8/16 specialization has made people incomplete, and slaves to a single role in society so that they may earn power.

Only the people who specialize in power itself become whole.

they who specialize in money itself, the finance expert and the economist. The politician who is meant to decide on everything in the completeness of life. The soldier, new or ancient, who is meant to pursue true power for the object of idyllic humanity. Perhaps a religious figure. Anyone powerful. These are the modern divisions and mutated offshoots of a single genus of class; the class which pursues humanity. The warrior poet, the complete person.

Like people say though, whatever it is that makes people rich, it isn’t good taste in the things they afford. And it’s also true that what makes people successful in politics isn’t having good opinions, and what makes someone a soldier isn’t good ethics.

the artist of every kind must stress and discover how fundementally important what they do is, how essential it is to the creation of the individual. The fashion designer learns how the style tells everything about a person, how the culmination of a person and their values and personality is essentially tied at some level to what they wear. but for themselves they are nothing as a person but the creator of one aspect of a person. fashion conveys no personality for them because it itself is their personality. The architect uncovers how fundemental and essential the structure is to the identity, the life experience, to conveying philosophy, essential to the identity and emotions a person feels, just the way the fashion desinger would. And all this is also true, only the architect has only become complete in archetecture and not all the other aspects of the self-realization.
The athlete pursues the most essential part of the human experience, the physical form, it is fundemental to everything a person is, so does the doctor, but they are not an architect, nor a fashion desinger, they are incomplete. The farmer understands the essential nature of land to the human, but they are nothing else.
The chef knows that what you eat is everything and cooking is a universal joy and the most ancient and uniting of human rituals, but the chef is nothing but complete in food.
To the engineer, the design of everything definitely is so important and essential to life, surely it's not just technology but something more.
The author understands the most essential nature of being human, the knowledge, nobody else is complete but instead superficial without it, but then the author is so specialized in the writing of some topic that they are not complete without the fundemental humanity of the authors who specialize in any other topic, or the fundemental humanity of the painter and photographer, or the people who specialize in what *they* are writing about.
To the musician we are not complete in a life without music or the right music or the pursuit of the most beautiful music.
To the historian one is incomplete without their past- but then they are *only* living in the past.
Maybe we are also not complete with what a man who scales mountains has. It's also true that one is incomplete in not pursuing love.
How does someone fit finding love AND scaling mountains into their life? Every specialist of everything must believe they are working on the most fundemental thing, because they can't afford not to, with what they have left in their humanity so overwhelmed by something so specific, they can only fit a small mixture of tiny and superficial doses of everything else in the world into their life. They MUST believe that whatever one singular thing they are doing is ALL they need to be human, because they have no choice but to believe that.

Every artist and scientist suffers for their work to epitomize the one thing that is different from everyone else, so that in the end none of them have any room left to complete themselves with what is the pinnacle of work of those around them, except for those who specialize in the system of power itself, who can come in at the very end and scoop up everything and make use of the products of specialized pursuits for themselves, to incorporate a completeness into their being.


(9/2 addition) i heard about this one person who had become very talented in speaking different languages, he dedicated absolutely every moment of his life to learning different languages, and he was likely going to get a job as a translator for the united nations or something like that. But it made me wonder, if he had spent every moment of his life learning languages, what did he actually have to talk about? He can listen to other people but ultimately if he ever could spend time truly understanding any one person he would probably instead spend his time instead working on his grammar or a new language, and he himself would certainly have little to say back beyond polite small talk. Even his very good guarenteed career is him doing nothing but speaking for other people, he would be empty as a person, barely there.



(9/6) This look was amazing, so I can forgive her for comitting forgery and inheritance fraud. But anyway the point is if you cant live life looking good you cant live life at all. And just to meet that minimum requirement of looking good you already need serious privilege and luck.



some people can still look good without expensive clothes; they happen to also be the people who can afford expensive clothes


(9/2 addition)What chance do the peasants have to become as complete and human as their masters? Through the immaterial, we can try to become something more through the scraps of fiction compiled into a consumable, the late society feeds us the artificial cultural supplements for reality. For the humanity we lack. The scraps of reality of an immaterial world let the slave class relieve their lack of humanity. This is the modern hinterwelt letting the crushed base of society find some spiritual compensation, the immaterial consumption becomes the new opiate of the masses. We become human in the immaterial world because we know we cannot become human in the real world, just as with religion, but without any sense of purpose or meaning.

and yet, it is those with the most power in the material world who have come to rule the immaterial world. now nothing is good for anyone

what chance do you as a slave in this world have of becoming human, surrounded by masters? through surrendering to the immaterial?


The heirarchy of needs of an individual mirror the attainability of the needs within the heirarchy of a society. In a heirarchy, only the top becomes fully human through the combination of all other things below them. The slaves build the pyramid up to it's top for the master, in a literal sense as well as in a spiritual heirachy-of-needs-pyramid sense.

Religion as a force of slavery gives people too much sense of meaning, the meaninglessness of the future has a more perfect system, slavery which not even masters will escape. Endless consumption of immaterial humanity.

The masters will enslave everyone through the physical and then the spiritual until there is none left to enslave and they will enslave themselves, and the future will never again know humanity.


humanity is dead

in the future everyone is a slave

and the new emperor has no head



Dehumanization is not a matter of failure to perceive humanity, but instead a manifestation of actions. Humanity as something obtainable, something nurtureable, humanity as a goal of society, the construct of "humanity"- implies and by extention creates the concept of dehumanization. Dehumanization is a function of creating humanity. If humanity is a social construct that is created and manifested into reality, then dehumanisation is too. It is not a failiure to perceive unchallengable humanity but a destruction of humanity within a person through perception, through any act that reinforces and invokes the social construct of "dehumanization".
