Hanyo sense
Hanyo sense is the design of the hanyo universe, in which hanyo concepts such as law and money make sense. It is the opposite of Antisense.
Who is a hanyo?
A hanyo is someone who believes three things. These may be called the hanyo axioms, or Unconditionals, parallel to the Antisense Unconditionals.
1. Everything belongs to him, even Nature, the Earth and people. This belief is ingrained very early into hanyos through the conspiracy of care, and is built upon the earlier hegemony of the Old Men.
2. He must always win, no matter what the game or the stakes, and no matter how objectively unhappy this makes him as a consequence. Again, this is part of the hanyo legacy from the Old Men, but it also has a component from the hanyo disease.
3. He must never be seen to feel no pain, whether physical, mental or spiritual. He may feel pain in private, but only in front of people who are not potential winners, ie only in front of people who are victims or losers. This was also based on the physicological fallout of the hanyo disease, but also had contributions from the times and philosophies of the Old Men.
A hanyo need not have been biologically male, although non-males were liable to be challenged and defeated by males on the grounds that they did not truly have the right to call themselves hanyos. Such people, who believed themselves to be hanyos, or wished to be like them but were not granted full hanyo status, were called hanyobait, and were very necessary to the running of hanyo hegemony.
History of the hanyos
See also History of the hanyos.
The hanyos arose in the beginning of the twentyfirst century as a result of Male Hypertoxic Syndrome. Dr Pradip Shankar is largely regarded as their creator. As infants, they had hypersensitive skins and hyperactive immune systems, making it necessary to bring them up in strict isolation from human contact in special hospitals. As they grew, their skins and immune systems slowly lost their hyperactivity, but by their late teens they would have lost nearly all surface sensation. This in itself probably would not have turned them into hanyos, were it not for the fact that the sharp reduction in surviving male children led the male owers and rulers of the twentyfirst century to consolidate their corporate empires and put them into the hands of the hanyos as their 'heirs'. A big factor in this 'enthroning' of the hanyos was the guilt of their fathers over their sufferings, as well as the prevalent opinion fostered by Pradip Shankar that their disease was somehow the fault of their wayward mothers.
Up to 2050, many people resisted the hanyo takeover of the world, but events of the late 2040s such as the Helios Fail and the end of the Bitch Wars decimated opposition to hanyo power all over the world.
Hanyo town
See also hanyo town.
Hanyo town is the Florian term for the whole social structure built around the idea of hanyo hegemony and fitness to rule. By the 2040s, the hanyos had made governments obsolete and were ruling through the corporations.
