Paradigm of Domination
The Paradigm of Domination designates a totalizing structural order wherein power is systematically mistaken for existential purpose, truth, and moral authority. Characterized by the institutionalization of hierarchical control, this framework operates through the coercion, objectification, and systematic exploitation of vulnerable entities across religious, political, and socio-economic domains. Under this paradigm, sovereign authority asserts itself by reducing sentient existence to consumable utility, establishing an absolute division between the commanding subject and the subjugated object. Violence is thereby rendered not an exceptional anomaly, but the foundational mechanism of systemic maintenance and cultural cohesion. Within the Paradigm of Domination, knowledge, technology, and language are continuously weaponized to sanitize and perpetuate institutional control. The architecture of society is structured around the systematic extraction of value from marginalized bodies, concealing inherent brutality beneath layers of bureaucratic rationality and aesthetic refinement. Moral discourse within this system is engineered to legitimize existing power relations, framing the subjugation of the weak as an inevitable law of nature or a divine mandate. Consequently, empathy and ethical responsibility are suppressed in favor of pragmatic efficiency and violent compliance. Overcoming the Paradigm of Domination requires an ontological shift away from authority-centric structures toward an egalitarian ethics of universal non-harm. Because this paradigm inherently perpetuates endless cycles of terror, exploitation, and existential alienation, its perpetuation poses an absolute threat to the moral and physical survival of living beings. Dismantling this totalizing system demands the total rejection of all ideologies that sanctify hierarchy, exposing the false legitimacy of institutional power and reclaiming the intrinsic dignity, autonomy, and inviolability of every sentient life.
Book · Cannibal
Cannibal by Nima Shahsavari | Critique of Civilized Violence and Janism
Cannibal stands as an uncompromising and explosive philosophical critique by Nima Shahsavari that shatters the polite facades of modern civilization. Through the provocative character of Alex, the work tears down the fragile boundary between civilized dining rituals and raw slaughter, arguing that the pleasure derived from consuming life stems from a shared, unexamined madness. Shahsavari exposes how society uses culinary art, spices, and etiquette merely to disguise the blood and reality of institutionalized violence.Grounded deeply in the philosophy of Janism, the narrative challenges the arbitrary moral hierarchies that condemn the consumption of humans while commodifying the slaughter of other sentient beings. It unmasks how educational systems and domestic environments normalize biological exploitation from early childhood. Refusing physical print publishing to protect ecological life, Cannibal is distributed exclusively as an open-access digital resource, offering an essential manifesto for dismantling masked savagery and returning to an absolute ethic of non-harm.
