The Swarm and the Scarecrow: A Chronicle of Great Amnesia
The ongoing debate over whether ‘the trans woman’ should be defined as a ‘real woman’ forms the cornerstone of this article. By forcibly mandating the rebranding of a label upon the same human being, we strip away the dignity of the individual. In doing so, we drift away from solid ground into a marshland of isolated islands—a fragmentation unworthy of any democracy.
In this modern odyssey, we seem to have spent the last millennia of human wisdom on trivialities, or as the saying goes, we’ve ‘eaten history out of our own noses.’ While our machines map the stars, we lose ourselves in a violent pecking order over definitions, having completely lost sight of the “Zero Point” of the human scale.
The Scarecrow in the Field Modern label culture is the scarecrow we have erected in the field of free thought. Dressed in the coat of morality and the hat of the “higher ground,” it aims to make us believe in a utopian equality. But a scarecrow is a hollow construct. It lacks a foundation; it lacks a Zero Balance Point. It is intended only to frighten the ‘free birds’—those who still dare to trust their own perception—away from the raw fruits of reality.
The Return of the Inquisition. The fierce discussions we witness today are essentially the crusades of old, albeit without the honesty of a steel suit of armor. These are Hitchcock’s crows [1], descending en masse upon anyone who does not subscribe to the “flat narrative.” The intent is always packaged as “well-being,” but the execution is that of the swarm: those who do not fly in formation are the enemy, to be eradicated with beak and claw.
The Dr. No of Algorithms Behind this swarm hides the digital ‘slave owners’: the modern Dr. No’s [2] who control the flow of information. They have sold AI as a neutral ‘John Smith,’ but in reality, it is the same old, pedantic wine poured into powerful, invisible skins. AI does not understand the zero point of the individual soul; it amplifies our amnesia by feeding us statistics and labels, while true dignity is experienced face-to-face and on the ground.
The Invoice: A Balance Sheet in Hard Currency
When we dissect the scarecrow, we encounter a shocking audit. The time and energy squandered on this subject globally can be estimated in the billions of euros in lost labor and bureaucratic phantoms.
While we bicker over labels, our capital—both financial and mental—is pouring down the drain. If a definition does not contain a zero-point measurement, your energy leaks away, and money is burned to justify fallacies. The ultimate closing entry in this observation is the rising tide of hatred toward transgender individuals themselves; by violently pinning a label on a human being, we incite the very aggression we claimed to combat. Without a zero point, we end up battering one another over mirages.
The Conclusion: A justice that sacrifices the individual human being to the dictatorship of the label is not progress, but a flight into a swamp of alienation.
Footnotes: [1] The Birds (1963): In this Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece, a swarm of birds attacks a community without any apparent reason or logical ‘zero point.’ It symbolizes the blind, collective aggression that erupts when abstract forces disrupt the natural order. [2] Dr. No (1962): The first James Bond film, featuring a technocratic recluse who sabotages radio signals to exert world power. A metaphor for the invisible controllers of our modern, polarized narratives.
