The Biology of Capitalism and Economy
The mind of humankind is a powerful tool. It creates things that some enjoy, others reject. It develops ways of thinking that some adhere to and others criticize. And as such, the mind goes on endlessly. From the primitive barter to the abstraction of money. Then the capitalist set up the Marxism ideology for the working labor. This cats and dogs game came into light thanks to the electrical power of our neurobiological connections. In other words, it’s the brutal activity of the solemn, powerful thought.
It came first the Capital with a K. The agriculture revolution, which is merely the sedentarism involution, drove humanity into imaginary kingdoms and the illusion of private property, goods, and services. A landlord forced its labor to extract the yield from the soil and traded the surplus for gold or silver. No one but himself will see the materialistic fortune. The accumulation race begins exactly there. The mechanism requires that if a neighbor acquires wealth, the immediate response is the compulsion to produce more and dominate. This neurochemical panic birthed kingdoms. It birthed empires. It engineered the total control of a terrestrial sphere governed by invented rules.
Moving forward in history, thinkers in the industrialized world like the misunderstood Adam Smith found this Kapitalist exercise quite interesting. Smith hypothesized that a free market, guided by an invisible hand of offer and demand, could allow nations to survive without exerting domination. Although the savage, irrational mind anchored in natural selection refuses to conceive abundance as an equal right for everyone. Apes reveal our natural essence. There’s going to be one in the herd that desires to monopolize everything: the mates, food, territory, and so on. Thus, driven by this biological instinct, the English, Spanish, French, Germans, Belgians, Dutch, Arabs, Chinese, Mongols, Romans, Persians, and African and precolonial empires crossed continents, deserts, and oceans to force the planet under their destructive desire. They stripped it to construct a global market of goods, services, and slaves.
This misinterpretation and failure of Smith and Kapitalist scholars gave birth to their opposites. Karl Marx with a real K, and his pal Friedrich Engels noticed how European empires were forcing the labor populations to produce without any conscious awareness of well-being and good working conditions: holidays, pensions, sick leave, etc. Marx and Engels said that Kapital without workers is just another illusion as god. Corporations responded by institutionalizing the eternal pursuit of cheap labor. This extraction operated across Europe and the colonized territories simultaneously. By the nineteenth century, globalization functioned strictly as the delivery system for the Kapitalist desire.
Very few mind eaters have questioned the nature of our economic models and ideologies. The root of everything lies in the structure of thought itself. The thinking monkey that acknowledges the power of its nervous system translated in desire. This unfolds as a compulsion to invent systems that offer the illusion of security and comfort. That urge spans ten thousand years of human history. Every individual currently carries the genetic and psychological data of that entire violent timeline. The root of everything we consume is a neurological panic.
The modern human mind lives in a profound ocean of oblivion. It accelerates into the core of its desires until the natural environment is destroyed and humanity is obliterated. A fractional elite seizes total control while an unconscious mob fails to halt the Kapitalist disorder. Human thought is inherently chaotic. The ideological seed was planted by monarchs, academics, and prophets. The architecture of comparison installed it. The machine runs exactly as designed.
