I sometimes think that if these people suddenly developed the capacity for introspection, the sudden influx of self awareness would cause them to instantly implode like the titanic sub
Must. Not. Be. Intro— TOO LATE!

The bourgeoisie are not human
The most surprising thing here is that he knows this about himself.
That’s the thing, he knows it, but he doesn’t know it! It’s a thought that passes through his perfectly smooth mindscape and out of his mouth, almost by reflex. Like catching a ball without thinking about it. The answer is there, but he didn’t do it.
It’s superficially like a sage… but a sage is that way through a vague comprehension of their place in the vast cosmos and their dancing with the flow of all of nature and the interconnectedness of all things. We may all live in our own local environment and find it hard to see beyond it - but this guy’s in a perfectly frictionless bubble, at one with the inner heart of capital, a tiny parasitic microcosm.
Probably better for his sanity that he’s digesting his own brain.
I recently read that some think that the notion of conscience thought is a fairly new one for humanity. For most of our existence, it was believed that any thoughts that popped into our minds were put there by Gods, or Demons. We didn’t think of that bad idea, a Demon placed it there, it’s his fault. If it’s good idea, God gets the credit, not you.
Eh, Occams Razor. Either prehistoric people thought about their thoughts in a fundamentally different way to everyone now, or the way we think now also existed in the past. One of those is a smaller assumption than the other.
Also, it’s… a bit pat. Like looking at the pyramids and going, “But the geometry hadn’t been officially discovered in a written record yet, how did those ancient dummies do it?!?”
I’m sure right now there are a scary number of Americans who think that god is actually directly involved in making babies. If you’re good and do what he wants - you’ll get one. If you’re bad - you don’t. Of course it doesn’t work that way but it still does because god works in mysterious ways.
I’ve read similar, and to my totally nonexpert thinkin’ it sounds plausible. We had a sensory connection to the environment, and some kind of the ability to distinguish The Other, long before the capacity to articulate an I Am. That the early stages of that involved our brain speaking in the voice of the Other seems… efficient, dreamlike. Though perhaps a little interesting that the Voice of God is so tricky to induce nowadays.
This is the new thing they talk about at all the billionaire seminars, where they haze the new billionaires, by making them murder a baby in front of an audience. They have decided that things like introspection, empathy, Critical Thinking, conscience, etc. are just liberal notions meant to keep them from
earning,making, stealing MORE money.
You know what’s a modern invention?
Billionaires.
You know what should be an even more modern invention?
Dead Billionaires, with confiscated estates.
Look at his stupid fucking face. The enthusiasm of an over the hill adult that never receives negative feed back. The stupidest fucking shit you’ve ever heard rings as prophetic wisdom to this mushy thumb because there’s literally zero friction in his entire fucking life. His entire world is a creation of the modern world but he heard some fucking manopshere podcaster say some
i mean you get it I don’t have to type it all out
i mean you get it I don’t have to type it all out
I feel this every time I rage post, which is pretty much constantly.
I’m really smart because I never think about anything at all
when I see a hot lady I don’t hesitate I just cum in my pants and don’t question why and if I see someone eating some food that looks tempting I just take their food and eat it and don’t look at them because they’re not food yum yumOf course he has no introspection, his head is made from egg
Lotta unenlightened hexbears showing they ass. Open your chakras. This is what peak transcendentalism achieves.
Plato might have a different perspective.
The Billionaire Chorus scoffs and says “Who cares what Plato thought. What was his net worth anyway? Not much - right?”
Plato? The guy who built the video projector in a cave from a box of scraps or something?
No, he invented the plate, and thus named it after himself.
gottem
Pigs are too stupid to understand the concept of thinking and proud of it.
cool okay well now we know how his head got like that. mystery solved
Hey good news I have an invention that’s not modern
No no no, you’re doing it all wrong. This is an AI designed device that will stop you from aging, only available to an elite few and only costs a few million. That should get them lining up.
Hey, just like most comic book villains
You’d need introspection to have empathy I would imagine
I think therefore I am.
He is, though without thought.
They don’t want to stop to consider what they’re doing, or their instinctual humanity that they’ve worked so hard to suppress would overtake their entire system, and they’d leap off a roof.
