NEFX - Zophys.txt ? Yet such successes themselves may also be pyrrhic and in vain. ? Indeed these efforts may succeed in dismantling the economy of a competing power perhaps also seeking the same ends and lead in turn to social breakdown that precipitate uprisings therein that, while perhaps legitimate in cause and method, are not so favored except as a means to an ultimate end that too shackles its participants. ? That is, many of the Blightgeist's imperial tentacles may suffer major widespread defeats and thus seek to retrieve by murderous expenditure and prolonged systemic conflict (be it often proxy) their prior power, thus marking these measures as surefire signs of collapse. ? All this has historical precedent for occurring in a time and place (possibly encompassing the world-as-known especially as circumstances have lead to its increasingly sensitive interconnection) of increasing instability, whether as a symptom of the universe and its tides, or of impositions by the Blightgeist. ? The effect of this among tentacles of the Blightgeist is (arguably intentionally) to create a parasitically precarious situation of resources on an increasingly wider scale based on unfettered speculation which only they can provisionally (that is to say in the short-term, barring their ultimately pyrrhic ultimate vision) afford the consequences of. ? from masses to select hoarders and power-seizers, and an overall reverser of the collective will and efforts of beings at large if not being-as-such. ? e. ? systemic re-appropriation and restructuring of means and conditions, when it is in fact a utilization of that technique in the opposite direction, i. ? e. ? At the same time, this overarching counterattack may perpend to be against a particular measure just in concept, i. ? Ironically, such counterattack against these right and necessary measures may begin largely (if not firstly) from the systems paying most lip service (at least within the present window of popular conception) to its needs at least in its official name, for this is what is more acceptable within the current prevailing window of popular perception to be shifted; and then this gives way to increasingly extreme and overt inroads against the cause and against being-as-such in general. ? provision of benefits) and indirect (such as the guaranteeing of better material compensation and support for the extant movements on the ground to such ends), it is still within the flawed framework of the extant system of the Blightgeist in at least one of its many inter-divided territorialist outposts; thus, what is intrinsically right becomes provisionally “wrong” in the established constricting framework which those measures are a necessary counterpoise against — both for meantime conditions and for the system’s eventual overcoming. ? e. ? For though the efforts in the rise of Lightform may indeed be right, noble, and beneficial in the immediate among at least certain swaths of the population as may be most needful of it, such as through betrothed conditions both direct (i. ? Therefore, as growth slows and conditions (be they often of relative luxury and unnecessary) decrease, many beings if not beings-at-large (at least within a territorialist faction as may be under the spell of a mass conditioning apparatus for their subjection to the Blightgeist) become poised against Lightform even as concept, and some of them are unfortunately never turned back. ? Part of the paradox of this chain of reactions is that even that of the Blightgeist may be at least partially in reaction to lessening of conditions such as economy that can then be more easily blamed on the emancipatory efforts of Lightform, when it is actually due to a combination of extant conditions of the Blightgeist (especially as they push back against emancipatory measures, Lightform, and the overall cause of being-as-such) and the cost of both the big step forward entailed in the process of Lightforms’ attainment and the meantime cost of the conflict between the two forces. ? That is to say, these efforts may have been extant, themselves compelled by necessity and reaction against likewise extant systemic abuses such as dictatorship and the extinguishing (in use, abuse, and discardment) of swaths of lives, but in a less potent and widespread a form; but here and again we find phases in the non-linear progression to the attainment of Lightform in the form of forces of the Blightgeist recognizing these efforts and their effects and going on the offensive against them. ? It is here that all bets are off — when beings at large are paradoxically offered the comfort of a clear purpose in the pursuit of the highly uncomfortable (to put it understatedly) battle for the fate of the world-as-known even insofar as it guarantees their breath in the figurative (if not at some point literal) tomorrow. ? Specifically, those which entail the total wholesale debasing and abusing of the world-as-known both in its inhabitants and its structural integrity (at least as may relate to the survival, let alone thrival, of set inhabitants). ? Often this can arise out of forced global necessity from the abuses of extant systems. ? There can be points in the struggle for the triumph of Lightform and being-as-such when it can be questioned when the history of a “future" has begun, whether in terms of technological or ideological evolution.
