On Lamaism vs. Islam: Where to Invest a Society's Surplus?

What is Life? 
Life is a chemical System that uses energy to keep itself from reaching chemical equilibrium. Equilibrium is the situation in which chemicals no longer have a tendency to react over time.

What are a Society's Eschatological Goals for the End Times.   To Immanentize it, or to Catechize it?  And to serving and achieving what 'ends' should a Society devote its' Surplus (Luxury - Necessity) energies?

from Google AI:
While Marx seeks to understand and optimize the production of wealth through human effort [Anthropogenic Energy?}. Bataille seeks to understand the necessary destruction of wealth through energy expenditure [Energy in all its' forms?].


Georges Bataille's "Accursed Share" (Recorded chapters):
Economics seen in Reverse, not from Means to Ends,  but from Ends to Means
"That the Sexual Act is in Time, what the Tiger is in Space"
-Georges Bataille, "The Accursed Share"

Rene Magritte, "The Kiss II"

Quote by Georges Bataille

From Google AI: 
The phrase "a kiss is the beginning of cannibalism" is a famous psychological and philosophical quote attributed to the French psychoanalyst Georges Bataille. 
At its core, the statement means that intense romantic or sexual desire carries an inherent, subconscious urge to completely consume and possess the other person.

Key Meanings
  • The Desire for Oneness: A kiss is an attempt to break the physical barrier between two separate bodies. Taken to its absolute psychological extreme, total physical integration would mean consuming the other person to make them part of yourself.
  • Aggression in Passion: Deep passion blurrs the line between love and aggression. This is why people bite playfully when kissing or express "cute aggression"—the urge to squeeze or "eat up" something they love.
  • Total Possession: It represents the ultimate form of ownership. You do not just want to be near the person; you want to absorb their essence entirely.
  • Loss of Self: In psychoanalysis, extreme love involves destroying the boundaries of the ego. You devour the other person, or let yourself be devoured by them, to become one single entity.
