Notes from Underground discussion

The need for “harmony” is like plugging the mouth of a pipe to prevent the sewage inside from spilling out. Beneath it lies a subtle demand: “Mute your contradictions, blunt your edges, be like the external, become harmless,” which is perfect to create easily manageable masses. For a person who is pursuing “balance” does not live in peace, but in anesthesia. They have weaknesses for “solution” and for “resolution.” After every kind of “opposition,” “extremity,” “negativity,” or “contradiction” is eliminated like sins, what valuable thing could remain? Each heart beats at different milliseconds, in its own milliseconds. Why would someone see this as a “disorder” and attempt to “correct” it? Social discourse insists on “living in accordance with nature,” while the same society threatens the environment and ravages nature in practice. Do they really want to be like nature? Meaning primitive, ignorant, unreflective, unquestioning, unjudging, and unconscious? For example, a person losing their mind under prolonged isolation is biologically normal. After that, do they still want to be “natural”? To adapt means to die—not vice versa.
