3- The Gods of civilized man are their creations.
You don't have to do much to understand this fact. the very questioning of an already established word, act, concept or idea sparks the understanding of this truth. An example:
Philosophy is known for criticizing everything from ethics to aesthetics, but what if you criticize philosophy itself, what happens? probably the philosophers will go against you in the same way that their critics were against the critics. there is an idolatry on the part of civilized man, of human creations. and this is necessary for civilization, as it sustains itself from them. It is important to point out that no civilization is born from the direct observation of facts, but from the deliberately manipulated interpretation of reality. it is from there that men will draw the bases for the creation of their forms of self-domination. the criticism of the very existence of civilization cannot be carried out, as it will quickly give the answer that it is useless. and that's a fact. nothing that modern human civilization manages to do will really last. plastic, which is one of the most resistant materials that man has managed to make, is consumable by a series of animals and microorganisms. radiation from atomic bombs decays over time, and there are countless plants, fungi and bacteria that consume radiation and regarding our constructions, most of them would not last even 600 years standing. literally, human social life is walking on a void.
