There is an eternal discussion in the philosophical circle.
Well, all the talks there are eternal, it's part of the idea
of philosophy. But this one in particular is about, is the
human good or bad by nature? Does society corrupt us?
Is society the one that limits the human being to become a
machine of infinite destruction? From here I would naturally
deviate to whether law and morality are the same. but I want
to leave for another branch this time.
In this case I want to answer this question with a No,
neither human is bad nor good by nature, The nature of man
is to be complex and powerful. And in this talk I want to
stay only with the complex part.
We can't deny it, can we? no matter what politics with its
red against blue wants to direct us to think. humanity is
complex. We created this vast society of layers and layers
of rules, these technologies that could not be described in
a different way than magic for a few dozen years ago.
However,some of people believe that humans only exist in two
boxes, men and women. that's enough for us, simple, to the
point, any anecdote in history or culture outside the euro-
centrist will proceed to be ignored in favor of the calm and
serenity that gives the structure of the 2 boxes.
But this thing about there being only men and women, where
does it come from? that is, we can start with one of the
most obvious options that people like to ignore immediately
and treat it like looking for the 5th paw the cat, which
would be people who are born Intersex, without falling
biologically into any of these 2 boxes. They have no answer
to that nor do they want to think about it, it's just
deformed people. But even so, they are defining gender only
by what is between the legs, but that is not gender, at most
that is sex.
The way a person is heard from the outside who believes that
there are only 2 sexes is as if you saw a book and thought
that it is gender: Book.
A book has a cover, back cover and pages inside, it's a book
it can't be anything else, its genre is a book. But we are
human, complex and powerful beings.
For us, a book is not just a book without more, we know that
something contains inside that shell of seemingly inert
objectivity. we know that it contains words inside and those
words want to leave a message, whatever it is, an essay, a
love story, a fantasy, a biography.in this way, we transform
the inert object that we call a book and give it a genre:
Fantasy/drama. Because we are complex, we create complex
things that are not one-dimensional. or in this case,binary.
Now, if we agree that a book can have a genre that describes
its interior in general features.Why can't humans change our
interior after we are born?We create the books and they have
genres. why can't humans as such have their own gender? why
does the cover,the form of the book have to show objectively
(in the sense of object) and inert, in its mere existence,
all its inner complexity?
Why do they allow us to like all colors, except one, because
it is something that only one gender can acquire at birth?
For tastes the colors*
*with the exception of pink, that one can only be liked by
people who were born without a dick between their legs.
The simple classification of things is a complex social
convention driven by language, which is another complex
social convention created to be able to exchange information
between us.
Why do we use the same language to prevent the exchange of
information? why that vault of gender=sex that prevents that
exchange of introspective and complex information about
ourselves for others? why do these barriers persist?
Allow people to use language correctly and be able to expres
their individual complexity clearly and sanely. Instead of
taking me back to the first question of this post and making
me think again that humanity is inherently evil.
