MY AGATHOKAKOLOGICAL DAYS (day 02) by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
From the world of phenomena to space-time knowledge
Calendarization of life
Conventionally I address today as 10th September 2025. I did relevant organized activities according to this relative periodisation that we normally call calendarization of the financial year.
I may call it “calendarization” of the “life itself” because despite all the maniac and scrupulous separations of all 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 healthy relations and communicate what they wish without disturbing their individual and collective rhythm of life. This is life!?
Time is repeated motions of nature
Time is just the measure of repeated motions of the world of phenomena. Without this periodicity we cannot measure time. We have no other means to do this. So, our knowledge of time is all about the world of phenomena or natural world. No one can perceive, conceive or apprehend unquantified time. Thus, periodicity is the base of our knowledge of everything concerning time.
Experience of pulsation
Every living human being is experiencing necessarily 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 processes of growth, processes of decay and until death each human has to wiggle according to his/her rhythmical throbbing.
Seasons of the year
Beyond this rhythm of the heart, man also depends on the long period pulsations of nature: seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter. All changes of plant life directly but involuntarily affect the 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, the landscape of the town had changed. The riverbank and the sea beach 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 immediately.
Organized time studies
We have then rudimentary astrology and more scientifically founded astronomy and rigorous astrophysics of 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 periodic motion knowledge 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
Thus, the rotation and revolution of the Earth are the two most important periodic motions for human beings and the rest of existence. 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. therefore, the rotation and revolution, both movements of the Earth, are affecting relatively everything this planet contains. Despite all what I have said due to my (or any human's) constraints and limits in general and the delay in understanding the complex and complicated micro processes (movement, change, decay, transformation) of total existence, I may think erroneously that "time" as an objective phenomenon.
Conclusion
Well, then our knowledge of time, necessarily depends on the periodicity of the world of phenomena and the rotation and revolution of the Earth. This factual knowledge corresponds to our reality.

MY AGATHOKAKOLOGICAL DAYS - (day 01) - Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
I spend days to find or to compose the correspondent word for my thought
I encountered this adjective – “agathokakological” while I was organizing my collection of personal concepts for my thought processes to make a personal dictionary. I found this term in a phrase written by the English poet Robert Southey (1813-1843): “For indeed upon the agathokakological globe there are opposite qualities always to be found.” It is truly one of the best combinations I have ever used, different from official academic repetitions. So, I have decided to apply this adjective, a combination of “good” and “evil” together (agathos – good + kakos-bad, evil + logos-study), as the title of my daily reflection.
My first try of narrating life – “WATER, Man the Narrator”
For years, I avoided the powerful desire to write down my feelings on paper or any other means of communication. But I couldn't help it, and as a result, fifteen years ago I started my comic story "WATER, Man the Narrator" to narrate my story philosophically and epistemologically to understand myself. The comic story still gives me a lot of fun and helps me to cohesively organize the relevant logical patterns of my mind. I have started to communicate my world view synthetically and concisely in comic dialogues. I am experiencing how my dynamic world is moving, changing, and transforming. I have also vividly noticed the mind's dynamism and its dependent and independent reality. Furthermore, the most intriguing thing is to perceive the dynamic nature of memories and logical patterns of the mind: they are dynamic and without definitive forms, which in turn behave just like water that takes the shape of its container.
No worries – my systemic and epistemological refusal
I do not think, worry, or take seriously other people's judgments about me. Others (including my so-called family members and friends) cannot say anything about me for certain, for several fundamental reasons that no one can possibly know. I have a clearly distinct individual life of my own. I have never opened it and let anybody know about it yet. That is why I simply ignore everything others say. To me, they are simply projecting their flaws, their effects, their likes and dislikes, their emotional issues, and what they suffer to make me one of their scapegoats. This has happened to me often since my childhood. The so-called others around me considered me a problem and a challenge because of my direct reactions and answers. They all tried to do whatever bad they could to harm me and avoid me. But I opened my eyes long before these tricks of ambiguous, narrow-minded, and above all hypocritical world. This is simply a refusal to validate a broken system (SPEC - socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil).
On the other hand, my perspective moves from the personal ("they don't understand me") to the radically analytical ("the structure they operate within is a fabricated and flawed construct"). For example, my argument is that the primary unit of society – the so-called "natural family" is not a biological or divine inevitability but a SPEC construct (Socio-Political-Economic-Cultural), a cleverly designed apparatus for social control and cohesion.
The fish out of water
I have always been a fish out of water when it comes to cultural and civil world relations and communication. I have noted the ambiguous, bigoted, petty-mindedness of conventional society. They habitually answer with cut-and-dried, non-correspondent words and abuse power and status to hide the relative facts. This uncomfortable situation regarding conventional societies, institutes, and religions made it difficult for me to establish healthy and strong relationships. But the catalytic force of my being has always carried me forward despite it all.
Now that I am an adult in every sense: in age, in intelligence, in practical life experience, and above all, having achieved what I always dreamed of from my childhood, I know what I am fundamentally.
So, for more than a week, I have been thinking for the umpteenth time again about writing what comes freely to mind but keeping the experience of the day as the foundation. In this way, I can understand myself as a cultural and civilized individual and how I move within the universal flow.

A NEW DEFINITION OF 21ST CENTURY SLAVERY? (01) by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
“Human trafficking is the third biggest illicit trade on the planet, behind only illegal arms and drugs. We all aware that slavery is a global problem that’s difficult to eradicate too, but if anybody is willing to do something to stop this within their living area, that is the choice we need. Your will connected with action can stop it”.
A NEW DEFINITION OF 21ST CENTURY SLAVERY?
Why this reflection?
When humans were less sophisticated, objectively, instrumental, intellectually and especially linguistically, actions and reactions were direct and explicit. They did not hide behind “dark rhetoric” and instrumentalizing “human rights”, “democracy” and abusing power and trust for self and group interests. Today everything has been rendered banal and inaccurate by the explicit abuse of communication through scientific and technological advancement. Inaccuracy and banality have become qualities of the so-called “normal”. Thus, the invented and fragile “humanity” and “cultural-civil” dynamics are challenged by continuous conflicts and wars. These in turn unlock and encourage a primitive congenital pleasure: dominion over others and playing with victims to feel safe, great and powerful. They do this because “they can”. Thus, we have on-going “neo-colonization” and “neo-slavery” all over the world with 50 million slaves. (28 million in forced labour and 22 million in forced marriage- 2021). The root of contemporary slavery is linked to neo-colonialism, neo-imperialism, conflicts, wars, poverty, discrimination, and a lack of SPEC (socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil) system protection.
Slavery is worse than a pandemic
Slavery exists in every country. I am writing this on 02nd September 2025, and the relevant numbers and tragic incidents I know of have increased exponentially during these years of fragmented and dispersed Third World War around the world. For example, in Gaza, though there are no exact calculations available, according to different approximate calculations, tens of thousands of women and children as of August 2025 are missing. This crucial and worse than pandemic human behaviour right now is overwhelmingly growing all over the world in almost all human activities. The world organizations are just collecting data with big world information and AI companies thinking of nothing further than informing among them and maybe sending collected data to relevant countries. These data may help the relevant countries to take suitable action to eradicate slavery(?).
Normalized slavery is enjoyable
Conclusion
Therefore, this reflection is necessary because, as I have briefly reported above, the architecture of human subjugation has evolved despite human rights, international laws and local SPEC systems, like a virus gradually creating antibodies, gets used to the antidote. Now slavery is growing further aggressively, making more victims. It has migrated from the overt, physical chains sanctioned by law to the subtle, insidious systems sanctioned by economy, technology, and social indifference.
21st-century slavery is a condition of pervasive exploitation maintained not solely by physical force, but by calculated and systemic pressures. It is the asymmetric power dynamic where one's labour, body, or existence is rendered disposable for another's profit or convenience. Its core mechanism is not ownership of people, but the strategic control over their options, trapping them in cycles of dependency from which escape is engineered to be improbable or impossible.
Its instruments are modern:
The algorithm that optimizes for maximum engagement at the cost of mental well-being, creating digital sharecroppers of our attention.
• The supply chain that externalizes cost onto the most vulnerable, demanding a pace and price that can only be met by exploitative labour.
• The debt structure - from predatory payday loans to indentured servitude through migration brokers, that creates a perpetual obligation, negating the freedom of one's own future labour.
• The legal framework that criminalizes poverty and irregular status, channelling individuals into for-profit prison systems where their work is compelled for little to no pay.
Thus, the new colonization is not of land, but of life itself - of time, attention, and biological necessity, creating a global hierarchy of the used and the users.
I issue a personal summons: do what lies within your power to halt the critical emergency of human trafficking. We must train a relentless focus on the particular scourge of child trafficking. Our world’s SPEC (socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil) machinery, willy-nilly, grinds on in service to money and power, systematically neglecting the poor and the oppressed. This is the 21st century, yet it remains plagued by ancient horrors like - debt bondage, child labour, forced prostitution, sex slaves, child soldiers, organ harvesting. This ends only if we converge. Your awareness is a start; your action is crucial. So, how do we start? What can we do? Begin immediately. Begin within your orbit. Pay attention. Act.

Freedom and Freedom of Love Within SPEC Invented "Natural-Family" Scheme (part 01) By Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome

An Open Letter to the 21st centuries Global Common Mind-set (LETTER 02) by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
An Open Letter to the 21st centuries Global Common Mind-set (LETTER 02)
Objective of letter 02: The Suicide of Sameness (uniform-flat mind-set)
The philosophy of complementary humanism as I defined it founded on differences and opposites that complete mutually: “At its core, complementarity refers to a relationship in which different elements interact in a way that enhances or completes one another, creating a functional or conceptual whole greater than the sum of its parts. This principle suggests that opposites or distinct entities can coexist in a mutually beneficial relationship rather than in conflict.” Consequently, this practical philosophy frames a uniform mentality as auto-destructive and suicidal processes. Thus, I avoid this letter being mere moralizing to a practical warning: that is to say, this, uniform and flattened world mindset isn’t simply “bad for others”; it is ultimately self-annihilating for any SPEC system or individual or group or society that practices it.
A uniform and flat mentality destroys diversity.
What does this statement convey? I, first break it down to observe how it’s so significant, examining it from individual, organizational and societal perspectives.
This mentality can be described as:
A. Uniform: Demanding conformity, sameness, and adherence to a single way of thinking, behaving, and believing. It estimates consistency over creativity.
B. Flat: Lacking depth, nuance, or hierarchy of different effective perspectives. It dismisses complexity and seeks simple, one-size-fits-all answers.
C. Enforced and shielded under quasi dogmatic-fanatic invisible authorities.
This mentality is often enforced through extremist groupthink, rigid traditions, oppressive systems, and a SPEC system that prizes assimilation above all else. This type of mentality is already being released and propagated under the name of AI systems. For example, through AI, a “uniform-flat” human mind-set is more active than through socio-politic-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) processes (But this argument about AI, has to be discussed separately in another letter because it goes too deep).
Petty Knowledge and SPEC system dominion leads to a hackneyed boring world
Right now, the so-called scientific, technological, and other forms of intellectual knowledge are clearly under Western, U.S.A., and allies’ control, and nobody can freely come up with a new knowledge or theory. No matter the value and the functionality of a theory or knowledge, without the approval of this “visible-invisible” power, it cannot be applied or welcomed. Effectively, we are already gazing at such a smell of this flat and uniform knowledge in all academic institutions all over the world and in what we can read in so-called great books (full of cliché). They all are thinking with the same concepts, words, procedures, methods, and accorded or unchallenging outcomes that never confront or compromise the West-U.S.A. and allies’ “visible-invisible” authority.
Uniform and flat mind-set lead to auto-destruction and suicidal mind-set
I briefly jot down about this with some extremist SPEC movements that had historically reported devastating situations to the whole world, yet they are still being working for a “uniform and flat” world. Namely they are – Fascism (present day Neo-Fascist movement or Far-right movements)) and Nazism (at present: Neo-Nazism).
The drive toward a uniform and flat mentality is not just a characteristic of fascism and Nazism; it is their very foundation and primary mechanism of control.
Both ideologies are built on the violent enforcement of a single, monolithic identity and the eradication of all diversity - racial, political, ideological, cultural, psychological and intellectual.
Here’s a few points on how this tendency manifests as the core of fascist and Nazi ideology:
1. The Myth of the Homogeneous National Community (Volksgemeinschaft)
I. The Core Idea: Nazism in Germany and fascism in Italy promoted the concept of a national community based on purity and unity. For the Nazis, this was the Volksgemeinschaft (people's community), which was defined by a shared "blood" or race (Aryan/Nordic).
II. Eradication of Diversity: This community was, by definition, exclusive. It required the identification and elimination of those deemed "outsiders" or "enemies of the state" who were blamed for the nation's problems. This included Jews, Roma and Sinti (Gypsies), Slavs, Black people, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and political and intellectual dissidents.
III. The "Flat" Mentality: The complexity of a modern, diverse society was rejected in favour of a simplistic, mythical past of racial purity and national glory. Anyone who complicated this narrative was a threat.
2. The Rejection of Pluralism and Debate
I. "One People, One Empire, One Leader" (Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer): This Nazi slogan perfectly encapsulates the rejection of diversity. Pluralism, the idea that multiple groups, parties, and ideas can coexist and compete peacefully - is the antagonist of fascism.
II. Suppression of Opposition: All rival political parties, trade unions, and independent media were abolished. There was to be no debate, no dissent, and no alternative sources of power or information. The state's ideology was the only permitted truth.
3. The Cult of Tradition and Anti-Intellectualism
I. Rejection of "Decadent" Modern Art: The Nazis infamously condemned modern, abstract, and avant-garde art as "degenerate" (Entartete Kunst). They favoured a flat, simplistic, and heroic artistic style that served state propaganda.
II. Attack on Intellectuals: Free-thinking intellectuals, scientists, and philosophers who challenged the regime's simplistic worldview were persecuted, fired from universities, and forced into exile or worse. Ideas were only valued if they served the state's ideology.
4. The Scapegoating of the "Other"
I. Creating a Unified "Us" vs. a Demonized "Them": This is perhaps the most critical tool. A uniform mentality cannot be created solely through positive reinforcement of unity. It requires a common enemy to define itself against. The present world is unanimously accorded with treating “immigrants” as the common enemy. As the world is convinced, the most civilized and rich countries of Europe, U.S.A. and their allies are explicitly following this idea: immigrant is an enemy and a threat to be eliminated. They have instrumentalized strategically human rights, democracy, sovereign state and defence of territories from enemies.
II. Diversity as a Threat: Nazis portrayed diversity itself as a Jewish-Bolshevik plot to weaken the nation. The existence of different ethnicities, political beliefs, and sexual orientations was framed not as a natural state of society but as a deliberate attack on the "health" of the Volk. The "final solution"—the Holocaust—was the ultimate, horrific expression of the desire to eliminate this diversity and create a "pure," uniform society.
I would explicitly ask those Jews in Israel today who are deliberately targeting innocent children, youth, adults, and the elderly and bombing schools, nurseries, and hospitals in Gaza – are you conscious of your history and your present lifestyle? Are you thinking of an ideologically perfect state where there are no enemies and differences, but everything is homogeneous, as Hitler believed and tried to establish? I have added these two questions because even today, 25 August 2025, the Israeli army targeted a hospital and killed innocents and journalists in Gaza. It is absurd!
Conclusion
This is the great paradox of your pursuit of safety through sameness: it is the most dangerous gamble you can make. You are sacrificing your freedom of being in the world as an authentic individual, your creativity, your resilience, your adaptability, and your understood very humanity, on the bench of a comfortable, yet false, consensus.
The alternative is not chaos or SPEC anarchism. It is intelligent pluralism. It is a society that understands strength is derived from a symphony of differences, not a monotonous drone. It is the courage to be challenged, the humility to learn from conflict, and the wisdom to build systems that protect the right to be different, not the mandate to be the same.
So, if can wisely and freely, Stop the suicide. Embrace the friction. Seek out the dissonant voice, the unfamiliar idea, the person and perspective that does not fit. For it is only in that diversity - of thought, of identity, of experience - that any true and lasting security can ever be found.

An Open Letter to the 21st centuries Global Common Mind-set (LETTER 01) by Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
An Open Letter to the 21st centuries Global Common Mind-Set (LETTER 01)
Why this letter
I’m writing this letter in favour of my world vision based on philosophy of complementary humanism. But this is not merely a philosophical reflection but a sort of manifesto with a dense, articulate, and unflinching diagnosis of the central pathology of our time. I know my style is academic yet visceral, philosophical yet urgent, which is precisely what a topic of this gravity demands. I avoid cliché and invite the reader to confront uncomfortable realities.
Fear of difference and world SPEC systems
The world is what each individual sees what he/she wants and desire to see. But the present dynamic (dynamic means move, change, transform, decay and continue in “now” wiggling processes) world that one observes is not something so called “pure” or an “exclusively individual creation”, imagination or construction. It is rather deliberately and systematically manipulated by invented stories, ethical and moral fables and systematic Socio-political-economic-cultural-civil (SPEC) indoctrinations. Consequently, such a manipulated mind-set can never project a genuine world, but only the kind we observe even 21st century: one plagued by the same bloody new forms of imperialism enforced by conveniently activated unscrupulous religionism, racism, nationalism, neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, terrorism and criminal organization dominations. This is a world of killings, an accelerated common mind fearing difference and the carrying out of world- flattening mind-set programmes against natural diversities. In brief, any world “common mind-set” is not organic, but a deliberately engineered product designed to create a “flat world” easy to dominate and control.
The target on child-hood indoctrination
One of the most preoccupying, contorted, prejudice based, and violent and intolerant minded activities strategically embedded within an old-fashioned world vision is that of common human cultural mind-set. In almost all socio-political-economic-cultural (SPEC) systems state education systems and religious institutions strategically target common children. They are indoctrinated from childhood to hate, refuse and destroy difference. They forcefully formed to think, decide and act for a uniform-world, a flat world that is easy to dominate and control. We are almost there in 2025.
Targeted Definitions of Differences
Differences are defined as problems, anomalies and pathologies to be cured, keep under control or - if the relative SPEC system is challenged by them - to be destroyed by using “instrumentalized human rights” and “democracy”. They are just tolerated when there is no other choice for reasons such as their lack of a majority or relative powerlessness.
An Open Invitation for All
I am not writing this against none. I simply observe how the world is processing within critical parameters. My aim is to invite anybody to reflect on these facts from a 21st century critical point of view. The humanity we have modelled over thousands of years must be changed for its better function and survival. We are willy-nilly assisting un-necessary conflicts, wars and killings all over the world due to our close-mindedness, self-hatred and emotional disturbances projected onto differences - particularly those of gender, race, religion, group, skin colour, political views, different ideas and region. Thus, I wrote this brief open letter to all human beings.

WATER - MAN THE NARRATOR 10 - Autobiographical-philosophical digital web comic page 09 - by Ajith Rohan J.T.F.
I was able to forge Eastern practical philosophy,
Western thought, and my own personal experience into a model for my pragmatic
philosophy of complementary humanism. No one can say that nothing is real. What
is most real, socially and culturally, is this fluid, evolving story. Thus, I
“see” only the beauty of perpetual wiggling nature (moving, becoming, decaying, transforming). It is a powerful reminder that a
life well-lived seeds the future with endless, beautiful stories and, in doing
so, transcends its own biological and biographical limits.

“Your death is my life” based 21st Century Humanity - Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
This is the approximate bloody image of our world: “Mors tua, vita mea” - the Latin phrase translates to “your death, my life” or “your death is my life.” I prefer to use the second translation in this article: “Your death is my life.”
PREMISE
When the world is a den of SPEC (socio-political-economic-cultural) killers, criminals, terrorists, and thieves, all cling to the principle: “your death is my life.”
Human History Is Portrayed by Killings, Conflicts, and Wars
Yet, a mentality rooted in historical guilt biases Western and U.S. policymakers toward this “quasi-alien” people. How much longer must the world endure Israel’s gratuitous violence against innocents? They kill and justify atrocities by labelling victims as “terrorists” or “antisemitic.” What about the children, women, and elderly? Are they all “terrorists” and “antisemitic”?
“Guilty Conscience Troubles the Mind” – Western and U.S.A. Politics
Is the silence regarding Israeli killings due to a “guilty conscience” over World War II? As an Asian-origin academic living in Europe (Rome), I still find this strange, as I have no concept of so-called “antisemitism.” I suspect this term, beyond its original meaning, has been instrumentalized to advance certain strategies. It resembles children exploiting their parents’ guilt to get what they want. For instance, Germany provides war logistics to this “special group” (who claim to be “chosen by their God”) to kill Hamas members in Gaza. Yet, we clearly see that no terrorists, but children, adolescents, women, the elderly, and journalists are being slaughtered daily with these weapons.
Historical guilt over past “errors” does not justify arming killers and staying silent as they massacre innocents. The Western world is undoubtedly a great and attractive place to live and collaborate, with advanced academic, scientific, technological, and theoretically human rights-based democratic systems. Its SPEC (socio-political-economic-cultural) systems function better than most. Yet, a mentality rooted in historical guilt biases Western and U.S. policymakers toward this “quasi-alien” people. How much longer must the world endure Israel’s gratuitous violence against innocents? They kill and justify atrocities by labelling victims as “terrorists” or “antisemitic.” What about the children, women, and elderly? Are they all “terrorists” and “antisemitic”?
The concept of “antisemitism” remains strange and quasi-unidentified to me. For example, Asian people are unfamiliar with this instrumentalized, clamoured-about concept, defined as “prejudice against” or “hatred of Jews” (or far-right quasi-fascist Zionists?)
Instrumentalized – “Antisemitism” and “Russophobia”
I have no personal interest in or relations with this group, which the West and U.S.A. fanatically and dogmatically protect. But for me, the killing of children, youth, women, and the elderly - and the bombing of schools, nurseries, and hospitals - is intolerable. What this “special people” demand is simple: global recognition as a nation. Though their tricky manoeuvring to gain Western, U.S., and U.N. approval as a country can be tolerated, their actions in Gaza defy their claimed principles.
The world, as I said, is changing. Old systems are fading, losing their spirit due to incoherent and immature mindsets.
International community is dragging the world into an “unknown crisis”?
We do not approve of Hamas’ killings. But “we don’t bite a dog that has bitten us.” We must act wisely and diligently. When Israel follows the same ruthless methods as Hamas, what is the difference? No one can accept Gaza’s killings just because Hamas killed people two years ago. The world, as I said, is changing. Old systems are fading, losing their spirit due to incoherent and immature mindsets.
Russophobia

The Unchanged Playbook: War-Peace and Paranoid Politics of 21 century - By Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
"One thing is worth remembering, today, individual and collective human stories are screaming that the control of the world is impossible but violently destroying it, pushing it toward extinction is all too possible".
Introduction
Through this article I am mulling to draw a parallel between modern geopolitics and timeless human tendencies of violence, manipulation, domination, bullying, war, and storytelling as tools of control and survival. Despite all advancements, including technological and societal progress, global powers still use the same brutal tactics: colonial “divide and rule” strategies, cold war proxy conflicts, racism, nationalism, neo-Nazism, fascism and the exploitation of complicated biased religious differences. One thing is worth remembering, today, individual and collective human stories are screaming that the control of the world is impossible but violently destroying it, pushing it toward extinction is all too possible. The world has transformed into a labyrinth of complex yet fragmented systems among which there is no compatibility, only fundamental contradictions and hypocrisies. Core idea: Power abuse hasn’t evolved, it’s just better disguised.
“The Croods” story and Actual world processes
"Moreover, humanity’s grand narratives and celebrations of 'progress' often mask regression, like colonial empires boasting civilization while erasing cultures, or modern corporations touting sustainability as they raze forests".
It is logically and practically impossible, therefore absurd to discuss time traveling, whereas time is just a human perception. But we can create stories and turn them into visual narratives (any type of movies, videos, and graphic stories like comics and graphic novels) to understand our imaginations. The man-made world consists of this great instrument, which facilitates tangible archaeological ruins and other objectively interpretable written materials to become 2D and 3D stories like The Croods.
The cartoon story "The Croods" helped me structure, with great visualization, an understanding of how the so-called primitive world and the present world’s dynamics are slowly destroying forests, valleys, mountains, oceans, and animals and by doing this, gradually leading human beings to extinction along with their territories, cultures, civilizations, and stories, leaving behind only bare space for accelerated natural transformation to prevail. This story logically demonstrates the central role of general “privation” or relative “necessity” as the creative, inventive, and progressive power behind the entire man-made world. Further, The Croods reveal humanity’s self-destructive ingenuity.
Human beings are storytellers par excellence. Without this unique quality, a "man-made world" would be impossible. Thus, we can understand that human beings first invent stories and then live them is the logical pattern that defines all of human history. Therefore, through The Croods, in their artistic creativity, we see, while standing concretely in the present, how primitive human actions, reactions, and their consequences changed and transformed the world and humanity. In brief, I argue that what we are doing is creating different logical processes with relative qualities, simply fighting for survival yet raising a clamour of black rhetoric for everything, like a hen making a big noise after laying just one egg. Moreover, humanity’s grand narratives and celebrations of 'progress' often mask regression, like colonial empires boasting civilization while erasing cultures, or modern corporations touting sustainability as they raze forests.
Shadows of Invisible Hands: The Puppeteers of Modern War
"In any case, international politics today is far stranger than in the past. I imagine invisible hands and puppets firing relentlessly, killing children and women and the great international community is celebrating their strategies with satisfaction. So, if, as I said, international politics is a puppet show, then human history itself is a story we keep rewriting one where the lines between savagery and progress blur".
The world is always being plagued by its relative conflicts and wars, just like now in 2025. But the underlying current problems aren’t much different from ancient times, and neither are the basic tactics. Some obvious yet unprovable strategies remain concerning such as the politics of convenience, the politics of bullies, the politics of buying and selling consensus, and letting others do the dirty work.
Furthermore, when convenient, some countries have previously financed and supplied weapons to so-called terrorist and criminal groups (for example The U.S. funding of Mujahideen in Afghanistan, 1980s. To counter the Soviet Union, the U.S. armed groups that later became Al-Qaeda, fuelling decades of terrorism. This proxy strategy outsourced violence while maintaining a peacekeeping façade). They tolerate and ignore war crimes, clearly because it serves their interests or as a tactic to keep a country, a nation, group or an individual under control, preventing it from becoming a future threat. In any case, international politics today is far stranger than in the past. I imagine invisible hands and puppets firing relentlessly, killing children and women and the great international community is celebrating their strategies with satisfaction. So, if, as I said, international politics is a puppet show, then human history itself is a story we keep rewriting one where the lines between savagery and progress blur.
Stop Killings and Stop Looking Backwards
"Civilization itself demands we stop enabling those who hold the world hostage to fulfil their ambitions through brutality. Gaza is the starkest example: a land stolen for a playground of the wealthy, its people erased from their own homes, dismissed as “non-land”.
It seems absurd and out of place in an age of human rights to witness killings treated as routine. Every day, people kill one another more easily, even before these human rights documents existed. As a cultured and civilized individual, I find these killings deeply disturbing and disgusting. To me, they represent barbaric acts that disregard common cultural and civil agreements.
Those who kill, who knows for what purpose or by whose authority, carry out plans hidden from the civilized world. Among all the conflicts and wars in the world, the killings in Gaza concern me most. I don’t know who has given silent or direct approval to kill children, adolescents, women, and the elderly instead of the so-called terrorists, who rarely (if ever) die in these attacks. Nobody seems to care about the killers, why?
The shared principles of civilization demand an end to holding the world hostage for selfish gains no matter how barbaric or inhumane the methods. What’s happening in Gaza is especially alarming: we are now witnessing a luxury ‘free zone’ for the global elite, built on the forced expulsion and displacement of Palestinians from their so-called ‘non-land.
Conclusion - World dominant paranoid political traits
"The true danger today is paranoid leaders, whose actions threaten to infect entire world with their own delusions, turning shared history into a self-fulfilling prophecy of fear".
Paranoid individuals observe reality through bias and prejudice. Their convictions are more hostile than those of the average person. A paranoid "person" interprets unintentional behaviour of someone as deliberate or threatening. One can easily imagine certain national leaders operating under the same unfounded mistrust, making social cohesion and meaningful relationships impossible. Their mindset mirrors "the war of all against all." Worse, the paranoid individual is prepared to strike first consumed by the fear of being destroyed, they act swiftly to ensure survival.
Historical evidence undeniably proves the existence of "paranoid politics" in global affairs. Moreover, it is clear that such paranoia still permeates today’s political processes. Certain leaders of so-called great and powerful nations, along with allied groups of rulers and shadowy dominant forces, openly engage in the world’s most ruthless and deceitful games.
While economic manipulation may be tolerated, humanity is now witnessing something far worse: horrific, cruel, and abominable massacres of children, adolescents, women, and the elderly slaughtered; nurseries, schools, hospitals, and so-called holy sites bombed. These paranoid criminals not only commit such atrocities but also justify them, reinforcing their own delusions. Today the world is a shattered mirror. No cohesion. Only reflections of greed, fear, and the same old lies.
Finally, I affirm that while we all naturally experience a bit of paranoia and history, the truly paranoid endure a double affliction: tormented not only by the real world, like everyone else, but also by the jumbles of their own fantasies. Yet the gravest burden today lies in the fact that paranoid political leaders, through their actions, are dragging the entire world into a collective state of paranoia.

Human Violence vs. Complementary Humanism (No. 02) By Ajith Rohan J.T.F., Rome
This reflection probes deeply into the paradoxical nature of human violence, oscillating between unconscious drives and conscious justifications. I observe that humans, despite their cultural and ethical frameworks, often revert to a state of "unconscious-conscious contradiction," where violence is rationalized or even celebrated when convenient. This duality is starkly evident in historical and contemporary atrocities, where moral boundaries dissolve under the weight of power, ideology, and/or perceived necessity. My style of reading and narrating, by linking historical hypocrisy to modern atrocities must become a manifesto against the collective historical amnesia of all.
A Possible Definition of Human Violence
Universal and Natural Level
There is no such thing as violence or nonviolence at the universal, natural level. Everything occurs freely and spontaneously. No entity exists to judge according to conventional, habitual, or written prejudices, laws, rules, or regulations, nor to punish or reward.
Violence is Adamantly a Human Perspective
What is Violence, then?
We have endured continuous local, regional, and global wars, as well as revolutions against various unjust causes. The harrowing experiences from these conflicts led to universal agreements to live without war, striving instead for peaceful relations and communication. Otherwise, as Thomas Hobbes noted, human beings in motion would perpetually clash, much like the spontaneous universe. The "man-made world" would then become a realm of homo homini lupus est and thus, bellum omnium contra omnes (the war of all against all).
According to the UNDRR’s definition of violence, each human being must first respect themselves and others as individuals, as groups, with their psychological differences, ways of living, and distinct SPEC (Socio-Political-Economic-Cultural) systems. Humans ought to coexist without harming one another physically (no killing, infliction of harm, or injury) or psychologically.
Method
I have observed the behaviour of both individuals and conveniently agglomerated groups in their pursuit of objective targets, particularly through the use of black rhetoric and the ambiguous application and interpretation of laws, rules, and punishments. These tactics are neither new nor of my invention; they have existed since the dawn of human societies and remain deeply ingrained in behavioural patterns today.
It is fascinating, albeit disturbing, to witness their shameless effrontery as they play their dirty games in public, adorned with hollow decorum and empty honour. Thus, in this second part of the article on “Human Violence vs. Complementary Humanism,” I propose a fresh lens for interpreting select historical events, one that exposes these enduring patterns of coercion and deceit.
Historical Patterns of Violence: From Concealed Hypocrisy to Open Slaughter
I observe that history reveals the same violence, repackaged. Let us trace its mutations from the intimate to the existential. Through my historical selections, I intertwine different but logically relevant examples, each representing a distinct facet of institutionalized violence, personal hypocrisy, state-sanctioned silencing, ideological extremism, and modern warfare, constructing a cohesive argument.
King David and the Weaponization of Power
A rational reader may wonder why I cite a biblical figure to prove my argument. First, I respect this collection of historical, philosophical, and cultural books as I do other so-called sacred texts like the Bible, Quran, and Torah. The Bible was a powerful tool of colonizers, used to subdue ancient civilizations after conquest. Thus, the world’s cultural-civilizational mentality remains influenced by these texts. None can deny that global cultural hegemony is still shaped by this book, which underpins Western-U.S. thought.
Socrates and the Violence of ‘Order’
Hitler: The Human Shadow Unleashed
Ongoing Warfare: Russia, Ukraine, Gaza
Today’s wars are no less cynical. Russia invades Ukraine under pretences of ‘denazification,’ while obliterating cities. Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, framed as ‘self-defence,’ replicates the very trauma Jews endured in the Holocaust. The script never changes - elites invoke past wounds to justify new ones, while the powerless die for abstractions: borders, histories, ‘security.’
Gaza and the Inversion of Trauma
The Holocaust remains humanity’s darkest testament to industrialized genocide a crime so monstrous that ‘Never Again’ became a universal oath. Yet in Gaza, we witness a grotesque irony: victims of historical persecution now wield overwhelming military force against a stateless population, repeating cycles of collective punishment they once endured. This is not moral equivalence but a tragic ‘exposure’ of how trauma, when weaponized by power, distorts justice into vengeance. The warning is clear: unhealed wounds, institutionalized, become future weapons.
Conclusion for Part 02
By writing this second part of the series, my aim is to strip away illusions, forcing humanity to confront its own contradictions - a rupture in collective denial where trauma, hypocrisy, or institutionalized violence can no longer be masked by rhetoric (e.g., King David’s piety, Hitler’s populism, or modern war propaganda). This study must serve as a diagnostic tool, like a surgeon cutting into flesh to reveal infection. My method dissects historical events to expose the congenital nature of human violence. The grotesque irony in Gaza is a systematic exposé (in Chinese, bàolù) of trauma’s cyclical corruption: power, even when born of suffering, replicates the structures it once resisted.
Philosophically, I use historical examples to reflect violence as a culturally human-made phenomenon, justified by laws, fear, traditions, and tribalism. One might think I provoke readers by connecting Hitler to modern extremism or Gaza to Holocaust inversion, forcing uncomfortable introspection. Yet, while respecting differing viewpoints, I affirm that humanity keeps reproducing violence, sometimes in ways that echo past horrors. The solution is not to rank atrocities but to:
1. Learn from history (how dehumanization leads to massacre),
2. Apply consistent ethical standards (condemn war crimes, whoever commits them),
3. Reject ideological demonization (whether anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, or nationalist).
If these patterns are congenital, is transcendence possible? Part 3 will explore whether Complementary Humanism can dismantle the machinery it built.
