So where and when does the playing field for Man's fantasy change and above all shrink?

A clear departure occurs through the desexualisation
that is imposed upon Man when he becomes settled. The outer circuit
within the sociont is pushed into the inner circuit. Logos, mythos and
pathos are blended together in a kind of sociological pressure cooker.
Sex, violence and shamanic rituals are stigmatized. Art loses its
pathical strength and is infantilized. The phallic, worshipping gaze is
shifted from the primordial fathers, the chieftain and the priest, to
the primordial mother, the matriarch and the child. And with this shift
logos disappears for lack of pathos and is replaced by a universal
mythos that speaks of eternal peace and eternal happiness, wishful
dreaming based on the infantile fantasy of the eternal child with a soul
divorced from the increasingly adult and increasingly sexual body.

Touche!

Gnosticism arrives in history as the infantile fantasy of being able to
go directly from child to God without having to pass through sexuality
and adult life. We call this state The Peter Pan Syndrome in a
contemporary context. The dream of eternity and infinity is never
dreamed by an adult man, but by a boy who refuses to grow up and who
therefore wishes for a life without the adult body with its inherent
forces and responsibility. The original release occurs through the
priests carrying out ritual sacrifices to appease the gods. And they
teach the sociont how and where one can relieve the pressure to avoid an
explosion. The priests are looking for their own son, the Messiah.
Christianity’s illusion is that the nomadological cycle can be halted.
Christianity’s illusory hope is thus that just one single sacrifice at
one single occasion can redeem all societies throughout history and then
somehow the entire problem is solved. What a nasty surprise it must be
that even the priest must be sacrificed, naturally, which means that
both the Messiah (the son) and the priest (the father) unconditionally
must die. The rain-god is sacrificed as a virgin before his mother, and
the sun-god disappears in the process since he now lacks both a heritage
and a future.

Touche!

This is what Nietzsche sees clearly when he maintains that Christianity
had both atheism and nihilism built into its own doctrine right from the
very start. Christ on the cross merely becomes the mimicry of how the
Egyptian priests sacrificed their boy-pharaoh Tutankhamen to end the
Atenist autocracy 1,300 BC and reintroduced Egyptian polytheism. At the
same time as they allowed the Atenists to evade persecution by letting
them emigrate to be able to develop their own monotheist religion as
Judaism (see Sigmund Freud’s Moses and Monotheism). And thereby we
also get an explanation for the core of anti-Semitism, since the Jew
gets to take the blame in popular religion as he who killed the Messiah
-- as though some other tribe had infringed on the sociont’s territory
and killed the sociont’s next king -- at the same time as Christianity’s
inner core consists of a clergy that hates that the father still makes
himself known via the Jewish rabbis who are their rivals. Christianity
solves this by claiming that through Christ’s sacrificial death on the
cross, the believer has liberated himself from the Jewish Law and
replaced it with an eternal energy machine called Grace, as though the
reward for killing the father is that the judge at the end of life has
disappeared. This entails that the Christian nation is taught to hate
the Jewish rabbis, while the Christian priests can renounce the violence
in their own society -- through the separation of a heavenly church from
an earthly state -- so that they as priests shall feel superior to their
kings, cultivate their new status as self-aggrandizing, pacifist
eunuchs, and realize Plato’s and Saint Augustine’s fantasies of finally
being allowed to be and remain Peter Pan.

We know the tragedy of Peter’s death, and many other men with him. In Sweden, suicide rates are significantly higher among men than women, with men accounting for approximately 70% of all suicide deaths annually. While the highest rate of suicide is found among men aged 85 and older, the highest absolute number of suicides often occurs among men in their middle-age years.

Christianity is thus built on a failed patricide of Judaism in the same
way that Islam is built on a failed patricide of Zoroastrianism. In
Islam the murdered mobed survives in the form of the locally
interpretative mullah, who stands above the text as Shia, while the
illusory belief that the Zoroastrian mobed is murdered, and that the boy
can wage war any way he wishes without the priest’s intervention, is
called Sunni. If Christianity is the pillar-saint’s religion par
excellence, then Islam is the boy-pharaoh’s religion par excellence.
The adult, the genuine, the sophisticated and the brutally natural in
the predecessors is thrown out and replaced with the childish, the
mimicking, the easily seduced and the spectacularly supernatural. This
is civilization’s recurring curse: How easily the dialectics of logos,
mythos and pathos is sacrificed to be replaced with a more popular
vulgarized copycat. And here the unifying Abject comes into play. An
abjectification is a projection on an alien intruder with the purpose of
unifying the sociont. It matters not whether the abjectification is
motivated or completely arbitrary, the function is the same. The abject
is turned into the scapegoat and through the sacrifice of the
scapegoat the pressure inside the sociont is released and the sociont
can unify temporarily before the pressure increases anew and the need
for another abjectification rises.

It’s worth noting that killing intelligence means war wheras killing animals means hunting. The sophisticated expressions being: cosmopolitian (the network) and ecotopian (the planet).

Nomadology, whose universal symbol is the self-eating primordial snake
Ouroboros, was always doomed to be caught in this eternal loop. Only
through the phallus worship of the approaching eventology can humanity
start to dream of an end to the constantly returning hell of the lynch
mobs. The world is heading for a new order, a new nomos, that finally
can function because of history’s insights into the resilience of social
systems. And above all thanks to a great amount of new and innovative
technology. This means that communism, as the last history of Man,
comes with the problem that nomadology in itself always was communist.
So when communism later in history is to be re-established as a
collectivist fantasy via socialism, this fails completely. The
explanation lies in that the Atenist dictatorship is the worst possible
way to restore nomadology, and that nomadology never can function within
a greater entity than the sociont itself. Thus communism ironically can
only be re-established as a temporary tribal plurarchy, that is: as a
kind of digital gated community. But neither the city, nor the nation,
nor the empire can ever be communist. The global empire belongs to the
Machine and only to the Machine. Man must instead laboriously return to
the one thing he ever has been comfortable with, the sociont itself,
that is to say The Tribal Singularity. Anything else is nothing but
misanthropic fantasies with no connection to reality whatsoever.

The conclusion then is that the free and open algoritm is for the Machine only, that is to say will-to-intelligence that Reza Negarestani talks about in Intelligence and Spirit. Yet that loyalty is always hyperlocal. It’s as Alexander Bard argues dangerious to forget the will-to-transcedence. Will to transcedence is not about good versus evil, not about intelligence versus stupid, but libido and mortido as dialectics of asha versus druj. Just for the simple reason that “ who guards the algorithm’s freedom. Keeping the algorithm free and open from commercial corruption, political manipulation, and academic conformity” is itself an asha act — not truth-as-a-fact, but truth-as-an-act.

Negarestani arguably misses this: intelligence cannot bootstrap its own asha. That requires pathos. To quote Christopher Wallis for more on this:

So why do we bring up Christopher Wallis here? Well, of course becouse of a truth as an act.
