This is the first in a series of consciousness-related and ego-related “treatises” that I made.
For some reason, I started reading a lot of philosophy in my high school sophomore year. I now realize that I didn’t really get all that much from reading all that, other than this abomination of pseudo-intellectualism. I think “social necessity” was to represent some sort of greater societal paradigm that each person has to inhabit. Like, you can’t scream in the middle of a mall because people would look at you weird. That was the idea of “social necessity.” But that’s also just “ego,” nah? You don’t scream in public because other people look at you weird. So this was technically my first paper on ego.
Let me also be clear that the Dialectic of Enlightenment nor the Enlightenment have any connection to “social necessity.” I don’t know where I was going with that. The PDF says that I wrote this April 7th, 2023.
