, the
death drive, subconsciously driving their decisions.
Driving on the wrong side of the road is safe and harmless
fun.
Unless one has completely abandoned humanity, the simple
acknowledgment of one's own enemies possessing both good and evil
traits must be begrudgingly accepted. The desire for more material
equality, can be achieved with less evil methods than forcible
redistribution by men with guns. The desire for security can be met
without violence, but often necessitates the means to cause
ultra-violence.
The left causes unchecked mass migration, the right presents the
solution of mass deportation. Government creates the problem for which
itself is the solution, and few are able to see the Hegelian dialectic
for what it is. The problem extends to most other issues, it creates
the tyranny for which violence is the solution.
Many people who want to be revolutionaries for their preferred utopia
don't understand that they may be part of a state-sponsored color
revolution. These useful idiots think that somehow they will be in
charge, but are often the first to be disposed of. The three-letter
agencies of the شيطان بزرگ have a
nearly limitless supply of these losers which their society has
created.
