Man shall not live on identity alone! I can't help but to notice that most of the "As a.." generation, young ppl using identity affiliation to signal authority for their statements, are essentially Philistines when it comes to culture, tradition, and history. As such, identity /1
became nothing but a claim to power and authority. A barbarian of Roman origins using his Romanism to empower his/her Barbarianism. What does identity mean when one doesn't engage with it, draw from it, and tries to add to it? Identities are arguably the most valuable human /2
cognitive artifact ever created. Many of them took centuries, millennia, and countless human lives to slowly and painstakingly build and create. To reduce them to a power claim in social games is one of the most sacrilegious insults to human decency. What does culture & history/3
really mean if it's about memories of which you are not a part, on a path to redemption for which you don't really care? Identities were turned by our modern Western world to nothing but different cards on a board game. The "As a.." Philistine is, as a matter of fact, an /4
identity seeking individual, acting in a parasitical way towards human treasures. Some of the identity-less, mostly of Western Christian background that was the first identity to be demolished on the alter of universal righteousness, proved to by sly in playing the game. They /5
readily convert to another identity, minority religious or sexual identity, in order to enhance their hands. Their conversion is merely a way to obtain the authoritative statement of "As a.." Thus, I believe that we, people with solid identities, need to disrupt the game but /6
neutralizing the prospect of political/social power of our own identities while preserving it and guarding it rigorously as the monumental human achievements they r in culture, arts, tradition, religion, and transcendental meanings. This specially applies to ancient ME identities
We must not allow memories of "victimhood" to be open for acquisition by those who seek victimhood status.
