[United States / Texas] - The Spectacle Self Ignores Death to Feed a Phantom of Entertainment

Event Baseline: A US Air Force member died during a daredevil descent performed before a Texas college football game. The game continued after the incident. Officials stated the decision was made before the fatality was known.

The self's addiction to spectacle overrides recognition of a human death. The game, the crowd, the institution continue as if the collapse of a body is irrelevant. This is a mechanical response. The organism is programmed to consume entertainment. Death interrupts the program, so the system ignores it to maintain flow. This is not callousness; it is the automatic operation of a corrupted thought. Thought has built a world where ritualized entertainment is paramount. The individual daredevil was sacrificed to feed the crowd's need for thrill. The program consumes its own components. The continuation of the game reveals a profound disconnect. The spectators' minds are full of images of competition and victory. A man dying on the field of play is just another image. There is no relationship, no shared humanity. The self is isolated in its own pleasure. This isolation is the root of all violence. The same mechanism that lets a game continue over a corpse allows a nation to bomb a market. The fragmentation is total. Unless the mind sees this, it will continue to feed on death while pretending to be civilized.
