Flippant Remarks about Egocentrism and Ironic Poetry
It is an error to assume that all egocentric people are flushed with the pleasure of themselves. Do well when you consider the possibility that more egocentric people suffer from depression than drown in pleasure from self gratification. Learn from the Shakespearean human and his tormented monologues.
Egocentrism is what happens to you when your ancient ancestral village is burned to the ground and you are displaced into the big white city. Egocentrism is for the metaphorical orphans and the holistic homeless.
The egocentrics have no authentic concept of community. We often confuse it with another word for “encounter group,” “population”—or “customer.”
The English language (among others the world over) is by definition an egocentric, materialistic language. Don’t forget to capitalize I and look forward to that person, place or thing. For billions of you, your next thought will be in the English language so be very careful…
Study the history of empires and languages. Know the basics. Language shapes consciousness itself—a lack of concern for this system is a sign of captivity (and very ironic poetry). Look again at why Tolkien invented a fictional language to envision a pre-Roman, pre-Latin past…
Imperialism cannot stand without egocentrism. This is why it is so “important” for you to be a fundamentalist, literal, materialistic, “level-headed” person instead of a fundamentalist, symbolic, metaphysical, heaven-headed person. The sages of ancient Africa and Asia/India understood this relation thousands of years ago. That’s why they had to form temples and monasteries to get away from you crazy mufukkas. When the monks and the nuns ‘come out of the temple’ and start to raise families with renewed and renewing organizing principle—as in the days of the Old Kingdom in Africa—they will threaten the existence of empire, these New Kingdoms and new orders…
It is important for you to not understand what is written here. To do anything else will change the world forever. Words must needs be made idle in empire.
