Fooled, Then Hypernormalised by the Inter-Face

Technofeudalism: aka Digital Face-ism

Feel Feel to Project ANY Meaning You Like Onto It.

Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot

On the Dupes & Non-Dupes of Faciality from Google AI:
An example of Jacques Lacan's phrase les non-dupes errent ("those who are not deceived are the most mistaken") is a cynic who refuses to be "duped" by social niceties and sees only the crude reality beneath. In doing so, the cynic "errs" or is misled, because they miss the symbolic dimension of fiction and illusion that structures social reality and makes coexistence possible. 
Meaning of les non-dupes errent
Les non-dupes errent is a pun that links the French for "the non-duped err" with "the Names-of-the-Father" (les noms du père). The phrase means that people who pride themselves on not being fooled by symbolic fictions—such as societal roles, morality, and language—are the ones who go most astray because they deny the fictions that organize social reality. A good "dupe," by contrast, understands that reality is ordered by these necessary illusions, a notion Lacan describes as being "duped by some real"

  2. Perhaps in your authoritarian white supremacist viewpoint. I simply do not, and will never share your ignorant views.

    1. Because you suffer from the ethics of a mendicant Tibetan bureaucrat, not a leader

      Leaders believe those beneath them to be merely "bad". Peasants believe that those "masters' above them are not merely "bad", but almost uniformly "evil".

      And Democrats have no understanding of the morals of Masters. As Nietzsche said, the peasants practice a "slave" morality. To impose slave ethics upon masters is to ensure the immanent "death" of the nation. They "immanentize the katechon" thereby.

    2. Officers don't eat, sleep, or sh*t with Enlisted men. Why do you think that is, Les? Fraternization is strictly prohibited

    3. 'White' Supremacy? Or merely 'Master' morality vs 'Slave' morality? For me, 'race' is non-essential.

    4. Nietzsche on "The Last Men" (at the eschaton)...

      A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And much poison at the end for a pleasant death.
      - Nietzsche, "Zarathustra"

    5. Think Trump's "evil"? Or is Orange Man merely "bad"?
