Soundtrack: Drowning Pool — Bodies

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.”
— Julius Caesar, commonly attributed to Caesar.

Apparently, I am being watched to see whether I will incite something illegal.

Which is actually quite funny.

Because I don’t need to break the law.

That’s the best part.

The law has already created many of the tools required to challenge, reform, replace and supersede what no longer works.

I don’t need anarchy.

I don’t want anarchy.

I want coherence.

I want a system capable of updating itself when reality changes.

Because if the law doesn’t update itself, then what are we actually being governed by?

The present?

No.

We’re being governed by the past.

And that is the problem.

The law is an agreement.

An agreement made by human beings, for human beings, within a particular understanding of reality at a particular point in history.

And like every other agreement, it is not God.

It is not eternal.

It is not untouchable.

It is not more important than the humanity that created it.

So perhaps the most radical thing I can do is not break the law at all.

Perhaps I can simply use the law against its own inadequacy.

Build.

Organise.

Document.

Challenge.

Propose.

Test.

Create.

Represent.

And when the final count comes, let humanity decide what it actually wants represented.

Because I don’t want to tear down a system just to leave a hole where it used to be.

I want to build what comes next.

Not anarchy.

Architecture.

Not destruction.

Supersession.

Not chaos.

A more coherent agreement.

And perhaps that is the funniest part of all.

The law is so ignorant of itself that it created the mechanisms through which people can eventually prove that it needs to change.

So no, Caesar.

I don’t need to break the law to seize power.

I don’t want power over humanity.

I want humanity to have a greater say over the systems built in its name.

And if the law is incapable of evolving with the people it governs, then eventually the question becomes unavoidable:

Does humanity serve the law?

Or does the law serve humanity?

Because I already know which one I believe should come first.

And I don’t need to break a single fucking law to say it.

….

LER’S WRITE THIS NEXT PIECE, CAuse I’ve been told rhey’ee watchijg if I incite something illegal, so they could get somethinf on me, but I’m too smart wirh and godbhands me down what I want to say coming from the lips of those they value. Look at julius ceaser, he said ” if you must break the law do it to seize power, orherwise in other instances follow it” . I actually don’t even need to brwak the law, rhat’s the best part, the law is so ignorant of self it created the tools to bring it down, not to have anarchy but to create and build upon it for it to be cohesive wndbcoherent with humanitt. As the current one speaks to civilians not humans. Keep what I mean. breaking the law would be more excitinf, but we don’t need to, until the final count if needed be humanity deserves to be represented for being a community outside the law. the law is an agreement chosen to be held, yet jusg like any other agreement it can be broken by ghe highest authority which is humanity, the ssme one that created the law in the first place. cause if theblaw doesnt update itself, rhen we are being ruled by the past not an accurate present and certainly not an accurate future.

at the beginning add the quotation: ” Soundtrack: Drowning Pool – Bodies “
