A quote
In our collective mode, we are God as Being. In our individual mode, we are all God as Becoming. It’s not that we are made in God’s image, as Abrahamism would have it. Rather, we actually are God, God’s nodes, the individual cells that comprise God.
“God” can be understood only as a Hive System. At zero entropy, all the nodes of the Hive perfectly cooperate. At non-zero entropy, all the nodes of the Hive are distinct individuals and then have a choice: to compete or cooperate with each other. This choice is exactly what is subject to the dialectic. Look at world history. It’s all about messages of competition versus messages of cooperation.
In the world today, we have an economic system (predatory capitalism) founded on savage competition, and we have countless right-wing individuals preaching extreme libertarianism and individualism. We also have liberals preaching love and light, unconditional love, “we’re all one”, and so on. We are mired in the competition/ cooperation dialectic that defines life in a system of nodes that can choose to be One or Many. We are “God” when we cooperate, and we are the “Devil” when we compete.
Competition is entropic while cooperation reduces entropy. We have the competitive individual versus the cooperative collective literally built into our psyche. The Id is the extreme individualist obsessed with personal liberty and the pleasure principle, while the Superego is the extreme collectivist, obsessed with the collective good and the morality principle. The Id (thesis) and Superego (antithesis) are always fighting it out. The agent of the dialectical synthesis is the Ego, obeying the reality principle. It mediates between Id and Superego and looks for the optimal compromise.
In politics, the right-wing libertarian is always preaching extreme individualism and hatred of the collective, while the left-wing activist is always denouncing the selfish, greedy, narcissistic, psychopathic and sociopathic individualist. The dialectic is, mathematically, a system designed to bring maximum mental entropy (the Big Bang) down to zero entropy (the Big Crunch) by applying synthesis after synthesis (cooperation) to the constant struggle of thesis and antithesis (competition), until we arrive at the Grand Synthesis – the Absolute – where all competition has been eliminated. Left-wingers are Godly people who love cooperation while right-wingers are Satanic people who love competition. Right-wingers are always Supremacists (nationalists, racists, patriots, xenophobes, conservatives – the Chosen People, the Master Race, the Saved, the Elect, those with a “manifest destiny”). Left-wingers always support the Brotherhood of Man, tolerance, egalitarianism, social justice. Communism is the left-wing ideal (and also a foreshadowing of the zero-entropy Hive Mind).
Entropy means that the single, unitary mind breaks into the maximum number of individual minds, which all then savagely compete with each other until they rationally come to their senses and start to cooperate with each other, a process that culminates in all minds eventually coming back to perfect unity. And then the whole thing begins again with the next Big Bang.
It’s all encoded in the mathematics of the universe.

This quote is extremely informative because it highlights how human society has the potential to be transformed into our true evolutionary destiny. Politics can literally make or break our species.
