The flip side of ‘I am responcible’

There is a flip side to I am responcible attitude.
Depression.

A person with the above attitude will be in deep depression when he sees exploitation of his self and his family and his society at large by the social overlords- the media, the burocrats , the army and the muscled farmers.

this is a sad tale. Das Kapital revisited.

Tyranny

Chomsky says ‘all forms of tyranny ultimately collpase’
people chip away it it, and it finally collapses

problem is- when one looks bak historically- everytime one tyranny collapsed, another one came up.

and after WW2- the tyrants have moved from physical tyranny to tyranny of the mond- control of ppls minds.

in the past they used to colonize the people, now they use advanced methods of Edward Barenys – like
1. debt indenture- keeping ppl debt slaves
2. manufacturing of concent – the methods of goebbel to make ppl feel as if the opinions they have are their own, when in fact the opinion is planted in ppls minds by the media- tv ,noosepapers – what to buy, wht to watch etc.
3. keeping ppl’s creative side supressed. by making the creative a matter of laughing stock

On Education

Education is a ‘Forced Ignorance’ [Chomsky]
I agree. I am in deep despair over the education system.
The daily hauling of the kids in buses. The horrendously ignorat dweeps who teach the kids. The general dde-intellectuliazation of kids.

I can see 3 major treands
a. TV/and its masters – the media triangle – Banks, Home Builders/White Goods manufacturers and the financial institutions – they have trained the entire kids generation to “Compete via Consuming”

b. The schools are teacing kids ignorance. They are teaching kids that their own opinion about anything is useless. That only the experts know. A belief system is being installed- that helps the social overlords – the bnks, the home/goods makers and media.

c. Very deliberate attack on the creative capablities of the individual – an attack that forces ppl to NOT create. And to become passve consumers

In the past- kids used to compete on creativity. now they compete on consumption. he who can conspicuously consume more is better.

what to do ?

Groups in society.

Of late i have been wondering about groups in society
Farmers/Tillers
Army
Bureaucrats
Merchants
and finally – the Artisans -the craftsmen

Since i belong to the artisan clan, i have wondered about my fate. Are artisans in any way, better off than tillers.

On the face of it – tillers seem to have all the advantages. They get all the girls. They hold all political offices. They have brawn. They control society.

But artisans have other senaky advantages. Artisans get to work in the shade, they get to use their intellect so they can get away without brawn. They are the tool makers for everyone. so ppl need them. they dont have to work as hard as the tillers in adverse weather conditions [kheti ka kaam aur bhado ka ghaam]
the ppl who made the most money int he gold rush were the tool makers- the spade and sieve makers. the artisans.

The Burocrats need cheating and deception skills- thats how they live
The Army needs war-mongering skills- that how they live- by creating wars, and then ‘fighting’ them, Of course, they completely destroy the society [economically and demografically-the young die] in the process.
