Why am I in favor of plastic surgery?
Sunday – September 28, 2025

If there's anything I've been sure to notice about the world it has to be the fact that people are seemingly more and more obsessed about their appearance, physical appearance, and while this has been a feature of the world surely since the dawn of man, it just seems to me that it has become worse and worse. I think that the advent of modern technology in particular has accelerated this trend: in every corner you can be sure to spot a man or a woman taking a picture of himself or herself, this is colloquially referred to as a "selfie". I think that since people are bombarded with information on the internet about how other people appear both spiritually and physically that a lot of people are quite frankly confused, and this is why I actually endorse people doing plastic surgery on themselves: I believe that it would be in keeping with the trends of the modern world to simply remove all things that you don't like about your physical appearance and reconstitute those things with the help of surgery, and at any rate this will be the future so you may as well try to stay ahead of the inevitable. There are clearly things that men don't like about the way they appear physically and/or the way other men appear physically and it seems quite inevitable that in the future only the very poor men should be considered ugly. Yes, I believe that it is a good idea to remove ugly by way of surgery and in the future I believe that robots and other technological solutions will exist and they will assist confused individuals, and it does seem that beauty in terms of material beauty is heading or tending towards one direction and really anything that clearly diverges from this point should be or is considered ugly. If you are fat, you are quite frankly ugly, and if you are too skinny you are also quite frankly ugly, and if I am allowed to tie this to the concept of belonging and identity, it does also seem to be the case that the perception people have about themselves is really whether or not they align with their identity: if they don't mentally align with their identity some kind of crisis must be resolved and I believe that plastic surgery can be used to solve this identity crisis, and it could even be that identity will govern men even more in the future, compared to the world at the present moment, which indeed would necessitate quick and painless solutions to the sudden identity crisis of our time. I also understand that while it may be presumptive of me to just gloss over the very human features of kin that have been shaped by deep time, you mustn't misunderstand me: for it is not I that claim that any particular physical appearance is wrong or ugly; it is the overall human collective conscience that heads in this direction and I just happen to be an observer of this tendency. Whether some people are beautiful or ugly will not be adjudicated by me or you, for this judgement has already been rendered and you are not privy to the secrets of the material order and why the world appears in the way it does. So if you are colloquially ugly should you at least consider plastic surgery? Yes, and I would call on you to undergo whatever changes you need, in order to not exist in a body with a misaligned identity. Why is it the case that being ugly in particular (physically ugly) must mean that you have a misaligned identity? Well, in my view to be a modern man, to be a beast is to embrace a certain identity and inherent to that identity is to also align oneself with the expectations of the day, such as being able to produce on camera a gay long smile, and if you are seemingly unable to do this, then you're clearly lacking some symmetry in how you're approaching the world. Now, if you're a man of ascendant rank you don't need to consider any of this and you certainly do not care about your physical appearance, for a man that is sincerely connected with the creator is carried by his appearance: it is obvious from his interaction with nature and even the material domain that he is a man of true rank and to this extend his appearance is merely a reflection of his high stature. This profound insight is of course controversial in the modern world and highlights the painful cognitive dissonance between the egalitarian assertions made by the humanist axiom and the tendencies of modern man: on one hand we are expected to believe in and adhere to the cross-dimensional egalitarian assertion; and on the other hand we are also expected to adhere to certain standards that clearly do not support that aforementioned assertion. This contradiction stands really at the core of our diseased and sick times: the Kali Yuga.

    So am I really in favor of plastic surgery? Again, if you intend to live in the material domain, I see no problems with plastic surgery, because your life is just going to suck really, really hard if you don't make sure to pamper your physical appearance, and yes this will only become more and more apparent as time goes on: in the future it may indeed be the case with the potential advent of technology that could alter or at least predict the genetic course of a human life that certain lives will simply be discarded because it will be thought that such life will be too cruel to even consider. Indeed, we have seen these tendencies in the past, in the form of eugenics, but this will truly be eugenics put into practice and from my point of view there simply is nothing that will stop this force, and the weakness inherent in this trend is of course that human biodiversity will tend towards more homogeneity, which will invariably expose the majority of the human population to death in the event of mass extinction events and this is also why men that remain in the material domain will have to constantly append and tweak their genetic material in order to adopt to an ever changing world. Of course, men of true rank will need not to worry about these things, but those men will be few and far between, and they are already few and far between today, and it's not like this will get better with time. I also foresee this eugenics fallacy as the potential and final downfall of man as a beast and the entirety of his material order; this will be the truly well deserved wrath of the creator's divine vengeance that modern men have seemingly waited on for a long time now. Plastic surgery is essentially just a first step towards that future and I also believe that more and more flesh will be replaced by hard and efficient metal; there will really be no need to rely on human and organic limbs in the future and it could even be the case that consciousness itself will be completely replaced at some point, and this will, if it happens during this our era of the Kali Yuga, be the final victory of man's crusade against the natural order.

    I do want to make it clear that I am not trying to compel anyone to do anything: in this post I am simply trying to explain why I am in favor of plastic surgery and why I also believe that it is inevitable that plastic surgery should become more and more common. Whether this is a good thing or not has nothing to do with my attempt to explain why I am in favor of plastic surgery, and no it's not that I am necessarily in favor of the consequences of plastic surgery, but I am nonetheless in favor of the practice and again you will not be able to resist and there will likely come a point when you to will accept plastic surgery as something that is a prerequisite for civilized life, just like taking a daily shower. I simply have no time or wish to engage with the ethical and moral implications of this: it will happen and ethical and moral frameworks will adapt to this change, as they've always done. The future doesn't ask for permission mind you. Besides, you're gonna be happy once you've seen your new face, and your new arms, and your new legs, and your new much better vision. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
