The Simulacrum of Civilization

Why allow the people to have what they need when a semblance of it will suffice? In this question is the reason why almost everything representing humankind's vaunted principles is little more than a facade. The only thing that can't be faked is individual volition. Ultimately, it is the people who build civilization and hold it together, or break it apart.

Instead of allowing the facades to be turned into the actual edifices needed by the people, the self-appointed keepers of humankind would rather induce the people to destroy them and replace them with new facades. It is the costly sacrificial maneuver which has ensured their power through the ages. They resort to it when they are losing control. In this new age of unprecedented information access, they are struggling like never before to incite the people to do their dirty work. Beware that they are looking for a cataclysm to preserve their advantage.

The possessors of civilization's institutions act with murderous certainty to determine the status of everyone and the value of everything. Rewards and punishments are meted accordingly. The vast majority is condemned by default to be metaphorically boiled in excrement, while the select elite are celebrated and compensated beyond reason. Despite thousands of years of information progress, the world is kept politically primitive to allow this preposterous level of control.

"Fake news" is one of many straw man decoys deployed in the past few years to defend the authority of this arbitrary reality. The full-spectrum media machine--the proverbial boiling excrement--offers what seems like an unlimited number of viewpoints of the same degrading composition. The dedication to dishonesty required for this daily production is pathological. It makes all of us ill to one degree or another.

An actual, existentially reliable civilization is what a sapient species naturally requires. The current alternative is too much like actual captivity to be anything else.

There is no downside to politically emancipating humankind if it is done sincerely with wisdom and sound judgement. That, after all, is the definition of sapience. There is nothing wrong with our species that an end to its abusive subservience can not cure.

Regarding Human Variety

The ordering of human variety by color-labeled "race" is a primitive construct that is useful only to authoritarian ideologues. In actuality, our genetic diversity is much too varied and interesting to lend itself easily to coarse political manipulation. For example, the following graphic illustrates the population frequency of the Gallic haplogroup, which, historically speaking, is humankind's driving haplogroup. Ocean access provided the advantage that they eventually used to colonize the undiscovered world.



What makes all of us human, aside from reproductive compatibility, is that we are mentally compatible. Excepting cognitive dysfunction, all of us are, by nature, capable of knowing the same things. As the world's standard of living improves and technology makes the connections possible, people will have more opportunities to express themselves genetically in beautiful new ways. Our variety truly is a blessing.

By the way, for most words and names with a double "L," it is a mark of Gallic origin. It represents the "Pillars of Hercules," the original name of the gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The Twin Towers of the original World Trade Center were also a symbol of the Pillars, before monomania turned them into sacrificial pyres and replaced them with the "Freedom Tower" pyramid.
