Antihumanity: Part 2
Vehemence
Here is part 2 of my series on describing Antihumanity. I
deal with outcomes (better termed "involvements" of the
Culture of Antihumanity, expressions of Antihuman culture
commonly termed Modernism and Postmoderism, a brief
statement on human reproduction (main belief of the culture
of Humanity), Jesus's generation of the cultures of Unity
and Objectivity, predictions of the future of the world given
Antihuman culture's continual power, and a brief statement
on the greatest contribution of Darwin.
Involvements of the Culture of Antihumanity:
Worshippers of God are worshipping something they cannot
experience in any tangible way. This potential stumbling block has
been overcome in creative fashion:
A) Believe that God actually is tangible. Believe that he exists in
trees, and flowers, and rocks, etc. Hence when you are
experiencing those things you are experiencing God.
B) Believe that God created everything and therefore is responsible
for everything. A) is an extension of this belief. One major reason
for belief in this: Since God is all-powerful and you were created by
God you are the creation of an all-powerful being. Congratulations!
You are powerful second-hand. What people feel the need to be
created by an all-powerful being?
C) Pursue the intangible. Since God is intangible you must seek the
intangible to find God. The way most often used in a search for the
intangible is abstraction. This is perceived as being most similar to
intangibility (and therefore God). Favored abstraction is that which
deals with non-living things. Why non-living things? Non-living
things do not pursue reproduction like living things do. Also, living
things tend to be exteriors and abstraction is not needed in those
cases. This pursuit has resulted in organized religion which
branched off into science. Science is a religion.
The culture of antihumanity does not like reproduction:
A) The priests and eunuchs hate sexual reproduction (feminine
power). They legitimize this belief by saying that hating sexual
reproduction is noble and good, that they are making a great
sacrifice.
B) The antihumans hate extensions of influence (masculine power).
They pursue this belief in saying that everyone should be free, to
never be influenced by another's extension of influence.
On Postmodernism: Postmodernism is an understandable culture
following the acknowledged failure of modernism. Modernism
failed to generate or express a unity and its attempts were
declining in power. In reaction to this, postmodernist culture has
emerged. This culture celebrates disunity and splinters. It also
celebrates the local and the surface, as being least distant for
consciousness as opposed to the celebration of the distant and
abstract. This culture celebrates other humans (Actor) as
opposed to the celebration of God.
Does postmodernist culture entail a decline in the culture of
antihumanity? It certainly entails a decline in the being of God.
Modernist antihumanity is currently expressing grave concern
about their waning god. Yet the culture of antihumanity is far
more powerful than God. Antihumans will attempt to adapt if
their God is rendered powerless. What will they adapt to, what
are they currently adapting to? They are adapting to worship of
humanity. Worship of humanity is nearly the same thing as
worship of God, as God was said to create all living things and
therefore those living things are worthy of worship.
Postmodernist culture is no expression of the weakening of the
culture of antihumanity, but merely an adaptation. Postmodernist
culture recognizes the failure of modernism, but it offers nothing
in return. It simply says, the search for depth results in
inconsistencies (irony) so we will examine the surface. Yet the
surface is a reflection of the deep and the deep is a reflection of
the surface. The inconsistencies postmodernists are concerned
with are the differences between the modernist ideal (unity has
no inconsistencies) and the perceived realities. Postmodernists
are not separate from modernists. They are merely disaffected
modernists using modernist beliefs to consider the world.
Postmodernism could use its own identity.
Are human reproduction and human power the same thing? No,
but human power is involved with human reproduction.
Jesus and the writers of the Bible created belief in God which
justified antihuman beliefs. Desire for unity and objectivity came
from these beliefs. Objectivity allowed people to live as God
does, judge as God does. Unity meant one humanity, one religion,
one people, one person. Unity is the attempt to eliminate
difference, which is involved with disunity and conflict. Love of
unity is love of peace (death).
How will antihumanity extend into the future? Ultimately antihumanity
will result in human extinction. Even if antihumanity continues as the
major cultural force it may take centuries or millenia for human
extinction to occur. On a more short term basis extending from the
present: the culture of change should continue to accelerate as
antihumans search for self-justification. Will antihumans find this
self-justification, this transcendence? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
It is likely that they will arrive at a self-justification. It is sure that
this
transcendence will not be to the benefit of humanity (Although the
antihumans will be convinced it is). This transcendence will be the
creation of something non-human and the pursuit of this non-human
thing. At some point in the future antihumans may come to believe
that the search is in error. This may lead to the belief that antihumanity
is fundamentally wrong. If the transcendence occurs before this belief,
it will be much more difficult to acheive power. The Great Illusion will
have its new God (they will not call their creation God) to replace the
one in decline, and the euphoria may last as long as the one following
the first God did. How will the great hunger of worshippers of Actor
extend into the future? Let us hope that they content themselves with
feasting on humans. Any ambition here, expanding into animal or alien
domains, would (we have seen some of this) be disastrous. Anarchy
should gain in power, being the state of power equalization.
On Darwinism: Darwin's great contribution was the statement
that Reproduction is the fundamental aspect of Strength (the
culture of humanity). It is not true that only the strong survive,
but that the strong survive better than the weak. It is also true
that humans are far stronger than any other form of life (anything
that wills and does reproduction of itself) on the planet.

Theodor Adorno (a modernist if there ever was one): "The

When you write of God, whose God are writing of? Your own? A Christian
God? A Hindi God? Certainly not a Hebrew God.
Seems a lot of confusion arises from the vaguely of your terminology.
Perhaps you are referring to humanity's universal spirituality but are so
trapped in the society you detest that you cannot appreciate this?

There really is no need to be so negative about all this. Modernism did
not produce much unity but did it ever intend to? Surely most Modernist
were exploring their own unconsciousness? What did produce unity in the
Modernist period was the neo-Classicism of the Third Reich.
That which has occurred post-Modernism seems to me most unifying, for its
post-Freudian acceptance of our individuality and post-Darwinian secular
intellects (forget Fred N, the mad ol' anti-Semite).
Fracturing/splintering? Where? In this country we have more Peoples
living together in harmony than in any other Land in the World: we have
unity, even if it did cost our snuggle-blanket dogmas and ideolects. First
we take Islington & Camden, then we take the world...

I'm sure you'd look good in a dog collar.

PM is mostly a refreshing attempt at impersonal 'scientific' observation;
it offers nothing more because it attempts to get beyond dogma. If all is
a river, then the surface does reflect the depths but only if you are
viewing from the depths...if you are on the surface the reflection is of
the sky: so observations of your surface should show us something
ELSE...who knows if it won't be what the old religiosi used to call
'divine'? One only has to know what to look for, and more helpfully, where
to view from. Mandelbrot noticed this back in the sixties.

The inconstancies PM is concerned with is the variety of life, and not any
'ideal' be it Modernist, Colonial or pre-Enlightenment.
I'd like to know why you think 'unity has no inconsistencies'.

No no no. The desire for unity c.0 CE/AD came from the Roman occupation.
Don't know where you pulled objectivity from, but if anything allowed the
folk to stop eating/murdering/raping eachother ('live as God does, judge as
God does' - and we're talking Elohim here) then no bad thing, eh?

'Vehemence', you need more help than I can give at this time of day
(irony).
Tell you what, if you're really Seeking Knowledge, post shorter articles
and I'll do my best.
Love & Peace
