Nietzsche's Zarathustra
According to Nietzsche's Zarathustra there are three or even four dangers: First, fear, then Clarity, then Power, and finally great Disgust. The passion for abolition. One can guess what Fear is. We are always afraid of losing, we do not want to lose, it is is our genes, in the very blueprints of evolution within us. Survival, once our most important instinct (however I believe altruism has been around for a long while).
We are afraid of losing our security. -on security "the great molar organisation that sustains us, the aborescences we cling to, the binary machines that give us a well defined status, the resonances we enter into, the systems that dominate us - we desire all that. The values, morals, fatherlands, religions and private certitudes our vanity and self-complacency generously grant us are so many abodes the world furnishes for those who think on that account that they stand and rest amid stable things; they know nothing of the enormous rout the are heading for ... in flight from flight."
Maurice Blanchot, (1971) L'amiti'e. p. 232, Paris: Gallimard.
People flee from flight, they rigidify their segments; everything is involved: modes of perception, kinds of actions, ways of moving, ways of acting, lifestyles, semiotic regimes.
