| Yes, I was right all along and to add justice to observation - perceive that Katie made only a single post. Inertia won again - so much for people and their intentions. Enlightened Autocracy, that's what she needs, because without the constant threat of a cracking whip she will be nothing but a bubble of hot air. "I'll do this, I'll do that, I'll help mankind, I'll be more altruistic, I'll go on a diet . . ." blah blah. All social posing, all to make them feel good about themselves. All amounts to nothing. They say A, they do B. When you confront a person like Katie with the lack of result, she will just shrug it off. She has not been brought up with the proper moral conditioning: the conditioning that will make her feel guilty and inadequate when she falls short of living up to her word.
Enlightened Autocracy by an objective, rational and intrinsically motivated mind. That is what she needs. Only 1% of the people are intrinsically motivated. The rest move out of base impulses such as fear, peer pressure and the craving of an immediate or sensuous reward. Civilization went down hill from the moment it accepted egalitarianism as a premise. Those 99% are labour-power. Pretty much directionless by themselves. But under the supervision of an enlightened mind their combined labour can give rise to something useful and great; something that can withstand the test of time.
However, as I pointed out nowadays there is no proper moral conditioning ("everyone makes his own truth and what is a proper vision is all a matter of perspective"). Thus, Katie's narcissist mind, folded back upon herself as she is, will not accept putting her labour-power in service of the enlightened mind unless she is forced to. Rational persuasion cannot break their narcissist mindsets, since they falsely believe that all truth is relative and thus they put their egos before reason, logic, and the facts. This leads to prioritizing a display of good intentions above consequences to reality. "Let us not burn the villages of thieves - because who knows one day a genius child might arise from it!"
In the past it was about strong and capable men. When the circumstances were tough, they went outside into the rain and mud to fight bears and wolves and build a cabin for their labouring wives. If someone had to be killed to obtain the cabin, it had to be done. And the wife appreciated him for his skill with the hammer and his strength with the sword. Nowadays, because of our abundant wealth, we keep even the people without skill and strength alive or else we feel guilty about ourselves. Not personally but collectively, anonymously; through the welfare state. This is the Christian complex the Western society inherited. The Romans killed when it was necessary to sustain the place of their empire on the top of the ant-hill. Afterwards, they offered the spoils of the war to reconcile them with their gods after the bloodshed. The Christians taught that not the aristocrats, but the humble slaves were really the beloved ones of God. It inverted the morality.
This overload of Katie's replaces the beforementioned "real challenge of life" with phoney posing: "Look at me being social, standing up for the kid who gets left behind, publically. Privately, I gossip about my friends because my dresses are better looking than theirs." This overload of Katie's we have on our hands today has to be pleased in the egalitarian assembly we call democracy. This leads to rediculous consequences; We all know China digs out every last bit of resources in the world by making deals with tribe-leaders and dictators, never asking any tricky questions about censorship or human rights. Yet the West is afraid of being called "Colonial," and so they spend millions on educating the poor in third world countries while everyone knows they will slip back into their inertia the very moment the West turns the back on them. But if you say this in public you are socially unaccommodating. So you hide behind false premises to justify yourself. Your overcivilized society has taught you to lie. We are so overcivilized that meeting strangers feels unnatural, because face it; that's why all of you PUA's came here.
Don't we all see the Katie's? Don't we all hear them around us? "You know . . . I really should care more about myself. I'm a person who always jumps in when someone needs help. Always standing ready for my friends . . . It's not always good, I should take more time for myself. I should think more of me, for once, even if it goes against my altruistic nature. Else I end up burning myself up." Yet these people are the ones who call all their friends to prepare an evening dinner, and then cancel, saying they're sick, because they have an opportunity to go out with the boss. These are the ones who take you to a bar, then at the end say: "Shit, I forgot my purse, oops! I take it it's not a problem if you cover for me tonight?" When you hear them talk, you will not say: "Your self image is inaccurate." Instead you say a vague "ah-ha" and nod. You don't want to point out their shortcomings to them. The Romans knew piety. A quiet and determined servitude. We know only loud-mouthed smalltalk. We have allowed this mentality to develop because our society is so wealthy, and thus we don't need everyone to perform at the peak of performance. You don't want to piss off your friends. You want to avoid a painly confrontation with the truth.
We can see this consequence every day, surrounded as we are by drones driven by glamour, following empty memes and the whims of fashion. However we are all narcissists so even when we speak of the drones, obviously that is someone else and not us. When we affirm that there is so much mindlessness, an overwhelming presence of inertia, and affirm that a new vision must rise up, we picture ourselves as the voice of this vision. Pleas for collectivist ideologies, if you hear them today, whether Communist or National Socialist, are mere extensions of individual expressionism. Perhaps the only exception to this is Islam, given that it is not a Western doctrine and that it never accepted the egalitarian mindset which the West, in all its decadence and wealth, foolishly embraced. The only thing that can break the inertia is a looming, impeding danger that forces us all into following the call of the Enlightened Autocrat. May he soon rise.
