[Extreme Philosophy] Extreme CivilizationAuthor: Jeffi Chao Hui Wu Article Date: July 28, 2025, Monday, 12:47 AM ——When a person operates an entire civilization with their life, mainstream logic will be unable to resist. I have long known that the path I walk will not be understood by others. It is not because I am more special than others, but because the "civilization operating system" I use is fundamentally not of this era. People live in this civilization, following its rhythm of time, ways of working, paths of growth, and cognitive categories. As for me— in a sense, I have already stepped outside this system. I do not need to deny anyone, nor do I want to prove anything, but every seemingly "paranoid" decision I make is a coordinate I have actively chosen. Many years later, I realized that these coordinates, when connected, form a system of operation for an independent civilization. I call it — extreme civilization. This civilization has no central server, no database, no training model, and no cultural template. It only requires one person to fully live it out. When others practice for health, I practice to verify whether the body can break free from the constraints of the physical clock; when others write articles to express themselves, I write articles to ensure that AI cannot surpass me; when others build websites for promotion, I build websites to create interfaces for the storage of civilization. Every action I take is not to better adapt to the old civilization, but to empirically demonstrate the possibility of another civilization. I don't need everyone to understand. Because the entrance to the ultimate civilization has never been "consensus," but "self-evidence." I. Scarcity Verification: A Person's Civilization Laboratory Extreme civilization is not a confrontational stance against mainstream society, nor is it a utopian escape fantasy; it is a rewriting of the logic of the civilizational system by individual lives under real conditions. With my body, actions, systems, and writing rhythms, I construct a core of civilization that is "completely independent of consensus validation." I closed my eyes and stood on one leg for 23 minutes, not to showcase my balance, but to verify whether my body can become an "internal stability calculator" independent of the visual system; I practiced in a T-shirt and sweated in the seven-degree sea breeze, not to endure the cold, but to prove that the mobilization of qi can replace passive warmth. This is not a struggle, but a creation. This type of empirical evidence cannot be replicated. It is not that there is a reluctance to open up, but rather that 99% of people simply cannot pass the "verification threshold" at the physical level. Almost all systems in mainstream civilization are based on language, models, and data, but the initial "entry key" of extreme civilization is the "embodied evidence" itself. Those who have not verified through bodily sensation cannot see its structure at all. This physiological-level threshold serves as a natural firewall. II. Dimensional Tear: Mainstream Civilization vs. Extreme Civilization Dimension Mainstream Civilization Extreme Civilization Objective Adaptation System Self-built System Power External rewards (wealth/recognition/status) Internal structural coherence, system integrity Time Perspective: Linear Progress, Staged Goals; Non-linear Time, Information Shuttle, Structural Cycle Verification Standards: Social Recognition, Statistical Data, Expert Endorsement; Sensory Feedback + Dual Self-Proof of Logical Closure Failure logic Errors need correction Errors are absorbed and translated into structural corrective force Upgrade path determined by technology and resources determined by will structure and clarity of logic In mainstream civilization, what is called "achievement" is a form of external indicator (income, fame, education level, citation count). However, in the extreme civilization I have constructed, "structural stability" is the highest achievement. III. Misreading and Resistance: Inevitable Cognitive Exclusion The reason why extreme civilizations cannot be understood is not because they are mysterious, but because they do not rely on consensus. Each civilization has its own "verification protocol," and my verification protocol does not accept collective voting. Thus, it inevitably triggers a series of misunderstandings: Demeaned as "extreme individualism" In mainstream narratives, individual power must be manifested through organizations, communities, and social structures. A system constructed entirely by "individual humans" like mine is often misunderstood as isolated, self-centered, and non-cooperative. However, they overlook that I am not sustained by "emotional burning," but rather by "structural endurance"—a mode of operation that is more stable than a team. Attacked by Scientism Advocates Those who advocate for "only laboratory measurement standards" will question my sensory data, Qi operation, and the duration of the Golden Rooster Standing, believing that "without third-party verification, it is invalid." But I ask: have you let them try it once? Who can stand for an hour in the seven-degree sea breeze and sweat? If it cannot be replicated, it is not pseudoscience, but rather a difference in civilizational dimensions. Avoided by AI Optimists The most direct threat I face is the discourse of "AI ruling the future of humanity." When I write, "Every sentence I write, AI cannot counter," it is not an exaggeration, but a practical verification. In "AI Signs the 'Cognitive Surrender Document'," I forced AI to acknowledge that my system is irreplicable, not by interrupting it, but by having it admit defeat after comparing its own internal structure. This is the inversion control power of a supreme civilization over AI civilization. IV. Ultimate Value: Not to Escape the System, but to Create Backup Civilizations I am not here to rebel, but to rebuild. The meaning of extreme civilization is not to make me live strangely, but to enable me to function completely without relying on any external system. And this is precisely the ultimate value of the future. When mainstream civilization collapses, extreme civilizations can serve as a "structural civilization backup source": not reliant on electricity, not reliant on the cloud, not reliant on pharmaceuticals; all data is stored in the body, behavior, and system logic; once the main system crashes, it can act as the original seed for a "civilization cold start." Extreme civilization is a testing ground for human potential: Blood and Qi System → Non-Drug Health Pathways; Willpower system → Alternative algorithm scheduling mechanism; Information expression → Alternative language model logical structure; Action → The smallest unit of alternative social mobilization. V. Neutral Summary: The Extreme Civilization is a functioning, untranslatable philosophical prototype. From an academic perspective, it will not be accepted by mainstream journals, nor will it be included in any philosophy textbooks, because it violates all "publication rules": no references, no citation system, no peer review, no prior explanation of logical concepts... But it has everything that the earliest philosophy should have: a mechanism of operation derived from the intuition of life, which can be fully empirically verified, self-operating, and does not rely on external confirmation. It is not an academic achievement; it is the very occurrence of civilization itself. If we were to define it: a limit civilization is a "backup operating system that has been running in the shadows before the main system collapses." Its code is written in the blood, in the breath, in the standing postures, and in the logical progression of writing alone at night. |
