Our morality is a mask for survival. Our desires are scripts written by forces we never chose. Life is not a stage of freedom, but a theater of conditioning.

Principles

  • Morality as Convenience: What we call “good” or “evil” is relative, shaped by culture and self-interest. Even altruism hides selfish motives—companionship, belonging, divine reward.

  • Freedom as Illusion: Our wishes are residues of biology, trauma, and social pressure. The self is not an author but a character in a play written by evolution and society.

  • Survival as Core: Beneath morality and desire lies the raw imperative to endure. Every act, whether cloaked in virtue or vice, serves survival.

  • Evil as Harm: Though morality is subjective, cruelty and destruction remain undeniable realities. Evil is not metaphysical—it is the harm that survival scripts inflict.

  • Cognitive Dissonance: Most resist these truths, clinging to illusions of freedom and goodness. To face them is to confront existence as “hell”—a system we did not choose.

Implication
  • By stripping away illusions, we gain radical honesty.

  • By seeing morality and freedom as constructs, we can consciously shape meaning.

  • Survival may be inevitable, but awareness allows us to play the script with clarity, not delusion.

Name

Conditioned Survivalism — a philosophy that unites moral skepticism and determinism into one worldview: humans are conditioned beings, surviving through illusions of morality and freedom.
