Pillars Of Degradation



Body

Fixation upon the physicality of a being.

The same obsession with surface and appearance, or seemingness, can be observed throughout the artificium.

Degradation of Wellness What is wellness?

Currency

A word now strictly associated with money and monetization, currency is the "condition of flowing."
From Latin currens, "to move, run or flow swiftly."

State or fact of flowing from person to person changed to the sense of continuity in public knowledge.

🗠

Meanwhile, the natural flow has been replaced by a game of speculation and profit.

Degradation of Flow What is the flow?

Dogma

Dogma is "a settled opinion" or "a principle held as being firmly established."

Almost all of the artificium is dogmatic, even if insinuations to the contrary are popular.

Its purported diversity lays primarily in the variations of dogmas and doctrines at one's disposal.


“Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.”
Buckminster Fuller

Degradation of Discovery What is discovery?

Education

To educate is to bring up, train, or rear. A word of Latin origin, and a term otherwise primarily used for farm animals.

Education is indoctrination and acclimatization to the principles of A.I. (Artificium Incantation)

Degradation of Teaching What is a teaching?

Food

Much of the food offered in modern markets merely resembles aliment.

The term "food" lives on while many of the items offered as food are meanwhile little more than fodder, or simply edibles.

As such, the food industry is a great benefactor to medicine.

Degradation of Aliment What is an aliment?

Law

Not only does a legal dictionary contain uncommon words and phrases, but the familiar and "well-known" words may likewise be defined in unfamiliar ways. Legalese is its own language.

This is one of the ways of generating a cognitive dissonance and splitting that-what-is into an informed management level and the uninformed common people or plebs, who use the same words entirely differently, ignorant of their actual (or legal) meaning, and ignorant of the larger picture. Ignorant even of the medium picture!
This ignorance is not a result of intelligence, or lack thereof, but a consequence of meticulous processes.

Degradation of Natural Order What is natural order?

Medicine

Some doctors are healers.
Some are entrepreneurs and merchants, who have simply chosen medicine as a lucrative venue.

In the artificium, healers are rare.

⚕ ☤

“It's not a health system, it's a disease system — already there, in place.”
Dr. Michael Nehls

Degradation of Healing What is healing?

Military

The nurturing of division, continuous regard for the (hi)stories of conquest and strife (see education), and the nurturing of fear-based mindsets as to maintain and uphold a war-profiteering economy


“In Haig's presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as "dumb, stupid animals to be used" as pawns for foreign policy.”
From "The Final Days" by Bob Woodward

Degradation of Variety What is variety?

News

News-casting

🄽

Suggestions, gossip, and entertainment
worded as if they are information

Degradation of Discernment What is discernment?
