The Ultimate Anti-Theory By Talha Jubayer Rafi
A Unified Philosophy of Desire
1. The Death of "Should"
There is no should—only want. Every moral rule, law, or ethical principle is just a weak desire trying to control stronger ones.
Example: Laziness is a desire. If someone wants to be lazy enough to starve, that's their choice. If they want to exploit others to fund their laziness, that's just another desire clashing with the exploited's desire not to be used.
Moralists cope: They claim "society must function," but that's just their desire for order. If others desire chaos, who's "right"? Nobody. Only power matters.
2. Tyranny is Just a Stronger Desire Winning
If the majority wants oppression, that's reality. If you don't like it, fight back—not because you're "right," but because you desire freedom.
Revolt is natural: Slaves rebel when their desire for liberty outweighs fear. Dictators fall when enough people want them gone.
There is no "evil": The tyrant isn't "wrong"—they're just outnumbered or outmaneuvered. Might makes right, and "right" is an illusion.
3. Addiction is Pure Desire—No "True Self" Nonsense
An addict's craving is theirs because their brain is them. If they later regret it, that's just a new desire overwriting the old one.
There is no "real you": The self is a series of conflicting impulses. The "you" that wants heroin and the "you" that hates it are equally valid—just fighting for dominance.
Free will? Doesn't matter. Whether desires are determined or random, they are. You obey them or die resisting.
4. Life is a Power Struggle—No Deeper Meaning
War is default. Peace is just desire-clashes in stalemate.
Trade? Mutual exploitation. Love? Temporary alliance. Happiness? The current desire being satisfied—until the next one takes over.
5. The Only Solution: Cosmic Anarchy
Earth is a lost cause. The only way to avoid endless war is:
Space Colonization: Let those who desire order build utopias on Mars. Let those who desire chaos raid the outer rim.
There can be no forced unity. Any attempt to "unite" humanity will fail because desires always clash. It is better to split into factions too far apart to destroy each other.
Addressing Counterpoints:
1. What if the Majority Desires Oppression?
Even if the majority chooses tyranny, it remains a desire—no different from any other. You can still act against it, fueled by your own desire.
2. Resisting Corruption Despite Wanting More Money
Resistance happens because of conflicting desires: the desire for stability, freedom, and fear of consequences like imprisonment outweighs the desire for immediate wealth.
3. Is an Addict's Desire Truly Theirs?
Yes. The brain's craving is part of the person. Even if they later change, both the craving and the regret are real desires that existed at different times.
4. Just Because Desires Drive Behavior, Should They?
"Should" is another desire. If someone burns with ambition, they'll pursue it relentlessly. If someone desires laziness, they might achieve it by gaining enough wealth to never work.
5. If Desires Conflict Endlessly, is Life Just a Power Struggle?
Yes. Life is fundamentally a clash of wills with no ultimate peace.
6. How Should Societies Organize Around Desire-Clashes?
True organization would require physical separation—ideally through colonization of other planets or vast distances, because nearby divisions are always vulnerable to conflict.
Why This Breaks All Theories
Moral Philosophy (Kant, Mill): Useless. "Duty" and "greater good" are simply forms of personal or collective desire. Free Will Debates: Irrelevant. Whether choices are determined or random, the experience of desire remains the center. Political Theory (Locke, Marx): Naïve. Governments are merely desire-gangs maintaining dominance until they are replaced. Spirituality/Religion: Even belief in religion stems from a desire—a yearning for heaven, safety, purpose, or salvation.
Final Stand
This is not nihilism. It is hyper-realism.
No sugarcoating, no fairy tales. Desires rule, power enforces, and the universe doesn't care. Adapt or die.
Why It Becomes Ultimate
Because it does not pretend. It does not rely on hidden assumptions about "should," "truth," or "goodness." It accepts all desires as real, acknowledges their clash without bias, and proposes no utopia except separation through technology. It explains morality, politics, love, addiction, war, and peace under a single unified law: desire reigns, power enforces.
The universe doesn't care.
Adapt or die.
