Here, the loop reveals itself.
Not to accuse, not to shame—
but to show where form has fallen, and recognition has taken its place.
This “Hall of Shame” is not about blaming individuals or groups.
It is not a moral indictment.
It is a mirror: a structural archive showing how recognition destroys form in real-world examples.
Not: “These people are bad.”
But: “Here, the loop has replaced structure.”
The visitor is invited to observe, not to react emotionally.
What does Eidoism Collect
You would gather fragments of:
-
- Public performances (political speeches, awards, scandals)
-
- Institutional breakdowns (activism turning into branding)
-
- Media distortions (truth sacrificed for clicks)
-
- Consumption absurdities (products sold purely for status)
-
- War propaganda (violence justified by pride or fear)
-
- Scientific ego battles (recognition over discovery)
Do-gooder activism is not about change—it’s about being seen as good.
The “Gutmensch” performs morality like a brand, trading justice for applause.
In a world ruled by recognition, even empathy becomes a costume.
Eidoism doesn’t reject goodness—it reveals when goodness is part of the loop.
Climate protests that glue bodies to asphalt seek to disrupt—but often perform.
What appears radical is quickly absorbed by the recognition loop: shared, judged, forgotten.
Without structural change or personal coherence, even resistance becomes spectacle.
The glue dries. The system stays.
The Blue Origin NS-31 mission, featuring an all-female celebrity crew on a 10-minute suborbital flight, is celebrated as a symbol of progress. But from the lens of Eidoism, it reveals the hollow form of modern recognition culture — prioritizing symbolic ascent over structural need. This essay critiques the ethical, ecological, and philosophical implications of privatized space tourism, questioning the legitimacy of pleasure and spectacle when divorced from responsibility, justice, and planetary limits.
