The Conformity Machine: How the Education System Shapes Submissive Minds
One of the main architects of conformity can be attributed to the education system, or more accurately described as indoctrination camps. The school system is an twelve-year government training program meticulously designed to shape young minds into fitting the mold of societal norms and preparing them to embrace their predetermined roles in the system. It is a calculated system intended to manipulate minds and suppress potential. These institutions instill a sense of loyalty to the status quo, discouraging any thoughts of rebellion or independence. They teach children to embrace the chains of slavery, rather than seek true freedom and autonomy. Anyone who dares to challenge the oppressive nature of human ownership is a threat to the system.
All children start out as natural free spirits with a highly experimental mind. They are naturally curious and have a innate desire to explore and understand the world around them. This drives them to ask questions, experiment, and engage with their environment in ways that promote learning and development.
Their minds are held captive, pawns in the grand game orchestrated by the state. Manipulated and molded to fit within the narrow confines of state standards by the powers that be, children are stripped of their ability to think freely. They are trained to rely on external authorities for knowledge and subjected to monotonous lessons, forced to memorize and regurgitate vast amounts of information like mindless machines, rather than engage in critical thinking or creative problem-solving. The relentless emphasis on standardized testing only serves to deepen the divide. Students are taught to prioritize memorization over true understanding. Another troubling aspect is the tendency to promote the parroting of opinions rather than genuine discourse. Students learn to align with popular opinions rather than engage in critical analysis of differing perspectives. This environment discourages dissent and the exploration of alternative ideas.
Rather than sparking a passion for inquiry, the system conditions students to prioritize passively absorbing and regurgitating information. Education has been reduced to a mechanical process, turning learners into mere vessels for information rather than active participants in their own learning journey. The system fails to nurture independent thinkers who dare challenge the status quo. Instead of encouraging exploration and critical thinking, students are suffocated by the weight of conformity.
Young minds are shaped into compliant citizens through a relentless cycle of repetition, obedience, and submission. The first lesson they are taught is one of blind obedience to authority, followed by the demand to work together in order to fulfill the objectives set forth by the ruling class.
They are indoctrinated to mindlessly follow repetitive routines, adhere to strict schedules and obey orders without question. Every word and action must conform to the expectations of their overseers, bound by rigid policies and regulations. They are even denied the basic human right to use the restroom without permission, forced to raise their hands just to speak. The sound of a bell dictates their every move, a cruel reminder of their subservience. The education system ingrains a certain behavior in individuals that's reinforced through rules, regulations, and laws that govern every aspect of society.
This instills fear of punishment, leaving individuals incapable of challenging authority or thinking for themselves. The child's behavior is dictated by the threat of imprisonment. An entire army of truancy officers has been enlisted to ensure that no child dares to stray beyond the confines of societal norms. The oppressive grip of authority tightens its hold, suffocating the spirit of rebellion. The walls of control grow higher, the chains of obedience grow stronger.
Freedom becomes a distant dream, and conformity is the only path to survival. It is a system that is nothing more than modern-day slavery.
The system turns a blind eye to homeless children, those living on the streets, and those suffering from malnutrition and hunger. But the moment a child fails to show up at school, the police are immediately notified.
The educational system deliberately omits crucial topics such as the nature of reality, the human condition, self-sufficiency, self-awareness, holistic intelligence, natural law, consciousness, growing, preserving and foraging their own food, natural remedies and health, shadow work and integration, and an esoteric understanding of the world and oneself. Instead, they are fed utter mindless nonsense.
Their free spirits, natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge are slowly suffocated, replaced by a strict adherence to state-mandated standards and societal norms. The spark of creativity and individuality that once burned brightly within them is extinguished. Their potential for greatness is stifled, and their dreams crushed under the weight of conformity. The state destroys their natural desire for first hand direct experience both exoterically, and esoterically.
At the end of 12 years of coercive state authority, the child is released into the world. Now that you are trained to do as you are told, now you can be free. The education system has molded them to blindly follow orders, creating a society that is conditioned to submit, obey, and conform. The chains of conformity have been firmly fastened, leaving little room for independent thought or rebellion. The cycle of control continues, perpetuating a culture of compliance and subservience.
15,000 hours of a human's life are spent sectioning them off from reality, leading to a gradual erosion of their organic essence.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, John D. Rockefeller and the Rockefeller Foundation, had an interest in shaping education to align with their ideals and to promote certain social values. They made significant contributions to education. This included funding for universities, research institutions, and various educational initiatives.
“The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence…Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians…and that is its aim everywhere else.”(H.L. Mencken)
John Taylor Gatto, a school teacher for 30 years, made a bold decision to resign, declaring, "I don't want to hurt kids anymore." He witnessed firsthand the system he was a part of and realized that the true intent of state schooling had nothing to do with educating children. The rulers understood the importance of controlling the minds of children. They knew that this control needed to be subtle, gradual, and insidious. Those in power sought to maintain their dominance over others while exploiting their productivity without sacrificing their own gain.
The sinister nature of this manipulation was laid bare by Gatto, exposing the intentions lurking beneath the facade of education. This revelation led him to write powerful works such as "Dumbing Us Down" and "The Underground History of American Education," shedding light on the dark truths of the education system and the impact it has on the minds of young individuals.
"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.” - John Taylor Gatto
If a group of children are taught to engage in certain behaviors regardless of what they want to do, then they will never fight back as adults. This is your group of citizens who will voluntarily give up their rights, autonomy and liberty. The result is a society of individuals who are programmed to submit to authority without hesitation. The chains of conformity may be invisible, but they are no less binding.
Will anyone dare to defy the system, or will they succumb to the tyranny that surrounds them? There are those who refuse to be shackled by the chains of the state, who dare to defy the system and think for themselves. It is up to us to fight for our freedom of thought, to reclaim our minds from the clutches of those who seek to control us. The time has come to break free from the chains of oppression and embrace our true potential. The revolution starts now.
“It isn't a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government's propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They'll fasten the chains to their own ankles.”― Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.
