So what is next?
As shown by my thread of the “Suicide of Anthony Bourdain”,
that the reaction to my thread was not about an honest reaction to
his death but an reaction based on the myths, biases, habits,
prejudices and superstitions that people were indoctrinated with
as children. The people reacted in the way they reacted because
they is how they were indoctrinated in childhood…
I was portrayed as being “lacking in humanity” and “patronising”,
but it is not my statement that people were reacting to, but
their childhood indoctrinations…
Their prejudice is that we don’t speak ill of the dead, and we
don’t attack those who have killed themselves…
and we accuse those who do so as “lacking in humanity”.
Now Bourdain is a coward for his suicide but what matters is not
his death but your response to that statement. Am I right?
It doesn’t matter because of the childhood indoctrinations
that one has received…….
One reads of Romans who killed themselves when ordered
by the emperor or killed themselves to escape punishment
or being captured……
It is the same act, but because of the myths, biases, habits,
prejudices and superstitions of the two cultures,
the act, the exact same act is looked upon differently…
is treated differently, is responded to differently……
even the method is different and which method is used
is understood differently…….
so we, because of biological rules, must act similarly.
We cannot act any different biological then we can act.
The biological rules prevent us from doing so.
But the social rules are different and allow us to act differently.
But because of society rules/ need for structure, the society
has rules/structure that society puts into place for its own
survival. We are limited in several different ways…
we have biological rules/structure that we cannot disobey
because to survive we must follow them.
But the social rules/ structure in place for us, can be and must be
examined………
So how do we become more human despite the social structure/rules
that want to limit us to certain roles and actions?
Being limited in such social rules/structure is a constraint against
us becoming more human… why is this important?
Because society must have citizens playing certain rules for society
to survive… if enough citizens fail to play their roles, just like chess
a game, society descends into chaos and no longer functions…….
But those roles, the structure is forced upon us by societies
need for survival, not what is actually best for society or what
is best for the individual, but what is best for society…
and which aspect of society decides? why that is the ones
who own the means of production, the ones who
own…….so it is in their best interest to keep society
and individuals to keep their place, their role within society…….
the ones with the most to lose, are the ones who make the rules
because they are the ones who have decided what has value, something
they have a lot of, which is money. The value of society which is money
is determined by those who actually have money…… not the poor or
the ones who have decided that money is not that important……
This is a cultural decision, not a biological one…
and this is why we must have a reevaluation of values…
our current society, our current culture is based on money
because those who have money have made it so…….
we can change that to where the myth, bias, prejudice
and superstition of society need not be about money,
but about personal growth or about learning who we are
and what are our possibilities………
We are bound to biological rules but not bound to
social rules………and what is best for us socially is not
necessarily best for society………… and we are punished
for not obeying society………. recall, the single worst
crime in western society is disobedience… recall Adam and Eve.
And the pressure society puts on those who disobey…
in my job, I can only be fired for two things, one is stealing
and the other, surprise, disobedience…………
and obedience is taught throughout our society…
think back to your schooling, where disobeying your
parents, teachers, authority figures, the law, means punishment……
in society’s eyes, the greatest crime against society is
disobedience……
but that is a negative… what is a positive that society can teach us?
only by a reevaluation of values can we understand this………
only by a reevaluation of values can we operate society
from an positive values from the current negative values of society…….
only by a reevaluation can we begin to discover who we really are,
not just by the biases and myths and prejudices of a society that
that has only its interest in mind and not your interest in mind…
we must begin to reevaluate to escape the confines of societies needs
and begin to discover our needs, our best interests, our real values, and not
just the values we have inherited from society via their indoctrination from
childhood……….
we cannot become more human biological but we can become more
human based upon a reevaluation of who we are and what are our
possibilities… and we can create new rules, new myths, new biases,
no prejudices and new superstitions that match our current reality,
not just the need of society……….
