Orc World: When the Language Brain Takes Over

The orcs in the Lord of the Rings are artificial creatures who are ugly, smell bad, and are toxic to nature. There are many movies or TV shows that use a similar theme to depict the Leviathan System Run Amok. The Borg from Star Trek or the Stormtroopers in Star Wars are just two examples. The citizens in Matrix world, the Cylons of Battlestar Galactica, and the clones in Bladerunner are a few more.

Orc world is the one where the human created system takes over from nature--where accountants decide the monetary value of trees. It's where the feeble symbolic processing center of the brain tries to remake the world in its own stupid image.
