 And all that, but with the lineage of what procreated antecedently.
 
+#### Gamifying?
+
+Indeed, we're talking about gamification in the sense that there is a new points system and a process of evaluation whereby people are busying themselves with playing games and, particularly in a professional or academic environment, this replaces the otherwise intended purpose of the institution in question. If we are to really target these things and make them make sense according to their desired purpose, we need to be clear about what we're attempting to achieve in these institutions, and if we're actually trying to transform them for another purpose, then we should rename them to exhibit and express that other new purpose, which becomes its first order purpose.
+
+One of the major consequences of gamifying an activity or environment through a value system with implications about ethics, morality, guilt and purpose is that having one continuously function such as to consider the impact on points becomes one's programming and is, in effect, a form of brainwashing on the basis of its function as operant conditioning, leading to ideological conformation.

 #### Anteceding Procreation
-A fragile chain of nearly-rejected deceivers who faked and fooled more noble beings into allowing the mistaken experiments of ancient history to remain in existence. They were all mistakes whose greatest achievement is having fooled someone log enough to tame and delay their disgust which likely still was expressed at a later time.
 
-This can be wondered about every procreative event, as there is no further gate to pass before being incorporated into the eternal specification of the evolved species as the current ongoing propagation of the life form.
+When a human considers their mortality, recognize that they are, in fact, a different human being from all others, and that the differentiatedness of individuality means they are vulnerable to coming to grips with the potential that they might not be able to, not only, live forever but be accepted into the gene pool as a part of the immortality of future human existence through bearing some form of lineage, but even simply convince themselves that their developed and instantiated form was a worthwhile occurrence and not simply a blip.
+
+This stark, tragic and brutal cosmology proposition awaits every human with a conscious, sentient mind and is already something extremely difficult to tangle with. For some, it might be considered a rite of passage to maturity and self-worth to deal with such a thing, while for others it's an unfair aspect of the "flungness" (thrownness) of Being and puts it upon ourselves to reformulate the human experience and the meaning of human life in order to help the species arrive at the conditions where such a thing need no longer be experienced. But, nevertheless, it is the reality that we do face and that all humans have faced before us.
+
+The redeeming prospect, however, is that we can in fact rise up and develop ourselves such as to find a path of solace, comfort and empowerment, and that this may come in many forms, not just those relating to procreation and having our genes propagate into the future.
+
+To classify ourselves into categories which may or may not be considered legitimate and viable on the basis of attributes for which we haven't had control over, however, is a special kind of evil that even those who champion such methods are intuitively aware of.
+
+How are other humans to be looked upon, in terms of their existential viability, after adopting a view which categorizes humans as superior and inferior as per their race, be it physiologically, intellectually, culturally, morally, or otherwise? A fragile chain of nearly-rejected deceivers who faked and fooled more noble beings into allowing the mistaken experiments of ancient history to remain in existence. If, indeed, class differences exist as the collectivist describes, then even in every pair-bond exists some quantity of that manipulative dynamic and, as such, one of the participants will have fooled the other. They were all mistakes whose greatest achievement is having fooled someone long enough to tame and delay their disgust which should still come to be expressed at a later time.

+Some additions are made by force and others by mistake or through a failure by the oppressed party to have applied due diligence; one wonders if ever there have been legitimate, deserved, honourable additions at all, as surely it was mostly the case that one party was undeserving of gaining entry into the pantheon of cosmological extension. It may very well be the case that the fact of human survival is nothing but a vulgar heuristic of how a particularly repulsive organism manages to overstay its welcome.

-- destined to be eliminated before others (melting pot?)
-- too arbitrary or difficult to define
-- dehumanizing (duh)

For the purveyors of the race cult, who somehow see them as having attained the correct configuration, or are choosing to position themselves, as Sartre had described, such as to hope for mercy in their judgment, we can recognize the bleak set of issues they themselves should find themselves to be faced with by implication of their doctrine: that they should somehow avoid complete negation by carefully and selectively refuting aspects of the doctrine while imposing it on the world, as though their moment and role are now the most significant in history such as to embody a moment of transcendence which begins through them. Of course, even this needn't be the case, because it's far simpler to indicate that judgment of humanity such as to make individuals, which they ultimately are, inadmissible is tantamount to participation in a death cult.

 ## Queer
+!TODO: This whole section should be parsed for point-form summary and rewritten
 This one maintains itself even more strongly on the very same points as race, except it reaches new levels of magnitude in the manner that it brings its assertions and scope of attack to a higher level of abstraction.
 
+While the Race cult is concerned with rejecting social systems that have not yet produced equity when analyzing social strata through the lenses of race, ethnicity and skin colour, the Queer cult has much less flexibility with regards to allowing for a standard of specification about any aspect of reality whatsoever. The driving sentiment behind Queer Theory is a desire to destroy the ability for the human mind to have any expectation about what limits can exist within human experience and judgment, particularly with respect to the body which, as we are humans in an embodied experience, ends up comprising the entirety of the experience as can be reasonable discussed.
+
 ## Reality ( as being challenged )
-While some (and most) may criticize the addition of race on the basis that the reality needn't include it as per a standard of science, but the Queer challenge the very notion that we may discern or even interpret an approximation of reality at all. It is liable to put in its crosshairs any feature or fraction of reality which it finds in its vicinity (whether as conflict or even on the basis that it is already in conflict with anything specified). The very act of enumerating and identifying something outside of a proposed queer control structure is offensive.
 
-Specifically, the question of one's material construct bearing some kind of ordered legitimacy is brought into the fold, but in somewhat of a different respect:
-- question the reality of one's conception of structure
-  - any description of reality is a false reality, but queer is the effort to regain a real perspective
-- supremacy of the broadly inferior - by aesthetic
-  - that which has been seen to be superior is actually inferior
+While most may criticize the addition of race on the basis that reality needn't include it as per a standard of science, the Queer challenge the very notion that we may discern or even interpret an approximation of reality at all, and it takes it much further than, for example, the distinction of the phenomenological and noumenal as put forward by Kant, who at least isn't necessarily stating that an objective reality cannot exist. With the Queer, it isn't even a question of whether objective reality exists, but that a position must be assumed wherein the subject is the reality for the purpose of transformation, regardless of any underlying belief about what could possibly manifest as a result. It is liable to put in its crosshairs any feature or fraction of reality which it finds in its vicinity, whether as conflict or even on the basis that it is already in conflict with anything specified. The very act of enumerating and identifying something outside of a proposed Queer control structure is offensive and contrary to Queer praxis.

In a sense, it desires to impose supremacy of the broadly inferior, particularly by aesthetic, and claims through epistemological means not unlike that of the master-slave dialectic that that which has been seen to be superior is actually inferior.
 
-It then approaches the matter even more severely because, unlike race where the understanding that there can be some essence known today which can be brought into harmony (by virtue of the fact that historical aspects remain in motion today and are imagined at the point of salvation), the very basis for queer is to negate for the purpose of attaining the conditions of imagining the unimaginable.

-While race questions what some assumptions were made about reality and posits some enforcement in how we see reality (usually through controlled language), and to varying degrees of intentionality, queer is itself mediated through the most fundamental aspects of what a human life considers as being real.

-Queer very much facilitates the premature assumptions that stable aspects of reality, as understood from the perspective of human life, are imagined and able to be eliminated with little to no questioning - almost as though, in spite of occupying a culturally recognized garment of open curiosity, one has far less curiosity about the phenomenon than one has an aversion to finding themselves at odds with a structurally-mediated social priority. The consequences of this being vast, but which might divide into at least:
-- reduced confidence in one's sense-making
-- downgraded status for established critical reasoning faculties
-- reification of a domain of grace; holy status (sanctity essential to divine promise -> liberation identity is culturally genocided in any configuration, which includes the questioning of the liberation identity's capacity to actualize)
-  - self-evident truth based on oppressed status

 # Transhumanism
-Indeed, this is the most obvious tie-in and the logical consequence both in terms of technical proficiency in mastering material figurations intended to unlock the true divine expression of being, which becomes unburdened by the oppressive subjectivities which arise through observation of the precious material configuration; a structure of matter whose viewing is intrinsically determined through sequences of thought tainted by the hegemonic influence of asymmetrically powerful sociopolitical interests. Under such conditions, there are only two interpretations possible:
-- you believe one representation is the correct one
-  - the right side (as per historicism?) else false consciousness
-- you make the choice which imposes the force of change
-  - change reality to make it admissible and adequate.
-  - something which becomes a more correct instance of Being
-  - even the perfected instance of Being

+Indeed, this is the most obvious tie-in and the logical consequence both in terms of technical proficiency in mastering the functions and figurations of our material. Transhumanism intends to unlock the true divine expression of being, which becomes unburdened by the oppressive subjectivities which arise through observation of the precious material configuration; a structure of matter whose viewing is intrinsically determined through sequences of thought tainted by the hegemonic influence of asymmetrically powerful sociopolitical interests. Under such conditions, there are only two interpretations possible in interpreting Queer as a productive force in pursuit of a transhumanist solution:
+1. You believe one representation is the correct one. In positioning and performing for the right side which is heading down the path of salvation, as opposed to any other path which is at best driven else false consciousness, you have made a safe bet which is reinforced by broadly available popular rhetoric and institutional support. This is the more passive of the two, and might describe a mindset taking a glimpse at the implications of everything within the range of curiosity for gender ambiguity to permanent body modification.
+
+2. You make the choice which imposes the force of change. Change reality to make it admissible and adequate.

 Traditionally, the view of eugenics and transhumanism has been one of improvement and advancement of the human form, but this, at least in popular view, takes into account that we value the human experience as we understand it and wish to make it better, if even only by prolonging it.
 
-Queer views the interpretation of human body and embodiment as inherently restrictive and, in fact, the source of the restriction itself. Therefore, the technological advancement is to be employed such as to refashion the flesh such that its presentation destroys the concept and understanding of what the human form is, how it appears, and what it means.

 ## Upheaval
-Though it may seem contradictory to the goal and process of transhumanism, that is of no concern to the queer theorist who believes that the tension of such conflicting views will create the upheaval and socio-political drive to change the pursuit of everything towards the needs of liberation (queer liberation and, thus, the needs of the queer theorist).

-For queer, however, nothing will ever be good enough as our reality is quite generally a reminder of the inadequacy of our forms and our perceptions of those forms. The control over the forms would have to outpace our control over the representation of the forms, even at the level of interpretation, and this likely cannot be satisfied.

-Well, it almost can't be satisfied, except in theory, which is why we should now remind ourselves that this domain of thought is all about the transformation of world through praxis -> theory informed practice, or a continuously narrowed conception of theory and practice which are destined to merge as one; a process of refining conditions until no contradictions arise as such a contradiction is simultaneously an insistence that theory and practice are not yet sufficiently developed and hence are not truly actualized to be one and the same.

 ## Dissatisfying Distinction
-Because there is always dissatisfaction with the body, ideals for development are belittling and can make any human as though they are an unnecessary specimen, if at least insofar as being a path for the evolution of the species; that is to say, a direction which brings improvement.
 
-But please note that this improvement is ultimately measured as a satisfaction with the body as it interfaces with spacetime, reality, or however else you wish to construe it. If satisfaction has arisen in a reality which includes a social element, then it is the distinction of your having a body and there being a difference between you and someone not yourself. And ultimately, that dissatisfaction may be predicated not on a fundamentally morphological distinction, but could even be as simple as the dying and the living, or that there is any perceptual separation at all through the one against the many.

 Children can easily be made to feel inadequate for simply not being fully developed, but adult humans too can feel inadequate for the reason of having already attained their full adult development and, as such, knowing that they will have to work hard as they cannot benefit from whatever advancement would otherwise be stated to come to fruition seemingly for free through father time.
 
 ## Digression
-Politicians have really destroyed themselves through this issue as one cannot know for sure whether someone is a true believer or has simply played fast and loose with matters that change the entire prospect of reality simply to maintain popular salience as per the estimates of algorithms and machine learning enhanced analyses. It's easy to say which is worse, but both are likely irredeemable.
 
-So, again, while race makes us question our legitimacy as per some genetic encoding because of a race category, queer maintains that you will question your very capability to discern reality coupled with a problematized judgment of one's genetic structure. An example of the latter being judging oneself as presenting a traditionally less desirable set of traits and this being placed as a point of virtue on the order of whether it abandons that tradition. Any who don't fit the traditional description are both grappling with ways of being less "pretty", and otherwise also dealing with the disdain and disgust reserved for them (according to theory they choose to identify with).

 ## Summarizing
+
 That is all strong rationale for considering the potent, pervasive, totalizing and destructive nature consequent to the demands of queer theory, and how its adoption by a central authority necessarily facilitates transition to a totalitarian society on the basis of a metaphysic with an imminentized expectation of liberated collectivism.
 
 For our society, this is a key component in the development of transhumanism.

 A very dear one to me, for what it's worth, as this was the first time we traversed past the line from demanding uniformity of verified expressions and entered into uniformity of physical access to the body. This was the first time where embodiment of the state rhetoric became a rule and where everyone could be categorized as an immediate threat. It's where one couldn't fully understand whether their participation was itself an expression of state rhetoric.
 
 For the first time, the state could dictate the movement in everyone's house, the manner in which relations of family members are to be managed and expressed, and a means by which one family member could use state rhetoric, state narrative, and the threat of state enforcement mechanisms to pressure, castigate and designate the moral standing of other family members.
