Reality is not empty or blind. Reality is animated by plot lines. These are the plot lines of evolution. The plot lines of evolution are Reality's codes of desire. Reality's desire is for Value. Eros is Value and Value is Eros. There is no split between them. It's Eros Value. That is the plotline of the CosmoErotic universe.
We are part of and participatory in Reality. Thus, like all of reality the plotlines of our lives are mapped by our codes of desire. Our clarified desire participates in the larger Field of Desire, which is also the Field of Eros Value. Our capacity to clarify, deepen and evolve our unique codes of desire is the evolution of Reality itself. Our unique codes of desire are evolution becoming uniquely conscious through each of us.
With the dogmatic claim of our postmodern zeitgeist that Value and therefore Eros Value have collapsed, an unbearable emptiness wells up in our hearts. We are no longer able to access the self-evident validity of Eros Value. We feel deadened and devalued. This dynamic at the very heart of culture is direct cause for existential risk. For the collapse of Eros is direct cause for the collapse of ethos, the breakdown of value. We seek to cover up the emptiness of Eros's collapse through pseudo-Eros. Pseudo-Eros exponentialized generate the tragedies of the commons that are the very heart of existential risk. To reclaim value and ethos, we must first reclaim Eros.
