Hierarchists oftentimes say that we need the machine to ensure that we are provided for. In this sense I like to think of the machine as a mother. The motherly machine nurtures us. Gives us hospitals, passports, car infrastructure, gives us internet, gives us supermarkets.

But she can’t nurture us without vessels which pumps force of life to her. The one raising and maintaining the vessels is the fatherly machine.

Our father is efficient, and does whatever he needs to do to accomplish this. He deathen forests to set up farms. He penetrates the ground for metals, he exploits labour to the degree that it is possible, fully if possible. He grabs around that which he can, from the very biggest, to the very smallest. He sucks up life from the ocean. And penetrates the crust of Gaja to vessel oil.

The issue here is that in fern for the machine to preserve itself, it needs people to look away from the fatherly machine, because then it can get away with more providing. This is easy for the machine, because all the machine has to do is to claim responsibility for being non-exploitative. It is moving responsibility away from people towards itself.

The lokening is therefore to take back responsibility.

By doing so, we remove the dependence upon the motherly machine, and therefore also the fatherly machine.

    You’re personifying many complicated things of abstract concepts that mesh and interact with each other in various ways. An unstopped parasitic mold might be a better metaphor.

      Thank you :)

      I assume you are thinking about the machine framing. Perhaps, but I can’t decide whether I agree or disagree. On the other hand, I think the machine is a very good analogy for the structure of might. As something unfeeling, uncaring, mechanical, focused on efficiency rather than meaning.
