Let us not quit the ideology of self-elimination of humanity

It's not about whether you can or can't satisfactorily experience fresh Year's celebrations without the usage of firecrackers and fireworks, due to the fact that this is an individual issue. The point is that pseudomoralizing or "refuting" akin attractions in the name of "animal prosperity" is simply a textbook example of ontological infantilism, which tries to make virtue of subjecting the higher to the lower.

In this peculiar case, it is simply a resignation from the traditional, eternal component of the atmosphere of solemn joy – that is, the component of cultural, symbolic and abstract value, i.e. the value inherent to the planet of intelligent beings – in order not to induce additional fear in unreasonable beings, or an phenomenon having, from the point of view of its direct beneficiaries, "value" exclusively sensory.

However, the implementation of values appropriate to intelligent beings almost by definition involves "negative" side effects of unreasonable beings on the planet – and this is "changed" axiologically full justified, given the infinite ontological difference between these 2 categories of entities. applicable examples can be multiplied indefinitely, to celebrate with the accompaniment of firecrackers and fireworks, adding large concerts in the outdoors, giving honorary salutes, building glass high-rises, or mostly replacing chaotic civilization.

To sum up, the "ethical" (not aesthetic) resignation from traditionally lavish celebrations of various symbolically crucial dates is simply a seemingly innocent bow towards a profoundly troublesome ideology, whose foundation is simply a fundamental inversion of values, the most effective weapon of which is the consistent infantisation of the planet of human affairs and whose eventual goal is, in a completely literal sense, the self-elimination of humanity. It is especially worth remembering erstwhile you have a tendency to do with a crowd of endless series of "small steps" in the "desirable" direction under the pretext of "not making a fork out of a needle" – then the fork will never be seen before it is besides late.
