Description

Harmony is the social superstition that suppresses clashing values and exalts a dull uniformity. A frictionless space is synonymous with a lack of opinion and nothing more than a fertile ground for profound indifference. While proclaiming diversity, it actually enforces convergence to the least common denominator, a blatant rallying cry for collective calisthenics. The moment everything aligns beautifully, people also relish the loss of their own voices.

Definitions

  • A social anesthetic that gently seals up conflicting opinions and praises silent consensus.
  • A cunning artifice that claims to bridge chasms while actually embedding deeper resignation.
  • A frictionless comfort zone, in reality a silence void of any ambition.

  • An adjustment device that sucks in different voices and transforms them into one motionless hush.

  • An adjustment bias that won’t stop the applause until everyone claps, erasing individual will.
