For those in the back, there are no elites or president that is beyond the control of the president but is hidden.

Its funny that this is only an american concept, because no one things Putin or Kim Jong is a puppet. No one bats an eye that the Queen of England is absolute but the USA president? Nope, Puppet lol.

Modern global networks present a distinct social paradox: while technological infrastructure has reduced physical degrees of separation to historical minimums, psychological alienation and social fragmentation have conversely escalated. This paper theorizes the social zero-point, defined as a state of absolute cognitive and experiential unity wherein the perceived boundary between the individual and the collective is entirely dissolved.

We argue that societal division is sustained not by physical barriers, but by layered psychological distances and administrative legal fictions (e.g., nationalities, legal statuses, corporate classifications). By systematically deconstructing these constructs through the lens of Radical Humanism and Animism, individuals can transcend tribal out-group categorization.

This outline provides a comprehensive structural framework for operationalizing individual solidarity, transforming collective survival from a moral obligation into a baseline cognitive reflex.

1. Introduction: The Proximity Paradox

In the early 20th century, sociologists like Georg Simmel identified that physical proximity does not guarantee social cohesion; individuals can exist in tight geographical spaces while remaining profoundly estranged (Soziale Distanz). In the 21st century, this phenomenon has amplified. Algorithmic curation, digital echo chambers, and hyper-individualistic economic models have accelerated mental separation. While a user can transmit data globally in milliseconds, the psychological distance between disparate social groups has widened.

To bridge this gulf, contemporary frameworks must move beyond passive empathy. Empathy inherently preserves a dualistic separation; preserving an "I" that feels compassion for a distinct "Other." Conversely, achieving systemic cohesion requires reaching the social zero-point: an existential and structural state where the self and the collective are recognized as fundamentally continuous. This transition requires mapping the cognitive dimensions of our current isolation and outlining the strategies necessary to collapse them.

1. The Four Degrees of Mental Separation

Building upon Construal Level Theory (CLT), which dictates how psychological distance influences cognitive representation, we categorize mental separation into four distinct dimensions. These dimensions function as psychological hurdles that prevent the formation of unified collective consciousness.

Social Distance (The "Us vs. Them" Boundary)

Social distance is the perceived cognitive gap between the self and those categorized into social out-groups. The human brain naturally relies on social categorization to economize cognitive processing. However, when social distance is high, empathy diminishes exponentially. Out-group members are perceived as a monolith, stripping them of individual nuance and causing profound alienation even within shared environments.

Informational Distance (The Epistemic Gap)

Informational distance occurs when individuals or groups operate within entirely separate epistemic ecosystems. Driven by algorithmic personalization and confirmation bias, individuals consume fundamentally divergent sets of data. This creates a cognitive gap where meaningful communication breaks down entirely; parties cannot cooperate because they do not share a common foundation of baseline facts.

Experiential Distance (The Phenomenological Gulf)

This dimension is defined by unshared lived realities. Deep-seated personal experiences—such as localized trauma, generational poverty, systemic bias, or sudden immense privilege; alter an individual's neurological and emotional baseline. When one lacks a proxy for another's experience, an experiential gulf emerges, characterized by the cognitive barrier: "Your reality is fundamentally inaccessible to me."

Ideological and Value Distance (The Axiological Friction)

Ideological distance refers to the friction between competing moral frameworks. As demonstrated by Moral Foundations Theory, human groups prioritize evolutionary pillars (e.g., care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and sanctity) differently. When two parties evaluate an event using entirely different moral hierarchies, they view each other's actions not merely as disagreeable, but as inherently irrational or malevolent, inducing severe emotional withdrawal.

1. Deconstructing Legal Fictions

The primary mechanisms keeping these four degrees of separation intact are legal and administrative fictions. Nationalities, state borders, socioeconomic tiers, corporate personhood, and legal statuses are artificial, bureaucratic constructs designed to categorize, manage, and divide populations. While originally implemented to organize complex societies, humanity has mistakenly reified these transient systems into immutable truths. Reaching the social zero-point requires peeling back these administrative layers through a dual-layered philosophical critique.

The Humanist Core

Beneath the veneer of legal documentation lies the universal human experience. Radical Humanism asserts that an individual’s rights, dignity, and existential value are inherent to their conscious biological existence, completely independent of recognition by a sovereign state. By centering human identity on shared evolutionary hardware; the universal capacity for grief, joy, physical vulnerability, and self-awareness; the administrative "Other" is exposed as an illusion. The out-group member is recognized simply as another instantiation of the self, experiencing reality from alternative spatio-temporal coordinates.

The Animist Matrix

To achieve absolute zero-point alignment, humanism must expand into animism. Anthropocentric humanism retains a lingering separation between human society and the broader biophysical environment. Animism deconstructs this boundary, recognizing all components of the ecosystem (fauna, flora, watersheds, lithic systems) as sovereign, interdependent nodes possessing agency and alive-ness.

Western jurisprudence historically treats the natural world as property to be extracted. Animism rejects this legal fiction, integrating the individual into a continuous, living web. At this level, the boundary between "human" and "nature" collapses. Harm inflicted upon the collective ecosystem is recognized as an immediate act of self-harm, as the individual is entirely continuous with, and sustained by, the matrix of the biosphere.

1. Operationalizing the Zero-Point Strategy

Transitioning from theoretical unity to material reality requires concrete, repeatable behavioral mechanisms. Individual solidarity must be translated into actionable systemic strategies that systematically degrade psychological distance.

Radical Interdependence (The Paradigm Shift)

Individuals can choose to shift from atomized self-interest to a cognitive framework of total interdependence, akin to the Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu ("I am because we are") or the concept of Interbeing. This involves acknowledging that individual survival and accomplishment are structural impossibilities without the foundational labor of the collective organism. When personal well-being is understood as a collective group project, the mental boundary between self-interest and public interest dissolves.

Civic Muscle (The Material Catalyst)

Unity cannot be actualized through isolated contemplation; it must be forged through collective physical labor. Engaging in hyper-local mutual aid networks, decentralized community organizing, and non-hierarchical cooperative projects builds what sociologists term "civic muscle." Working collaboratively toward a shared material outcome flattens social hierarchies, bridges experiential gaps, and creates shared histories that rapidly diminish social distance.

Decategorization (The Cognitive Re-Wire)

To short-circuit evolutionary tribal impulses, individuals must employ the Common In-Group Identity Model. This cognitive strategy deliberately expands the boundaries of the "In-Group" until it encompasses the entirety of conscious life. During social interactions, individuals must actively deprioritize superficial categorizations (e.g., political affiliation, occupation) and focus exclusively on superordinate identities (e.g., shared parental care, shared environmental vulnerability). This cognitive re-framing systematically neutralizes out-group biases at the neural level.

Prosocial Aligned Action (Structural Integration)

The zero-point is stabilized when an individual’s daily micro-choices are structurally integrated with the desired outcomes of the collective. This requires aligning labor, capital allocation, and time with public goods; prioritizing open-source utility, ethical supply chains, and public transit. When private behavior directly fuels the optimization of the collective, the individual identity merges seamlessly with societal evolution.

1. Conclusion

The social zero-point is not a utopian abstraction, but an existential and biological reality obscured by centuries of institutional compartmentalization. By treating legal fictions as malleable constructs and recognizing our shared human and ecological ancestry, the cognitive distance separating the individual from society evaporates. When the strategies of radical interdependence, civic muscle, decategorization, and prosocial alignment transition from voluntary ethical choices into baseline behavioral reflexes, the illusion of isolation collapses. What remains is a highly resilient, unified social organism operating with absolute solidarity toward shared survival and flourishing.

I have zero astronomy background so this is probably dumb
But I’ve been looking at the life cycles of so many organisms in biology in college that everything starts to look like a reproductive cycle 🫠

The Big Bang theory already explains why galaxies are moving at different speeds and residual microwave radiation from the event. What if the galaxies aren’t just moving away from the Big Bang but also towards something else?

Go on, I'm waiting for some crazy theories.

To begin with, one cannot judge whether an act is good or bad through its consequences, because the consequences of an act unfold chaotically and are not limited in time and space.

Good and evil are therefore notions belonging to the realm of the mind, and thus of consciousness. One cannot judge the morality of an act by the intention of the person performing it, which by definition is accessible only to that person.

But then what is a good intention and a bad intention? 🤔 Because if I say "a good intention is the intention to do good," that is tautological.

But if we start from the fact that: thieves do not like being robbed, liars do not like being lied to, killers do not want to be killed, swindlers ask their partners in crime to be loyal to them, cheaters demand justice, etc. Universal morality would therefore be conscious reciprocity?

My theory: We dream dead people's lives and that's why we see our future and wake up from scary dreams

Conscious Collective Projection Theory

We dream dead people's lives. They choose to show us through connecting their spiritual consciousness to our consciousness. That's why we don't watch the dream, we live it. And because the universe is massive and everything is possible, weird dreams are possible too - because for someone, somewhere, that weird life actually happened.

And that's why we wake up from scary dreams and why we see our future. We wake up because our brain can't imagine our own consciousness being killed, so when their death comes, it cuts the connection. And we see our future because the person showing us their life has already experienced our fate - their past is our future - so when it happens in real life, we feel our dream came true.

So what do you think of your dream?
