Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher, was finally able to state, in the mid-nineteenth century, that God had come but had now departed. Friedrich Nietzsche a few years later spat from under his moustache the words “Gott ist tot” (God is dead). And with God either missing or dead the way was open for people to develop rules for themselves which differed from those of religious orthodoxy.
While the human species often speaks, or writes, as if its main interest is in the development, or advancement, of peaceful civilised society the truth is that we are only really really interested in killing and fucking. And with the way to killing barred, unless you are prepared to travel overseas and wear kaki, all we have left is fucking. But do we really?
I would like to fuck every night, and not only that, I would like to fuck a new woman every night. Men are biologically well suited to that arrangement, and with the use of contraception, so are women. But while we live in a society which claims so much for itself whilst still remaining in truth a malicious, severely retarded Christian child of primitive parents, we don’t have much access to fucking either. Therefore we have access to nothing that can really satisfy us. And this is how contemporary society keeps its economic boiler rooms full of flame, by thwarting the desires of its citizens, and feeding on the energy of their torment.
Could this be why the two hottest commodities in the year 2010 are the two types of pornography, the pornography of killing and the pornography of sex. You can get soft versions of both from Hollywood. Indeed, apart from the third theme of The Accumulation of Material Wealth, Hollywood rarely produces movies that are concerned with anything else.
But for the hardcore versions you will need to go to the internet. Here you can see real people being slaughtered; by helicopter, rocket, jeep, rope, sword, anything you like. Likewise the pornography of sex leaves nothing to the imagination, group ejaculation, triple anal, fisting, etc.
To create a proper, healthy society, free from pornography, we would have to clear the obstacles to genuine satisfaction and allow for far more sex and killing in our normal civil life. Reintroduce duelling. Encourage public orgies. Perhaps we could develop killing arenas, where instead of paint-balling, or some similarly childish and ungratifying kill substitute, you could have real people who by choice form a group which wages real war on another group for 48hours or so.
To think of oneself as better than this seems lovely but ill fated, indeed if all other animals on earth devote themselves primarily to fucking and killing, then why should we believe that it is not right for us to do likewise?
