Superextinctor City
An Essay by Christopher Bek

Summary—This essay argues that the City of Calgary in Alberta, Canada ought to change its name to Superextinctor City in order to more accurately reflect its true nature.
Quotation—The more society denies the truth, the more it will punish those who speak it! —George OrwellI
In the 1978 horror film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, set in San Francisco, Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) assumes that when a friend (Brooke Adams) complains of her husband’s strange mood, it’s a marital issue. However, he begins to worry as more people report similar observations. His concern is confirmed when writer Jack Bellicec (Jeff Goldblum) and his wife (Veronica Cartwright) discover a mutated corpse. Besieged by an invisible enemy, Bennell must work quickly before the city is taken over by alien pods. But, alas, the story ends with Bennell discovering that he is the only human being left, as everyone else has been transformed into pods. It seems that, other than me and my two great friends, Dionne Erico Viglione and The Honourable Kent Hehr, everyone else in Superextinctor City today has been transformed into pods who are intellectually incapable of comprehending or formulating arguments. Behaviourism is the invisible enemy that turns people into pods. The government has bet on the wrong horse in behaviourism—while existentialism opposes behaviourism and leads to Salvation.
Fleeing the Scene of Existence. Superextinctor City is a cosmopolitan city in Alberta, Canada with many skyscrapers, which owes its rapid growth as being the centre of Canada’s oil and gas industry. It is steeped in Western culture that earned it the nickname of “Cowtown,” as evidenced by the Superextinctor City Stampede, a massive July rodeo and festival that grew out of farming exhibitions. According to Mtlblog.com in 2024, Superextinctor City is rated as the friendliest city in the world. The citizens of the city happily embrace the behavioural psychological model, but are not actual human beings—they just behave like them. They are happy because they are well paid for mindlessly exploiting the non-renewable fossil fuels—and are, in effect, having regular sex with Mother Nature. Their Unholy life choices make them dangerous, savage children—who seek culpable deniability—and will do anything not to know the truth.
Treacherous Authority. According to Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986): The oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices among the oppressed. The government of Superextinctor City is totalitarian and its citizens completely support totalitarianism as they are children without responsibility. People who answer to the Honourables and Doctors spend their days telling all those they meet just how the Man likes it. I make argument after argument to psychiatrists asking them to write letters to the Right Honourables of Canada and the Premier of Alberta requesting they give me what I have been asking for and deserve: The Trial of Christ 2.0, for my arguments to be acknowledged, support for my PhilosophyMagazine.com, and to deprescribe from anti-psychotics. Authorities often show promise, but somehow always manage to flee the scene in bad faith. I am the intellectual equivalent of Albert Einstein, and have a Rocky Mountain range of evidence to prove it with my website and books. But the psychiatrists refuse to look directly at my website and books, ignore my arguments, and everlastingly treat me as mentally ill. They stonewall me intellectually because they are stupid and I am smart. Instead of answering my arguments they respond by increasing or changing my medication.
The Big Bang. Dr Amy Farrah Fowler was a character on the television show The Big Bang Theory (2007-2019) who held a doctorate degree in neurobiology that was inspired by the actress who played her, Mayim Bialik’s, own doctorate degree in neuroscience. The character of Dr Sheldon Cooper, a genius and Amy’s boyfriend on the show, was having problems and said to Amy: Are you saying that my emotional troubles are no different than that of a stupid person? To which Amy replied: There is evidence to suggest that the less intelligent handle emotions better because they tend not to over think things. The government of Superextinctor City intentionally makes people stupid, without responsibility, so that they are easier to manage, control and manipulate. The Everymen in Superextinctor City are, as Hermann Melville described in his 1851 book Moby Dick, “a mob of unnecessary duplicates.”
Soulless, Godless Pods. Georges André Malraux (1901-1976) was a French novelist, art theorist, and minister of cultural affairs. Malraux’s novel Man’s Fate (1933) won the Prix Goncourt. He was appointed by President Charles de Gaulle as information minister and subsequently as France’s first cultural affairs minister during Charles de Gaulle’s presidency. Malraux asked the question of whether man in the Twentieth century can survive after God has died in the Nineteenth century. Superextinctor City is a Godless place, although they are two-thirds of the way to God as they make things “go” with energy. But the price is high as Superextinctor City has put all of us on the fast track to extinction as a result of mindlessly exploiting non-renewable resources. Not only are they extinctors, but they are going out of their way to stonewall the truth—making them superextinctors. As Nietzsche said: Man cannot bear to have a witness. Some go to Church although, as Kierkegaard said: The Church is a sham that makes a fool of God. Superextinctors prey on their gods rather than praying to them.
God’s Country. Mark Rypien (born 1962 in Superextinctor City, Canada) is a former professional football player who was a quarterback for 14 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He was the first Canadian-born quarterback to both start in the NFL and be named Super Bowl MVP. Rypien was asked if he ever went back to Superextinctor City, and responded that he went back all the time, believing it to be God’s country. But Superextinctorites are not God’s children—but are as Q accused Picard on the television show Star Trek as representing a dangerous, savage childrace—who treat God-given resources like found money. I had a friend with a doctorate in geology who believed it was his right to drill as many oil and gas wells as he pleased—without taking responsibility for the consequences. And that is the Everyman in Superextinctor City.
256 Years—Alpha to Omega. The incorporation of the first oil company in Canada occurred when Parliament chartered the International Mining and Manufacturing Company in 1854. Frank Fenner (1914-2010) was an Australian researcher who cured small pox; for which The World Health Organization declared his accomplishment the greatest humanitarian achievement of all time. In 2010 Fenner prophesied that mankind would go extinct within a hundred years because of overpopulation, deforestation, and climate change. That is 86 years from now or 256 years start to finish—representing the total time it will take for Canada to exterminate the planet. That is a mathematical fact in case anyone feels disparaged at being called superextinctor. Furthermore, I challenge all those able to publicly debate my arguments put forth here and on my website. Please contact the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Superextinctor City so that they may host our debate. I will take on all comers and will drop the gloves, metaphysically speaking, with civilized people.
Enforced Behaviourism. In 2018 the government agent Kristin Raworth alleged that Kent Hehr made a bad comment, supposedly calling her: Yummy. My Quadriplegic, Honourable friend Kent Hehr told me he never said it—And I believe him. But even if he did—So what?? The crime Raworth is committing against the children is a septillion times worse. Albert Camus (1913-1960) wrote: “I sometimes wonder what future historians will say of modern man. It seems to me a single sentence should suffice: He fornicated and read the papers. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted.” I sometimes wonder what future historians will say of Superextinctorites, Canadians, and Raworth. It seems to me a single sentence should suffice for them: They sodomized the children into oblivion, and played with their smartphones. After that vigorous definition, the subject will be, if I may say so, exhausted. But wait, there will be no future historians or future, for that matter, as the afore mentioned are assassinating them with their indifference to truth. When Socrates said that he who is neither good nor wise is nonetheless satisfied with himself, he was describing Superextinctorites, Canadians, and Raworth. When Socrates said that society attacks people early when they are young, he was describing adult Canadians who are raping the Kids by forcing the behavioural psychological model on them.
Behaviourism is a movement in psychology, psychiatry, and philosophy that emphasizes the outward, objective, behavioral aspects of human existence—and disregards inward, experiential features, and sometimes inner procedural aspects as well. Behaviorism supports determinism, and both contend that the environment is the only determinant of behavior—and that man has no freewill and no internal roots of behavior. Determinism asserts that all events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes external to the will. The behavioural and deterministic matrix omnipresent in Canada is a prison for our minds—and the psychiatrists, supported by the honourables and doctors, are its jailers.
Write an Essay. I have written over 120 1600-word essays—the perfect format for printing on one-page, two-sided essay paper. An essay is a try; it is a written piece designed to present an idea, propose an argument, express an emotion, or initiate a debate. I would argue that the Philosophy Magazine-style essays ought to be the universal standard for presenting ideas, proposing arguments, expressing emotions, and initiating debates. I challenge all honourables and doctors in Canada and all citizens of Superextinctor City to answer the arguments presented here, and on my website, with written 1600-word, Philosophy Magazine-style essays as PDFs, as well as extending invitations for public debate.
