The vulnerability behind the facade
Authoritarian conformity has no vulnerabilities if its self-unaware captives choose to be ruled by it and offer no opening to Self-Awareness. Except for two:
- Vulnerability one:
There is no Logical argument to support it. It’s all made up. Explanation that makes sense, speaks for Reality and Truth, that role-models sensitivity and gentle loving kindness, service and creativity, instead of mindless conformity, insensitivity, and cruelty, has far more potency than absolutism that’s a one-dimensional logical deformity — Gollum. An impossibility in worlds that are shared whether Real or unreal. An obvious con job that’s held the best minds in science, philosophy, psychology, and theology under its spell for far too long.
- Vulnerability two:
The barriers to understanding appear to be firmly defended by the reflection in the mirror. But in truth are defended by deception that has no answer to the Reality and Necessity of Free Choice and its role in the inevitable restoration of Self-Awareness. Against minds restored to independent judgment by the free spirit of inquiry — by questioning with Logic and Love the Why and How of the way things are, — they’re defenseless.
Calling a spade a spade
“Kasper Gutman’s Folly” attempts to explain the roots of this phenomenon with theory that continues to evolve and might, someday, prove useful. By deconstructing the logical absurdities that lure the self-unaware to its”cause.” The preservation of a logical impossibility: one-sided definition. A reflection that casts no reflection. King Absolute, a.k.a. King Arrogance. And thereby deprive it of its “power.”
By exposing authoritarian self-glorifications, like “supremacy” and “objectivism,” for the flimflamming that they are. By calling authoritarian carnival barkers to account for perversions of ideals, like “freedom” and “liberty.” By calling all attempts to legitimize and weaponize authoritarian arrogance for what they are: violations of Reality, Life-Creation, and Worth itself. Bullshit.
The face and farce of authoritarian invulnerability
Unless humanity gets serious about the Why and How of our situation, unless it’s willing to question long-held assumptions and pampered biases, our situation and its causes will continue to manage us instead of the other way around. We will continue to re-enact the consequences of self-unawareness and its captivity to a deformed image in a mirror. Madness.
Like self-deluded fools, puppets on a string, until we put independent judgment and Free Choice to work, that can’t be surrendered. To get at the facts behind fiction, the truth behind the image. To understand how the violation of the Soul — rape — by the arrogance of self-centered puppet-masters can be tolerated. So that they can replace innocence and vulnerability with guilt and unquestioned unaccountability, the face and farce of authoritarian invulnerability.
