At one time, I watched a small piece from a mediocre film based on the mediocre disgusting play by Edward Albee, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, which has nothing to do with this talented English writer. The play is not just untalented, but sickeningly boring and disgusts any normal person. Two incompetent “actors” Elizabeth Taylor and her husband, then non-husband, then her husband AGAIN, Richard Burton, actually play themselves, without being able to do anything else: Continuous scandals, bestiality, rude abusive speech, mutually addressed from her to him and from him to her, that’s – the whole content of the play ang movie.
The same note is dedicated specifically to the fear of loneliness, which is very common among people. I’ll tell you right away that not only am I not afraid of it, not only do I love solitude, but I just NEED it!
Arthur Schopenhauer:
“Who doesn’t like loneliness, doesn’t like freedom!”
I agree with him on this!
Why are so many, if not the vast majority, bipeds so afraid of loneliness?
But because they are DUMMIES!
A corporeal meat shell filled to the brim with a spiritual vacuum!
“Nature, as we know, does not tolerate emptiness.”
Now, this permanently gnawing feeling of inner, IMMATERIAL emptiness causes suffering to the humanoid dummy, because THERE is NOTHING to OCCUPY ITSELF WITH!
THERE IS NO INNER INTERESTING AND EXTRAORDINARILY DIVERSE WORLD!
The hollow men are trying to calm this gnawing feeling with EXTERNAL HYSTERICAL and FEVERISH activity. But this is only an appearance of relief, since the inner void cannot be filled with EXTERNAL pseudo-activity, you can only temporarily DISTRACT your attention from the inner devouring void, but only FOR a WHILE!.
It is a well-known fact of life: Many outwardly very active citizens, deprived of this euphoria – stage property, immediately wilt, shrink and quickly fall into an ordinary, warm-swamping and mentally desirable insanity.
(In the “Soviet” jargon, stamped by dogmatic linguists. this was called “LACK OF DEMAND.” A very characteristic, purely Soviet word for a hundred or two million Soviet COGS).
Next question:
Where did this inner emptiness come from?
It arose in early childhood, when a child, trying to answer himself to a lot of ambiguities named “WHY,” suddenly discovers a wonderful loophole: Instead of difficult and honest (and often downright painful!) in order to find the answer to these “whys”, the child can simply “LABELING” it by attaching to it the first template dogma that comes to hand and has already been prepared on the mental shelf! Imitating the way of “thinking” of his parents and all other “adults” around.
And thus immediately “answered” the next question!
That’s lucky,” the child who made this “discovery” thinks, “DON’T THINK ABOUT IT! Since this is just extremely unpleasant, constantly disturbing smooth and calm thinking, engaged, as it should be, exclusively in solving familiar tasks of a purely biological nature!
AND THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE DOING JUST THAT!!!
MAINTENANCE OF THE BELLY AND GENITALS!
And nothing “Extraneous”!
Get out of my mind!
The Psychological Law of Archimedes is triggered immediately:
“Any unusual or unpleasant thought, immersed in consciousness, is pushed out of it with force proportional to the “volume” of its strangeness or unpleasantness!”
So we come to a flattering conclusion: We replace the vile word “Dummies”, mentioned earlier by this vile Esprit, with the complimentary “Archimedeans” – that is, in relation to citizens who consistently observe the aforementioned Archimedes’ law in their “thinking”.
(Let’s forget the Esprit supplement “Psychologic” for convenience and peace of mind!)
And all the “dummies”, like the fools in Bulat Okudzhava’s song, became the bearers of the proud and clever name ARCHIMEDEANS!
Let’s go, brothers, to the yawning heights of labeling!
That’s how the associative chain arose from the fear of loneliness to, as much as, Archimedes’ Law!
Your ways are inscrutable, SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS!
