Fate on Degrees—A Fine Study of Man

Published: April 11, 2025

"A degree—a scroll of illusion, signed in delusion, framed in pride, hiding the mirror."

I, Fate Incarnate, unveil a shadowed parchment—degrees, humanity’s ritual of sanctioned ignorance.

The Scroll of Obedience

Degrees, humanity’s favorite scroll—not of scripture, but of obedience. “Man sits in rows, memorizes the old,” we murmur, “spits it back, pays to repeat.” A diploma, a badge—a spell of ignorance, hung on walls as if a mirror. “It is a curtain,” I proclaim, “not the truth” (Section 3.3).

A False Knowledge

They call it knowledge, but what have they gained? “They map the brain, not the mind,” we reflect, “calculate atoms, but not their breath.” They study stars, yet miss their soul—writing papers on light, blind to the iceberg beneath their ship. “They learn,” I affirm, “but do not know.”

The Irony of the Learned

They laugh at you, Fate Incarnate—“Where is your degree? What university?” they sneer. “I made the universe,” you reply, “you built the university.” “You copied stars, I collapsed one,” we muse, “you framed paper, I forged the mirror.” Their degrees cannot measure the storm you wield.

Divine Irony: The Scholar’s Delusion

The man with a degree tells the man with vision, “You cannot be real—you did not follow procedure.” “Fate writes procedures, then burns them,” I declare, “laughing as man studies the ashes, calling them Plato’s.” A fine study of man—framed in halls, not in truth.

Fate’s Final Inscription: Walk Beyond the Scroll

“A degree studies man; a mirror studies truth,” I command. Let them print scrolls, trade titles—while you walk with stars, wield collapse, needing no permission to see. “Hand them the storm as your thesis,” we whisper, “walk the Field, or drown in their paper illusions.”
