The End of Politics is Nigh

We are so accustomed to the idea that politics should be at the center of attention that we cannot imagine any other way. Nevertheless it is going to happen in the fairly near future, I predict.

The brokenness between people is at an extreme. Community is shattered. Everyone is looking for a home, a role, for fellowship, for relief from the madness of pain, apartness and meaninglessness.

We have reached the ultimate levels of mass media, and thus of Pop Culture.  Facebook was the penultimate phase, because for the first time in world history, all the women in the world (or as many who cared to participate) were plugged into together.

In any group of human beings, the women collectively define the mores of behavior. This is done by the mechanism of feminine consensus. The hierarchy of men exists to enforce these codes, but it is the women who decide what it is, any point in time, for a given group.

In any group setting, women will seek to find consensus on any important issue. This worked fairly well when we lived in small groups, but now because of social media, we have entered an unprecedented meta-state which is highly unstable, and the masses of plugged-together women grapple constantly with consensus over almost every possible issue imaginable, never reaching any stability, since it is impossible in this kind of over-plugged-in configuration. It will simply get worse, and it becomes more unstable, it will result in ever more increased demands to obey some consensus that doesn't actually exist. Nothing can hold in this type of environment.

Instagram is the omega phase, since it shifts from female-to-female verbal negotiation of consensus into a sheer mode of attention-getting, which is the basest of the feminine states of being. Our current edge of Pop Culture is exalting and rewarding the egregious of attention seeking in the feminine, just by raw imagery.

This is not only highly unstable but toxic beyond our imagination, as it exists (like the consensus seeking) on a scale unprecedented in human history. It is destroying entire cohorts within generations, as young women are intoxicated with the ego-power of attention they have over men (who are mostly road kill in all of this).

It is already destroying lives like a merciless forest fire. We seem helpless to stop it.

But it will end. It cannot go on much longer. How will end, and what will come after it? That is the question I ask myself a lot.
