RE: Birth, life, death: The fate of all things.

in #steem6 years ago

It is quite remarkable, the modern West's obsession with scientism and its blind zealotry in imagining that all of man's problems will be solved with the next shiny bauble. The collective sum of human experience reaching back to the dawn of human consciousness reveals only one fact: men have killed and enslaved men; each novel technical advancement brings only new places and way for men to die and serve. The future is but a repeat of men's collective tendencies on a different scale. Nihil novo sub sole.

The idea that inanimate tools, created by men, will somehow solve problems created by men's thoughts, tendencies, and failures is the essence of blind faith and hubris combined. If history illustrates anything, those proficient at use of tools become dependent upon them, ultimately weakening them to life in the absence of the said tools. The absence of a thing is just as significant as the presence: absence of oxygen, absence of money, absence of information, absence of that to which we are addicted. Can utopia become reality for those for whom use of power is as foreign as self-control? The interminable examples of the misery the muck benighted by lottery or favors illustrate the folly of pining for utopia birthed from the next technical "revolution."

What is your solution, if only for yourself?

Life is not a problem to be solved. Do rational being ask themselves what the solution to gravity, 24-hour time cycle, or entropy would be? Man needs to know himself, but equally importantly, he must also know what he is not. Human sociopolitical organization is reality to be accepted, not imagined away with fantasies of scientism. Life is inherently unequal; it is a factual reality much like that of gravity, planetary spin cycle, and entropic death. By imposing delusions of equality - whether in the form of resource allocation or sociopolitical "consensus" - man creates inevitable counter-force that will ultimately restore human social organization into that of hierarchy, more rigid and merciless than prior iterations. All social organizations are pyramidal in structure, not by accident, but by reality of creation. Once a man accepts this reality, then he can comport himself to align with forces of creation, rather than railing futilely against the universe for perceived injustice.

In the ancient past, men erected altars to inanimate objects, in their pitiful attempts at coercing nature. In today's degenerate West, men continue to erect shrines to lifeless tools and scientism, in their futile attempts at bending reality. Can mere man command the sun to not shine? Can this delusional creature demand extension or contraction of planetary orbits? Accept the reality of life and remain grateful for the privileges accorded by your masters. Revolution is a game played by opportunists who use the meatbag tools to pave their road to ascension.

So, your path or position however you want to look at it is sit, remain inactive as an individual and accept station? Does this make you feel alive, living? The injustice isn't in the environment, it is in the self.

A life of obligation, discipline, and intention would seem dull to restless, feckless, grasping mind of modern humanists. Consider, however, the fruits of humanism: a society fractured by identity-less, purposeless, envious, drug addled meatbags bickering over and grasping at meaningless freedoms proffered by irresponsible populist whores, racing towards extinction. What sane man would desire to mimick such existence? What responsible ruler would allow such rot to infect his society?

Injustice, as you adroitly remarked, is a meaningless concept. Point your accusatory finger far enough, and you will quickly discover that there is not even such a concept as "innocent" man, except Jesus the Christ. Your very existence is injustice, as your life is evidence of your forebears' offing some loser in the competition for gene propagation. Cosmic justice, by dictates of logic, demands human extinction, thus, the obvert tendencies of all SWJ-type movements to auto-cannibalize. Injustice is a mere political tool for subverting or supporting current sociopolitical matrix.
