America is just organized and categorized. This makes people easier to control. Subcultures, once you program people to think a certain way you can predict their reactions. Control.
Lol yes! You've just described a cult, a particularly brainwashy type of religion. I'd argue that some religions are "true"(or lies) but then we'd have the messy task of defining truth
what if.... cults are everywhere?
CULTure
AAPL
MSoft
Linux
even families are cults.
The only way to not be brainwashed is to know brainwashing techniques and to continually ask yourself, "am I brainwashed?".
how many people ask that of their families?
At what age does the questioning begin?
Me.... age 9.
Which is probably why I did so terribly in school. I instinctively knew that most of what I was being taught was pure horse manure. Idealistic conjecture at best, propaganda at worst.
would you say the education system is a cult?
I think modern science has become somewhat of a cult and public schools are a propaganda arm. You're not being taught to be curious you're being taught to obey and repeat.
regurgitation is the key.
How accurate one can spew back the propaganda,
also a measure for state of cult.
This is Pinocchio when he goes to school and he turns into a braying donkey. Scientists are like prequal Jedi, priestly class(however well meaning) who brainwash children into clones.
and rewarded accordingly (rising thru ranks) for number of clones created.
No I think it's deeper than that. They didn't mean to do it, it just happened as a result of their fear of losing the "arbiter of truth" status.
once clones all meaning for 'self' disappears, authority of self handed over to a 'body' of authority.
Meaning is misconstrued during that process.
I remember coming to Descartes'(what if I'm just dreaming all the time?) conclusions very early on my own. I was a pretty sharp little kid, top scores on logic tests and crap.
first there's asking the question, then there's sourcing 'the truth'.
So, unless you feel the truth with your available yet limited senses, everything is hearsay and speculations.
OP_RETURN or it didn't happen!
That's another really really interesting attribute of Bitcoin. It makes historical truth available and easily auditable. Pretty soon scientists will have to "show their work" on chain.
as proof, timestamped with a record of the environment at that given time.
Well, when the environment is realised as a factor that shapes results.
Is it possible to search content that has been posted on chain? I would like to see BCH soon store more data than Google.
Searching content is possible if you running own instance of memo, then you can do sql commands to find things ;)
Occam's razor (select the solution with the fewest assumptions) will always take you back to "I think therefore I am". Everything above that necessarily requires some degree of faith.
`i think therefore thoughts are arising`
The only truth you really know is what is in front of you at this moment in time. You have no idea whats happening next room, next door, let alone somewhere else in the world.
I think like any concept, its a framework, and then people find thier own truths within it. Theres no ultimate truth. People seem to like to follow frameworks.
