This book is a radical philosophical critique of universal values and ethics. With sharp, poetic precision, it dissects human nature, the illusion of morality, and the silence of death. Combining cosmological metaphors and social analysis, it reveals how universal ideals serve to mask cowardice, and how memory, death, and dignity collapse under ethical convenience. A book for readers ready to confront not the world, but themselves.

------------------ VALUE ERROR Why Universal Values Destroy Human Beings

This is not a book that comforts. It is a declaration of human hatred-uncomfortably precise, mercilessly observed.

With harmless faces, they tried to scrub the stench. But when they opened their mouths, fragments flew-red-hot or cold, depending on whose skin they touched.

Morality became a tool to disguise cowardice. Universal values? Systems of emotional convenience, nothing more. Ethics wore civility like perfume over rot. Faith drifted-soft, unmeasured, weightless. And justice? It never crossed the heliopause.

A human life is nothing but a thin membrane on spacetime: It inflates, bursts-and is forgotten.

"Why Universal Values Destroy Human Beings" is not a metaphor. It is a fact.

This book offers no hope. It observes-coldly, without pause-how the species called human betrays its own form.

They turned from the flesh- from what they themselves had hollowed out. Their trajectories circled like shadows of imaginary numbers. Their mouths became tools for sealing lies.

"Universality" reached nothing. "Philosophy" became the aesthetic of feigned emotion. Humans forgave themselves too easily. And so, too many lies were elevated into thought.

VALUE ERROR is not about others. It is a quiet post-mortem on the species called "human." Every line I wrote tightened the ligature. And the more I wrote, the more I disliked being one.

But if you are ready to doubt everything, begin here.
