The Escapist Notion
Unveiling Human Nature: The Escapist Revolution
Lyrics
To elevate humans conscious we must first
To improve human consciousness, a foundational step is necessary
Modernise our understandings and beliefs
We need to update our knowledge and beliefs
Through re-education and meditative introspection
This involves both re-education and reflective self-examination
The environment supporting primitive value systems must alter to sustain this new worldview
The environment, currently supportive of primitive values, must change to sustain a new worldview
Human behaviour is simply a persons value system relative to their environment
Human behavior is a reflection of an individual's values within their surroundings
Ethics is relative to culture
Ethics is subjective and varies with culture
For our social system promotes and rewards competition and self interest
Social systems encouraging competition and self-interest lead to abnormal behavior
Directly generating aberrant behaviour
This directly results in deviant behavior
Corruption is the norm
Corruption is widespread and considered normal
Acceptance of support
Accepting assistance is seen as the standard
Considered right and normal
This acceptance is deemed right and usual
If you removed the ones who rule
Removing those in power reveals alternative leaders
Time will reveal substitutes
Over time, substitutes for the removed leaders will emerge
Its not any one group that's to blame
No single group is solely responsible for societal issues
Many argue against this view with the escapist notion that "human nature" causes competition
Many argue against blaming competition on "human nature"
And need for dominance
Claims that competition and dominance are inherent are unsupported by evidence
Unsupported by the facts
Refuting the notion that human nature is the cause
We are near clean slates when born
At birth, individuals are relatively free from preconceived notions
Environment dictates who we are, how we behave
The environment plays a significant role in shaping identity and behavior
For this revolution
A call for revolution or significant change
Don't try to fight the products
Advice not to confront the symptoms but address the root causes
Of this sick social structure
The products of a flawed social structure should be isolated
Isolate the root causes, neutralize
Neutralizing the root causes is essential for progress
This is the only path to ascend
The only path to improvement is to eliminate the underlying issues
