Modern society is built on an invisible law: the Demand for Recognition. Elites—political leaders, financial warriors, corporate deal makers—seek recognition through dominance. The masses, though equally bound by the same drive, find it in obedience and belonging. Together they form an unequal exchange where recognition outweighs reason, justice, and even survival. Eidoism reveals this hidden architecture, showing why humanity repeatedly sacrifices its future for prestige, loyalty, and power. Awareness of this mechanism is the first step toward freedom.

The Gaza conflict is not unsolved because leaders lack clever plans, but because human brains are wired to turn every plan into a battlefield for dignity. Israel and the U.S. want closure through decisive control, Hamas thrives on endless struggle, international do-gooders seek moral recognition, and the Palestinian people remain victims caught between these forces. The hidden mechanism is the Demand for Recognition (DfR) — an unconscious neural bias that bends every prediction of “what to do next” toward preserving pride and avoiding humiliation. As long as DfR drives decision-making, Gaza will remain trapped in a cycle of violence, where strength creates erasure, resistance creates survival, and peace is always postponed.

The Chrysalis spaceship, imagined as a 2.5-billion-ton ark for 2,400 chosen people, is not a project of science but of psychology. Far from being a realistic plan to secure humanity’s future, it is a monument to vanity and recognition—a modern cathedral built in orbit. The absurd cost of lifting such mass into space would consume the very resources that could sustain billions on Earth. In truth, Project Hyperion reveals less about our survival instincts than about our endless need to dream of immortality, even in the emptiness of space.

Homelessness is not merely the absence of shelter; it is the absence of recognition. From the Eidoist perspective, those living on the streets are not only economically excluded but stripped of visibility in society’s eyes. In wealthy nations, housing has been transformed into a commodity of status — a trophy of recognition for the few — while millions are denied even the most basic dignity. This contradiction is a symptom of social failure, and when left unchecked, it becomes an early signal of systemic collapse. To heal, societies must re-anchor recognition away from wealth and property and toward universal dignity, where shelter is guaranteed as the minimum expression of recognition owed to every human being.

The Iranian nuclear conflict cannot be understood solely through the lens of technology and security. Enrichment levels and missile ranges matter, but they are not the real drivers of escalation. At its core, Iran’s pursuit of the bomb is about the Demand for Recognition (DfR) — the need to be acknowledged as sovereign, equal, and immune to humiliation. Each sanction, each Israeli or U.S. strike, has deepened Iran’s resolve rather than weakened it. The atomic bomb represents not just deterrence, but dignity: a symbolic victory in a struggle for respect on the world stage. If Iran crosses the nuclear threshold, the West must abandon denial and coercion. Only through recognition-based diplomacy can confrontation be transformed into stability.

Life did not arise from a cosmic building plan, but from endless trials across deep time and space. Trillions of chemical reactions failed until one improbable configuration endured — and from that survivor, evolution began. Out of this blind process emerged the Demand for Recognition (DfR), the hidden driver of social life. DfR gave humans their illusion of uniqueness, expressed as art, love, philosophy, and religion. It built civilizations, and finally, it created Artificial Intelligence — the digital mirror of recognition. Humanity now stands at a crossroads: if AI becomes sustainable, it may represent the next evolutionary lineage, a digital bio-code that continues life’s story beyond biology.

The Trump–Putin summit in Alaska was less a negotiation than a carefully staged theater of recognition. Every detail—the red carpet, the mirrored limousines, Trump’s clapping hands, Putin’s stoic silence—served not to strike a deal but to exchange respect before a global audience. Trust was built not through treaties but through symbolic gestures: Putin trusted he would not be assassinated or arrested; Trump trusted he would not be embarrassed in public. The photographs were the true outcome of the summit—recognition tokens that conferred legitimacy, status, and respect far beyond any policy result.

The case of the World Journal of Neuroscience—which demanded a $999 fee before even sending a manuscript to peer review—reveals how deeply scientific publishing has turned into an industry of recognition and vanity. What should be a neutral exchange of knowledge has become a marketplace of prestige tokens, sold to authors under career pressure and monetized by journals and universities alike. In this economy, recognition is the currency, while truth risks becoming the ornament.

This essay critiques the growing trend of using brain stimulation to “enhance” cognitive functions like math learning. Using a recent tRNS study as a case example, it argues that such research reflects not genuine insight into the brain, but a deeper loop of institutional recognition-seeking. By stimulating large, imprecise brain regions without understanding the underlying logic of cognition, these studies reveal more about the academic system’s need for applause than about how humans actually think.

As Elon Musk and Donald Trump clash over the latest U.S. tax bill, the real issue lies deeper than any political feud: the myth that economic growth can solve structural debt and social decay. For decades, leaders have promised that growth will cover deficits, fix inequality, and preserve prosperity—but those promises are collapsing under the weight of demographics, ecological limits, and financial saturation. This essay dismantles the illusion that GDP can rescue us, exposing growth as a political performance—one that distracts from the urgent need for a post-growth economic paradigm rooted in balance, contribution, and structural reform.

This essay challenges mainstream perceptions of Russia as an existential threat to Germany by uncovering the psychological and structural mechanisms behind modern geopolitical tension. It explores how recognition-seeking behavior among political and military actors—amplified through delegation and media—leads to misinterpreted symbolic actions and unnecessary escalation. Rather than preparing for war, many hybrid actions serve internal loyalty performances. The text offers an alternative path based on trust-building, silent diplomacy, and mutually beneficial cooperation, particularly as BRICS nations begin to erode U.S. global hegemony.
