The Objective

The Source of Conflict & The Seeds of Destruction

Vikid hated it when people talked about “Western” and “Eastern” thought. Those huge expansive blobs and catch all that stemmed from the 19th Century Oriental projects.

But then he thought better of it. All discourse was based on some juxtaposition, the need for contrast without which we couldn’t distinguish a bowl of warm water from a thick creamy soup.

Where contrast couldn’t be found naturally, we created it artificially. That was the biggest contradiction in the Equity program. The further you tried to equalize people (especially by force or ideology) the more they would themselves react to maintain their differences, in one way or the other.

The greatest competitors are always on the same level of hierarchy.

Pakistan hates India and vice a versa not because they are so different, but because they are so similar. And whatever differences are there, it has been cultivated by their elite to maintain a different identity.

To retain the contrast and to retain Identity.

Russia versus Ukraine. Iran vs Iraq. Protestants vs Catholics. The list is long.

They’re practically the same people in close proximity, chasing the same objective. That’s the source of conflict.

Models hate other pretty bitches far more than some run of the mill toad or mother of three. Fashion is the way pretty girls try to look different amongst themselves. Men don’t care, 3 billion years of instinct isn’t fooled by Versace shoes or Chanel sunglasses. All men have x-ray vision.

Two men desiring the same woman (or an oil well as a matter of fact) is more likely the source of conflict, than any ideological bent. Ask Helen of Troy or Saddam Hussein.

The Left versus the Right. They are closer than you think. They fight because they seek the same Objective. Control of the levers of Government. They fight to control The Law because The Law is currently a system of Injustice.

It doesn’t treat people equally but seeks to impose equality, which in the meaning of Equity.

Take from the rich and give to the poor. Hiring quotas of people based on their sex or color.

Enshrined in Law as an Objective.

So Diversity is Our Strength but under only one condition, in the pursuit of Naturally Diverse Objectives. Which cannot be imposed by definition.

In the last century, under the rubric of globalization, the proliferation of the internet coupled with the rise of the technocratic authoritarian state, all of this has come to pass as the perfect storm.

The American, Italian, Chinese and Bangladeshi worker are equated by the global market place. No one cares where their iPhone is made (or if it designed in California).

The internet has become the private network of a few mega corporations. FAANG plus a handful of others. They control and synchronize a global mind by limiting what you see while ensuring you have the same desire as everyone else. Go on Instagram, millions of men flock to the same women (who curiously all look the same also).

In sports, everyone love the same few heroes. Heck everyone is watching the same thing.

Anyone who believes in any kind of border has been labeled “far right”. Using force to suppress differences. Cancellation, threats and jail time are used effectively. The greatest crime now is thinking different or having a different Objective.

If we are all the same then the logic goes that any difference is caused because of system racism, patriarchy or other such wrong-think.

And the moral objective is to equalize everyone by removing said differences… and as you do, the people react to maintain their difference. Often, violently.

So the seeds of destruction are sown in the Objective itself.

By seeking Equity. You bring about disaster.

And that’s,
