yeah, idk
wasn't the goal to just be able to live a good life, free form oppression?
how did it turn into all this?
People redefined "oppression"
people have it too good
OH
which reminds me
i'm not a fascist or anything...
but
You're off to a great start
kaden's pretty fashy tbh
i've been toying with the idea of a culturally mandated vision quest or something
something that gets kids to be self-reliant
because i think a lot of our problems today come from kids being too soft
Oh, I was thinking like DMT infused neo-Catholicism
lol
i mean we already have scouts
Yeah, I was a boy scout
but that kinda is fading
i dont know the solution, but i think it's a problem nonetheless
like, is it necessary for people to know struggle, before they become productive?
what will people be like, when there is no struggle?
i think everything will fall apart
Or we could have Stratocracy, unironically.
Only those who have struggled for their citizenship can vote
the kids will not know how the machine works
The children can continue being children
no, lol
they will get curious
and fuck around with shit
like kids do
that is why tradition is so important
I meant the overgrown children we colloquially call 'adults'
this applies to them
Can you explain? What will they fuck around with?
the structures that would be in place
i guess i should go back to what i was saying
yeah, sorry
the point i was trying to make, is that you cant create prosperity without also creating complacency
so that eventually, if society keeps improving, there would be some sort of imperative to keep the youth in check, and to teach them the value of what they have.
without that mechanism in place, they will end up,through ignorance, destroying the system.
so what i was talking about earlier was a need for some sort of program to combat that
Yes, I agree.
Thing is, you can't 'fix' everyone
right
