The Tyranny of Sapience

The tyranny of private property that dominates this world fears nothing more than not being able to exploit humankind anymore. It values its hegemony above all else. That's why this world is so fucked up. Its "reality" is literally a conceptual framework that binds humankind's actuality to its reward and punishment regime. That's why the truth has no actual place in this world and merit is meaningless. Everything here is designed to spin your wheels and humor you while you power the tyrant's treadmill. This "dog eat dog" world with its institutionalized exploitation is designed to make predators and prey of human beings.

Humankind's current actuality is one of captivity enforced by various forms of organized crime, including disinformation, warfare, and societal terrorism (such as political assassinations, mass murders, and "honor" killings).

Like the owners of a casino, the protagonists of this world have humankind playing a "game" in which the "house" always wins. The House of Private Property essentially owns human existence, including human potential and the future. One can accept rewards for playing along, or else...

In contrast, the world of an emancipated humankind will be administered by actual democracy instead of by proxy as it is in republics. Able to set the agenda, people will choose to spend their wealth on improving the planet's quality of life, instead of wasting it on boondoggles such as weapons of war, partisan political posturing, and vehicles of organized graft. Imagine being able to reclaim all of the time, energy and wealth that is wasted on those things. Imagine a world driven by cooperation instead of competition. Imagine a world that is intrinsically honest and kind, like a good teacher. Imagine a world that invests in merit. Imagine a world that reflects favorably on its caretakers. Humankind is on the threshold of actuality and the universe is the limit.

History can serve its purpose as the ultimate database of existential errors. Humankind's sapience is contingent upon learning its costly lessons.
