Beliefs of Cannibals
The system of cannibalism relies fundamentally and primarily on nihilistic assumptions and a pessimistic outlook.
The belief of the postmodern cannibal is that life is an ever-expiring win/lose system, where the remnants of something are giving way to nothingness, and we must struggle to attain what is left by stripping others of what they have got, whether privately by capitalism or publicly by communism. In this worldview, if you recognize the orienting generalizations, the Universe is breaking apart and destined to dissipate into a dead multiplicity, and, as a result, we should prioritize beliefs centered on emptiness, the absence of any true value, and immediatism, the “power of now.” When one holds these kinds of beliefs, it is inevitable that one will come to the conclusion that in order to get for oneself on must take from others. Thankfully, this is not at all how life, the Universe, or rewarding priorities actually work out, at least in the long-term.
Life is not really a win/lose in an overarching system of general decline. While it is easy to fall victim to such a false belief while the cannibals maintain dominance, and if looking only at mechanistic phenomena, a look into the world and processions of biology and ecology demonstrate that it is actually mutuality and cooperation that are responsible for driving living systems forward. That is, it is the win/win function, where each can provide something the other needs in a complementary and off-setting synergy of reciprocity, that leads living systems to flourish. The complementary off-setting of such a synergistic reciprocity allows for such things as nutrient cycling to occur at a greater velocity, and the increase of such velocities in turn drive the ecological system toward a climax condition. This is why mutualists are often understood as ecosystem engineers, and why even non-mutualist ecosystem engineers are participating in complementary off-setting and synergistic reciprocity in the larger symbiosis they partake in in their communities, mutualism and symbiosis more generally often being matters of degree rather than strict delineations (while symbiosis includes mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism, even parasitism and commensalism have a mutualistic element to them insofar as parasites help to maintain population levels at healthy levels and transfer genes horizontally and commensalists induce no costs to set-off. Arguably, parasitic or predatorial relationships between humans can be considered to also set-off or clear on some level of account, though we wish to bring the cannibals to immediate account. It helps to know that mutuality provides the basis of life, and is present on some level in every relationship, in order to work toward such ends of a more pure result).
Despite what popular scientists have to say, the Universe is not just heading for an inevitable heat death from which it cannot rebound. The singularity before the Big Bang (or whatever version you prefer) did not appear wholly ex nihilo, but is located within the superpositional aether of eternity and is the white hole version of the ultramassive black hole that is the Big Crunch. Together, the Big Crunch and Big Bang compose a Big Bounce or Big Pulse. Before the Big Bang singularity was us. We occur both before and after the Big Bang, because the Big Bounce is absolute while our position is relative to this absolute and is extended in its monopolar field. While the larger Universe may (or may not) be demonstrating an overall tendency toward entropy, suggesting movement toward a Big Rip or Big Freeze, from a presentist perspective, this inference results from the mechanistic methods of physics, which have been insufficient to explain the organic processes in biology. As biological beings, we are not driven by the process toward the Big Rip/Freeze, but the process toward the Big Crunch, the process of syntropy, which suggests eternalism. As such, it is not entropy that governs the Universe and explains the existence of life, but syntropy. Fatalist cosmologies established on nihilistic eschatologies are bankrupt.
The postmodern acceptance of the metaphysics of emptiness comes from its Orientalist and Theosophical influences, themselves enamored with Tibetan and other forms of Buddhism, as well as with conceptions of the placeholder zero as they come from out of the East. Overlapping with this is the outlook of immediatism, which can generally be traced to Crazy Wisdom schools such as those found among the Tibetan Buddhists, and which promote an extreme presentist worldview whereby the only existent taken to be real is the immediate, ever-passing moment, this being similar in some respects to the Greek Heraclitus, but with a much more nihilistic flavor. With our cosmology and ecology sorted out, clearly in favor of something over nothing and of eternity over naive presentism, this whole worldview falls apart, informing only those parts of experience that owe themselves to entropic processes, and not those which give life to organic beings and the Universe.
Unfortunately, the cannibalistic worldview, passed along by various cults and secret societies, has initiated and otherwise infiltrated and co-opted just about every institution of learning, from academic to religious institutions. This is why false philosophies and religions such as entropian scientism and the “Creation ex nihilo” Abrahamic traditions are pushed so vehemently onto the population, echoing the Theosophical worldviews, themselves ultimately stemming back to Roscicrucian, Jesuit, and further back Shamanic origins, most probably and influentially those of Siberia and Tibet, such as are remembered in Tengriism and Bon.
Cannibal EvolutionCannibalism was practiced early on as a means of taking nutriment or perceived spiritual powers (such as mana) from the consumed. This may have been a family member, a tribal elder, or an opponent in war. Whatever the case, cannibalism was intended as a means of taking something left over from the deceased, this sometimes driving the purpose for killing. While there is much to be said of intrafamilial and intratribal cannibalism, our focus here will be on cannibalism of those falling outside of such relations, cannibalism of this sort being more related to conquest than of preserving the powers of loved ones.
Cannibalism of the sort connected to conquest was...
