values and impulses of the market Philosophy and market values.
The human being in the test of neo-liberalism.
Since the separation of church and state, the merchant replaces the spiritual (and the philosopher), alongside politics. This new "advised" imposed its "system of values". In this new system of value now baign the West, and finally, a large part of the world.
The merchant world thus provides humanity with its new "philosophy", the path which it must follow in order to evolve, evidently a perfect heresy, since the "values" of the market are opposed by nature, the market must value the drives, the instincts, the tendency to greed and compulsiveness, it is an "enemy" of consciousness, of measure, of deep spirituality and of reason And it is precisely these values ​​which should gain ground.
The "values" of the market are not.
The Taste of Power, Segregationist Elitism, Clanicity, Luxury. The taste for non-playful competition, sexuality without feeling ... are primary drives derived from primate manners.
The cult of discriminating elitism proceeds directly from the dominant-subordinate principle underway in natural primate ..
The cult of aggressiveness (commercial) and fierce competition stems from the constant aggressiveness of the dominant primates.
The cult of luxury, derived from egocentrism seeing dominant primates and their ways of hoarding privileges to the detriment of the whole.
Abusive sexuality, dominating and without affective manifestation proposed by the sex market (the new porn) simply caricature the sexuality without affection in progress among the dominant primates.
Human values ​​are quite different.
It is the taste for equality,
for sharing,
for humility,
for global love (sex and feeling)
for respectful, fair and honest exchanges.
These are the true human values. The novelties brought by our species to the great rise of the mind towards the superior (from the bacteria to the sponge, from the fish to the man).
Decrease in culture
Culture is a tool to overcome the laws of nature
The promotion of primary drives is therefore necessary at the expense of true human values. This is a real regression. A regression insofar as the bases of humanity, of human culture, rest entirely on the "higher values". Values ​​elaborated for millennia by our great spiritualities.
These higher values: truth, justice, mutual help, altruism, love for others, charity, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, sharing, form the basis of our laws, our law, our education and our human relationships. spreading for 30 years the primary drives (search for power, frenzied egocentrism, constant competition, aggressiveness, clanicity) on the surface of the earth, the market has gradually transformed the atmosphere of humanity. It has gradually hardened the world.
A conflict generator
The arms market, by promoting multiple conflicts, closed a host of countries to tourism. So to the peaceful meeting. Western leaders responsible for trade between West and poor countries are fueling injustice and corruption. By the values ​​they convey (taste for power, domination, etc.), they have made a large part of emerging countries invisible and dangerous.
A return to our primacy
By gradually restoring the lowest natural laws, society recovers our primitive conditions. She regains the violence and suffering inherent in the primate condition. Insecurity, the elimination of the fragile, the constant fear of danger, the frustration of the dominated, the feeling of omnipotence, deafness to others. And of course, by exalting the primate impulses, society finds itself with the same reactions. State of permanent livelihood, isolation, protection, indifference towards hierarchical inferiors, camouflage, clanicity, abandonment of vulnerable individuals.
Inversion of values
Divine values ​​as a horizon
Yet our species has managed to distance itself from the often violent and unjust customs of the natural world. It succeeded because it constantly had as its focus the values ​​of the wise and the spiritual. For more than 3000 years, the ideal to which man was to tend is those of god. The examples on which humanity traced its conduct were Yahweh, Buddha, Brahman or Allah. They were the prophets, the saints, or the great philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Epicurus, Seneca.
By relying on these spiritual examples, man exerted himself as much as possible to master his primary nature. He thus approached a life of goodness, justice, enlightenment and purity. At the key, there was wisdom, bliss, ecstasy, nirvana. These examples from the religions and philosophies, were filled with justice of conscience and universality. They replaced the ancient gods and heroes. These previous gods were fighters, often perverse and unjust. They were capable of the best as well as the worst, and were kneaded by a materialistic religiosity. Back polytheistsCuriously moreover, the values ​​put on stage by the market, are those of antiquity. They are those of the gods and heroes of the polytheistic and mythological world. Gods or heroes reckless, unconscious and often perverse. Obviously, this regression has a meaning and is punctual. They make it possible to unify the world (globalization) on universal things. Simple things like the object, the fashion, the values ​​of the market. But as we all know, the human majority suffers from these new values. Humanity must gradually emerge from these absurd conduct. Violent and regressive behavior. It will be necessary to leave them for the good of men as a whole.
