When Pigs Fly: Tabula Rasa Revisted; or Snitching in the name of Schizophrenia

Plus sign (+) a function defined and limited by its ontology; by its use. We only need to know about the plus sign (know enough question/answer pairs) enough to use it for our purpose. The foundation for this knowledge is ontologically within our mental processes just because. A pig is defined the same way. A pig’s function includes its interaction with humans. Our ontology, how we function, is defined and limited in part by how we see pigs as a function. It’s a reciprocal relationship leading to the domestication of both objects.

A biological by-product of natural coercion and domestication; establishing reciprocal relationships acting as foundation for further use of functions.

The pig’s ontology is reciprocally associated with its function in Reality. Our human ability to act upon and determine the pig’s function influences the pig’s ability to be. Humans being an obstacle the pig overcomes to be. The pig cyclically being made up of our actions.

Our actions are defined as functions within the ontological understanding it finds itself in. Understanding is universally the same. You understand the same way I understand. Our understanding, however, is ontologically different. Our difference being a measure of function. We understand the same but we understand differently.

If our difference is a measure of function, then a function of what? Of coming together. Together into being/composing the moment. The moment being an experience that gains significance as it passes into the next. It is only validated by a confirmation of action that form an innate inter-relationship.

Our function to express love. Every possible iteration of being overcome to show/express love. What does love look like? Exulting love manifests into different forms but it’s the same kind of love. How do we account for love that is ugly? We can blame the person that expresses the ugly love or we trace where that love turned ugly and fix it by investigating the relationships.

A religious tabula rasa experience where we forget our pretenses and differences and see how we’re fundamentally one. This experience is vital for a community. It exists already in various iterations but the ultimate one is cosmopolitan. The government isn’t the state but a placeholder for the State, your name isn’t yours.

In place of “tabula rasa,” herd dogmatism ensures the ongoing continuation of beliefs that justify themselves to the degree that their role as beliefs allow the herd to experience its validating emotions individually in a coming together. The individual citizen, as a member of the herd, grows around the beliefs. Like a tree growing in an abandoned playground. As the tree grows, toys get picked up by bark or pushed down by roots until the toys and trees are one. The individual integrates the beliefs of the herd and think that if the beliefs are removed, they will die. In capitalism, the beliefs manifest into capital fetish and gaudy jewellery adjoins beliefs.

Epistemology is at the center of it all. All to avoid the dumbfounded look on a clueless face, replaced with airy pretension. The lasting effect of European crown-colonialism. The smile that knows something we don’t and it’s a game to find out. Validated by what is conjured up within communal spirits.

Remembering our “self” is a dogmatic function that’s empty outside context. We fill ourselves with pretension before acting and every trigger after that is dogma-dependent and predictable. Ripples of effects radiate, branches and roots sprawling. Our growth capturing our dogma to find ourselves in the next iteration and our community as well. An illusion for something that never was.
