Supremacy is A Problem

About this episode

Supremacy is A Problem Niles Heckman Download

Supremacy — whether painted in racial hues, religious banners, national flags, or even the smugness of intellectual elitism — is the metaphysical disease of our species. It is the conviction that my group, my tribemy castemy mental software configuration, is not merely different but somehow better, ordained, inevitable, the top rung on some imaginary ladder and that all other visions of tribe or the sacred are false, dangerous, or subordinate. This is not merely a potential theological position; it is a psychic enclosure, a wall built around the infinite to make it manageable, controllable, and ultimately usable as a weapon.

The trouble with this is, the ladder is a hallucination. Biology doesn’t operate on "supremacy," it operates on diversity. Evolution thrives on variety, mutation, and various oddball experiments. If one strand of life declared itself "supreme" and wanted to exterminate other aspects of itself, it would also be sawing off its own branches.
