Tossing and swinging human beings between phobias and philias based on their inherent ideology of homogenisation

 

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Those scripting any political narrative realize to do away with the outdated dichotomy of Left and Right because life, especially socio-cultural and economic life, has many dimensions each having its own dynamics and in addition there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.
