>>305977>Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.Through the lens of everyone being a 'one mankind' human, that suggests to be the case without further digging.
There isn't one mankind (there is, but not in the way that is commonly held), there is mankind and /x/ shit and multiple factors.
>One that recognizes perceptions of beauty come from those in powerWhat is beautiful is in the eye of the beholder and lots of peer pressure. The typical population have some degree of instinctual inclination towards beauty and learned beauty.
To hold the reigns on nearly all media almost put's the capstone on learned beauty.
>knowing full well that the more power they accrue, the more they will distort and abuse it and hate themselvesThat is for people who care and have some semblance of moral consciousness.
Those that don't care and have no moral inclinations have no feelings one way or another in any real depth. They will 'happily' lie, cheat, steal, murder, rape and more on any whim or fancy.
There is no reason for those types of people (and evil systems are memetic blights by their nature all things are worse off in comparison to any non-evil system or people) to not indulge in horrific activities if they have enough power.
Those that have no moral fiber will take the slight of being removed from anything as a deadly attack on their character and life. They will use everything to torturiously end or pervert that group.
The solution to that is quite simple. If we weren't in the thick of things.
Instead three things have to be done accumulating power, removing the blights, and inoculating against blight (ponerogenesis).
So beauty the key fact is that there is some instinctual sense of beauty in at least some of the population. Also the mandated bureau of beauty is anti-fun, it is asinine. They have to plunder beauty to exemplify it and subvert it.
>a return to tradition;It's possible, but not in the way commonly thought of. To have the traditions means to become one with heros and heroines.
As you've said the world is fractured, the past is fucked to an extent, and evil is around us. It's not in total chaos yet and many have at least a little of something they want to save.
>But who's to say? How do we refer to it?Systematically the definition is bulky and cumbersome to categorize
everything. Post modernism tried to break everything down into quanta (small fundamental pieces) failing that pokes holes using logic and twisted fridge world logic.
The human experience is one of stories and the metaphysical. When you say pic related, I understand that the picture is related to the words about to be said. When the picture is of a pipe that is intended to provide thought of what is a pipe that is a story with deeper meanings.
They've tried to dissect what reality is and they have failed, no closer or deeper or enriched than tens of thousands of years ago on this. Instead they muddy the waters with false wisdom and half logics.
Postmodernism is a symptom of extensive ponerogeneis and our human a drive for stories and metaphysicality. Even if the story is as simple as 'haha printer goes brrrr' or 'ironic' humor. They've dictated the 'majority' to follow them in boxes and patterns. Many people don't want trouble; That's exactly how they want it, because then they can create the trouble for their solutions.
The future is either death in their web or total freedom. The next age is of the neighborly niche a seemingly counterintuitive step. But tight nit communities and other neighborly tight nit communities and individuals pave the future.
The next age is one of heroics in everything. The age of stories.
Because reality is being fucked over hard, objective reality has been butchered by (((them))), reality and stories have been disintegrating into each other (and separating at times) since the beginning.
Their total information campaign, like all things they do, will lead to their failure.
>we must recognize that the old world is goneIt is, but our heroes live. Our stories and tales and fantasies are with us.
Right now what is real and not real is thin, if someone made an Uncle A painting livestream it's taken seriously. That's what has happened time and time again because the blight exists.
Tales, and stories exist along with reality the same type of area (and more).
What has to happen is a rejection of evil genesis at all times, not always with a sword but also with a word (or two) and friendship.
TLDR Hyper(Community)Nationalism is about to occur in full force. History, tales, folklore, news, stories, information, everything has to be held tightly and perfect copies shared almost freely.
Those that want to change for the worse have to be totally and utterly rejected and ejected. Whilst keeping an eye open for backstabing behavior.
>Are we willing to have our whole lives be one big comedy?It always has been, and only You (and us ect.) can change the punchline, and the madlib inserts.
