Iran - The State Self Criminalizes Connection, Proving the Illusion of a Shared World

Event Baseline: Iran's parliament is considering a bill that would impose sweeping restrictions and penalties on contact with foreign institutions and foreign-based media. The law would further isolate Iranians from outside information.

The state fears the other so much it must sever the nervous system of its own population. Thought has drawn a border around the entire nation. Contact with the foreign is labeled treason. This is the final stage of the paranoid self: it will kill its own body to protect an image.

The population becomes a prisoner of its own government's fear. No nation is sovereign; all are connected, but the state cannot see this. It will collapse from the inside as knowledge withers and the people become blind, deaf, and mute.

Iran is not a self. It is a thought-made boundary. The foreign is not a threat; it is the same consciousness wearing different clothes. Until the state sees that isolation is suicide, it will criminalize every breath of the outside world and then blame the outside world for its own death.
