Verbalizer Apocalooptikon

The rebel, the one who sought and tamed new frontiers, once
revered as hero and mystic, is now turned into the sociopath.
This transformation from hero to devil is partially a result of the
stability demanded by those who come after him (the middle
class) to live off the fruits of his courage and struggle, the mass
which comes to fill the world carved by those who thrived on
nature’s unpredictable chaotic qualities. Once the frontier is
“tamed” Status Quo moves in and demands order. A place where
they can build their nests and ensure the betterment of their
genetic coils. Morality is in fact an invention for the Middle
Class. It creates a notion of order and justice in the world. The
truly Powerful do not require these fictions and the Poor…well,
they know better.

What of the rebel now? If lucky, he became wealthy and
powerful, and with that, mobile, able to keep out of reach of
those who require tranquillity and predictability in order to breed.
If unlucky, he is forcibly exiled, jailed or murdered.

However, this is not the end of the story, for Nature “knows”
that it cannot survive without the rebel. She is born again and
again, and when born into stability, taming is difficult. The child
is incorrigible, delinquent, hyperactive, requiring Ritalin,
psychotherapy, special education. If lucky, the child escapes
with the deep scars of guilt, shame and self-hatred, but at least
having a chance to find its own frontier. If unlucky, the child is
tortured, jailed, or suffers from never-ending despair.
