The age of stupid

Nietzsche says, "man prefers to want nothing, not to want", this lapidary Nietzschean sentence announces the human condition supported by fiction, collapses the ontological myth of being, and moves the truth towards subjectivity.

It is not an easy thing to accept that the history of man is constituted by his fictions, by his myths, and by the ontological impossibility of having moral facts. The teleology of man is translated into the era of emptiness, since ideology was the content of the narrative that allowed contrast and debate, now the hedonistic pragmatics, the search for pleasure beyond the body determine the neurotic common place.

If before ideology made possible the diversity of fiction, the fall of ideologies defined the dimensionality of meaning driven by the death drive, and the compulsion to repeat, today's man becomes a kind of living-dead, that his The purpose is to be eternally ecstatic outside the heavy commonplace of consumption and tragedy.

The meaning that is diversified by the ideological options, comes to be replaced by the primacy of a simplistic grammar that points to a particularly alienating system of the economy, and the emancipation of politics to a single task of legitimizing the processes of exploitation and surplus value. Nominally, the passion of life becomes a geometry of the impossibility of reaching the completeness that offers the promising momentary objects of canceling the incomplete being that allows the psychic life.

The contradictions do not subscribe to the double standard of the alienating exploitation of the neoliberal capitalist grammar, and the promise that there really are enlightened facts that allow the cancellation of the demand to be or the honorific closure of a death after a multiple life meaning. .

Human nature continues to be docile and with a herd instinct, freedom is contrary to the fear of immensity from weak senses, and the capacity for imagination reached its peak, leaving only vestiges of past glories of omnipotence of thoughts, the limit of the real prevailed leaving us in silence.

But it is not an easy thing to see ourselves in that debacle and involution, we constantly reveal ourselves to accept that our imagination has run out and that the fictions made things disappoint us because they serve the death instinct and not the survival instinct.

Today we pass from oblivion instantly and the present convinces us with another illustrated romantic nostalgia that brings us to tears before the images of our devaluation, so that the old ideological glories run into the techniques of war that do not even allow us to see the face of the supposed enemy, with the satisfiers summarized in injectable substances or tiny virtual devices that instantly isolate us from the other.

The monstrosity of communication that has become an instrument of power, that tries to stamp out a tacit acceptance that things are like that, as we live in the West, flooding us with news, images, slogans, and sentences to forget what happened a short time ago time, and globally sing in unison "stop the invasion", even having fresh blood in our soul from genocides perpetrated in honor of freedom and global security.

We are between the legs of the horses, a small part overshadowed by the arrogance and paranoia of Putin, and the vast majority, forced by the media to accept the defense of the right and freedom of the words of the immaculate Biden.

We are facing an animal creature that has gone from the splendor of its evolutionary climb to the stupidity of the clumsiness of an animal with weak senses and a distorting dependence on the other.

There is no way to save the human species from stupidity, perhaps it is its consubstantial part, killing for pleasure, dominated by libido, determined by the pleasure principle, frustrated by the reality principle, and slave to its death drive.

Not even defining "the era of emptiness" can satisfy a way of determining human behavior, I think it is better to say it, "the era of stupidity", is the best way to define it, how to understand that its will continues to subject the development of your brain? How do we continue reading ourselves with a few archaic and impossible concepts, rational, civilized, moral, sociable, etc.?

Recently, a war broke out in the heart of enlightened Europe, and a nationalist extremist came to teach politics to the enlightened Europeans, and even to scold and reproach them for the loss of their courage and bravery, to summon them to war, to the glorious past of his martial marches and his nationalist cheers in the face of the threat of the hordes of barbarians from the east, emulating Hitler he asks them to take up arms to exterminate the Russian empire, a Ukrainian nationalist extremist who walks among the rubble and corpses of his fellow haughty And defiantly, your sacred mission to save the West deserves those sacrifices. Although he is a puppet of a wicked and sadistic man who whispers in his ear and praises him to continue cleaning up and weakening the enemy of the West, the Russians.

A diabolical being who smells of sulfur wherever he stands, and who shamelessly has his main "goal: to topple Putin, a war criminal and a pariah in world forums. The US and the EU escalate military aid to Ukraine so that kyiv's victory undermines to the Russian president in his own country” (1), evidently his goal is not peace or avoiding more death and suffering to the people of the nationalist extremist leader, who today at the peak of acting, films his best film, “The dead Ukrainians who brought down the Russian empire.”

How not to call this stupidity, when anyone can see that some disastrous world leaders whose clothes are stained with human blood, and in their revolver there is no room for the thousands of deaths caused by their bullets, whether they are the ones who use the fanatic and suicide nationalist extremist as a chess piece and weaken the enemy on the world geopolitical stage.

How not to see, https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2022/05/07/627673bffc6c83792f8b4585.html that not even one death of a human life is worth justifying the incompetence of reason and the decadence of politics to carry a nation into a bloodbath, as has happened now in the Ukraine, and throughout human history.

Civilization is reduced to good manners for eating, until then, the rest is fertile ground for appetites and aggressive and sexual human drives, there is no way to return man to the top of the evolutionary pyramid of living beings in the earth, its place is the subsoil of unicellular organisms that have only one indication, in this case, death and suicide.
