"The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism;
there is no better way to hold that criticism than to attack any
isolated voice, any raiser of new doubts, as a profane violator of the
wisdom of his ancestors. Another potential ideological force is to
deprecate the individual and exalt the collectivity of society."
- (Murray N. Rothbard in his work entitled ANATOMY OF THE STATE)
For a moment, I thought back to the Marquis de Sade for the cruelty of a
thought so wild and brutal, a hallucination so horrifically dark,
something filled with intrigue and secret, as a gift beautifully wrapped
on a grand stage. I was reminded of Louise Bourgeois who wrote in
another era that; "The twentieth-century artist who uses symbols is
alienated because the system of symbols is a private one. After you have
dealt with the symbols you are still private, you are still lonely,
because you are not sure anyone will understand it except yourself. The
ransom of privacy is that you are alone."
Then, are the artists, intellectuals, and literary experts no more than
a group of individuals who are depraved?
I reject this opinion. I refuse to accept work as an expression only
intended for the pattern of exploiting human life, even making humans
mass objects for flirtatious intellectuals.
Here Mpu Tantular says sadly, "Umandya donta carweka" (Sanskrit: Never
again allow yourself to be a martyr).[1] Mythology, not only is a form
of contemplation as matrices, but also is the conveyance of simple
poetic sentences. In mythology, these illuminate secret meaning within
the maze of a work. Thus, "Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is
enlightenment." which for Lao Tzu was enlightenment of knowledge, a form
of masterpiece, something both wild and divine.[2] Mythology as a
masterpiece from every time and place has become a symbol of a complex
language. But there is wisdom in the creation of placing the individual
as the creator and creation.
"What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."
(Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche). As the war in the delusional corpus rages
a storm, drowning the thin embers, power was recorded in the fragility
of paper in the medieval. A kind of Antioch and Canaan on the dizygotic
twin spiral, but Damascus is still caught in the Syriac manuscripts.
Civilization and divinity become a chessboard for individual existence.
Christ and Ishmael, a kind of virtuality that reminds me of Obidos in
the anarchist crisis, the Portuguese Interregnum.
"Deep in the sea
all molecules repeat
the patterns of one another
till complex new ones are formed.
They make others like themselves
and a new dance starts."
- Richard Feynman
I see it as the garuda. The individuals suddenly became Cyclopian and
disconnected. This roar hit my heart, wounding me. I sought refuge where
all that was crushed had bowed to Porusada.[3] The atlas on the
inscription stone seemed long forgotten, while the slogan remained the
same. Bhineka Tunggal Ika loses its captain; "The Union of Egoists is
stuck with barbed wire!" Mourning for Modernity over Max Stirner.[4]
For the risks posed with this millennium, the artists, intellectuals,
and literary experts in my region support a world order that neglects
the study of the only social coordinated process for the Mataram plain.
