A Note On Freedom..

[Eremetic]

Just had a brush with someone else in these circles about the incel epidemic and how it’s manufactured somehow. The disagreement was over the idea of the A.I. takeover being prerequisite to inceldom, that all of which has been manufactured in the sense they are not naturally occurring phenomena, hence they were not created of out of the will of the people but rather outside, all of the organization was “extralegal” which would in turn deny the free will of human beings to create their own conditions. To shift the blame to outside forces is a complete denial of what it means to be human. Surely one might take a hard determinist outlook to recognize the former as being true while the later not being so true. Hence, what is the point of life if the former hold sentience over the latter it’s almost as if humans created A.I. to end themselves. Sad. In turn all technology is our own undoing. All organization is our undoing. We were freer as nomads living off the land.

however, noting that both Aristotle and John C. Calhoun noted that man has always been under government, there must be some restriction of freedom in all of our interactions, otherwise we would would tear each other to shreds. This is not to say Hobbes was right about the “state of nature” to think that every interaction wasn’t mitigated by a third party since time immemorial is unthinkable. Nor is man predisposed to violence, that violence is produced by the state itself, which leans more upon the theories of Rousseau that man was freer without order. Nay, such theories on either side is quite untrue, however governments function can be boiled down to the interests of only two parties and since there are others outside ourselves, metaphysical evidence notwithstanding, there has always been a reason to keep the peace. It’s only when civilization has to accommodate the rest of the world bureaucracy eventually unfolds and makes life unlivable, which is why so many young men are faced with destitute pessimism.
