Social Deconstruction - Deborah Butler

Social deconstruction & deconditioning.

Most people have no interest in learning about themselves or the world. Social deconstruction is unpopular. This kind of conduct doesn’t help them get closer to achieving the goals that society views as desirable. These people are not always happy, but happiness is frequently traded in favour of success, notoriety, influence, and convention.

Success and achievement require a belief that an individual can achieve his or her desires. I would suggest that a belief in the ability to achieve desires is also required to achieve success because if you do not believe you can do something, you will surely not even try.

A successful life, socially speaking, is one where all the social markers are in place: a respectable job, a good education, a pretty wife, kids and dogs. And you must do anything outside of that quietly.

Yet, many people who have all these things are unhappy. Why?

Is it because they did not get the things they really wanted? Or is it because they are living an illusion of what they think they should want?

It is in this quiet that I address you now.

The Unexamined Life

Others are less content to live an unexamined life, and they start to wonder what it all means, what the point of life is, why people suffer, and even why there is something rather than nothing. Deconstructionizm is a discipline devoted to understanding the truth of our existence and how we can most effectively navigate life to return to what is genuine. Here, we deconstruct the beliefs and conditioning we have absorbed from people around us. This art frequently goes against tradition and even the laws of nature. Being a contributing member of society is not something we are especially interested in doing.

Adaptation & Disintegration

Adapting to a damaged society and becoming well-adjusted is not a virtue. The main difficulty in deconstructing conditioning is that often, we have no idea where to start. We have seen conditioning everywhere: in the media, in politics, and in our own lives. We see it used by others to get what they want, but never consider how they use it on us.

When we interact with people, we accept their ways of looking at the world instead of questioning them. When people are sceptical of things we say, we are quickly put in our place. Everyone assumes that the ways in which they see things are the best ways of seeing them.

Conditioning & Social Deconstruction

We believe that the world can only exist in a black and white way due to our conditioning. Everything is either true or it is not true. Truths are absolute, and as such, they do not change with time unless proven to be false somewhere along their history.

Yet, the only truth available is how you feel right now. Either you are in pleasure or pain. In other words, truth is exclusive to whatever is happening right now. Since the truth of what is happening right now is temporary and since we do not know what will come, we believe in things that are not true from social conditioning. The idea of absolute truths becomes an addiction & needs fixing before our life has any meaning.

Think Again

Deconstructionizm provides us with the means of looking at everything from every angle until it makes sense. We deconstruct our conditioning by taking a close look at how it is working on us. When we come to understand that life has no meaning at all, we are free.
