Tossing and swinging human beings between phobias and philias
based on their inherent ideology of homogenisation.
The
latest one being to study the gender of farts and its contribution to carbon
footprints..
The latest one
being Wokeism and its obsession with global warming.
The West resorts
to tossing and swinging human beings between phobias and philias based on their
inherent ideology of homogenisation.
The
craze for homogenization and the claim of panacea are the ills that have marred
evolution of human excellence to a very great extent.
These two are the result of presumptive
psychological fixations.
The
former is pushed ahead with various justifications while the latter is pushed
forth out of some presumptions, mostly ethnocentric pride due to indoctrinated
identity based on some ideology predominantly either religious or political.
Nature
is variety and variety is natural. Denying and defying reality cannot always
work.
Throughout
history it has failed miserably.
Be it the Roman
Empire’s greed to spread its tentacles [ be a Roman in Rome] ; be
it the attempt to homogenize religion which failed with Spanish
Inquisition; be it Nazism or Colonialism;
all have failed.
Once these
attempts at homogenizing cultures, beliefs, political ideologies have failed,
the West resorted to Trade and Economics and
tried to classify everything under either Capitalism or Communism,
politically the Right and the Left
.
Those scripting
any political narrative realize to do away with the outdated dichotomy of Left
and Right because life, especially socio-cultural and economic life, has many
dimensions each having its own dynamics and in addition there are also those
emanating from intersectionality and interactions and collectively these show
up themselves with varying degrees of intensity.
Fortunately,
life and all its concomitant evolutions happen despite and beyond the blinkered
narratives peddled by status quo addicts of trite dichotomies and have made
visible various options between, besides, beneath and above those dichotomies,
and these may strengthen the wings and enable the discourse to soar into
unbiased zones and offer some solutions to many present-day problems faced by
humanity.
It is
unhealthy if we do not realize that the human race is far more than the
opportunities it is consciously aware of as Jean Paul Sartre provides the example of the young
man who puts his hand on his first date's hand. She, who does not really know
him yet, must either leave her hand there or remove it. Either choice reveals
something not part of her consciousness. We are far more than the limited
opportunities present in the world.
