Humans have always been subject to one of 3 codes: that of nature, society and religion. These codes have never been in harmony and therefore to quote Diderot, ‘there has never been a real man, a real citizen, a real believer.’
If everyone suffered from Tourettes syndrome this would be different.
We would all be real people, as everyone would be completely natural and speak what was exactly on the mind.
Everyone would be a real citizen, because the world population would be in no doubt of where they stood vis-a-vis their fellow denizens.
And there would be believers of sound, reasonable ideas. When a religious spokesman comes to your door and asks you to believe in a book that instructs you to embrace a God that is prone to genocidal rages and that temporally suspends the laws of nature in order to turn water into wine, fish into more fish, and allows someone to walk on water instead of getting a boat like normal people, the usual polite response is to say
‘Sounds interesting, I’ll take a look’ while thinking ‘Why can’t he create peace and abundance for all, instead of all this David Copperfield type frippery’. If you were a Touretto you’d shout ‘Fcuk off, Cvnt, b0ll0x!’ He in turn would reflect and agree that it didn’t make an awful lot of sense and thereby end holy wars and the oppression of millions.
There would be no pointless assignations by snipers as their positions would be easily revealed by the yelps, and the accuracy of the shot would be compromised by the twitches. No burglaries, muggings, confidence tricks in fact most crimes would be hampered. Eventually a state of peace and harmony will be achieved as everyone realises each other’s positions and beliefs, and the outbursts and profanity will cease, as there will be nothing to react against. Bliss.
