The Corporate Organism

By its very definition, the corporate organism assumes the role of an individual. The business corporation takes on a life of its own once it is fully recognized and the mechanism of control is defined. Comprised of workers that work together to provide a service or to produce a product, the entity itself has one main goal, and that goal is to influence the buying behaviors of the rest of the collective-human organism to secure a constant state of growth. These organisms rely on patronage from the public, but have been known to discount and devalue the people that they rely on, which is their workers, in the pursuit of the profit that drives their actions.

When a company decides to lay off 20,000 workers in pursuit of that profit, they place the value of money above the value of the humans that enable their existence. The rest of the collective-human organism does not question these types of actions as the corporate entity has done an excellent job at convincing the organism that these types of actions are permissible, if profit stands to be realized. Most of the corporate organisms today have followed the model of acquiring their product at the cheapest rate allowable, and that translates to the cost of labor being a prime candidate for manipulation.

You see, the organism relies on people, but there is not a mutually-beneficial dynamic where they need each other on an even level, so the corporate organism exerts dominance over the individuals within its ranks. The organism does not care if the individual worker can provide for themselves, as that is not a variable in the calculations made when setting their internal pay scales. Somewhere in the growing stage for these organisms, they lose sight of how their workforce fits into their existence. They assume the role of an individual and forget that they are a collection of people.

Further, the corporate organism takes part in election processes by giving money to political candidates who are running for a governmental-seat. Here we can see how the corporate organism is intertwined with the higher-levels of identity leading up to the nationalistic identity. Governments regulate corporations and have laws that keep the corporations playing within a set of rules. So, it is natural for them to place a stake in who is elected, for which position, and where it is beneficial for a corporate organism to do so. This organism can be a benefit, but more times than not, is more of a detriment to the collective-human organism as it desires to manipulate the organism by implanting concepts such as consumerism into the individual mind-state. Next, I will discuss the smaller-groupings of identity that lead to the division we see in our societal systems with the construct of “social organisms”.

This is a writing segment for The Codex Primum. These writings are created on this platform and I intend on publishing the finished product somewhere in the future. I am a writer by trade, but these beliefs are where I have found myself. I hope you enjoyed the mental exercise this hopefully evoked, and hopefully this provoked a new train of thought, if even for just a moment. Look for more to come in the following days, and follow me. I want to share this journey with whoever is willing to listen...
