rats
So I think this is where I dont fit in.
Somehow I've been convinced that change is possible.
I am beginning to realize that this idea has not come in an acceptance of our government or judicial system.
Nor has it come in the form that I feel was taught to those that came before me and similarly those who have applauded the steps I've taken thus far in my "career".
They argue that there is a formula. That certain methods will reward, or provide you with the changes you seek.
I wonder if they have thought about the very element they try to achieve.
I wonder if they thought the changes would bring about change.
So now Im here. With this sudden realization that I've been fighting.
Like "they" have been holding my head under water...waiting for the changes to occur in me. Waiting for me to buy into the formulation that we've all been taught.
Do you wonder? Cuz I wonder.
and supposedly Im smart. And thats what they've been saying since I was in the smart kids class in elementary school.
Do they train us? Are we supposed to be preconditioned? And what happens when we veer off the tracks?
Do we realized that we've been brainwashed? Do they seek us out and try to keep us from exclaiming to others our newfound wisdom? Do they have a task force to keep in line the smart kids that "disappear"...maybe they take us to some hidden, underground prison and make us police the internet or provide some other government function with wires tapped into our head and computers monitoring our every thought.
Its like we're the test rats that get out and form our own union...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...Smart Kids Gone Bad.
I wonder if there's some collective out there of smart kid rejects who shook themselves out of the daze of bullshit, the daze of the promise of a substantial future, and awoke to the realization that we're all fucked. But some of us are programmed so we dont realize we're fucked.
Maybe if we just shut up and accept the programming we'll all be ok.
Or, maybe we're not supposed to have hearts, or passion, or true talents that reach far beyond whatever they'd like to program us to do or think.
Dont you wonder if it was Mozart who was programmed, or if he was an escaped rat that started a revolution. Do they model programs after escaped rats? Probably some of them...maybe the ones that dont know any better.
Escaped Rats:
Malcolm X
Basquiat
John Cage
Benjamin Franklin
Shana Fried.
There is nothing that exists if it doesnt come from an original thought. Because everything else is recycled bullshit. And the programmed ones are the ones that enforce that train of thought. But what is an original thought, if it doesnt stem from a thought we've been taught. Or deciphered through the language that we've been taught. Can we have original thoughts without having them be tainted by the petri dish that we're contained in? Can i get a breath of fresh air from outside the fucking petri dish?
ANYWAYS, this began as an introduction to the idea that MEDIA is the new GOVERNMENT. After all, government (while easily infiltratible and contaminatable) was supposed to be created as an outreach of the voice of the people...and this institution was most likely corrupt long before it was ever enforced...but that was the idea. So, can you imagine how media and marketing and provocation can be a STRONGER method of regulating the thoughts that exist within the petri dish?
After all...its much more accessible and very easy to decipher in this day and age. For some reason, all the old white men who run the country decided to stick with a tired, stuffy and frankly quite boring method of ruling this country. YA, it makes it a lot easier for them to maintain their status, but it also allows for a lot of cracks in the system. NO ONE FOLLOWS GOVERNMENT. the "people" have no fucking clue whats going on...so I cant help but wonder what the fuck im doing here. Maybe its to learn the way they think in order to overturn..."dress and act and talk like them, then fool them at their own game".
But wouldnt it be cooler to use the "common people's" tool: MEDIA and overturn the old ways.
So, in addition to the religion I'll be forming, I've decided to recruit youths and escaped rats to overturn so TV can be our new government.
