Challenging the fallacy of being 'masters of our consumption'

 

Challenging the fallacy of being 'masters of our consumption': thus, being 'masters of our (false) freewill' 

We're neither. We're functionaries of 'higher order' principles, 

whose limits are there for the prospectively optimal functioning 

of this sensory platform-our bodies. Having subjugated our bodies 

to accommodate or submit to others imposed or solicited agendas, 

consumption in all its forms becomes the surrogate compensation 

for what we can't do otherwise kinetically. Yet, we still have 

the personal freedom of inquiry, analysis, deductions, and a 

trusting faith in the mechanics of our thought processes. 

In this realm of we have the freedom to have a deconstructive 

liberation from the ad hoc and arbitrary aspects of the 

temporal paradigms.


As functionaries of the higher principles for our prospectively, 

optimal function we don't have the prerogative of an absolute, 

but a contingent 'free will' that has a caveat of consequences 

when we exist extensively beyond the margins of the "conceived" 

design limits. 


Probably the greatest fallacy and fraud we've taken as a 

presumption is this prerogative of 'absolute free will'. 

I could propound on its social and cultural roots, but will say that 

it came from the measures of kinetic control of the resources 

for our consumption. 

 

Within that already circumscribed venue, the relative and myopic, 

provincial conclusions were the basis of micro-then-macro leaps 

of logic to smugly and hubristically justify the status quo in that venue. 

It's a deluding illusion of mastery, as the legacy of this epoch's 

cultural history has exhibited the systemic and anecdotal adverse 

consequences of such individual and aggregate attitudes of 'free will prerogative'. 


Our personal, social, and cultural state will continue to be the manipulated passions

of our false notions of consumptive indulgence, based on being 

the pejorative "lords", and "masters" of an individual and 

absolute free will.
