It is unclear whether our society is in a state of advance or decay. in the case of advance, the innovations increasing the longevity of life have proliferated to an extent allowing humans to bypass disease and in exreme hypothetical cases, decay itself. This beckons the question,"What is advance?" to be asked. In a conventional sense, advance is progress heightening the human condition, furthering us from our primal past, and the provision of commodity. In what sense is heightened longevity furthering the human condition?! On the contrary, one may argue that our state is deplorable and that a longer life is one of anguish and strife. The Natural Order can be interpreted as a set of blueprints for life; a detailed design determining the rate of growth and the economically efficient decline leading to death. As the population decreases, new generations may flourish with ample room and opportunity to establish a new set of social standards. Ideas, like organisms, are social entities that have a lifespan; they too are prone to obsoletion. Therefore if an organism that holds a specific idea as paramount never dies, the concept will run it's bountiful course and reach a state of decline. The organism suffers from the inefficiency the idea remaining a keystone over a prolonged period, exceeding its efficiency period. The society constructed upon these ideals become weak and untimately fall apart. Does this mean taht society is in a state of decay? The answer is Not Yet. Our life spans are still just short enough to allow a renewal of ideas before the toxicity of the ones in place poison the society. However, The departure of old ideas and arrival of new ones is becoming more and more belated, insinuating an inevitable fall towards decay. On the issue of social decay, it is necessary in order to understand decay to observe the prominent factors thereof. The most obvious factors exist in the guise of permanent structure; although the aesthetics of permanent structure insinuate an efficient society, the components of a permanent order fail at key points. The grunts, proles, working class, or, "Cogs" in the machine lack proper "lubrication," or renewal of purpose. In favor of efficiency, excessive mobility of the machine's parts are reduced. The cogs crack and stop spinning, unbeknownst to the countless backups and smaller cogs. The parts are replaced and the machine continues running. The machine no longer strives for efficiency; its sole purpose is to produce factors that increase the machine's power. We are the cogs, wasted and destroyed while the machine strives to eliminate us entirely in favor of self perpetuation.

Coming soon, in "Observations of a Dying World":
"Concerning Immortality"
"one must observe"
"polytheism was commonplace, with several"
"of"
And much, much more!
Critics are saying,
"Wtf"
"it's a must read"
"I was hanging on every preposition"
"lol"
And "lay off the acid, kid"
