Greetings good citizen, how bizarre is it that life is like a cattle drive that we experience from the perspective of the cattle?
HBO released its reimagined version of Fahrenheit 451 last night (significant for being the kindling point of paper) and it raised the conundrum of why didn't the hopelessly stupid simply eradicate reading altogether if 'knowledge' was bad?
We are all taught to read but because there are gaping holes in our education, comprehension is about where you'd expect it to be when you only know a fraction of the whole story. In some crucial instances, just enough to be 'dangerous'.
Then there's the flipside to an illiterate society, who would maintain the technology? So we have the disturbing spectre of an educational system that strives to make YOU a 'functional idiot', smart enough to keep the rails greased but stupid enough so as to not ask why.
Ever wonder why they kept switching teaching methods? That's what they were after, functional idiot.
Like the ones that don't question the 'knack for making money' explanation taught to them regarding the thieves who run things.
What 'knack' is that? Remember when your history teacher brought up the subject of the Robber Barons and headed off the question of why is that legal...missed that day, eh? Well, it goes like this: Teacher stands in front of the class and slowly explains that if all of the money in the world was gathered up and handed out equally to all of the adults in society, the people that had money taken away from them would, [because they had a 'knack' for making money] get it all back (and then some because profits are inevitable...or theft, pick one.)
What's the 'between the lines here'? It has nothing to do with knack/talent and everything to do with market position. If you 'own the store' people have ZERO CHOICE but to do business with YOU (or travel to some other owner's store with the keyword being 'owner'. If you don't own, you don't get! LUCK has nothing to do with it but you have to parse that out for yourself because our educators will lose their license to teach if kids go home and tell their parents "Teacher taught us Mr. store owner is a thief!"
Doesn't matter that it's true, they'd tie a can to your backside and you'd never teach again!
Capitalism isn't about commerce meeting society's needs, it's about myths, BS and some serious criminality.
Because of the, er, 'outcomes' produced by capitalism ARE [not 'could be', not 'sometimes' and not 'occasionally'] criminal, they don't want anyone questioning the process [lest the offenders be prosecuted for their transgressions.]
So we are 'taught' they are 'lucky' and have a 'knack' for making money that other people don't have...and it's impossible to teach (because truth is most of 'em are *born to it at some point in the equation. [*Born to it = Trust Fund/family wealth.]
The rich are rich because they own economic chokepoints...end of discussion. Luck or knack has nothing to do with it.
So what's this got to do with funnels and cattle drives?
Naturally the 'funnel' is rhetorical [making it no less real.] Your existence is a pack of lies stacked on top of one another to distract you from the fact you are being 'bilked' to keep the few living in the lap of luxury.
Stupid has reached ridiculous levels [a revelation to no one] because people have been fed a steady diet of BS to keep them on the treadmill that will squander their lives upon trying with every fiber of their to 'comply'.
[If you got no MONEY then you just ain't no good!]
So we stumble through life paying as best we can until we can't anymore...then it's devil take the hindmost!
Is that the lesson of 'King of the Hill?' We are predators bent on besting all comers [and it's a good thing they are ALL dumb!]
Control the narrative, control the game. [That's why it's good to be the 'God of the book'!]
Don't miss my point here, I'm talking about humanity as a species and if putting the screws to our fellow humans is the best we can do then we don't deserve [nor will we] survive.
If we fail to rein in the feckless who think treason is a joke (there's a reason treachery carries the death penalty) our species will vanish and good riddance to it.
An empire built on loyalty both survives and thrives so long as that loyalty is to an ideal and not an individual who only cares about themself.
Most of you foolishly swear fealty to your 'god' (the almighty $) and it will end you sooner than you think.
Repent or pay the price your 'god' demands of you...
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
