1. The human individual has been conditioned to require judgment since the conception of tribalism. Without this requirement the cohesion of societies is impossible, the average human would not follow the state mandated ethical or moral frameworks without judgment from others. Judgment acts as a social glue, enforcing norms and expectations that maintain order and cooperation within communities.
2. Authority, whether political, religious, or social, has historically used judgment as a tool to control and limit individual freedom. By positioning themselves as ultimate arbiters of morality and truth, authorities restrict the personal autonomy of individuals, conditioning them to accept external definitions of right and wrong.
3. Similarly, the concept of God often functions as a supreme authority that demands obedience and submission, imposing moral codes that may suppress individual critical thinking and self-determination. The fear of divine judgment can be as powerful a form of social control as the fear of earthly punishment.
4. Most people do not develop their own ethical frameworks; rather, they adopt the values and norms handed down by authorities, be it the state, religious institutions, or cultural traditions, often without critical examination. This inherited morality can limit personal freedom by discouraging independent thought and fostering unquestioning obedience.
5. In the modern era, governments and corporations have refined the mechanisms of judgment and control through the curation of information and media. Algorithms, censorship, and targeted messaging are used to shape public perception and behavior, subtly reinforcing dominant moral and ideological frameworks. Rather than encouraging critical thought, the content most widely distributed tends to affirm existing power structures and consumerist values, guiding individuals toward passive acceptance rather than active questioning.
6. Corporations use advertising, media, and consumerism to mold values, desires, and social norms, encouraging people to buy products that reinforce existing power structures. This commodification of culture turns judgment into a mechanism of control, where consumption becomes both an expression of identity and a means of perpetuating corporate dominance, further limiting genuine personal autonomy and critical thinking.
7. Given the pervasive roles of government, capitalism, and religion, as intertwined systems that enforce judgment and maintain control over individuals, the abolition of these institutions becomes essential for true personal autonomy. Each system imposes external moral frameworks and exerts coercive power to limit independent thought and self-governance. Only by dismantling these structures can individuals begin to reclaim their capacity for autonomous judgment, critical thinking, and authentic freedom.
