Sponsor | | disconcision | Apr 7, 5:01pm | There was a time 3.5 billion years ago when life - all life - experienced true freedom. A soup of replicators each pursuing their own will to power.
Then came communication. It began innocently enough: unicellular beings discovered they could obtain mutual advantage through chemical signaling; warning of danger and alerting to food.
Communication begat specialization. Cellular 'colonies' realized that by subsuming their individual metabolisms to a larger whole, that whole would become more then the sum of its parts. This specialization begat interdependence.
Interdependence begat compartmentalization, entities composed not of individuals, but of 'roles'. Every cell became a slave; disposable. The organization, the Institution, had become the dominant level of selection. In an unending war against the external, our skins became the trenches; wave after wave of cells born just to die. And for whom? The internal 'privileged' cells are still absolute subjects of their externally imposed chemical programming, awaiting their pre-ordained cell death when their functional role is concluded.
Compartmentalization begat alienation. Subsumed by an uncontextualizable whole, cells began to forget why they obey their chemical marching orders. Cracks in the web of interdependency allow explosive and self-destructive bursts of growth, malignant and uncontrollable. Alienation begat self destruction.
So: Here we go again. |
