Madness Shapes and Drives Civilization

Civilization can exist because of madness, the history of human civilization runs because of it. The madness of God's creation called humans has created civilization from the past until now and is guaranteed to continue to develop until the end of the world. Human madness began with the madness of daring to oppose the Creator's command which then made them expelled from the comfort of heaven, wandering on earth until, madly committing the first crime of murder, then continuing to the development of civilization spiced with human madness for ambition, domination, slavery, colonization, and greed, innovation, creativity that produces life or sacrifices life that occurs primitively in the ancient era, until the era of the development of sophisticated technology today.

The emergence of machines that overthrew the position of humans as the most skilled and intelligent in the industrial revolution era which then made humans lose their dignity as the most skilled because they were considered inferior to their own creations, their creations, humans who were higher in education, social status, and way of thinking than other humans who were considered lower. Other humans replaced the role of other humans with their creations: machines, on the grounds that the machines they created were better than other humans who were below them in status and strata. The madness of the human mind that does not respect other humans is a hereditary legacy, discrimination, domination drives civilization even though it is not a good form but it happened in the past and for a very long time. It still exists now and is real.

Slavery is already an act of madness, of course, other humans make humans who look different as workers to produce wealth for other humans who are higher in rank. The division and separation of classes, the division and separation of strata, are the most influential forms of social discovery in human civilization and are also forms of human madness that they say all are the same and equal in the eyes of the Creator, but cannot be in the eyes of fellow humans.

The madness of the history of civilization has begun from the idea that there is another group of humans who are better than other types of humans. Differences and diversity when viewed from another angle show how crazy some humans are in thinking and acting. This then manifested in slavery and colonization, which can be read and already exist in history books studied in schools during twelve years of education, which turned out to be partly a form of propaganda from some groups of political and historical scholars who wanted to romanticize history which then manifested in the writings of printed school books that were read, by only mentioning parts that were felt to be able to foster a spirit of nationalism. This also includes a form of madness of humans who in terms of educational dimensions are better at creating and carving the mindset of other humans so that they think according to the direction of the theme that has been determined by their group.

The madness of humans who consider other humans better or worse than them from the macro nature such as slavery and mass colonization then manifests into another form, namely mass murder (genocide). Based on feeling that certain types and groups of humans are better, then other types of humans who are considered unequal, not equal to themselves are slaughtered, destroyed. All efforts are made so that the unequal types can disappear without a trace but the universe prevents it, indeed many disappear, but not all. There are still those who survive, develop and grow. The dead disappear, the living reproduce again. Another form of human madness is, all means are used to achieve goals, such as the ruling kings, the tyrants of ancient times and the era of war kingdoms achieving the goal of wanting to become gods in the world, carrying out domination in the form of genocide on millions of other humans to dominating themselves so as not to be caught or killed so as not to be dominated by others.

Madness and domination are closely related, it turns out. Many types of people who want to dominate everything, we can find them if we stand in front of a mirror. Look in front of the mirror, there is that figure, a crazy figure who wants to take and own everything beyond the reach of his two hands and two feet. Who wants to know more than his thinking capacity can bear. Who wants to feel more than his feelings can feel. That is a form of madness. Madness and domination want all of that then known as ambition, which then manifests two positions, negative and positive. With the foundation of madness, ambition is composed, positive and negative dominance into a building of body and mind that moves.

This crazy body and mind then shaped civilization and moved it. The crazy mass slaughter carried out by tyrant kings, occurred because of the energy of madness in their crazy bodies and minds, which had acted up throughout the history of civilization. War and massacre are indeed wrong, they are things that must be stopped. But we cannot close our eyes to the fact that the crazy acts of murder, massacre in war shaped our civilization today. Denying the history that war and massacre are among those that shaped the attitude of awareness to uphold peace and love more so that we can live fairly safely and peacefully in this world is a form of madness. Why? Because as the advice in the self-growth industry books that profit from writing repetitive topics about self-development to nudge the fragile mentality of the modern generation today "accepting what has happened in order to be able to move forward" even though it is a hard thing but it is a good thing.

Madness shapes and builds the human body and mind to run the wheels of civilization. Madness produces innovations that shape and drive civilization positively and negatively. The negative forms as discussed above, slavery, colonization, and genocide although crazy, sadistic, and uncivilized, cannot be denied are things that shape our civilization today. We stand and live our daily lives on land where humans enslave and colonize each other, war and slaughter each other.

From this crazy human body and mind, various forms of good works are born. Not all craziness produces bad things. Positive craziness produces crazy wild ideas that are then useful in developing technology for innovation that facilitates human civilization. The crazy idea of ​​how a spinning wheel can help reduce human energy to move and move heavy objects and move from one location to another which then became the forerunner of vehicles such as cars and motorbikes, reducing human energy to not spend too much energy to walk.

The Industrial Revolution, although it marginalized humans by machines, also made human work faster, more effective and efficient. The crazy idea of ​​an airplane to make humans feel like they are transporting through the sky which for hundreds of years could only be seen, then could become an alternative route for air transportation. The discovery of a sophisticated machine called a computer which was carried out in stages starting from the Gutenberg printing press which was a machine for panning grapes to being developed and continuously updated for years by many scientists to become a computer the size of a room with a small memory capacity, until it could develop crazily, changing in size to a personal computer that could be enjoyed by every home in the form of the first PC in history, the Altair 8800 which produced many young computer scientists who with their crazy ideas built software businesses like Linux and Bill Gates with Microsoft, also Steve Jobs with Apple. Step back for a moment with the discovery of the telephone as a form of the madness of the human body and mind in realizing their crazy ambition to be able to directly connect communication between humans who are in distant places without having to send letters which then developed into a mobile phone from a long antenna with many buttons to a small cellphone with a touch screen feature without any buttons at all.

Humans use madness as energy in innovating, continuing to the discovery of the internet network that forms and changes all the old but gold innovations of the old technology era to become more advanced and modern, which can make this vast and big world feel small and in the palm of your hand. What happens abroad can be known by people from other countries without having to visit the country directly. The innovation of internet technology which then became a major dominance of the human group who are capable and smart to regulate the world, regulate humans, and create a new system of rational and moral colonization also innovated along with the development of human madness in forming and building civilization.

Restlessness, discomfort, wild and crazy thoughts produce things that make life develop and move forward, although full of instability but the effort to find stability is a form of madness of the human body and mind that is crazy and wild. Human madness with technological innovation and systems for the ambition of domination to regulate nature and fellow humans has not changed from time to time.

The body and mind formed from madness only change the platform of domination and ambition to colonize and enslave from what used to be physical and open, now it becomes subliminal latent and still attacks the physical, but not only colonizing and enslaving the physical. Now it also attacks the mental and moral of other humans too.

Our human civilization is formed and built on the foundation of madness, the walls of madness, and built by human builders and architects with continuous madness, driven by the madness of humans from generation to generation continuously from the upstream to the downstream of the madness of civilization. The madness of Adam and Eve is passed down from generation to generation to us, their descendants.
