Collective Devaluation Paradox

A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.

A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?

B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.

A: wa?

B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.

A: losses?

B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.

A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.

B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.

field moment

When two friends or lovers who have not seen each other for a while enthusiastically move to greet one another, reminiscent of the many parodies and movies where this usually happens in a field of flowers.

Person 1: "When she got off the bus and they noticed each other, they both ran to hug and make out"

Person 2: "What a total field moment!"

procude

In working terms, this word means to produce without a capitalists connotation that one has been alienated from, or the whether there is exists an exploitation of surplus labor.

from "cyberphunkism," the term also mentions the ideal of creating "alien-cybernetic-genetic" humanoids.

I once went to a Harvard lecture on Genetic engineering and someone asked if there were people making genetically modified humans in caves someplace; the professor laughed, hesitated, then said without a doubt there are some people "procuding" (procude) substances.

Polymorphousmythology

Polymorphousmythology is a storytelling framework that critiques systemic dynamics, cultural taboos, and censorship by embedding these critiques into symbolic narratives. Using mythology to bypass suppression, it encodes controversial ideas into layered stories accessible to broad audiences. Through myths and symbols, it examines collective thought systems while offering paths for renewal.

Symbols like the worm, snake, and dragon are central to this framework, evolving through internal logic (narrative consistency) and external logic (cultural and historical relevance). The worm represents unconscious inertia, the snake reflects cyclical thought patterns and collective trauma (#hivemindidioms), and the dragon symbolizes entrenched systemic power—both obstacle and gateway to transformation. Together, these symbols map the mechanisms of #EgregoreWars, illustrating cycles of stasis and renewal.

Inspired by Jung’s exploration of myths and alchemical symbols, Polymorphousmythology builds on his equation of the worm, snake, and dragon in Mysterium Coniunctionis, where each represents stages of transformation. Through the principles of contentinternet, this framework adapts to modern media, critiquing systems like manipulation and conformity while maintaining accessibility. By weaving myths into symbolic narratives, Polymorphousmythology critiques unseen systems and offers tools to navigate #EgregoreWars.

dude 1: dude its so crazy.
dude 2: what bra?
