…How Culture resolves itself … battle of arbitrary identities.
Culture is a byproduct of the parasitic State feeding on the vitality and labor of the individual.
As a highly evolved and efficient parasite, the State lures and entices the individual with its facile and abstracted benefits while it ultimately destroys the radiance of the individual.
However, the Cultural beast has become malignant and is unable to be birthed into its evolved stage; thus it is suffocating with obsolescence and irrelevance amid escalating and perpetual acts of absurd and meaningless consumption as it thrashes about for legitimacy.
In all fairness though, it must be granted that the secondhand artifacts of Culture and the derived products of State can and do indeed benefit the needs of the individual through this de facto outgrowth of symbiosis; however, it must be made clear that under no circumstance should either Culture or State act as the basis and matrix for the Individual’s identity or logos.
In an ideal mode the Individual inherently and ultimately exists autonomous and independent of the confines and constructs of State. The Individual’s value transcends the pedestrian preoccupations of State and the superfluous trappings of Culture. Likewise, the individual’s identity stems from the fundamental core of being and source element of life.
It is this recognition of the potential of the radiant Individual that has enabled a few among us to illustrate the sinews of providence while the rest of us fester as fodder and perish as inert matter.
