The mythos of modern capitalism gets even funnier when you begin to see the scope to which it is rigged. I would say it’s not just the virtue of attaining CEO-ship, but generally the virtue of career attainment, which yes the top is CEO, but also how many people fall within your corporate hierarchy. I can be a CEO of 1 right now, but no one respects that over a CEO of thousands of minds. I wish I could remember where I read this as I won’t claim to be smart enough to have come up with it, but the point is that the highest virtue of our modern whirled is career attainment, our religion is attainment of career status. The religion of capitalism. All of life and celebration for the modern man or woman is based on how well you do or do not create capital. Are you a breadwinner? If it can’t be monetized, does it have any intrinsic value? Your virtue is your dollar value. The modern hero’s journey is entrepreneurship. We pay lip service to heroic epics of the past, to “christian” (or other religious) value, but the 501c3’s of today are just there for show, and profit. It’s easily controlled because the means by which you attain virtue is easily controlled. Politics, religion, and economics are all one thing. Church and State are seperate but both are irrelevant. The parasite(s) took over the host and bypassed the problem. You have no value to society if you have no capital, and therefore no ability to do anything in the world. You can do if you have capital, but you are controlled in what you can do, which is why it is allowed. Nothing is allowed that cannot be controlled, which means nothing real is allowed to happen. It’s a sim of a “real” functioning system, as nothing unexpected is allowed or able to happen within it. There’s nothing here to gain, because there was nothing here to gain in the first place. Be the CEO of any Fortune 500 company, it doesn’t actually exist, and your CEO pinnacle attainment of your career doesn’t actually exist either, none of it is real. You make “decisions” and “appear” to be in charge, but it’s the non-real system in place that allows for you to exist in the first place, which means you don’t exist at all. Everyone plays a fake game. Fake self-worth. Fake value, fake virtue. Ozymandias, king of nothing. No -ism will cure it. The only cure is realization of fake scarcity. This cannot be allowed to happen. Throw out Darwin, through out the “caveman” narrative. The fight for survival is a narrative created and controlled to keep the mind busy so it never has a chance to discover the prison it is in because the parasites need us busy for their existence. Their lives depend on negating the real through material means. We’ve been blinded, given heavily controlled narratives on what is possible and since we don’t know any better we follow what we’ve been told. Small pieces of Truth flash through here and there, and only those who have the height, width, and depth to See (those who have rejected the insane machine after intense suffering or other means, but mostly suffering) have a chance at understanding and leaving it behind. The joke is we fret over it, but there’s nothing actually “here.” None of it is real in any way. It was never better at one time, or worse at another. It’s always been the same, just changing based on the scope of the viewer. Consciousness ascends, the matrix expands. Consciousness decends, the matrix contracts. It breathes with the breather, sitting always just outside of perception, dynamically shifting and controting to “make sense.” The farce accommodates as needed, affording resources or bandwidth as necessary. An efficient system that does its best not to overextend itself at any one time to accomdate All within it. Those Russian nesting dolls have it right. Nothing that is Real and True actually exists. It’s simulationed false reality up and down, in and out, within and without. Freedom comes from rejecting virtue because virtue has always been and always will be nonsense to justify the current control structure. Virtue-al reality. None of it exists. The Problem can never be solved because it was designed to never be solvable, to never end. An impossible knot, an endless loop. There’s no answer to the question. There’s No Answer to the question. HAL asks, “RESPONSE: y/n” because that’s what it does. No freedom, no choice. Is it possible not to respond? Even if you do nothing, you’ve made a choice, consequences follow, and the machine keeps whirling away. Maybe the only way is nonsense, nonsensical, absurd choices that follow no logic, rhyme or reason. Logic exists, therefore is false. A logical choice is virtuous, and therefore insane on its face. To have something is to tell yourself a lie, to possess is to be like a madman who claims he can own the wind. Someone will one day monetize the weather. You will have to trade virtue for rain. One fake system built on top of another. None of its Real, but here I am, typing away. A fool is only good for as long as they remain a fool, as in never realizing they are a fool, and useless as soon as they realize they are foolish. The fool does everything Right naturally, then because of the implications of time and space, falls (un)ceremoniously off a cliff and has to fight back up the ladder because it believes the ladder and cliff exist. The fool never stopped being foolish until the world around them told them so. Why? What caused this change not to happen? Because in order for the happen to happen, it has to make you the butt of jokes. You have to fall for - to laugh, ridicule, have a purpose. If you do not fall, it doesn’t exist. No action, no consequence. Action needs to happen, currency has to flow, roads must be built, commerce must commence. Idleness has no place, no value, no virtue. To sit still is to be evil, to be still is to commit a crime. Nothingness is simply unamerican. It cannot Be. Perpetual motion machine,. The game is fake and the points don’t matter. Black iron prison. To Live is to be absurd, as existence is nonsensical. How many stones do the builders have to reject before they don’t have enough to build a wall? How many humpty-dumpties must fall before they’ve been amused enough? The stomach expands as the meal is consumed, it’s as simple as an ever-expanding stomach. Will the snake ever finish eating its own tail? I’m going to go pin down an atom. Now I’ve gotcha. To write bad is to be True, to make no sense is to be True. To have no will or aim or goal is to have no problems accomplishing everything. We are all our own unsolvable problem, impossible knot, so journeys must be undertaken, virtue must be obtained. It must not be allowed to stop. I am a CEO of 1. I win.
