The 21st Century Leviathan: A Gracious Return to the Jungle - By Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
The key point
Ikigai and Lagom discussed the saying at length: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." They eventually decided to write a short satire separately and then decide which one to share. Thinking about how much harm people do to others while thinking they are doing good, Ikigai reflected. Once upon a time in Europe and in British America there were many witches, numbering roughly 100,000 (Europe and British America between 1400–1775 – Wikipedia), and they were burnt alive for their own good, for humanity, and to save the name of their god and the kingdom. Heretics also met a bad end, starting in 1022 and ending in 1800. But where did all this “salvation” they wanted to give others go? I'm not talking about religion, but about politics disguised as a way to control others' lives and, if they want, to kill them conveniently. They did all this because they could. But now in the 21st century, what are we doing?
Ikigai says himself: Humanity doesn't change! It doesn't change! We make the same mistakes. Humanity is always primitive. The greatest atrocities in human history are rarely committed by people who think they are being "evil," but by those convinced they are doing "good." Any religion or/and SPEC system can become an excellent tool for killing and controlling human beings more easily and conveniently. This is why politics and religion always get along, whether openly or covertly, just as politics and religion do business with the underworld.
We must start rethinking everything from scratch at least now as we enter the second quarter of the 21st century.
The 21st Century Leviathan: A Gracious Return to the Jungle
Why should I bother questioning the United States or its current steward, Donald Trump? Why fret over the "moral" architecture of Europe or the crumbling façade of Western Civilization? It is far more efficient to simply applaud the debut of the Western SPEC system - the most elaborated theatrical production in human history.
For centuries, these architects of order have boasted of inventing Democracy and "civilizing" the map. They gifted the world the United Nations and the Human Rights Bill, much like a magician hand out cards before a trick. But now, we witness a stroke of genius: the West has decided to go beyond its own rules. After all, why follow a script you wrote yourself when you can simply set the stage on fire?
We must admire the efficiency of their new strategy. By arresting democratically elected leaders and declaring wars without the tedious paperwork of diplomacy, they have finally discarded the "hidden texts" of their backstage theatre. They are no longer pretending. They have realized that the 21st century doesn't need a Social Contract; it needs a cage.
By recalling Thomas Hobbes, they have brought us back to the honest purity of the jungle. Bellum omnium, contra omnes - the war of all against all. It is refreshing! We no longer need the "burden" of ethics or the "inconvenience" of decency. We only need a new Leviathan to save us from the very chaos they created.
This new Emperor, likely rising from the strange, culturally blended soil of America, will be a marvel of artificiality. Since the U.S. lacks the dusty weight of ancient tradition, it is free to invent itself as a "United States of the World." This Leviathan will be a visionary - he will foresee that "freedom" is simply a recipe for rebellion. To ensure true stability, he will "graciously" abolish the right to think and act, replacing the exhausting "drama of democracy" with the quiet comfort of absolute control.
He will build a glorious brotherhood of autocracies, fascisms, and totalitarians, creating a world that exists solely to serve Him - the Lord of the Lords. And we, the lucky subjects, shall offer him all the praises and Peace Prizes he demands. In the law of the strongest, the most beautiful thing one can do is surrender.
Now, the world has become a theatre where the exit doors are locked, and the only role left for the "people" is to clap for the strongest man on stage.

From the world of phenomena to the calendarization of existence - by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
From the world of phenomena to the calendarization of existence
The focal point
A calendar is not something simple or banal; it is a natural, indispensable method of human logical production used to move, change, transform, relate, communicate, and live a systematic life. Personally, I have considered current calendar systems to be somewhat forced and even ridiculous, because they have abused and mechanized human life and the man-made world (including nature and the cosmos – the order and unity of the universe).
On the other hand, even if one ignores the calendar and looks through historical events—such as the naming of days and months, the Julian reform, or the Gregorian update—every human still feels space-time effectively, both constitutively (physically and metabolically) and psychologically. Thus, no one can deny that a calculable, rhythmic mode of moving, communicating, and relating with oneself and with others is a congenital faculty or, rather, that the consciousness and perception of time—along with all other fundamental, natural, and logical (yet raw and unfiltered) functions—are present. We share these even with basic biological operating systems, the habits of animals, and the rhythm of nature. Just think about the rhythm of one’s heartbeat, the rhythm of breathing, and the general length of an inhale and an exhale (±3 seconds).
Human beings are able to experience universal “disorder,” “chaos,” or “non-logical movements, transformations, and mutations: flux.” But human beings tend to follow patterns or logical behaviour. So, the calendar is something they have invented, among other things, to survive logically. I define this as narrating life. It is not simple. But, in this reflection, I write something pragmatic without entering into further explanations.
But, beyond all this, isn't there something more to explore about our temporality?
Chorus
But calendarization of socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) life is, in general, we can consider as the strategic tool of ‘political-administrative-financial’ control of relative human behaviour. Through this, one can understand how one becomes habitual and freely forced to follow the orders of sweet commanders” and to understand how habitual life and a freely forced ikikata (lifestyle) leads nowhere but back to frustration, anxiousness, sadness, and a chaotic life (struggle for survive).
Calendarization of life
Conventionally, I address today as the 3rd of January 2026. I performed relevant organized activities according to this relative periodization that we normally call the calendarization of the SPEC and “political-administrative-financial” year.
I may call it the “calendarization” of “habitual life itself” because, despite all the maniacal and scrupulous separation of simple tasks and everything related to them to accelerate, improve, and make more and more profit strategically—which will never get anywhere but only to continuous processing—calendarization helps people to establish habitual, healthy/unhealthy/capricious relations and communicate what they wish without disturbing their individual and collective rhythm of life. Is this life?

Time is repeated motions of nature
Time is just the measure of repeated motions of the world of phenomena. In the relation between the rotation and revolution of the Earth and the Sun, the tides of the sea, the seasons, and the behaviour of nature, nature offers (appears with) plenty of rhythms. So, man, observing the self and nature, invented different periodicities. Without this natural periodicity, we cannot measure time. We have no other means to do this. So, our knowledge of space-time is all about the world of phenomena or the natural world. No one can perceive, conceive, or apprehend culturally unquantified time. Thus, periodicity is the base of our knowledge (SPEC systemic) of everything concerning space-time.Chorus

Experience of pulsation
Every human being has experienced the pulsations of the heart. It denotes the life and activities of an individual. Therefore, all our activities are connected with the pulsations of the heart. From birth to growth, decay, and until death, each human has to wiggle according to his/her rhythmical throbbing. This is such an interesting and profound reality about our existence that any human being naturally can experience. As I said before, the general length of an inhale and an exhale—±3 seconds—can be applied to calculate different things, such as how old the Earth is. Beyond this type of curiosity, one can concentrate on these 3 seconds and experience new dimensions.

Seasons of the year
Beyond this rhythm of the heart, man also depends on the long-period pulsations of nature: the seasons – spring, summer, autumn, and winter. All changes of plant life directly but involuntarily affect our knowledge of time. This is, on the other hand, enriched by the life and behaviour of animals, birds, and all insects. Regarding so-called inanimate phenomena, I have my own direct experience to share here. I visited my hometown after 20 years and I found, first, that the landscape of the town had changed. The riverbank and the sea beach had changed unrecognizably. In brief, after 20 years, I found the geographical area had increased (due to the river and the Indian Ocean's activities) and nature was more vigorous than before. This means that change, decay, and transformation are always in action, even where human beings cannot notice it immediately.

Organized time studies
We have, then, rudimentary astrology, more scientifically founded astronomy, and the rigorous astrophysics of the 21st century to note the periodicity of the sky, its contents, their behaviour, and their connection with us. From these, we achieve very important and more effective knowledge of periodic motion that helps our man-made world processes. This knowledge is therefore very important because it directly affects everything, including human beings.

Rotation and revolution of the earth and the moon
Thus, the rotation and revolution of the Earth are the two most important periodic motions for human beings and the rest of existence on Earth. They can immediately observe and experience the relation with the life processes of individual and collective activities. What we habitually call “day and night” is the result of the rotation of the Earth. We know about the revolution of the Earth, but the effect of this annual revolution is more visible in the floral world.
Though the rotation and revolution—both movements of the Earth—are affecting relatively everything this planet contains, due to human constraints and limits in general and the delay in understanding the micro-processes (micro-level movement, change, decay, transformation), nobody is able to make exact conclusions and make patterns regarding micro-worlds.

conclusion
Well, our knowledge of space-time, therefore, depends on the periodicity of the world of phenomena, and the rotation and revolution of the Earth correspond to our illusory reality, which is identified by snapshotting continuously fleeting moments as something that exists.
But why have I repeated this: “But calendarization of socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) life is, in general, what we can consider as ‘political-administrative-financial’ control of relative human behaviour. In this way, one can understand how one becomes habitual and freely forced to follow the orders of sweet commanders” and to understand how habitual life and a freely forced ikikata (lifestyle) leads nowhere but back to frustration, anxiousness, sadness, and a chaotic life (struggle for survive).
So, one has to understand and experience the calendar within and of nature. There is no need to become rebellious or revolutionaries to follow one’s own existential clock and calendar, and to listen to and experience the calendars of nature.
On the other hand, we're barely a quarter of the way through the 21st century, and we have fairly effective tools to understand and verify certain things about the movements, changes, and transformations at the micro-level of nature and even our biology. Despite everything, the "political-cultural-administrative-financial" and SPEC calendar remains dominant, and human beings are always behaving habitually and are freely forced to live in certain ways like sheep for slaughter. Though the SPEC and "political-cultural-administrative-financial" calendar provide a kind of order to the ordinary man, it sells back to the ordinary man his/her own time with obligations and notifications.
The calendarized man is fixated and freely forced to be uncertain, dissatisfied, frustrated, depressed, anxious, and mainly dominated by different types of agglomerated fears. This type of man lives according to what the relative calendar indicates. The world must be a fixed place with certainty, security, justice, fairness, and beauty. This man is always chasing fleeting happiness. This type of man always sees others as perfect, while he feels like a failure, frustrated, and unhappy.
