Why I Find The World Disgusting -- Disgust as Moral Repulsion

(Background Music)

I find the world to be morally disgusting, and as such I am glad I don't have to partake in its sick game. Basically, the world is built like a game where your life is at stake. You spend most of your days grinding for money, and the game of this world is rigged against you and in favor of its corrupt rich who own most of it. Most people work in order to make the rich richer while living expanse gets higher and hurts the very workforce which sustains the privileged few.

In order to survive, people have to be ruthless, and compete against one another for money. As such, the game of life which spans much of this world favors not the just and the fair but those who manipulate, those who get advantage over another, those who chose selfishness over altruism and those who exploit others for one's own gain. The game of life rots the planet, spirals people into depression and those who are not strong enough are at risk of taking their own lives.

The very fact that this world makes people want to take their own lives disgust me. I isolate myself from this world out of ethical grounds, and I serve my work for free because I refuse playing the sick game of life, and mainly wish to contribute to people.

I am disgusted by this world because the game of life makes it morally depraved, corrupt and unfair. The fact that most people need to spend most of their lives grinding for money and only get to retire at a late age implies contemporary slavery. The fact that this world makes some people take their own lives means that the system doesn't serve the people but rather exploits them and is set against them. Finally, the fact that for most there is no alternative, but to play the game of life, means that the system does not only exploits but enslaves them. Slavery hasn't faded away with modern times; it merely changed its face, like a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing.

In a better, rectified world, the system would work for the very people that partake in it. In a rectified world, people would get a choice whether to play in the game of life and or to pursue their own passions instead. However, since the need to survive is constant, the system built itself around preying on humanity's constant need for survive in the name of increasing capital to the rich few. Slowly but surely, the freedom of capitalism makes way for Techno-Feudalism, where the masses become serfs, and where social mobility is highly restricted.

The only reason I keep writing for you is because I have a need to contribute and to leave an impact. Should I manage to do so then my work is sufficient enough for me. I have all I need in this life, and I find my disgust from this greedy, corrupt world to be a form of moral repulsion, like an immune system rejecting the moral ills of this world as a means to remain morally healthy.

The game of life has no interest offering alternatives to its forced participants. Those unable to create their own alternatives to the game of life will be forced to remain in the grasp of its matrix and live payment to payment for the majority of their lifespans. Partaking in this game is there to feed the parasitic few of this world -- the technocrats, the techno lords, the CEOs and the politicians of this world, so they would benefit from the labour of the masses while the masses themselves fight over the scraps of money that is left for them, as the former own the majority of the money for themselves, without helping those in need.

I understand completely those who must partake in the sick game of life; they must survive, and they have no choice. As children, we are asked what we want to be when we grow up, yet each of the common choices, AKA, the jobs, enslave people for the system instead of making them free. Very few people will say that when they grow up they want to be free from said system. Throughout our lives, we are taught to fit in, to overcome our rebelliousness, and comply. Those who rebel and don't comply, either get pacified by law and order, or get to become unique glitches in the matrix. I am one of the people who became glitches in the matrix of life, because I don't have to work to make a living, and because my material satisfaction implies the consumerist aspect of the system has no leverage on me.

The role of the philosopher requires them to be an outsider and live solitary lives. Only then they will be able to see the game of life as a whole without having their perception limited by said game. It is unrewarding, it is a sacrifice, and most people prefer that you cater to them than to see the truth. However, my solace lies in the fact that I get to live under my own terms and be free from the exploitative system that ruins the world's natural resources in the name of profit.

Should more and more people be able to find alternatives to survival, such as living off grid or from unconventional forms of income, the sick game of life will lose leverage over them, and will thus weaken. In its core, the game of life, if it were a person, would be a narcissistic psychopath that lives off the work of the many like a parasite. It would seek to control as many people as possible, and would actively work to prevent any alternatives to the conventional paths it lies for the majority of humanity.

The moral thing will be to be disgusted from such a system, and if you are disgusted by it as well, it means that you too have a high sense of morality. I predict the system will eventually fall, as less and less people are willing to have children, meaning less and less people will be going to serve the system. And as the death ratio will overcome the birth ratio, the system will lose the essential workers it exploits to maintain itself. Furthermore, should unemployment rates rise due to the AI revolution, the system will have even less people to exploit.

I am looking forward to the collapse of the game of life should I manage to survive until then. I believe that if more people were free from the exploitative grasp of the system, the world would be a better place to live in.
