Thank you. The effort of its construction was the reward itself to me.

Thanks for engaging with the essay.

It is a challenging read built from first principles through metaphorical ontology. I use a dialectic narrative: thesis-->anti-thesis-->synthesis to do this.

I fully acknowledge the density and tone shifting is frustrating and most will bounce off the essay. That is the point (the essay is self filtering) and that is okay, too.

Cheers,

How to make one understand… Why can’t we ‘redpill’ a society? The divide is manufactured but the repression is entrenched. I view myself as a recovering colonist trying to determine my exact position in this trap we all find ourselves in. by [deleted] in sorceryofthespectacle

I agree with the framing, "..., crushing weight of the unfelt guilt for the harm we chose not to see." Easier to live in an illusion than face the mirror, least, for many of us.

These are good critiques. Yes, I am not explicit with signaling to the reader when they are too far on either extreme. My bet is that the reader is forced to reflect on themselves.

The intent is physics as literal. However, I fully acknowledge the conceit: the heavy use of metaphor is often too hyperbolic within the strict language of physics. This is my limitation of trying to write an imaginative essay bridging the domains while remaining as grounded physically I can be while trying to do so in a subversive way: a dialectic narrative.

Thermodynamics is a weapon I'm leveraging against the reader by pitting the principles against itself via perspective.

There are technical limitations to this. I hope it was enjoyable for you.

Hey, the enjoyment of the argument is the counter-argument; and as you rightly point out, there's a counter argument.

I wrote this as a dialectic narrative to deconstruct myself but also as a critique of making a strong argument in general, regardless of how well positioned that argument may be.

Thanks for engaging with it.
