Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance; Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history; Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level; Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.

The most critical skill to teach our young is to have critical thinking, even if they make mistakes. There's no need for more peaceful sheep.

bruh wtf I'm still reading through this

this was written before credit cards and he mentions wanting to know every random item everyone buys and how they want the credit card system

so they can literally "shock test" and find the breaking point at which "the aircraft (industry or companies you're buying from) will start to vibrate and disintegrate"

and then they'll do this again and again

to "show you" that those industries need communistic controls

and once they have communistic controls you can be exploited for cheap labour because you're too regulated to be able to make your own decisions

and he keeps intersprinkling like kind of crazy rants. this guy is not sane. keeps calling humans "inertia". wtf I'm offended

accuses humans of deserving this because they're inherently greedy but his endgoal is CHEAP LABOUR?! lmao

> When the government is able to collect tax and seize private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. A good and easily quantifled indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service

bond villains. every time
