My dearest Khalid,
Summary
Let us summarize some aspects of the last two lectures. Of course,
deliberately, we are going to exaggerate, because we want to portray
the consciousness and "thinking" of the majority of the world citizens.
Certainly, those of us who still have their mental capacity and ability
somehow intact may disagree with us, but we are not talking about them.
The shoe does not fit them. So please, Khalid, "see clearly now", the "rain
is gone". We are portraying the general "world spirit", its "thinking and
thoughts".
1) In the previous deliberations, we noted that a member of the species homo sapiens sapiens, whether alive or dead, is being identified, affirmed or defined as a "human BEING", "un ser humano", "ein menschliches Wesen" , etc.
2) Nobody determines this member as a "human EXISTENCE", that is, "a human being a n d existence". Hence, just the cosmic, natural, material, substantial, corporeal, praxis BEING is underlined.
3) Also "man" is a "human being" and not a "human becoming" ; he is formal logically in a cage; he can change his size, his age, get gray, but he cannot become anything else. He is bound to the status quo, essentially he can only change from within, can only change his world system from within.
4) When anybody speaks about "human existence", he does not refer to
becoming, thinking, theory or society. Also he does not underline
Human Essence a n d Existence.
5) Also, statements like " human nature", "man by nature ..." or
"the essence of man ...", as a rule, just refer to his cosmic natural being.
In other cases, because "essence" is spiritual or divine, "human nature"
is simply something out of this world.
Divine Being, Human Essence
The irony of it all, ideologically: Being is being equated with
the divine, with the spirit, with the soul, because historically these
are fundamental in patriarchal "society". Everything corporeal, bodily,
material, feminine, natural or cosmic, generally, in age-old,
official ideology is simply diabolical, debase or rubbish; these are earthly
things which the human being should get rid of; that is, he should
purify his divine soul from such material entities. He should act and think
divine, positive.
Soma Sema & Speaking Tools
This explains Plato's "soma sema"
- the body is the grave of the soul. What all ruling classes really think
about Nature, about their subjects, about "human beings", is at best expressed
by Aristotle's "speaking tools"
or by the systematic destruction a posteriori
of Nature by agricultural feudalism and industrial capitalism. The
Lords of the Earth do not believe in any soul or divine being; these are
products of their perverse superstructure; as Feuerbach had explained,
they are ideological phantasms, Man, the Ruler, Homo Himself is this fantastic
being. The sad story is that "the best of us" still preserve and conserve
our own "personal God and religion". The whole feudalist-capitalist
superstructure, art, language, music, entertainment, education, religion,
philosophy, law, etc., is over-saturated with religious and divine opium.
Certainly, not reading the Bible, not going to Church, not praying, can
never be a cocksure "Dr. Norton" or "Macafee", do not produce a panacea
against this opium-virus, against religious ignorance.
This "opium for, by and of the people",
this modern, democratic, religious ideology,
every millisecond still reproduces itself in every single, human nerve
cell, vein, artery and capillary. Who affirms
pre-, infra-, ultra-, post-industrial capitalist "society" is forever
endangered by this virus, which destroys the complete immunization
system. This is no exaggeration; who still has eyes to see, look at the
three millennia world "history", and what do we behold? Now, suddenly "history"
has come to its end, "science" has given up the "ghost", and "philosophy"
has lost its "spirit"; this our erudite scholars want to make us
believe on Internet and in "Newsweek" !
Oh! Lord. Choose Me!
How many "human beings" on earth have liberated themselves of
these sweet and dear "holy ghosts" ? Historically, never ever, the
slave
lords, the feudal lords, the global capitalist overlords, the Earthly
Representatives of the Lord, could ever have accomplished slavery,
absolutism and democracy, if they really and sincerely had BELIEVED
in such divine chimera and phantasmagoria. The pauperized "human being",
with his "divine soul", needed this opium, it was and still is "the sigh
of the oppressed creature", "the heart of a heartless world".
How could and would modern Africa, Asia and South America have survived without "its daily opium"; for the "wretched of the earth", life would simply become unbearable, hopeless. Millions would die as a result of "heartbreaks", "soulbreaks" or "holy plague"; no pill, no vitamin, no drug would save them anymore. Alas! There would be nothing left to exploit, dominate and discriminate anywhere, except, perhaps, on Mars or Jupiter.
The above summarizes some aspects already treated before; it is only meant as a sort of revision or refreshing thought "Coke".
A Small Step Ahead
Now let us make a small thoughtful step ahead.
Generally when ethnologists or anthropologists study animal behaviour,
for example of chimpanzees, apes or gorillas, they are always interested
to know whether these "creatures" think or can think; and if we study their
experiments and the methods
which they use to determine this "consciousness" in animals, or whether
they can develop or understand any "language", then we see Formal Logics
at its best; in fact, these ideologues who generally defend the "human"
patriarchal status quo, very
often, let the cat out of the bag, let Schroedinger's cat out of the box.
They themselves demonstrate with scientific precision, from the cradle to the grave, exactly what has been done with billions of so-called "human beings"; that what they try to test in the chimpanzees, or what they want them to do and to "think", is exactly what dominant "society" had successfully achieved with the greatest majority of "mankind" in so-called "history". The millions of pariahs, reduced to Zombies, to the living-dead and dying-alive, who crawl on Earth, are the formal-logical products of this scientific "naturalization and socialization"; these mutilated "human beings" are the great success, the zenith of human "history", of the "crown of creation". Go and see how hundreds of millions vegetate in the "developing" world, in India, Rwanda, Nigeria, Mozambique, and then come back, and we can talk about the wonderful "human being", about "nice people".
As I said before, the creme de la creme of this world does not for a second believe in their own ideological creations and fantasies; and who believes the opposite, has urgently to go and see an authentic psychiatrist. Surely no Prime Minister or any other Minister of State believe in the fairy tales of democracy, peace, love, honesty, holiness, justice, equality or fraternity. If they did believe in such nonsense, they would not commit adultery, would not empty the public coffers, would not be arrested for "war crimes", would not enter in the Book of Guinness as "womanizers"; they would never be elected or nominated to their respective posts as guardians of the Patria and Capital.
So Many Questions! No Answers!
Why were all the ancient "cultures" and "civilizations" of Africa, Asia
and America overrun by patriarchal Europe? Why were their action and thinking
declared as being barbaric, primitive and ungodly? What were they doing
and thinking for a million years before the "master race" arrived? At least,
they only became "human beings" some
500 years ago, when they were for the first time "christianized" and
"civilized". How did "pre-historic" Man communicate? Which parts of his
brains were destroyed by Labour? Why did he end up with such a miserable
"thinking tool", with Language? What is the relation between Language,
Labour, Exploitation and Domination? Was it not, instead of the glorified
Blessing, an "Original Sin" that Man at all developed Language, hence losing
his true natural-social-historic
communication methods? Why are so many Truths topsy-turvy?
Did "Man" come from Mars? Are we all green Martians?
Also it is imperative to ask the question: Who are "THEY", who are "they", the "natives" ? This "THEY" or "they" is not just a general empty word, , an indiscriminate bogey-man connotation. This concept presupposes another very serious question: Why, after being nearly 2 million of years on this planet, 90% of the chosen race, homo sapiens sapiens, still are "stupid", are incapable of thinking, still cannot reason, still are swamped with superstition, black magic, religion, saints, devils, ideology and virtual reality?
Compared to other species, is homo sapiens really so dull, so "duns", so lethargic, so "schwer vom Begriff" ( so lazy to put "two and three" together), so idiotic to understand its own Formal Logics, so limited to grasp Dialectics, so maimed to surpass itself? Why can only a meagre 10% do this, and even this is a huge over-estimation, an over-statement; probably only 1 % does it at all ?
Parallel to the above questions come the political-economic corresponding queries, for example, why are "they", the same 90%, poor, miserable, exploited, dominated, discriminated and dehumanized?
And why do "THEY", the rest, not suffer all these, and why do THEY live in Heaven on Earth? Whether we like it or not, scientifically and philosophically, the "Communists", Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, have sufficiently answered this question, and therewith have explained Who is Who? Who are THEY? Who are they?
We need not waste any time anymore to identify "THEY", the "thinkers" and "actors" of the "human melodrama or tragicomedy". THEY are not singular, not individuals, THEY are pluralis majestatis, are HIS MAJESTY, the majestic "human race", the real and true "human being", Man, Mankind, THEY are what is called "SOCIETY". Everybody else (they) must practise "soma seme", must act as "they", as "speaking tools".
Well, Guy!
Until next time.
Love Greetings,
Franz..
