“Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.” Andy Warhol
I am fully convinced that whereever you are, whoever you are ,or whatever you do in this world you're going to be under slavery of someone, or an object. Doesn't matter if you're an King living lavioushly, or an person born into a 3rd world.
- You didn't choose your race, nationality, gender, social status, your parents, the society you were born into, and yes your looks too. All these things enslave you since you're forced to define yourself under these factors, and there is not much you can do to change them.
- You're born and all of sudden society expects a whole list of things from you. Go to school, walk the pavement, be a wage slave, get married and get fucked, and then in the end DIE.
- Feelings/Ego/Brain chemistry. You have absolutely no control over the feelings you feel at any given moment. Depression, anger, hunger, lust, euphoria, envy etc. are all out of our control. Its just a bunch of neurons firing against eachother that makes you feel that.
- Flock behaviour. You see it all the time in nature, and all the time in humans. Emergent behaviour and flock mentality is very much an additional controlling fact facing humans.
- Money is a big one, the whole thing is just a collective delusion and yet most people spend most of their lives trying to get more of it... to see the numbers go up on their glowing screen. It's very much a game.
- Time. Ever since the clock was created, man has commoditized time which has allowed a dollar value to be placed on time, and allowed Capitlism to be born... e.g. jobs whether paid as a salary or an hourly rate are still paying you a certain level of delusional numbers for your hour of time. If time = life and time = money we are really just selling our lives to the highest bidder.
A german philosopher also defined this as "throwness" which means you were just "thrown" into existence with no choice of any basis factors, and you have to definde yourself under these.
