Western-centric ontology of the left: Part 2. Social Constructions

Humans don’t exist. We know that evolutionary change does not happen categorically but gradually. The dog didn’t become a wolf in one day, but it took several generations, and the moment when the dog became something separable from the wolf was decided by humans. Meaning, what makes a dog a “dog” is not evident by itself but is decided by humans. This means that the categories “dog” and “wolf” do not actually exist. They are merely social constructs. If we apply the same logic to humans, who are also the result of evolution, it becomes evident that the category human doesn’t exist either.

It is important to remember that the human category existed before biologists. It’s not their creation. The human instead seem to have its origin in Christianity and western civilization. Compared to Hindu ontology who supposes there is a connection between all animals through reincarnation and there are different categories of Vishnas creations (humans). Christianity abolishes all these categories but says that we are all one and all the same and something separate from all other animals.

The western-Christian construction of the human is mostly put to critique because it constructs all humans as one category and rejects the existence of any races. This critique has been well-formulated and even the sloppiest arguments are most of the time correct due to the former’s rejection of evolution theory, making it impossible to look foolish in comparison. But what is rarely critiqued is the existence of categories itself.

Critique of different forms of categorization do exist. It is mostly done by academia (the left), who claim that they are“deconstructing” concepts such as race and gender. But these “deconstructions” are not philosophical attempts to disprove the ontologies of race and gender, but are instead studies on the origins of the categories themselves and their supposed political motives. The political motive, of course, always being something evil that can solely be solved by the bureaucratic class.

The left, however, never critiques the most fundamental construction of them all, the “human” category. Why would they stop at race and gender? Maybe it’s because they do not have the theoretical tools (evolutionary theory) to deconstruct anything. You can deconstruct the existence of race and sex with evolutionary theory too. But they don’t.

But let us suppose for a moment that they know of the implications of deconstructing the human, and therefore avoid it.

Through the human construction, there is an assumption of “sameness” between me and you. Since you and I are the same, we are put to the same expectations. These expectations are sometimes lighter or none when it comes to disabled people, animals and minorities. One of these expectations is that you and I should be governed by the same laws. If you kill someone, then you should go to jail, and you’d expect the same should happen to me. But suppose that I’m an alligator, a non-human, let loose and I kill someone. My punishment would however be different. I will probably be either executed or not punished at all. But I’m for some reason held to another standard. All this is due to the difference we make between humans and non-humans.

(Now that I think of it, disabled people and minorities are treated like our alligator. Either they are killed (treated harder) or treated more leniently).

But we know that the categories “alligator” and “human” are social constructs. Why can the alligator get off with a more lenient punishment or put to death and not in jail?

Let’s have another example. No one expects an alligator to work and pay taxes towards humans. Because they are not humans. Why should the alligator be exempt of paying taxes, while I as a human should, when these categories don’t exist at all?

The human construct is a tool for the communists and the bureaucrats to infringe upon my body and property. Since they and I are the same, I, for some reason, have a responsibility towards them. Meaning, being born a human is akin to being born into slavery.

The foremost defenders of above mentioned categorical slavery, are the communists and the bureaucrats. They are the most dear adherents of Western-Christian (WC) ontology. It is on the foundation of aforementioned that they are able to steal other individuals money and wealth.

Through rubbish pieces of propaganda, such as the deceleration of human rights, they propagate for unlimited stealth of private property and infringements on your right to your own body. But how can something that doesn’t exist have any rights? And why should I be forced to believe in your social constructs if you don’t believe in other’s (such as Allah or the prophetic nature of Mohammed)?

What we essentially come down to is that the current the current dominating ontology about the world, the WC social construct of the human, is nothing but a lie that is ferociously exploited by the left to violate your property and body. All this while they bemoan you as ethnocentric, eurocentric and an old white man, while they (who are mostly younger fellows) are the foremost defenders of ancient western-christian lies about the world!

Falsifying socialization through philosophy

Epistemology concerns itself with questions regarding the nature of knowledge. Is knowledge objective or subjective? How does one articulate knowledge? Is it possible to acquire knowledge? All these of these questions are concerns of epistemology.

Different fields have different epistemic foundations. Islamic theology assumes that everything said in the Qur’an is true, and therefore nothing contradicting it can be true. But the foundation on which Islamic theology articulates knowledge from, is extremely shaky, due to the nature of God being unfalsifiable. We can’t prove its existence. Therefore, trying to understand the world through the Qur’an would be stupid, since the odds of the Qur’an being true is extremely low. And the Qur’an isn’t the only source which rests its’ epistemic foundation on something unfalsifiable, making it only one source out of many.

The epistemic foundation of social psychology rests on the assumption that an individual human’s psychology can be affected by its environment. So far so good, but that assumption itself rests on the existence of the category “humans”. And that is exactly what makes the epistemic foundation of social psychology rubbish.

Evolutionary change happens gradually, not categorically. Therefore, categories does not exist in reality. The difference between a wolf and a dog is purely decided by humans. Even if we had all the data, it wouldn’t be evident which exact progeny of the wolf was the first dog. The criteria we use to differentiate a wolf from a dog is in the end purely subjective. This means that the “dog” does not exist independent of us humans, and therefore, not independent of evolutionary trajectory.

But does anything exist independent of the evolutionary trajectory? Yes. The fields of physics and chemistry can without a doubt be articulated by other organisms, because they are always the same. The same theories can, and most probably would, be constructed independent of evolutionary trajectory.

However, social psychology is weak. The category human is a social construct, not something that we can observe independent of us humans. And it is a good to remember that the category “human” precedes evolutionary theory itself. It wasn’t Darwin, Lamarck or Mendel who laid the ground for the category “Human”. Rather the “human” is a construct of Christian-western civilization.

Now, evolutionary psychology is a whole other story. You don’t need the existence of any category to articulate knowledge about a certain population. It works on dogs, humans and sharks equally. Evolutionary psychology, just like physics and chemistry, can exist independent of evolutionary trajectory. Even an alien can articulate evolutionary psychology and use it to understand its own kind without any trouble, while the same can not in any way be said of social psychology.

The funny thing is that, we can’t falsify God, but we can falsify the existence of the Human. This means that the epistemic foundation of social psychology is weaker than the Qur’an and the Bible. And what is funnier is that, the same side which accuses everyone of Ethnocentricity and whatever, are actually the ones defending the remnants of Christian lies in academia. A mad world indeed

Where did the intellectual working class go?

The current working class European has an IQ below the average. You will not see complicated theories such as marxism and structuralism expressed by the working class. Marx, Althusser, Foucault and Gramsci are all absent in the library of the working class, that is, if they even have a library. But were the working class of the past like this? No.

The Swedish idea historian Ronny Ambjörnsson studied the ideas and ideals of sawmill workers in 1880-1930 in northern Sweden. The majority of the people who worked in the sawmills were also members of local civil society organizations, mainly in the temperance movement. They’d meet up for discussions regarding politics, have book clubs and have educational activities. Ambjörnsson writes that the ideal that was present in the sawmill society was that a worker should be educated, conscious and accultured. There was also a very strong class consciousness between the workers, and they leaned heavily towards social democracy and socialism.

But what happened to the working class? Why are they not so smart as they used to be? Why did the ideals and ideas change? Why do they vote for anti-immigration parties and are so conservative?

As soon as education is available for the general population, poor individuals with a higher IQ advance quickly in their respective societies. The most commonly known example of this is poor Ashkenazim and Asian immigrants who outperformed native US whites on average in education and income, and of course still outperform them today. But these people were not dumb when they were poor. Poverty doesn’t make you dumb.

The socialists of the past still exist, but they are now inside your government. They stepped up from the working class, only to become bureaucrats. They still yapp about stealing your wealth, but from a position of power.

Now, the question that I’m interested in is what this population would do if they were not in government jobs. Do we evade all the Ernestos, Fidels, Maos and Vladimirs by bribing them with government jobs? I think we do. But even then, they don’t sit still…
