observations upon simulation of reality in modernity

1, draconian tail sweep, maintain social order, and justify its existence with the Book of Lord Shang disguised as Confucius, that most people read as niccolo cos they don't know anything but they think they know everything. direct biopower towards creating and maintaining production and viability.

2, control as many aspects of reality as you can with appeal to lowest common denominator, while getting the highbrow on your side with Thrasymachus attack. You mostly get the janky uncommons, but you sometimes get the Egghead Emeritus, and then there are the envious types who will do anything cos the most they will show dissent is to kaopeh and then diam diam.

3, next, deny validity of free exploration to suppress generation of alternative paradigms and opinions in society

4, then, positivism strikes back; under scientism, reality has been reduced to bare matter, and most organized religions pretty much buckle under by not asking individuals to look beyond the Demiurge, but to instead look to the Demiurge to provide a glance into Sophia. look for archaeological evidence of divinity, o snap.

(backwards dancing man asks: what if you are wrong, observer? what if this is not sell out, but it is possibly exactly this search for tying Spirit with Matter, that is resistance to the Unitarian Engineer Council?)

(observer: still looks like a crock la.)

5, So, if those who have put themselves in charge of mediating Spirit for the mass consciousness sell out, what remains is a drive towards occultism in all its forms. To be *occulted*. to hide. to sequester oneself, so one can think and experiment and reflect; mystic's path, contemplation.

6, hence the generation of self-sustaining, inherently fluctuating groups of subcultures who practice resistance via the weapons of the weak; produce transcript narratives.

7, but they get sian ji puah, cos they feel like they will never be the mainstream, and they judge themselves by that standard. Then the younger ones look at the older ones and shout "YOU ARE SOOO PASSIVE AND COMFORTABLE!!!! YOU DONT HAVE THE EDGE ANYMORE!" while the elder lao jiaos say "NO, YOU ARE TOO REACTIONARY!!"

8, but that's life ya. Then inside, the lessons get taught again. and again. Is it just my sentimentalism? Or is control getting stronger? Or has it always been the same?

9, (dancing backwards man says, you'll always have friends who disagree, then how?)

10, observer: lan lan lor, it's not like you can expect everyone to agree, if they could then no need for simulation and control of reality right. And why you want everyone to agree so much? If you do, then you fall into Thrasymachus laser diu diu trap too!

Ok, breakfast.
