PRACTICAL WAYS TO RESURRECT A DEMOCRACY ON LIFE SUPPORT (PART 3)

What if… somewhere along the way the Western World made a terrible choice. It is possible…

What IS impossible is to create a system to govern humans, implemented by humans without taking into consideration the human nature. You may have more luck implementing it to emus or giraffes or aardvarks.
Aristotle created a work which on paper sounds fantastic for a human race consisting of …..righteous people. Maybe they were back then but today they ain't…

The lack of courage, the inability to read between the lines, the failure to detach emotion from logic (all are characteristics of the human race) may have led to crucially wrong decisions…

Consider this…

"Rousseau rejects original sin, Christianity's pessimistic view of man born unclean, with a propensity for evil. Rousseau's idea of man's innate goodness led to social environmentalism, now a dominant ethic of American human services, penal codes and behaviourist therapies. It assumes that aggression, violence, and crime come from social depravation-a poor neighborhood, a bad home. Thus feminism blames rape on pornography and, by a smug circularity of reasoning, interprets outbreaks of sadism as a backlash to itself. But rape and sadism have been evident throughout history and, at some
 moment, in all cultures.
This book takes the point of view of Sade, the most unread major writer in western literature. Sade's work is a comprehensive satiric critique of Rousseau, written in the decade after the first failed Rousseauist experiment, the French Revolution, which ended not in political paradise but in the hell of the Reign of Terror. Aggression comes from nature; it is what Nietzsche is to call the will-to-power. For Sade, getting back to nature (the Romantic imperative that still permeates our culture from sex counselling to cereal commercials) would be to give free reign to violence and lust. I agree. Society is not the criminal but the force which keeps crime in check. When social controls weaken, man's innate cruelty bursts forth. The rapist is created not by bad social influences but by a failure of social conditioning. Feminists, seeking to drive power relations out of sex, have set themselves against nature. Sex is power. Identity is power. In the western culture there are no nonexploitative relationships. Everyone has killed in order to live.Nature's universal law of creation from destruction operates in mind as in matter. As Freud, Nietzsche's heir, asserts, identity is conflict.Each generation drives its plow over the bones of the dead."   CAMILLE PAGLIA

So we can't really complain for the state we are in since we could not read between the lines of what Sade (a true free spirit) penned.

We're all at the mercy of the 7 deadly sins
We're all at the mercy of the elements in this world we're in
We're all at the mercy of each other's little whims
And we're all at the mercy of the little man within

If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses.
Except for pharmaceutical poisons, there are essentially two drugs that western
civilisation tolerates. Caffeine from monday to friday to energise you enough
to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from friday to monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison you are living in.
