Humanity is one because Truth is one. Reason unites us. Deliberate in good faith even with madmen and tyrants… and the Good will follow.

There is a profound difference between the kind of human unity I am advocating, accomplished by communication and creation of common meaning, exercised in good faith and without ideological impediments (this is actually an objective condition of consciousness, always already in place but merely denied by our irrational impulses and dependencies), and the kind of unity of obedient drones that social engineers may seek to accomplish by deception and force. Culture is an impediment to both, because it is an imposed dependency, not a moral choice of the individual. Conformity is always irrational and immoral, because it delegates the authority to think and make moral choices to others. The desire to impose conformity is itself a supremacist ideology, but also an expression of the fight/flight instinct. Social engineers seek to control others only because they need it to control their own anxiety. Rational, moral humans are inherently free, and have the courage to be free, to take full responsibility for our individual moral choices, and only this freedom truly unites us as a kind, and only this is a source of our moral status as humans.

Humanity is the Ground of All Meaning

All your rights, all your values, including your value as a person, all meaning and sense, derive from your belonging to the Human kind: the kind of beings who possess reflexive conscousness vis-a-vis one another, and the capacity for rational thought, by means of which WE are able to collectively generate meaning. Humanity has the absolute priority over tribal, racial, cultural or ideological identity, because all these value-categories derive from and are conditional on being human, above all else. To ascribe any priority to your tribe, race, culture or ideology over the value of humanity is to negate the ground of these values, and thus to contradict and negate yourself. Tribalism, racialism, culturalism and ideologism all contradict themselves, negate themselves, refute their own priority, their moral status, their meaning and values. In order to be wholly yourself, to be a fully integrated being, to be fully human, absolutely valuable, of inviolable moral status, one must first abandon all contrary value commitments.
BREAKING NEWS: The efficacy of strategic collaboration between NATO and Russia has greatly improved over the past week. Ukraine is currently being depopulated at the rate approaching 1000 males per day. The massive deployment of military police to various regions of Ukraine signals an impending total mobilisation (mass abduction of males of any age conducted at gunpoint for the purpose of cannon fodder), to give every Ukrainian the opportunity to become a legitimate military target for the Russian flame throwers, conventional artillery and missiles. Human rights groups raise privacy and gender-equality concerns.
The NATO-Russia “conflict” turns the old adage into a farce: with enemies like these who needs friends.
If cultural knowledge were the secret of survival then we ought to accept that bacterial cultures survived longer than humans because of their superior culture. This is actually not that far from the truth, except that culture is not ‘knowledge’ but conditioning, and when the conditions change it becomes a lethal liability. Culture is also a source of irreconcilable conflict, leading to extermination by other cultures, which has incidentally promoted the evolution of a special property of humankind: humans (who survived despite of their culture) have the capacity for rational thought, for discerning sense from nonsense, which allowed us to periodically transcend our conditioning. https://t.iss.one/NormalParty/2893
Rogan, Musk want RFK to debate Covid vaccine safety with Hotez. They will not discuss the elephant in the room: the intentional killing of the few for the alleged benefit of the majority, by coercing them to submit to a procedure that was expected to kill some people. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/why-vaccine-mandates-are-unethical
They want to “close the gap” between cultural preferences of races and genders, because these divisions cut through your home but do not affect the class-hierarchy. They do not want to “close the gap” between the ruling class and the slave class, and least off all the gap in education between your children and their children.
The Victorian government seems to be violating their own law, now that they were notified about the meaning of the black and red flag and the ideological equivalence between the Nazi “blood & soil” doctrine and the locally endorsed, nativist “people & place” doctrine (but they also ought to have reasonably known): https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/open-letter-to-government-regarding
All those supposed Nazis we have recently seen on the streets of Melbourne doing the Nazi sun-salute are acting strangely even for Nazis. The Nazi ideology is centred on the 'blood & soil' doctrine, according to which their 'original' race cannot exists apart from their ancestral, original land, but this bunch is in a land far away chasing drag queens instead. A Nazi who is not defending their ancestral land from non-original people makes as much sense as a communist who does not care about seizing the means of production. I suspect the job of these uncharacteristically acting Nazis may be related to the nativist supremacist Voice referendum, preparing an act of racial violence to create an emotional reaction favouring the Yes vote. You didn't think that Albanese will just roll over for you; he is playing a long game here and the strongest cards will be played last (not necessarily by him but in support of his nativist agenda). If Albanese wins, if the Voice wins, then Nazis everywhere win a massive ideological endorsement by the Australian people, and they know it.
Let the violent ones deal with the violent ones, they always do, and those who know better should step aside and let the deterministic forces of nature keep one another in check. We do not have to stoop to their level and degrade ourselves. This is how humanity is preserved even in times of horror.
I expect that in the future any information-system corrupted by generative AI will be worthless, once the customers realise that the information it spits out is untraceable and nobody is liable for its errors.
Has anyone else noticed government officials referring to Aboriginal language as “Language” (proper noun), and to English language as “English”?
Why not go to Zero? Why deny political voice to toddlers? If you can tick boxes you can surely vote, but if you want political choices being based on maturity and experience then I suggest limiting voting to people 50+ years old. Also, anyone who idolises indigenous cultures is committed to the elders (1-2% of the population) making all the decisions.
“Reality” has meaning only insofar as it is independent of individual choice or preferences; it is the realm of being that our choices and preferences are subject to, either validated or refuted by. When a male says that he “really” is a woman, just because he “chooses” or “prefers” to be a woman, he contradicts the sense of reality, denies reality in principle, which implicitly invalidates her assertion.
The LBGTQ transgender doctrine discriminates against and invalidates the identity of those whose gender and gender expression are based on the innate sense of difference from the opposite sex. This can be demonstrated as follows: https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/gender-identity-on-trial
Any statement implying that indigenous people have a superior social status or value compared to other citizens is an expression of nativist supremacism, a core feature of Nazi ideology. It is not possible to transcend tribal or racial resentment without acknowledging that All humans share the same ancient ancestors, that we are all related, that we are all the original owners of the Earth. Reason unites us. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/open-letter-to-government-regarding
A smart ruling class installs individuals of a minority race in the most prominent administrative positions, knowing that the majority will blame the race of the administrators instead of the ruling class for any abusive policies.
By revealing contradictions in the ideologies that support tribalism and simultaneously emphasising humanity as a universal kind, united by the capacity to reason, we can bring humanity closer together irrespective of any programmes that seek to divide us. It is crucial to critique only the ideology, not the tribe or race who profess it, not to alienate the people but refute the ideology that infected their minds. In essence, the goal is to cure people of a kind of affliction.
The capacity to reason, to make sense and generate meaning with others, entails our belonging in every human domain. Conversely, our contradictions, the non-sense we carry within us, subverts and diminishes our belonging. The most common category of non-sense is associated with violations of the principle of sufficient reason, which is the case with Every ideology.

People have the right to believe any non-sense and call it their 'identity', but others are under no obligation to acquiesce to non-sense. If anything, we have the obligation to identify non-sense as non-sense, which is to say, as nothing at all.
