The Unicorn

Imagine that there is a segment of the population that denies the existence of the unicorn. There are “experts” in the field of science, philosophy, and history which categorically deny the existence of the unicorn. Surprisingly, the evidence suggested purports that there has never been any empirical evidence supporting its existence. No one has ever seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted a unicorn. Scientism denounces the idea, let alone the existence of the unicorn and in fact, scientists consider those who would believe that the unicorn exists, would be deemed to be psychopathic. Without mercy, those that believe in the unicorn are laughed at, scoffed at, ridiculed, and basically called names which are slanderous and rude. There are others who would commit believers of the unicorn to psychiatric institutions. Still others, would persecute those who believed in the unicorn by mental and physical abuse. Perhaps, at some point in time those believers might suffer penalties or potentially be incarcerated for their beliefs because the majority simply could not tolerate those who would impose their fallacious view of the unicorn on others. They could be silenced and their views as well because, promotion of their views of the existence of the unicorn could potentially affect the children and society as a whole. Even though, some supporters of the existence of the unicorn could be viewed as non-extremist, the fact that they could even exist in society, could pose a threat to others. Perhaps, the “final solution” could be the systematic elimination of all who believed in the unicorn and with the additional decree that no further talk of the unicorn would be tolerated by the society as a whole. Constitutionally, it does not matter that one has freedom of speech because the belief in a unicorn is so preposterous and offensive that those individuals simply could not be granted nor defended in any constitutional manner. There must be a systematic, consistent, and deterministic effort to dissuade anyone from speaking or proclaiming the unicorn to another human being. This type of belief system is seen as racist, bigoted, and contrary to any diverse, cultural norms of the present, modern-day society. The belief in the unicorn must never be taught in any school system which would jeopardize and radicalize those younger individuals who would be irrevocably harmed by believing in the unicorn. It doesn’t matter, if in some part of the universe, the unicorn would and does in fact, exist. The unicorn does not exist on this planet, nor has there been any evolutionary evidence of its existence. There is no archeological explanation that could justify the unicorn. From a philosophical point of view, there are no arguments which could satisfactorily defend the existence of the unicorn. From an epistemological viewpoint, knowing that there could be the unicorn does not necessarily correlate belief with reason. There simply is no basis of fact for believing that the unicorn exists, only in the imagination of some deluded individuals who could impose their ridiculous views on others. It would be as ridiculous as believing in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy or Humpty Dumpty. It’s evil and vicious that some would stoop to trying to convince others of this unbelievable belief. Something must be done. Laws must be enacted. Perhaps, these individuals should be asked to leave the country, jailed or at the worst “removed” from society. The worst fear would be a resurgence of belief in the unicorn where, if spread, could degrade our post-modern, post-truth, multicultural, and diverse society where the mere thought of the unicorn is repulsive, derogatory, and divisive. Society cannot be totally free until the complete eradication of unicorn thought is systematically removed from everyone’s mind. It’s perverse to believe that years ago, some individuals “conceived” the idea of the unicorn and brought it here to a free society where the very thought of it is intolerant, intrusive, and offensive to the overwhelming majority of individuals living in this free society. There must be a Supreme Court ruling for the total abolishment of unicorn thinking or said individual would have criminal proceedings brought upon him/her. It’s unfathomable that there hasn’t been more uproar from those communities which are directly affected by those who would propagate the existence of the unicorn. Radicalized factions in our societies should defend and protect citizens who are proselytized by these unicorn believers. One could not possibly imagine that this could happen in America. Yet, it does. How idiotic can these individuals be? This is an era of scientific enlightenment which is the ultimate authority when it comes to proving or disproving the existence of the unicorn. Seriously, how stupid can one be? A unicorn? What’s next, God?
