I think it's pretty clear eugenics. They want to get the exact mix that will produce the ultimate low-but-not-too-low IQ unquestioning slave race

What is so fascinating about this is the fact is is pretty openly out there, but it is so absurd that it is hard to believe it.

For many it is inconceivable, that certain inatitutions are openly set up to cause harm. Schools are a good example. Even by the most optimistic estimates it only serves to create good consumers and if want to look at it in a more dark way it certainly makes atomized ghouls without creativity, cursiosity and critical thinking who are just emotionally react to anything and follow what the authority says.

Of course in a historical perspective it makes sense, the ruling classes always were doing crowd management and not in the favor of the ones they ruled over.

I am kinda ashamed to hold these views.

Schools are a good example.

Schools seem almost purposely designed to keep you off balance, by creating a situation in which constantly context-shifting throughout the day and never able to really dig into the meat of any one subject. It creates a superficial mindset. I've seen suggestions that each day should devote several hours to just a couple of subjects, which would be a partial solution to the problem, but then I suspect that would bring focus on the other, larger problem with schooling, that the prevailing system mostly manages to hide, or at least minimise.

Schools are filled with retards. They disrupt the learning of smarter kids, but learn nothing themselves because, no matter how much you cater to the lowest common denominator, no matter how much you hold back the smartest kids to maintain the illusion of parity, you will always hit up against the same problem: they're retards.

The solution would be dividing classes by intelligence and capability, but that's offensive to stupid people, so it's not done. The result is a bunch of under-stimulated smart kids who spend their days being bored and disrupted, who act out because at least that means they're doing something, a bunch of retards who get frustrated because they can't keep up with even the simplest of lessons, and a bunch of other levels in between who can't learn because everyone around them is hooting like hyperactive chimpanzees.

Universal education was originally conceived by people who realised that a well-educated population is more productive. Educate people to the level they're capable of and they will have more fulfilling and productive lives. The problem is, over the years, tabula rasa - the idea that all children empty vessels into which knowledge and behaviour can be poured like water - has become the prevailing belief in the education of children, while a requirement to instil conformity has become the desired outcome of education. The result of this thinking is that everyone can be educated to an arbitrary level, when that's patently not the case.

I don't have a solution to that. It's difficult to think outside of the box on this because the idea of universal, academic education as a net good is so deeply instilled into our culture that the alternatives seem confusing and weird.

Let's not forget the fact that Schools basically take away children from their parents and communities, stopping both bonding and culture transfer. While the current decay of community is really a complex one, it is possible to point out several things that work against families and community forming.

These concepts show themselves to what they could be more easily if we ask questions and fundamental assumptions.
For example: Isn't it creepy that the state can take away your children, and force them to be educated for decades. If it was done in an ancient time it would be listed as a thing of tyranny. The colonial US had a relatively high rate of literacy and the books they have read were more complicated than what the average folk reads now. I mean Thomas Paine's Common Sense sold like 100-500k in a place with a few million population, many of them are un-ironic slaves. Maybe the classical education aka Trivium method had some cred.

John Taylor Gatto had some good ideas about the subject.

He had seven points he has discovered that he is teaching in school.

• The first lesson I teach is confusion.
• The second lesson I teach is your class position.
• The third lesson I teach kids is indifference.
• The fourth lesson I teach is emotional dependency.
• The fifth lesson I teach is intellectual dependency.
• The sixth lesson I teach is provisional self-esteem.
• The seventh lesson I teach is that you can’t hide.

At least I can understand the "sjw" and soyboy crowd better. They can be smart, I mean they have university degrees, but they were purposely trained wrong, as a joke. So they ended up being atomized emotional reaction machines that are totally predictable. Most of has to struggle with this legacy, for sure.

I think children should have more access to actual communities and their families as well as letting them get experiences in life. Having this rigid system of killing agency, curiosity and making sure everybody is on the same level sure makes good workers, soldiers and consumers but they make low quality human beings especially ones that are supposed to operate and thrive in a complex world that is a republic as well.

Sure, Intelligence plays a part, but being taught how to think help as well. The Elites have not only money, but extreme social capital and information/education advantage. The normies don't even have friends and neighbors they hold close to themselves anymore, so they have to rely on the Economy or the State to do basic functions. I sure wish I wasn't dumb as a box of rocks so I could really put down my thoughts coherently.

Re: communities.

They no longer exist as your 50 person community used to be who you saw and interacted with on a daily basis. Now your 50 person community is an ever changing group of people online, from all over the world, with different backgrounds and experiences that can't relate to you, nor you to them.

How is a kid meant to get a bearing on the world when he's bombarded with American Propaganda and Americanisms, while not being an American? (for example)

This is the crux of all the issues we are facing today. Be it economical, cultural or mental health related.

Spoiler: cultural rant

Simple, you will be endlessly cynical and dissatisfied. Organizations and groups too have feels on some level, and they can really just lose their confidence to exist. It happened in the Eastern Block, beside the economic downturn there was no "socialist culture". By all means you were just a western consumer with less goods. When your framing is that it is self evident that you will go with the system promising the most product. I think this is what happened to legacy Western culture in the last 60 or so years. Like, why even exist? No reason or need for that.

Smaller cultures and groups are bound to die in a war of cultural attrition, especially since nobody takes culture seriously in political circles. Hell, if you go with old ways of thinking even the products, buildings etc. you are making are part of your culture. If you are just an assembly line for others and don't have your own brands you are not a real culture. lol Global standardization takes that away too.

I don't have anything against the American people, this is just a matter of production and market disparities. And the fact that people forgot that they can choose not to buy things. Basically the Anglos had a lot of money and enough internal market to develop more advanced forms of media. Similar how Japan's language barriers helped to create their Video Game and other cultural industries. Imported computers simply couldn't display their characters. Neither the Japanese who were into American imports like Disney and Hollywood movies could replicate them and access the American markets to sell those. So they made their own internal market thus culture was formed.

I think most human activity comes down to 3 things: curiosity, necessity and habit.

Curiosity is daring to think outside the box. This can be both the the emotional and rational part.
Necessity is having to do something, because if you don't who will?
Habit is conforming to the patters you and your group always did.

Neither part of the triangle are there in many smaller groups.

• People can't imagine making their culture, in fact have no clue what it even look like outside just emulating the past or painting patriotic slogans on it.
• You don't need to make music, memes or anything because there is an overproduction of those things and thanks to hauntology no cultural forms of the last century really died.
• And people are used to import products, they just consume those. It doesn't matter that lip synch never works in anything neither the cultural references due to only watching dubbed American movies. Even authors needs to take up an Anglo sounding name because writing under your own name is cringe, and who would read a book from your country.

This is especially bad for languages, why even speak your own language when English exists? Instead of inventing or adapting words you just start to add them as they are.

The big problem with schools is that there is no way for a teachers to seriously punish children who misbehave other than asking them nicely. The worse punishment is removing them from class which is a reward if anything else.

So the retarded children will never ever stop disturbing the class and hurting the students who aren't diligent enough. It's better to give physcial punishment for retards so they'd at least learn to be quiet rather than just doom them for a worthless existence 10 years down the line.

In general the world seems to advance away from the ideals of meritocracy into outright aristocracy where the only important thing is that your parents managed to put you into the right school rather than you managing (or even being able) to claw yourself up into your own achievements.

I think metrics became the goals. All they care about how many people attend schools and for how long. That is more easy to increase than quality of education. With their logic with all the college graduates we should be living in a big brain world. Instead requirements got lowered so more people will be able to pass through school and spend more time in them.

This is a possible logic behind for example, quotas. Sure you increased the number of "X" employees but you didn't properly taught them how to do that job. Why is that even a goal? Beside something that is looking good on a Power Point presentation (are people still using that?) and it's easy just to say in one line. We increased X employment by Y%!

We still live in a society of quantity not quality.

The big problem is that the quality is the one thing that justifies the existence of western countries, developing countries have more quantity and are catching up in having quality to match the west. Also, from what I gathered the USA also suffers from very low quality teachers who use the classroom as a lectern and either alienates or brainwashes the children.

The brilliant neo-liberal economic plan is... Indians and other Asian immigrants will do the smart jobs, the manufacturing is outsourced to Asia but we in the West will mostly just make money by selling hamburgers and loans to each other. It is not a sound economic plan. It's the macro economic equivalent of start up/tech companies living from more and more stock market investment while losing money. Most people are only meant to be filler who do pointless jobs and consume product.

The whole educational system and teaching craft has both a recruitment and a leadership problem. You basically have activist cat ladies going to be a teacher, while the people making the curriculum are true believers in whatever social fad is out there.

In general the education systems is being treated universally across countries as a sacred cow. Nobody questions the fundamental assumptions, just want to put more money into it.

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley, claims "Critical Race Theory is important," links "white rage" to Capitol riot on January 6.

Wikipedia has this to say about Mark Milley:

"On December 8, 2018, President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Milley to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, although Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford favored Air Force Chief of Staff General David L. Goldfein for the appointment. With Senate confirmation (89–1) on July 25,he was sworn in on September 30, 2019.​

​

After Milley was nominated, he headed a commission with other American military officials that were responsible for designing a report on the country's impending near-term impacts from climate change. The report, which was released in August 2019, stated that the country and its military would experience a total collapse within the next two decades due to collapses in the country's aging power grid and food supply, as well as the increased risk of infectious disease outbreaks globally. The report also mentions the likelihood of increasing water scarcity in developing countries, which would result in an increase of civil and military conflicts due to a failure in the global food system.​

Literally describing the whole "Great Reset" agenda.

I like that thought with language, it’s very common that modern technology will have an English name in other languages, like television for example.

How digital identity can improve lives in a post-COVID-19 world

Industries from travel to health to education will recover more quickly if solutions once primarily associated with the finance sector are harnessed effectively.

www.weforum.org

It is worth reading.

The World Travel and Tourism Council predicted in November 2020 that 174 million people could lose their travel-related jobs that year alone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To re-boot the global economy and re-connect society physically and virtually in a new reality, people will need to engage physically and digitally with public authorities and businesses.

Totally not because the Government closed down the economy.

Human-centric digital identities: an enabler to rebuild economy and trust

Human-centric, digital identity lets people know who they are dealing with without revealing more than the strictly necessary information. Digital identities give the user control of their data – they provide clear audit trails and streamline how businesses and governments allow people to register and access their services and trade. It has great potential for online education, issuing employment credentials, fighting fraud or proving one’s health status. Digital identity was often confined to the technology community or banking’s Know Your Customer checks and to combat money laundering.

Digital identities give the user control of their data. Sure thing fam, I am going to believe that.
Thanks government, the one who destroyed the economy in the first place, to allow people to access services and trade. How very generous.

With our digital footprint extending into all walks of life, digital identification is becoming a global topic. A healthy digital identity network widens civic participation and supports societal advancement, a case in point would be the Estonian digital identity approach, which allows the nation’s public and private sector e-service information systems to link up and function in harmony.

No it's not. It is just being forced on humanity, top down. No debate, no alternatives, nothing.
I don't mind Hitler or Mussolini much, but wouldn't the public and private sectors functioning in harmony be... fascism, at least in the conservative sense?

The risks of doing nothing

The cost of not pursuing digital identities is high. Being able to digitally prove claims is vital to enable paperless, contactless, streamlined processes across public and private sectors. Sadly, COVID-19 has shown many cases of fraud applications for grants from bogus organisations, selling non-genuine tests to citizens, setting up fake companies or enlisting fake directors to harvest data. In the UK alone, Policy Exchange estimates that fraud and error could cost the government between £1.3bn-£7.9bn ($1.8bn-$10.8bn) in 2020.

Contactless, this is my favorite neo-buzzword. Humans are icky, eww. I keep hearing this all over the place. Who asked for this? Nobody!
Bonus point: If you want to hear where the social engineering is going, just listen to the TV commercials. They are all over this word, "you can receive your product in a box, contactless delivery."

Thank you for making a picture why "DIGITAL IDENTITY" is a horrible idea. I let to have fever dreams about the implications of such a system.

Governments around the world are spending huge amounts to bail out economies due to the impacts of COVID-19, looking for GDP gains, streamlining economies and decreasing fraud. Digital identity enables all this, as well as robust testing regimes, opening travel and work places. The value creation of digital ID is equivalent to 3-13% of GDP by 2030, according to McKinsey.
So what needs to be done?

• Frameworks may have to be rewritten to enable digital forms of identification to be accepted at parity with physical ID documents.
• Policymakers need to be able to move as quickly as the technology and times in which they live. Data protection authorities must offer sufficient data protection legal bases to enable biometric digital identity to function.
• For citizens to trust and be willing participants, organizations must take the time to contribute to the global dialogue between trust frameworks and explain their models clearly. Innovative thinking is needed to enable citizens of all backgrounds to participate in this digital public infrastructure.

COVID-19 had no economic impact, Corona-chan never said, "bro you can't just open your business".

Notice the lack of plan B or any alternatives. Also thank you for mentioning that this digital identity is biometric. All the better. It reminds me of the cretins who use their face or fingerprint to unlock their phones. Bravo, now all securing cameras know how you look like. lmao

It is a ramble, but It's all so tiresome. I am so much a neo-luddite compared to what I was a few years ago.

McDonald's UK stealth-pulled Chicken Selects (Tenders in Ameriland?) and all chicken wraps (that are made from the same chicken selects) due to a 'shortage', and while the papers have been running with the story, McDonald's have been fairly quiet about it.

The other year KFC ran out of chicken due to changing suppliers and posted info and apologies all over. Yet McDonald's is quiet.

Is this a knock on effect from the Covid caused chicken shortage, a backdoor way to introduce more vegetarian, vegan or big based Selects, or both?

I'd lean towards supply-chain issues. covid restrictions will be part of it, but the effects of leaving the single market are also still filtering through everything. There was a lot of arbitrage in the egricultural sector, with food and animals being transported back and forth to cover different periods of demand in different parts of the market. Now we're out of that, we'll be seeing gluts and shortages at superficially weird times until producers balance things out again.

I don't know BUT I do know there's a new "chicken" strip they're running ads for like gangbusters on the devil box. They're called Incogmeato and the tagline is like, "are you chicken?" (to try them, get it, haha!)

I'm starting to think David Icke had it right in his book, The Perception Deception.

I see those all the fucking time. It's made by a company called Morningstar Farms that already makes super processed meat substitute. I guess this line is to target stereotypical dudebros? ("What, afraid you'll like our Healthy Plant Food brah?")

I looked into this a bit, since I thought Satan was referred to as, "Son of the Morning Star," but I believe the verse you are thinking of is Isaiah 14:12. Depending on the translation, the verse refers to him by a couple of different names including: "Day Star", "Lucifer", and "Morning Star". After that it goes on to refer to him as, "Son of Dawn," "Son of Morning," etc. depending on the translation. I seem to remember my Bible teacher talking about how a verse indicated that Satan had some similarities to God, but had an eerie light or something along those lines. I believe he was referring to this verse. Also, I believe this verse is supposed to be Isaiah, (although I'm not certain), speaking to the king of Babylon, but it seems to be widely accepted that it's also referring to Satan. Additionally, Jesus is referred to as, "the Bright Morning Star," in Revelation 22:16 (ESV), which also brings it back to how Satan has a similar glory to God.
