and i am suggesting that maybe (by experience) that this isn't true, you get to choice what you want to study, but after that, the game begins on your life/liberty, meaning, from that point on, you will be tested on whatever is the institutionalized truth, it could be pro-females, anti-gay, pro-black, anti-minority, pro-white, anti-black, it could be a number of things that are going to be tossed at you and the like, just to "test" you as a game, it's like the movie that Will Smith played, I never saw it, but I saw an older version of it, in which some rich men played god in his life and toyed with him, all awhile, he's homeless with a child. It's like that, it's as if they don't really need our production, what they want to do is see who can take what and how much of it. that's why you see so many talented/gifted/educated/degreed people without jobs, it's not the inability to do the skill, it's the GAMES that you are now thrown into, the working class literally are the gladiators of the Roman Empire, thrown into tiny or harsh battles to see how we handle things that have nothing to do with our skill or ambition. we are like pets and treated like that until they tire of us and then, it's game over.
you're skinny right? let me tell you are social system of today, remember the pyramid, the one were the base is at the bottom and that represents the majority (black culture understands exactly what i am saying and about to say, they just aren't talking on this board about it), well, that was the past, now, you have to invert the pyramid and see that whatever was considered "top" or "the right thing to do or act or talk or walk" is on the bottom going down, that is the majority who followed the rules but put into the exact opposite situation and see if they pass or fail.
so, people are being put into "social exercises" to see what they do or what they say; so, if you want to be whatever, doctor, attorney, etc., your life maybe a series of "issues" that seem like the inversion of a pyramid.
i heard of folks say this before, and i use to just chuck them as nuts or trouble makers or nonconformist, but that was when i was being trained in conformity, right way to think, act, talk, walk. and then, thrown into situations in which people start to TEST to see how you behave under so many types of circumstances it's ridiculous.
i worked on a project one time, and we had a guy who was racist, you know me, if he doesn't touch me, he's fine with me, if he doesn't bother my liberity, i don't care if he thinks i'm skinny, fat, tall, short, blah blah, he has a right to his mind, it's his mind, not mine. well, i got into trouble, but it was moreso, a group trouble, not work trouble. the group was out to teach him a lesson, and i wasn't in the know. he inadvertantly forgot his diabetes meds, and he was about to die, and so, everyone was sitting around slowly figering what to do, and i was upset, someone then told me he was racist, and i asked if someone could call 911. i offered him my lunch, only after asking anyone white if they would offer their lunch to him, they all just kept away. i offered him fruit. and before i gave it to him, i told him that i know he is known to be racist, and i do not know the reason(s) why, if it's parental or social issues of the past, but, here is fruit and i didn't poison it (he started laughing) and i told him that i am not giving this to you b/c i am black and wanting your gratefulness. ok, so, after that happened, i was kinda an odd duck. so, guess what happens a week later, a black guy (he was into black culture and that was how he identified himself), he stared eating salt everyday and he had high blood pressure. NO BODY CARED, NOBODY. if they did, they didn't say anything to me about it, and i was so angry, one day at lunch, i told him that if i caught him with salt, i would pure water all over it and soil his salt-snack, and i asked him why was he doing this and that he can go to HR if he wants, that he was killing himself, and he started to tear up, and he told me he would stop eating salt and i made him promise to me. but see how this stuff ironically pops up, it's so like, testing people.
at my other job, i had someone write a bad note on my door, i knew who it was, and yes, i am part asian, but it was an Asian lady who was a bit of a socialite and was into stomping any female she wanted to, and she figured me to be whitewashed and didn't like me really, well, i threw the note away but some folks, esp. some blacks, felt that if it were in return, and i did that to her, she would be without mercy, i told them I KNOW, i grew up with a dad who looks kinda black, and did things to me, and his other kids; and if we were merciful, he punished us harder, he didn't believe in empathy at all, nor forgiveness. so, what these folks don't know is that i was already in a very abusive home, with a parent playing "test' games and punishing in a severe way, and sometimes in a counterintuitive manner, meaning, he would flip it on us and turn the dials even harder, he was just that way, very controlling, and it was all about control, what he said, even if it was counter-intuitive had to be obeyed and if we wanted purple, he gave us pink, and if we wanted tall, he gave us short, he would win our friendship, and pretend as if he was our friend, and ask what we wished or thought, and would give us the exact opposite. and we all started talking and comparing notes and realized who he was.
and to go thru this same thing in the work force, it's really something that isn't unique to me, and yes, it has me wondering what's the purpose of a career or following any institution at all?
