The concept of dignity in humanity is a strange thing, is not it? Where does this dignity come from? Is it our penthouse view from the food chain? Is it intrinsically imprinted somewhere in our fleshy beings, given us from the personal God? Is it something we individually earn with fists clenched firmly on our muddy bootstraps? Or, perhaps, a pragmatic philosophical abstraction that cannot be explained nearly so much as it is required for social existence–yet, empirically, an illusion?

Whatever mole you decide to whack, you have some explaining to do?

Over the next month (on what will hopefully be a daily basis), I will attempt to construct an experience to be set in the framework of our ideals of human dignity. Said experience will be comprised wholly of music videos, a medium of language that floods our own (post)modern chapter of history. Likely, your gut will churn with embarrassment for the person(s) involved in the production of these works, and, furthermore, you will undoubtedly desire to cease viewing immediately–sometimes before the actual song begins. I urge you, to stay the course, for at stake is the Ductility of the Doctrine of Human Dignity.

Metatonement

If anyone was looking to act out a splendid illustration of the gospel that would be relevant for contemporary gamers, make your way to China with your crimson extract stat! Taken from this article:

An online game operator has demanded that banned players donate blood to be allowed back into the game. Moliyo, which runs a 3D massively multiplayer online game in China, made the demand after banning 120,000 players who attempted to hack the game, according to gaming news website, 17173.com.

More than 100 players had already signed up to exchange half a litre (1 pint) of blood for game accounts, 17173 reported (in Chinese). The company has also offered free accounts to ordinary players who give blood, the website claimed…

Moliyo arranged the event in an attempt to “create a civilized society, and enhance online gamers’ appreciation of social responsibility and public welfare,” according to 17173.com.

Granted, you would only be able to save a few characters over the course of a week, pushing the limits of your body. But I reckon’ that is enough to score a few disciples.
