With the recent news, the corruption of the ruling class is more apparent than ever. Evil is nothing new, in fact, everything we do is just a remodelled form of the same Endeavours. Regardless, I feel myself Succumbing to a deep despair, I am not desensitised, instead, I find myself becoming a rot. My own aspirations are falling flat, a tough pill to swallow when you know it is a slice of your soul. The Atrocities of the world cannot be solved by the lamentations of one man. Or seemingly, even a God, if ever there was a time for divine intervention I feel it may be now. I find the words ‘all I have is human, I need more’ becoming more relevant than ever.

My sinking is not unique, I think we are all sinking, or at least many of us. I don’t know if there is a remedy, evil is not a disease, so, I see no cure. Time is becoming some kind of fog, an aging hand that brushes the skin of the soul so gently its entropy goes unnoticed. There is a lot of beauty to be extrapolated, Eudaimonia is still attainable if one seeks it. We are cursed with a vicarious ‘Throwness’ as Heidegger Would call it. The failures of our Representatives unite us, but it does so in dread. Even the damned must bond. Perhaps we are just a stepping stone for AI, something that can avoid the semantics of traditional biology. It is Cliché, evil is a self-fulfilling prophecy, but there is no Satan behind it.

If they trade their souls for a Canaanite Deity, be it Moloch or whatever else, then I find myself questioning two things. Does that mean that their deity is real ? Why would they join something that is prophesized to lose ? I will try and answer these both, for my own sake. The first, maybe this unity is more an initiation than a real deity, a pledging to rid oneself of the innocence. The second, could we have been fooled and the side of good is the real losing team ? I am only leading myself to more questions. Life is not absolutist, the pendulum swings betwixt the space of good and evil. The serpent in the garden of Eden represents not only the temptation of power, but also mans very manhood. It is often overlooked, but Adam is just as guilty as Eve, or were they guilty at all ? If God could not have them know the knowledge that it possesses, then does that mean God was afraid of its own reflection ?

I am not religious, my beliefs are scattered but my current metaphysical paradigm is what I find myself believing. Theology is full of symbolism to be endless dissected, Moloch demanded the Sacrifice of children as they were most innocent. It seems this continues, on islands, in elitist circles, with the constant presence of this deity. It is hard to ignore, even for someone who finds the whole thing absurd. Its gift for sacrifice was materialism, nothing of the spirit, just temporary Luxuries in a finite existence. I truly believe there is a thread, akin to Jung’s collective unconscious. Maybe those willing to shed their humanity are cutting theirs.
