Work Buy Consume Die

It's Friday.

Here's something to chew on over the weekend.




Break the chains.











Unlearn.

Relearn.

Free your Self.








See that ant? That's me, that is.

For so many people born to an existence devoid of ability and capability for intelligent behaviour this world is OK.
It's we poor schmucks with a modicum of interpretative thought but little power over the masses at one end and the Bilderbergers the other, that are squeezed.
It's no coincidence that Stalin, Pol Pot et al murdered the intelligentsia first!

OR,

As usual, you are spot on.

Research tells us that educational standards have fallen to an all time low. I don't blame the teachers (well, not entirely) because they just teach what they are told to teach.

So the inevitable result is that we have what the government needs: new, but dumb cash cows entering service every year. They don't want a nation of Einsteins: they will organise the "brain pool" themselves. They just need tax fodder. The more the merrier.

In fact, Albert Einstein himself said "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."

And perhaps more germane to the point here, he also said:

"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
