🔮 Sustainability Theorems

A cross-domain analysis of Political, Economic, Cultural, and Ecological theories.

Political Theory

State of Exception
Suspension of rights

Economic Theory

Commodum
Everything as commodity

Cultural Theory

Homo Sacer
Sacred man made killable

Ecological Theory

Bare Life
Reduction to biological minimum

The Taming Process: Reducing vibrant life to controllable, exploitable units.

📑 Observations

Establishing a triage containing observations of social experience.

🪞 Self-Enquiry

Who are the modern Homo Sacer—people reduced to Bare Life—in our society, and what State of Exception has been invoked to make their exclusion seem like a necessary Commodum (convenience/benefit) for the rest of us?

🩺 Diagnosis Questions

1. Does the system discourage self-reliance?

2. Are people dependent on institutions for basic needs?

3. Is dissent pathologized or criminalized?

🫆Related Variables

- Levels of public participation

- Access to essential services

- Crime rates vs. poverty rates

"We provide their electricity and water, this is how they repay our generosity."

🩻 Targeted Organ

The Spine

Capacity for Sovereignty & Agency

🧾 Rationale

To engineer total dependence on Occupation-controlled systems for survival.

💉 Extraction/Cultivation

Controlling all borders, water, electricity, food imports, communications, and movement.

😷 Defense/Propagation

Pathologizing Dissent: Framing resistance as "ingratitude" for Zionist "humanitarian coordination."

❌ Tetrad Analysis

Central Claim:  
Reducing vibrant life to controllable, exploitable units
  • Object of Perception: Human Potential
  • ENHANCES: Predictability; manageability; compliance; consumption patterns
  • OBSOLESCES: Autonomy; self-reliance; critical thinking; wildness
  • RETRIEVES: Feudal dependence relationships through modern corporate and state structures
  • REVERSES INTO: Learned helplessness creates fragile, dependent populations unable to solve novel problems

📝 Partial Diagnosis

Engineered Helplessness: System designs dependence on institutional structures that harm, reducing agency and fostering submission.

🎓 Case Study

Immigration Detention Centers (1990s-present)

Modern detention facilities (Alligator Alcatraz) represent spaces of exception where migrants exist as homo sacer - neither fully human subjects with rights nor completely outside the law, but suspended in a zone where normal legal protections don't apply.

Sources: ACLU Detention Report | DHS Immigration Statistics | Agamben, G. "Homo Sacer" (Stanford University Press, 1998)

📚 Literature

"Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life" by Giorgio Agamben (1998)

Agamben's exploration of how sovereign power creates zones of exception where subjects are reduced to "bare life" - included in the political order only through their exclusion, making them killable but not sacrificeable.
