View Full Version : Society, the non-entity

The concept of society is not a valid entity, in fact, it is a mere abstraction of entities. Yet there are endless claims on this forum about higher purposes yet I pose here my problem with this. Society is smaller than you, it is far more unknowable, unreachable, and unattainable because society is not an entity but an abstract concept of all the individuals within it. When a person claims to serve society what they are really becoming is a slave - to whatever whims can be rhetorically directed towards this end. Altruism for an individual might have value, altruism towards a society cannot.

We live in a world where so many let themselves believe, as the looter code has told them since birth: serve society. This is the essential premise which you must reject if you are to do good at all - and by good I mean to be selfish without harming. To be great some believe this is about society - yet the reality shows that this code has done nothing but destroy the earth. When the concern is society, as a primary concern, the individual is no longer of focus - and you cannot do good for anyone. All you can do at that point, when you actually follow this absurd doctrine is the code which you believe serves society - and thus the actions of whatever tyrants says it is so or your own.

There is no place left on earth for such a code. The time has come for people to realize a simple fact: it is good to live your life, it is good to be selfish.

The most damaging part of what I have named the looter code is that selfishness as our dictionaries will all tell us is defined by some variation of "To serve your own interests," yet the socially attached referent or attribute to the word selfishness conjours the image of a brute. A thief is not selfish, he is more dependent on others than anyone. Thus why I call this the looter code - for all those that follow it are typically doomed to fail on their own and know it.

To be quite pointed in this I must say that those who have been convinced by the looter doctrine to serve "greater purposes," are rarely perpetrators and merely victims. The code of selflessness, of self-immolation, and of society has been in place for a reason. To provide cannon fodder and lives willing to kill themselves in the wars and terrors of those who sacrifice human beings: the Kings, the Presidents, the Bilderbergers.

So I ask of you this: if you believe the world is being destroyed, do you really believe it is because we have simply not sacrificed enough? That not enough blood has been spilled? Because this code is what is doing the destruction. Your code, as I will now say it, is one of the primary culprits. Yet where do you hold the blame? With the Kings and Priests who fool you! You are to blame, you accepted their code and thus by stealth allowed a myriad of their commands and reverse psychologies into your actions. You spilled the blood, and the looters being thieves did nothing and contributed nothing like all the con men that have ever existed.

Altruism comes from the latin root "Altru," which means others. What this means is that this is a doctrine, for it ends in ism, that you must do everything for others. In its most original forms it led to a Dark Ages. Of course, the Dark Ages stopped happening because this code adjusted to serve mens selfishness that tiny bit more required for it to sustain itself to this very day.

Where do you pass the blame? Will you call it brainwashing that is impossible to stop or will you cleanse your mind of gigantic abstractions like society and stop serving evil? Because morality is about how to live life on Earth. The looters code will tell you it is to secure the freedom of the grave. Yet, for a morality to serve your existence here it had better be selfish, or it isn't doing much good at all.

"Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth." - Ayn Rand

As The late great great Terence McKenna said, "Culture is a barrier."

I will simply add that this statement to me is neither an indicator of positive or negative, simply a guideline to move past. Its a big one, not to be taken lightly in the context of conscious evolution. We learn and face our demons at different paces. Understanding this allows honesty and humbleness in what you have to offer yourself and thus everyone else.

Were getting there, slowly but surely. And like you mentioned in the OP, its a matter of finding your confidence to remember who you are what what you like doing.

Just Do It.
