Merry Unity!
In the current thing, I wish you all Merry Unity!
Throughout my life, I found school to be confining, expressing my disdain for it openly during my primary years - so, of course, I was a weird girl. I cherish curiosity, analog creations, and convivial interactions that are a synthesis of empirical reassessments that involve senses and memory, motion, and time. I emphasize the importance of randomness and failure, as they foster new paths and possibilities. In contrast to our instant culture run in capitalist reality, I cherish tangible, meaningful objects and advocate for a sublime and visceral human experience.
Currently, I'm delving into questions concerning sexual double standards, nature vs nurture, hierarchy vs game theory, justice, and its relativism, determinism vs personal agency, and the impact of digital worlds on our sense of self and autonomy. I ponder questions about female desire, femininity, metaphysics, somatic experiences, and the pervasive religion of identity (we vs them) contributing to societal conflicts, including global and sex wars. I am investigating how can we resist, reconcile, and repair.
Despite my numerous questions, the complexities of life require attention to practical matters like eating and paying rent. I perceive intellectual work as corrupted and undervalued in a world dominated by "bullshit jobs" and technocratic states. Seeking alternatives, I appreciate the notion of building intellectual communities (akin to the current system) to make mature dialog great again.
I denounce manufactured consent and any form of censorship including political correctness and violent cancel culture that represent super-ego dictatorship. I call for a return to real pluralism. I advocate for spaces promoting non-violent discourse, and resisting censorship that stifles progress and freedom. Woke culture (so-called identitarianism) embodies everything that QUEER initially stood against—authoritarian regulations as so-called SOCIAL NORMS. This path contradicts the journey toward AUTHENTIC SELVES, as the moral paradigm goes against our AUTONOMY.
Contemplating the essence of freedom leads me to the idea of SELF-REGULATION. True freedom lies in making CHOICES aligned with our CONSCIENCE that have roots in COMPASSION not the imposition of moral authority. It involves the ability to say voluntarily NO to ourselves preventing us from ABUSE of ourselves and others. FREEDOM lies in individual RESPONSIBILITY and mind-body-spirit integrity. Only mature dialog is a guarantee of societal improvement.
Any form of addiction, whether substance-related or behavioral, leads to dysregulation, significantly limiting our capacity for free choice. Societal norms further constrain our authenticity, making us more susceptible to the numbing consumption of addictive commodities that desensitize our perception. Profit-oriented capitalist reality exploits this vulnerability by manipulating our behavior. Through its inventions, we willingly transform ourselves into alienated commodities, facilitating this process through our irresponsible over-consumption.
The system, in its relentless pursuit, overproduces a supply promising a facade of liberty and choice, ultimately transforming individuals into dopamine-dysregulated disembodied zombies and fostering narcissistic tendencies akin to toddlers triggered by reality checks - having and eating a cake simultaneously is an impossible equation. The lack of insight manifests in a corrupted conscience, resulting in disconnection, egoism, and entitlement. We don’t listen to each other. Dialog is not possible anymore.
WE NEED TO CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND ATTUNE TO EACH OTHER.
As a committed egalitarian, I value gender-critical discourse while rejecting the abandonment of our bodies and the dismissal of nature when striving for justice, especially in the context of historical narratives shaped by those in power. Nature, I believe, should guide us, and we must adjust our systems to align with our visceral wisdom to protect it rather than conforming to changing paradigms.
To counteract this, the question arises: How do we build RESISTANCE?
