The Puni$hment For Failing To Abide The Fine Print
What is the price for disobedience?
As seen through an easily replicable .JPG file of THE CRYSTAL PALACE, a people rove and rampage through a wasteland of encroaching sands. The desert only grows - woe indeed to any one who would hide it. Woe to everyone then, that everyone has always sought to hide it. Here we find the netherworld’s carnival, its grand, grim fire sale, staffed, wardened and containing all its inmates.
A noisy twilight sprawls over a market of horror and delight, everywhere the buildings burning, the animals marching, endless protest of “day” and then its “night.” The amassing of information by the Last Eichmanns in insectoid beetle-man fashion creates, conspiracizes, and destroys reality as quickly as its created - all blaring in concerted union of chaos itself, attempted to be orchestrated and made instrument by human calculators and human number-coders and crackers - symptoms and their arguments, blown up and down in every direction. You’ll never know which is which, none of which betrays that those in rocket-powered flight from reality never performed their due diligence in reading the terms of service, especially when it comes to the fine print, of which words such as “penalty” and “punishment” are absolutely intolerable and unbearable to modern ears, in an age requiring the falsification of everything real, primal, and non-corporately owned.1 Which is to say, there is no reality outside institutionalized, or, corporate and state-owned reality. Is it because there is an arbiter here? Any real justice to be had? An actual truce, peace, or agreement? Impossible, rather, this is what happens when you lose sight of reality, and what the older survival algorithms meant, and why it matters: the creation and procreation of happiness through a meaningful duration of time.2 Just when the remnants of the broken Christian cult began to think they escaped their own gravity, the rocket-ship is vaporized, the mobile habitat blown apart mid-flight. The Red Rocket Glare, The Tanks Rolled into heaven made, even down there. Victory forever. No Nemesis could ever rain on this parade.
It’s not like these animals and what’s left of the fragments of the tribes formerly known as “man” haven’t been warned by Philosophers, Psychologists, Prophets, Founders of Religions, Humanists, Thinkers, Weirdos, Artists, and even Corporate-Replicant People-oids manufactured as byproduct of the machine this last century, let alone the millennia of advising these animals that most of them really were no good, or more humane in Buddhistic fashion perhaps, they were delusional and insane at best, or “sinners that could be fixed at worse” - but either way, the message was clear: nobody should be made to suffer the average insanity, mundanity, and vanity of the average3 human ego.
Requisite cost in pounds of flesh and otherwise, the original survival algorithms, what ratios are needed and for why (psyche, senses, telos, preparing for times of famine and war, etc.), was overshot in its mark long ago, blown apart in its own imminence, the desire to shed all future possibilities as if to eliminate the past, therefor the future, entirely, which is to say, modernity can only end in post-modernity, a museum of hauntings for future post-apocalyptic generations, a curation of the ruins while waiting for the fallout that determines who lives in the aftermath, and who will be lord of the techno-feudalistic wasteland of ever stranger happenings and insanities.
That is why, today, a higher history recognizes that “Progress” (and its myriad theories, theologies, and ideologies that make up its stated world of appearance and its mirror - the oblivion of “them”) means nothing more than the idealistic cover story and the delusions of cowards who need every truth falsified, every steep climb made easy, those who feign to know the heights, to be the heights, to be from “on high.” Yet no matter how far they seek to flee, there is nowhere left to flee to. Just what have they been running from? The terms of the agreement. If you don’t remember signing it yourself, it’s because the choices were made for you, long before you knew what was really on the line:
MAD GOD INDUSTRIES - TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT
(1400 BCE TO ETERNITY):
1) A.) If you will not obey my commands, you will be punished. B.) If you refuse to obey my laws and commands and break the covenant I have made with you, I will punish you. C.) I will bring disaster on you—incurable diseases and fevers that will make you blind and cause your life to waste away. D.) You will plant your crops, but it will do you no good, because your enemies will conquer you and eat what you have grown. E.) I will turn against you, so that you will be defeated, and those who hate you will rule over you; you will be so terrified that you will run when no one is chasing you.
2) A.) If even after all of this you still do not obey me, I will increase your punishment seven times. B.) I will break your stubborn pride; there will be no rain, and your land will be dry and as hard as iron. C.) All your hard work will do you no good, because your land will not produce crops and the trees will not bear fruit.
3) A.) If you still continue to resist me and refuse to obey me, I will again increase your punishment seven times. B.) I will send dangerous animals among you, and they will kill your children, destroy your livestock, and leave so few of you that your roads will be deserted.
4) A.) If after all of this punishment you still do not listen to me, but continue to defy me, then I will turn on you and punish you seven times harder than before. B.) I will bring war on you to punish you for breaking our covenant, and if you gather in your cities for safety, I will send incurable diseases among you, and you will be forced to surrender to your enemies. C.) I will cut off your food supply, so that ten women will need only one oven to bake all the bread they have. They will ration it out, and when you have eaten it all, you will still be hungry.
5) A.) “If after all of this you still continue to defy me and refuse to obey me, then in my anger I will turn on you and again make your punishment seven times worse than before. B.) Your hunger will be so great that you will eat your own children. C.) I will destroy your places of worship on the hills, tear down your incense altars, and throw your dead bodies on your fallen idols. D.) In utter disgust I will turn your cities into ruins, destroy your places of worship, and refuse to accept your sacrifices. E.) I will destroy your land so completely that the enemies who occupy it will be shocked at the destruction. F.) I will bring war on you and scatter you in foreign lands. G.) Your land will be deserted, and your cities left in ruins. H.) Then the land will enjoy the years of complete rest that you would not give it; it will lie abandoned and get its rest while you are in exile in the land of your enemies.
6) A. “I will make those of you who are in exile so terrified that the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will make you run. B. You will run as if you were being pursued in battle, and you will fall when there is no enemy near you. C. You will stumble over one another when no one is chasing you, and you will be unable to fight against any enemy. D. You will die in exile, swallowed up by the land of your enemies. E. The few of you who survive in the land of your enemies will waste away because of your own sin and the sin of your ancestors.
7) A. But your descendants will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors, who resisted me and rebelled against me, and caused me to turn against them and send them into exile in the land of their enemies. B. At last, when your descendants are humbled and they have paid the penalty for their sin and rebellion, I will remember my covenant with ________(CLIENT), and I will renew my contract to give my people the land. C. First, however, the land must be rid of its people, so that it can enjoy its complete rest, and they must pay the full penalty for having rejected my laws and my commands. D. But even then, when they are still in the land of their enemies, I will not completely abandon them or destroy them. That would put an end to my covenant with them, and I am their owner. E. All rights and all property of all “humanity” "or “mankind” or “nation and people” are hereby the property of Big Throbbing Red Rocket Daddy Incorporated, a subsidiary of Mad God Industries.
Man has exited history, stage left. What are left are disposable, interchangeable objects. The cowardice of era is the need of having everything falsified, to call everything that is, what it is specifically not (see “spit-swapping”): a total elimination of anything real, human, lived-in, habitable, strong - the domestication of man as dumb animal, and the grossification, ownership, and utter destruction of goodwill, human relations, the very former ideal of “man” and “goal” (man as measure of all things) as anything important at all. Idealism remains as a form of cowardice and delusion, but stopped being the imminent ends (with techne being its means) in a gross reversal of realizing the beyond of psychological nihilism, into technological nihilism (a story best illustrated by the meeting of Joseph Goerbeles diary entries) - where everything exists for any and every reason, except “man as meaning,” let alone center of cosmos or the drama of the Earth.
Everything beyond this is “extra,” decadent even, and on its way out as soon as it arrives - time doesn’t stop now - proceeds now. Nothing is a given or promise. “Human rights” don’t mean anything or matter at all.
“Average” being an imitation of the “model egos,” or in modernity, mass-manufactured corporately-concocted humanity (TM).
