Private Spaceflights and the Loop of Recognition

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.

Why Salary Is Always Too Low

Why are salaries systemically too low, even in essential jobs? The answer lies in a profit-driven economy where wages are not based on the real value of labor but on what can be withheld to maximize surplus. Employers reverse-engineer salaries to protect margins, while workers—trapped by survival needs and cultural obedience—lack the leverage to demand more. From an Eidoist perspective, this imbalance is not just economic but psychological: recognition replaces compensation, with praise, titles, and “team spirit” offered in place of structural fairness. True reform begins when labor is valued by the form it sustains—not by how well it performs in a hierarchy built on extraction and illusion.

De-dollarisation and Eidoism

De-dollarisation is more than a shift in global finance—it marks a deeper rebellion against the symbolic power of recognition. Eidoism, a philosophy that seeks to free individuals and systems from unconscious validation loops, sees in de-dollarisation a parallel movement: the refusal to define value through external status. As nations move away from the U.S. dollar, they also begin to exit a system built on visibility, hierarchy, and symbolic dominance. This essay explores how the unraveling of monetary hegemony opens the door to a post-recognition economy grounded in form, function, and autonomy.
