Wet blanket Manifesto - Part 3

The hardest revolution and the red pill

19

Does the will to power that is inherent to the human form come without the mandated asterisks that are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth?

Sloth is curiously in there. One could argue that overcoming sloth is will to power in action. But that seems to be a surface level derivation.

Sloth is true power.

To be able to indulge in sloth, your will and pursuit to power must have consumed you so much. Which in turn means you have to consume without any restraint to feed it, fuel it and to let it be.

Sloth as in pure unchecked laziness is indulging too. The sin as understood more commonly than not. Sloth is also a pleasing of self. Questionable and regularly denounced as if it is the heights of crime but there is a deeper unobserved fact.

Overcoming sloth is only through an enhanced and driven will to power. But that will to power cannot and will not manifest itself without wanting pride or…

I have to interrupt myself because I have to push back what I am postulating there with the argument of - well why does it have to be the superlative. You can be proud but not demonstrate pride. You could be driven to accomplish more but it may not be synonymous with greed per se. The neutering, the convenient moderation or should I say the euphemism.

Black and white are not the only extremes. Grey is an extreme too. Grey is asking to be empowered. All the isms is in favor of a grey being recognized and accepted. Grey is being proud but not wearing pride. Grey is competition, the need to achieve more for the self, oh but you cannot box it into greed huh? Desire and the need to indulge in it whether it is food or sex is innate human nature not really lust and gluttony. That is a disrespectful, reductive or an essentialist approach to life. This is not so novel but as you would expect, envy is healthy - how about that for a self help book title, if it is not already there. Healthy jealousy is apparently a thing. Semantics huh, yeah I know I can give myself a middle finger and saying this is narratives and meaning spun.

All for the joy of thought, if nothing else, so I will continue.

The two ends of the spectrum is not a dead ego or persistent subtraction of self on one end and a lively self or individuation at the other end. In fact I am identifying the position of these two in the middle.

Linear deconstruction sets up the context and I am permitting that for this instance. So on one end there is the self that has nothing. The suicidal, the almost emotional and experientially absent suicidal self. Then in the course of that linear journey you reach the being absent of self but is still navigating for suicide is just an end to a pursuit that can be accessed at any point of time - so why not push it and experience what can be. Then probably comes the indulgent self, the convenient construct your reality and your truth to favor whatever the hell you are doing type of an individual. These are the consumers which obviously is everybody if binaries and superlatives and mediocrity are eliminated.

Let me root myself down into the contexts of this series and not step into others.

22

What are you actually at the heights of the influential being you want to be, as defined by the way of the world today?

You are only an advertisement. You-are-just-a-walking-talking-advertisement. You are to skipped in 15 seconds because no matter how clever you apparently portray yourself as, it is just a portrayal that favors you and therefore it is desensitizing.

You are an advertisement for Instagram, for LinkedIn, for YouTube, an advertisement for approval seeking, for validation pleading, for ignorantly confusing self branding as activism. Just like all the advertisements like that you bought, you are also being bought and this fulfills your involuntary but no less deliberate will to power.

23

The system has taken over. We are fighting some facades of capitalism that no longer exist or are constructed to favor the positioning of our self and self as a brand. The machines and the wheels are turning and you want them to turn.

I never thought I would use the following culturally influenced linguistic device. But none of you know to even the smallest extent what taking the red pill would entail. The red pill references you use are just versions of the blue pill that favors your reality.

24

So true capitalism is then the desire, the will to power. Will we ever create a revolution against it? My issue which I have explained to those that I converse with is like if the revolution is mine, I am still extending blue pills. I am still proposing systems.

The revolution I want is nobody’s revolution. You must want a revolution too but it should also be nobody’s revolution. I will negate my understanding if I delve two words deeper but in the context, that is as honest and accurate I can posit myself. I want to converse about this. I really do. I want to even be wrong. But I do not know who would want to read this far.

That is not me saying I need followers or readership. In fact the newest thing I learned about myself is I should and will destructively scrutinize myself if I am measured and validated by those two metrics. I should probably even deny myself that.

25

I want to explain the revolution and its method to be performed as a collective. The red pill. If not taken by many the pill is equivalent to absolutely depressing nihilism unless you are willing to pursue it. Even then it could be at moments suicidal and lonely.

Before I explain the methods, let me summarize it. The method to irrevocably trigger the revolution is by -

Simply being until dying.

You already don’t like it. But next time I sit down, I will explain.
