"I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving"

Normality, not the idea of a social norm, more the fossilized belief systems found in civilization. The sort of ideas which are so deeply rooted in the human condition that they have become a part of us. Those which allows backward priorities to flourish and inhibit the ability to prioritize the self over entities such as money or deities. In response to the norm - rather than step back and realize the error in our predecessors ways and attempt to fix the fucked up biosphere we are surrounded by - we take up our cardboard throne on our asbestos kingdom and send down the citizens to repair the foundations when they depreciate.

One norm, seemingly hardwired in our nubile brains, is the irrational individual importance we retain. We were delivered by God, to reap the land of all it's possession, and to create a bartering system which allows us to retain happiness from these stolen goods. This happiness is achieved by attaining commodities, solely designed to saturate sensual perception. The profit gained from this bartering system will eventually become a commodity in itself, people no longer strive to work toward an increased welfare of land, but to have a higher number on a sheet of paper. This paper being the working man's incentive to turn his back on the natural world and eventually detach himself wholly from reality.

Rather than a man's reward allowing him to achieve happiness internally through reflection and self-improvement, it washes away at his insatiable thirst for sensual and sexual immediacy. The man keeps drinking to satisfy this thirst and eventually becomes fully independent from his celestial fatherland. The paternal bond between Man and Earth which was once celebrated is now forgotten, all through the idea of abundant normality. The sheer size of planet Earth and the resources he possesses must be too much for just little old "me" to consume... but humanity's wants are limitless, so with enough time there is nothing little old "us" can't consume. In this sense we are essentially the worst of all diseases, working in a unit, sheltered by legal, military and monetary systems, eating away at the Utopian landscape of our only option of home. Fucking up the planet because we want to.
