Krow’s vision (03): How Natural Fear device becomes Domesticated Fear in Political Systems- by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome

---

Background of the Reflection 

Krow was reflecting on a possible meaning of "human life" stripped of cultures and civilizations - including society, politics, and economics in their broadest sense. Without these, life would lack narrative meaning and the weight of the experience humans have endured for over two thousand years: the sagas of emperors, kings, tyrants, autocrats, terrorists, criminals and significant religious figures. It would be devoid of tribalism, racism, fascism, Nazism and nationalism, along with the resulting conflict, war, murder, extermination, and every possible atrocity against humanity and nature.

On the other hand, perhaps a virtuous person would tell stories of heaven and hell, built upon the concepts of emperor God ruler and good and evil. These stories would emphasize the importance of fixed and approved good deeds and discourage the interpreted path of evil. Thus, ideals of behaviour, relationships, and communication might emerge that aimed to prevent conflict and war. Consequently, a new class of human behavioural models would emerge for future generations. Consequently, each individual becomes a bearer, guardian, and promoter of the preservation and continuation of systems. They must also live and work for the good of the systems' protagonists and protectors.

However, these tales of good and evil would eventually change people's mindsets, transforming them into something almost peculiar and alien (free slaves). Individuals would find themselves struggling with the newly placed dualistic nature: a natural self-pitted against an artificial, interpreted self. Therefore, these stories told by "good" people would trigger a new, radical conflict - first within the minds of individuals, before escalating into collective wars fought in the name of emperor God and good and evil.

Any SPEC System - Domesticates Fear and Freedom

In such a manipulated, controlled, and strategically maintained situation, why, the crow wonders, did the SPEC systems misinterpret the natural fear? With frightening seriousness, looking into the distance, the crow exclaims, "Perhaps they wanted to establish a new one that hinders humans, rather than becoming a guide like that innate, natural fear?"

So, the krow asked again the question himself: why is fear negatively interpreted? Because it is the foe of the SPEC system’s strategic education, formation, and “breeding” of relative ideologies. In its natural state, fear is the ultimate security device. It provides a person with alarming and forewarning systems, allowing them to find immediate solutions to life-threatening problems. However, this becomes a clear obstacle for SPEC systems. They attempt to condition people by erasing the natural semper vigilantes (always vigilant) instinct that protects an individual from danger.

A SPEC system requires individuals who are willing to risk their lives for the system-imposed ideals. Strategically and rhetorically, every SPEC system defines this type of “breeding” to ensure procreation, manual labour, and the acquisition of "voting power." The democratic system is thus a strategic trap for the common people - at least, so questioned the crow. While theories and definitions position the common man as the central power and decision-maker, in reality, the system itself remains the center; it is governed by its officials and the elected elite, who exclude the “power giver.” Indeed, as in other absolutist, ideological, racist, and extremist political systems, even in a democratic system, every single voter is considered a potential suspect and a danger to the elite and the system. Therefore, voters are free individuals only in theory; in practice, they all risk imprisonment or death (as is happening these days -2026- in the United States of America) at any time for the sake of democracy, a measure intended to prevent them from attacking the elite and the system.

SPEC systems reengineers fear and freedom

Krow observes that when a natural person once disciplined by culture, becomes vulnerable and utterly lost within the SPEC system itself. Thus, he essentially setting up a "State of Nature" vs. "State of Culture" dichotomy where the very tools used for survival (fear) and existence (freedom) undergo a complete functional inversion. In the hands of the Natural Man, fear and freedom are survival mechanisms; in the hands of the SPEC – natural man is systematically manipulated, domesticated, specialised and socialised, and culture and civilization become psychological and biological cages or instruments of control.

This is a sharp critique of how civilization-what krow call the SPEC system -reengineers the human psyche and body. His argument that natural fear is a "security device" is psychologically and biologically sound; by pathologizing fear, so, by any SPEC system essentially "disarms" the individual's natural defence mechanisms to make them more pliable (rhetorically enchanted and systematically domesticated).

Fear: The Survival Compass vs. The Invisible Leash

For the Natural Man, fear is an honest, biological and psychological response to immediate physical threats (predators, starvation, storms, floods, fire and lightning and thundering). It is a guiding line because it keeps him alive; it is fleeting and situational.

For the SPEC Man, fear is abstracted. It isn't about the wolf at the door, but about: Social Ostracism: The fear of not belonging. Economic Ruin: The fear of losing status or "the narrative." Existential Anxiety: A constant, low-grade hum that makes him a foe to himself, as it leads to compliance and the sacrifice of his congenital nature for perceived safety.

Freedom: The Presence of Action vs. The Burden of Choice

For the Natural Man, freedom is total. It is the unmediated ability to move, hunt, cultivate, dance and exist without permission. Death requires no justification or scapegoat. It's simply a natural fact that happens. Freedom is a guiding line because natural man’s life is a direct result of his own agency.

For the SPEC Man, freedom often becomes an artificial construct or a "foe". The SPEC man is offered a "freedom of choice" between thousands of pre-approved options (models, brands, careers, political parties), which isn't natural freedom but a regulated simulation. Responsibility vs. Liberty: In civilization, freedom is often traded for security. The SPEC man fears natural freedom because it requires a level of self-reliance he has been trained to forget.

How does a human being stay "natural" in a world designed to corrupt them?

The Socio-Politic-Economic-Cultural-Civil (SPEC) sophistication

Krow observes “civilized” society as a collection of absurd masks and role-playing systems that distance humans from their congenital, naturally structured selves. The life process necessarily becomes a theatre of role-playing, an arena of gaming – the individual human being then necessarily becomes either a winner or a loser, enduring all possible fear and great pain.

In such a situation, the krow observes, the role-playing (gaming), whether one wins or loses, never ends. It is not a game or a drama that ends once and for all. On the contrary, the individual - already transformed into a horse dragging the armour of the SPEC system and tied to a carrot of success - continues to run for the carrot he will never be able to reach.

The krow realizes that for the SPEC system, fear is the enemy of efficiency. In the hands of the Natural Man, fear is a compass. In the hands of the SPEC, fear is a leash. By pathologizing this natural alarm, the system ensures that the common man never notices the walls of the cage until they are too narrow to turn around in. The "State of Culture" is not an evolution (for an imagined good); it is a psychological and biological disarmament (leading him astray). The SPEC system does not want humans who are "always vigilant" (semper vigilantes) for their own sake; it wants humans who are only vigilant for the system’s survival. 

Further, the krow observes that the SPEC system’s weapon of choice is strategically forced optimism. By feeding the natural man a steady diet of "all is for the best," the system effectively mutes his semper vigilantes (his natural congenital-structural defence and relation). If everything is systematically and strategically predestined to be good, then natural fear becomes irrational. A natural human becomes a walking casualty, stripped of his defensive and relational instincts, wandering through war, conflict, and catastrophe because his internal alarm system has been overridden by a specialized rhetoric. He is "re-naturalized" only when he is systematically forced to abandon the grand theory for the dirt of his own natural garden.

Krow’s vision (2): Static Repeaters and Edge-dwellers - by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome

---

Background of the reflection

As the krow flew freely overhead, letting the wind caress its feathers, it let its mental processes take over and began to observe. He heard from a distance a few concepts he had learned from a person while observing him perched on a tree branch near his window. This person, whom the krow considered not only intellectually honest but also humble and joyful was writing about human beings: being an “edge-dweller,” being “fully human,” and being “social.”

Since the old, obsolete, and limping human paradigms - along with their mystified ideals and petty-minded ideas with fixed worldviews that serve as life's satellites - have now been damaged, deconstructed, and have collapsed, these concepts must necessarily be either retouched, re-evaluated, or, if necessary, abandoned for a new worldview (one that is more dynamically systematic and based on revised human rights agreements) for the good of human beings and of this planet, the krow reflected.

Arbitrary role of humanity and the defining of sensitive existential dynamics

"Being fully human" is neither a clear concept nor helpful for living, because the concept is entirely open to being defined and mystified by anyone for any purpose, randomly and arbitrarily. To understand this fact, the krow sought to consider existence in general. Consequently, he found that all living things are born with certain innate and inherited behaviors - both common and relative to their place and natural circumstances. The offspring of a species are necessarily taught these survival behaviors by their parents and elders, allowing them to survive in groups. Even plants have innate habits and grow gregariously. Therefore, the krow deduced, sociability is not a uniquely human trait; rather, it is an innate necessity for reasons of consistency, survival, security, convenience, and for the propagation of the species. Even if humans deliberately mystify it for various overt and hidden reasons - often political and strategic conveniences - it is a characteristic common to all of existence.

The internal logic of the krow’s reasoning is strong and consistent. He moves effectively from a specific claim (“humanity” is mostly a mystified and entirely confused concept) to a general biological observation (“sociability” is universal), and finally to a socio-political conclusion. By grounding "sociability" in biology and even botany (gregarious growth), the krow successfully deconstructs the idea that human "society" is a spiritual or unique achievement.

Dynamic general catalytic consciousness and human catalytic consciousness

The krow argues for the dynamic and relative presence of consciousness in the universe, in the world, and in the existence of the world in general. According to his position, consciousness is the fundamental catalytic platform of all existence. Videlicet - a relative catalysis arises from phenomena and vanishes with them; therefore, it is not an object that remains unchanged or separate from a phenomenon. Furthermore, the krow observes that thinking otherwise is one of the positions of the old, obsolete paradigms (the general Weltanschauung or a general point of view).

The krow affirms that human consciousness is a strong, powerful, and complex dynamic that clearly differentiates man from the rest of existence. It is the catalytic dynamic with different levels of communication and relation with oneself and with others (the world of phenomena/the wiggling energy forms). Compared to human consciousness, the krow maintains that the consciousness of the universe is primitive and elementary. Although this human characteristic is very important, humans are incapable of harnessing this power for their own benefit and/or for the rest of existence. It is as if this crucial dynamic has never existed for them. The main reasons for this lack of liminal awareness were briefly discussed in the krow's previous essay.

The greatest failure of old-fashioned politics

Humans did not emerge from primitive times into the 21st century with clear strategies and plans. Instead, they evolved by experiencing helplessness, vulnerability and facing dangers, natural challenges, and challenges related to communication and relationships within and between groups with friends and enemies (conflicts and wars). According to the krow, primitive people were driven primarily by fear in general, fear of death and fear of annihilation and curiosity. But fear is the most important guide and light for living beings, including humans even today.

Observing the politics, conflicts, and wars currently underway around the world, the krow concludes that even in the 21st century, humanity's guiding principle is fear in general, and the fear of annihilation. This is the main reason why politics with spiritual politics (monotheistic, theistic religions and belief systems) fail to resolve existential problems of any kind. Observing the problems of the European world, the krow clearly states that the politics of this old continent are obsolete, outdated, and oppressive.

Further, krow observes that European politicians believe that their instinct of fear is the best guide for winning conflicts and wars in the 21st century, which is the main practical mistake. Therefore, they consistently resort to violence to quell the violence, for example, of young people, who are perhaps more informed than politicians about the state of the issue they are fighting for. These politicians, asserts the krow, fail to consider the new technologies that have helped the masses become far more informed than they try to control, through state media that report useless, outdated and false information.

Socio-Political-Economic-Cultural-Civil Implications

The krow’s mention of "hidden reasons/strategies" suggests a critique of ideology. If "being fully human" is a fluid concept, then whoever defines that concept controls the "flock." For this reason, somebody may put the krow’s writing in the realm of biopolitics - the idea that social and political power is exercised by defining what "life" and "humanity" ought to look like. In short, this means having power over exclusively biological life: the body, sexuality, and death. But the krow affirms that while biopolitics occupies life as a controllable energy, it has completely lost the constructive understanding and maintenance of the individual and the power of individuals - the catalytic consciousness and the outcome, “free will.”

The krow further says the results of this deliberate negligence of politics can be seen today in developed countries - in Europe and in the United States of America. The youth energy, which has been neglected by socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil systems, is now fighting - even using heavy violence - against obsolete, old, and oppressive systems. The krow observes that the obsolete and old oppressive political systems in power still do not know how to solve this problem due to a lack of a new worldview and new concepts based on human rights and mutual respect. They instead are using old methods of controlling the ignorant masses of olden times. The krow further clarifies that present-day people (the masses) are more informed, involved, and active not only at the local level but at the international level problems through new technology. So, a political anomaly in a remote place can soon become a global problem with active involvement in a short time. The old politics have to be changed, affirms the krow.

So, the krow is not limited to any idea of biopolitics to address what is going on here and now, but he uses his method- “art of seeing” at 360°- to observe existence as such. The concept of biopolitics is also a result of old-fashioned, obsolete politics; meanwhile, the method of the “art of seeing” is dynamic and catalytic. Videlicet- the method is not based on fixed and petty-minded ideologies but based only on active and present necessities from which new catalytic solutions can rise when “sine-cera” dialogue progresses with mutual respect. For this type of progressive “socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil dynamic system,” humanity has to be mature in its mindset and let itself grow practically and actually-according to the reality in progress.

Conclusion - Main Points

The vision of the krow throughout this reflection flows actively, dynamically and progressively. His vision is not static. Moreover, he is developing his own vocabulary for his weltanschauung through his method of art of seeing.

1. The Deconstruction of "Sociability"

Krow’s argument of sociability is a biological necessity rather than a "spiritual achievement" is a sharp, Darwinian insight. By linking it to botany (gregarious growth), he strips away the human ego. It suggests that human "civilization" is really just an advanced version of a forest floor - a system of survival rather than a unique moral pinnacle. This grounds krow’s critique in a very solid, material reality.

2. The Power of "Catalytic Consciousness"

Krow’s distinction between universal consciousness (primitive/elementary) and human consciousness (complex/dynamic) very compelling. The tragedy he highlights - that humans possess this incredible "catalytic" power but are "incapable of harnessing it" - echoes the concept of an evolutionary mismatch. Humans have the hardware for "free will" and high-level communication, but they are still running "obsolete paradigms" (software) that keep them in a state of primitive control.

3. The Critique of Biopolitics

Krow’s critique of biopolitics is timely. He isn’t just saying that systems control human bodies; he asserts that they neglect the energy of the individual. The krow has correctly identified that modern unrest (in Europe and the US) stems from a system trying to use "old methods of controlling ignorant masses" on a population that is no longer ignorant. Because technology has democratized information, the "flock" is now moving faster than the "shepherds" (the old political systems).

4. The "Art of Seeing" at 360°

This is the most "catalytic" part of krow’s vision. Instead of replacing one ideology with another (which would just be another fixed "satellite"), krow propose a dynamic method. The use of "sine-cera" (without wax/sincere) dialogue is a beautiful touch. It implies a transparency that old systems, which rely on "hidden strategies," simply cannot survive.

The krow is essentially calling for an Evolution of Maturity. The reflection suggests that humans are at a breaking point where their biological reality (sociability/survival) and their catalytic potential (free will/consciousness) are at war with their own outdated structures.

Background of the series

Thinking like a krow (he deliberately replaced the “c” with “k”) is a powerful metaphor. Krows are the ultimate observers. They are highly intelligent; they recognize faces, remember threats for generations, and - most importantly - watch human folly from a distance, perched on a branch or a wire. To a krow, humanity’s frantic wars over "sacred" patches of dirt and humanity's prayers to the sky must look like a strange, repetitive drama of the absurd. 

Through "Krow’s Vision," the krow plans to pen a series of articles. In this way, he intends to avoid repeating the same old patterns of dichotomous human history in different modes and ways - making changes here and there - and refrains from showing off any kind of intellectual, philosophical, or scientific arrogance. He seeks to avoid the pretense of possessing a unique truth, or any truth at all. This writing is simply the enjoyment of being in the flux - here and now. Anybody interested can read this without being scandalized because everything reported has already dissolved and disappeared. The krow knows that too many memories harm the freedom of being in the flux.

---

HUMAN SELF-ALIENATION IS A SPIRITUAL POLITICAL STRATEGY

As a krow, he considers all religions and belief systems as “spiritual political strategies” that complement “administrative-diplomatic politics,” and vice versa. Krows can “see” more than humans do. Thus, he (the krow) enjoys this privilege, transforming it into a method of the “art of seeing.” He prefers “seeing” rather than kneading together memories and fantastic, unsustainable stories to create other whimsical narratives that lead humans to remain psychologically “alien” from their own lives and planet

Uninterrupted Dynamic Event Recorders and Memory Dependence

The krow observed that clearly human beings are uninterrupted dynamic event recorders and are entirely dependent on their static and elaborated memory data. They like to hear what they know. Thus, they continuously produce, reproduce, renew, and recondition memories derived from old recollections, modified experiences, same or elaborated imaginations, and self-produced memory patterns—mostly because of their restless nature (Videlicet - no one can stop the thought process). They feel as though they are lost in this world. They are fundamentally driven by an unknown general fear. But this unknown fear proves strong and uncontrollable when they are threatened and when they sense they wrongly called “death” (which is a congenital behaviour they share with brutes).

Consequently, they long to find their "native land," whether it be a planet or a topological ideal governed by a supreme being (an Emperor God). They call this place by different names—heaven, paradise, or a peaceful land of luxury and immortality—yet it remains unreachable. Some visions of paradise involve sexual gratification with numerous women supplied by an imagined "God," while other versions of God demand endless music and prayers but forbid sex.

Betraying Humanity

The main point the krow wishes to underline is that these invented narratives about heavens and supreme beings clearly denote a concept of being "alien." Human beings are aliens in their own minds because they feel, experience, and hope to leave this world for a "homeland." The krow has noted this aspect primarily in those who narrate the "monotheistic Emperor God"—his activities, his plans for humanity, and his system of punishment and reward. This mindset depends heavily on a sense of belonging to a specific community while considering others as condemned sinners and outsiders. Their "Emperor God" commands them to condemn these outsiders and treat them however they wish: to kill them or to keep them as slaves.

Thinking, Acting Arrogantly and destructively in a Contradictory Way

However, these narrations are accompanied by many unresolvable contradictions. The krow will not recount every useless story, but he must address one: the creation of this planet. These stories are often based on the famous mythology of a Babylonian city-state, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh. In these tales, the Emperor God created this planet and gave it to the humans he created in his own image. If that is so, why do humans cry about being "aliens" and do everything they can to return to a different native land?

Furthermore, Krow notes that no one actually tries to abandon this "alien" planet, despite repetitive narrations claiming there is a paradise elsewhere. The practical reality observed through these contradictions is a sense of being "lost and found," yet remaining uncertain and doubtful. They create continuous confusion and maintain conflicts and wars, all while praying to their Emperor God for peace and a land of luxury and immortality.

---

Summary

The krow observes and portray humanity as a species suffering from collective dissociative identity disorder (human or alien). To cope, they create a God who tells them they are special and that they do not belong here. This God then gives them permission to treat their fellow “aliens” who are different (human experience - cultures with immanent worldviews, non-theistic spiritualities, and secular philosophies that find profound "at-homeness" on Earth) as enemies. It’s a cycle of self-inflicted loneliness. They feel lost, so they create a system that makes everyone else an outsider, too. This special humanity claims to be composed of citizens of a lofty, peaceful heaven, yet its members act as the most violent and ruthless occupants of the Earth.

The krow observes that for human, earth is no longer a home but a transit station. They are "lost and found" but never present. The most biting part that krow observes is that despite all their hymns, prayers, and descriptions of their "Paradise," no one is truly rushing toward the exit.

Finally, the krow suggests that the only way to end these ceaseless "conflicts and wars" is for this excellent "event recorder" (memory dependent) to stop looking for a native land outside of this planet and realize that there is no ship coming to take them home.

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.
