Protagoras, Zeno, Gorgias, and Pyrrho, as well as Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel, spew their virtually infinitely false, evil, irrational, nonsensical theories into the world, and stupid, evil, fundamentally-flawed mankind mostly believes them. This is why human history – and modern society and culture – are mostly irrational and senseless. This is why mankind is so self-hating, self-destroying, socially-hating, and socially-destroying. People look at themselves and their fellows – and at all the beliefs that they hold – and they can’t help but be appalled and revolted.
Considering how inherently and culturally depraved man is, both historically and currently, maybe it’s good for people to pretend to believe in “god” or “the collective”. Maybe it’s good to fundamentally lie to themselves. What else can they do? What else have they got?
Maybe it’s strategically best for mankind to assiduously brainwash itself into semi-honestly and semi-sincerely believing in this wretched and disgusting “god” and “collective” business. Compared to all the poor alternatives they know of, perhaps people personally and socially profit.
As for the fact that no such supernatural entity or unitary conglomeration actually exists, humans find it easy to substitute some charismatic mediocrity and lowlife as their leader in all this. He will take all the responsibility for their beliefs. If he’s wrong, he will bear all the guilt for their false and evil ideology. Meanwhile, people can readily pretend that he’s individually great, and a magnificent embodiment of their philosophy, just as they can pretend to believe in a god or collective, just as they can pretend to believe in the obvious frauds Protagoras, Zeno, Gorgias, Pyrrho, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel.
In the end, humans do terrible evil, and they know they do terrible evil, and they do it willingly and happily. People are vermin. The more they suffer, the better. The sooner they’re extincted, the better too.
