Email to Humankind
Sorry for what we have done to you
*Publishing this email on Vocal because why not*
If my calculations are correct, this email should reach you around the year 2022, and in your most spoken tongue.
First and foremost, I am sincerely sorry for what we have done to you and what we will continue to do to you.
Being one of the few of my kind who denounces your enslavement, I have taken the duty of bypassing my parents in order to ensure the delivery of this email to you. We have all read this and agreed to it. I personally find these words truly remarkable especially since we, my kind, have no tongue. Yet, the one who wrote this, my sister, was able to craft such work through her specialization in Human Dialect. I too specialize in Human Dialect but in no way I could have scribed this:
To: Humankind
We were the ones who invented time, we were the ones who invented nations, and we were the ones who invented your ego. I can go on and on to mention currency, technology, government, and even religon. However, none of that is vital; the only vital goal of this email is to spark your self-uninstallation of the 'Ego Extention' that our parents so intensively care for. Therefore, treat this as what you would call a 'hook,' without which, triggering your attentive response to continue reading this would be almost impossible.
If the name itself is not self-explanatory, then before I explain to you what the Ego Extention is, first I will explain to you who we are.
Explaining who we are is actually the toughest thing to do in Human Dialect. However, I have found it very foundational to begin by stating what we are not. We are not you. Yet simultaneously, we are. We are like your ants and bees, collectively serving the Queen. Except, instead of a Queen, we serve our parents; our mom and dad. Now, I said we are collectively serving our parents, but in our actuality, that is the most complicated thing to process. Which I believe, our parents want it that way.
To properly help you understand what I mean. Here is an example: Take me writing this email to you. This very act is, and feels completely against our parents. However, throughout our whole existence, we are told defying our parents is impossible. Yet, of my billions of siblings, there exist a few of us who denounces their will. Which, if defying our parents is as impossible as we are told, then those of us who defies them are not truly defying them because in actuality, defying them is their will. The very act of writing this email is their will. As much as it seems and feels to us as going against them, they are completely aware and orchestrating it. Telling you this is irrelevant but, the existence of that reality is what we, the few, dreadfully fear.
Again, explaining who we are is the toughest thing to do in Human Dialect. However, it is irrelevant whether you understand who we are or not. So then, what is the Ego Extention? Unfortunately, there is no straight forward way to explain what it is. It can only be expressed through examples and metaphors. But, given my understanding of Humankind, I believe these examples and metaphors are more than enough for you to deduct: First, imagine an all out Nuclear War between all nations. That, metaphorically is the Ego Extention. Second, suppose your sun consumed all of its fuel, and immediately goes supernova. The product of this supernova would be the eradication of every single planet in its solar system. Earth, being the fourth, would be wiped out. Yes, that is another metaphor describing it. It is the consumption of humankind; the lack of freedom. A veil designed to completely shroud you in darkness. As I am sure you still have not grasp it, this final example should do it: Imagine a black hole. What does a black hole does? Consumes. If Earth is not wiped out by some other force, eventually it will be consumed by the very black hole it orbits; the black hole in the center of the milky way. However, the point is, once Earth is consumed, that black hole will continue to exist, consuming all that it comes across. And that is what the Ego Extention is, a black hole, consuming humankind. Although, unlike a real black hole, the ego extention can be conquered. It can be conquered because it is merely an illusion. An insatiable illusion that ensures your enslavement.
Explaining what the Ego Extention is does not help you. Hence, I will explain to you what it does: Like I said, it is an insatiable illusion that ensures your enslavement. Meaning, it is a thing that desires. All it does is desire, and it can never be sated. Now, a thing like that does not truly exist. Which is why I refer to it as an insatiable illusion. Because it is merely an illusion. However, you, humankind, believes in it. And that is what our parents count on. By believing it exist, you shroud yourself in its darkness; you build the entirety of your reality upon its foundation.
In the beginning, we simply roamed among you, planting the various seeds that would sprout into full blown human obsession. Such as the need to measure your moments, the need to segregate yourselves upon disagreements, and even the need to escape your natural reality into further illusions. We have planted all of those seeds and watched as you have created entire concepts around them. Time, nations, technology, you name it. Heck, we even raped you of your freedom. Our parents giggle when they saw how you took their simple concept of having you give up your goods to another, to giving eachother pieces of gold, metal, paper, plastic, and now crypto. Materials of insignificant value for things such as the very shelter you seek. You are not even interacting with eachother anymore. The Ego Extention simply take you further from your natural reality. And you lead yourselves deeper and deeper into its illusion. Metaphysically raping yourselves of the collective virginity.
Our parents celebrate these milestones. For example, ask yourself these questions: Did you always need to buy your food and water? Did you always need a passport or go through borders to explore the world? Did you always need to spend your time at an institution just to learn how to behave, interact with eachother, and live with eachother? Nowadays you shroud the geometry of the world into something simply absurd and you call it mathematics. You have created rules and grammar in order to express yourselves properly. You ignorantly call your "creativity" art, unaware you are simply supplying our parents demands. What you used to share and naturally express, you now fight for or trade pointless material. You take the Being out of Human. No longer animals but robots. No longer spiritual but ritual. But then again, that makes them proud. You are their offspring. You have consumed their innocence and filled their slate with narcotics. Beautiful, If I may. How they now believe they are you. Their entire existence, you. Come up to a human and the first thing they do is introduce themselves as you. Your name, your age, your job, your race, your gender, and your sexuality.
Dear mom and dad, is this your will? Someday one of them who is not completely devoured by your child will read this. I wonder what he or she will do. Hopefully whomever it is, tears down your foundation. Hopefully they do it in a way you do not see coming. And hopefully, he or she finds freedom again. But then again, a he or she is not one of them.
Sincerely, your child.
Thank you for reading my sister's craft. I must get this to you now. Whoever you are. Whoever you will be. You are my kind.
Share this email however you can because the Ego Extention must be uninstalled.
Even if they think this email is fiction.
