We are useless by definition. It is what holds our society together. It is what keeps it all going. It is the hallmark of our slavery. Our uselessness. It is what keeps us divided one from another so’s we can’t join together. Similarly it is what makes us work against each other… and so on…..
It works like this:
In the beginning and for millennia the human and pro-human creature was always part of the tribe in every way at all times.
Whatever the tribe was doing everyone was there, the children were there.
The children were always in the workspace and learning the work of the tribe because tribal work was done by the whole tribe with children included.
Hence everyone in the tribe knew they were part of the tribe and part of the work and building and making and gaining and therefore never doubted their inclusion, their belonging, their membership and never felt estranged and never felt in doubt about having useful ability.
Contrast this with our ‘modern’ system. Now we are NEVER part of the tribe. The tribe is too big. The tribe has no common actions. The tribe has no common goals. Within the modern nation ‘tribe’ it works like this:
The child is reared in basic isolation in the home where it is useless. At all ages. Useless. Useless for two reasons:
1. The home is not a workplace, the home is not making/building/gaining anything, going anywhere. The home is essentially a retreat, a resting place, a feeding and sleeping place, the work, the ‘getting’ and ‘gaining’ and ‘tribal effort’ is elsewhere. Hence there’s nothing to be a useful part of.
To wholly engage in the activity of the home it is logically only necessary to engage wholeheartedly in rest/feeding/sleeping/idling. Children who do this are told, though, that they are ‘useless’ !
2. At virtually all ages the child is unable to contribute to the getting of the home – the only real ‘work’ attached to the home. The child has no money, no skills. Hence they cannot buy a home, cannot build a home, cannot pay the rent or mortgage – cannot contribute to making this shelter.
Useless at home. By definition.
Then the child goes to school to be educated in the ways of the tribe.
Here the child is clearly ‘Useless’ again. The work of the school is teaching. The child knows nothing. The child cannot teach. Hence the child is useless.
Filtered through this lens is the view of the society as a whole. The society views the child as useless.
We all begin our lives as ‘useless’.
This is tacitly agreed throughout our society. ‘Useless’ and ‘Dispossessed’.
We have no utility to the nation, we are, of ourselves, worthless, and we have no rights in the land, we own nothing, we have no right to a place to sleep.
We will spend our lives gaining these things: ‘usefulness’ and ‘a place’.
The most primitive natives in the world have more than this.
That uselessness will persist until ever we can gain paid employment. You will be essentially useless in the eyes of your society and yourself until you have finished school and have obtained various documents of education achieved and perhaps various documents of skills obtained AND gotten employed.
It is crystal clear throughout the education process at all levels that the objective is to create a child with the ability to get a ‘good’ job. Because until this goal is achieved the child is essentially ‘useless’.
In the eyes of society, the nation, and in the eyes of the educators and in the eyes of the parents and – inevitably – in the eyes of the child itself.
Useless at home from the very beginning and throughout.
Useless at school from the very beginning and throughout.
Perceived as useless by the nation until slotted into a job.
Contrast this with the traditional/natural way of development of human individuals.
What enormous difference must there be within the individual? How different the emotional basis, the psychology, the directions of the intellect?
To always be an integral part of, to join in, be useful, be included from the very beginning and throughout ones life as against never be part of, never be inherently useful, never be completely safely accepted.
Is it any wonder natural peoples – that fraction of the ‘indigenes’ of the world that still have contact with the old way or an instinctive leaning that way – and our peoples cannot see eye to eye?
It is the difference between a whole and healthy man, solidly grounded in membership of his peoples and a neurotic slave scrabbling for a living in fear of being thrown overboard.
