— ISMS
Every -Ism is its own contradiction, its own reductio ad absurdum. Every -Ism violates the lex parsimoniae, or Occam's Razor, and thereby remains an asymptote only to its own praxis axis, ie, it becomes a complete corruption of thought and language, but never of action: -Isms make praxis impossible. They seek to break or fragment it into dialectics, or mere language functions, but ultimately the causes of all value [efficient, material, formal and final] are opposed by -Isms: cf Marx's Grundisse. -Isms are the crutches of those who refuse to walk, and then find they cannot or forget how to walk. They are the hiding places of inauthenticity, deceit, falsehood and inaction. -Isms are the logocentric fetish of every ideologue who can no longer live in peace, or otherwise, with themselves first, their own kind second, their opposites third, and life last, always as a last resort. -Isms are the charms and coda of all sophisms, that is to say, eristic sleights of the mind that only dupe the -Ists themselves. -Isms are the limbo dance whose bar is the earth itself, or the ground beneath one's feet. Then, is it not best to bury them entirely, and to recognize that everything must evade absolute identity? Even God [Deus] once converted into Deism or Pantheism is no longer God, and surely if we can assert that God =/= God, then what hope is there for the poor mortal -Ist who seeks out like-minded -Ists?
