Thoughts and Musings
I’m again struck by how toxic the basic assumptions of civilization are at their core. All acceptance and support are conditional. Civilization believes that you must provide value to justify your existence. It is not enough to provide for your own existence. You must bow to the King and add to his treasure room, and help to build his palace and his mausoleum. You are expected to pay for the privilege of being born into bondage. And if you choose to live outside this system, you will be attacked. You will be driven from your beds by the gendarmes, criminalized for standing and doing nothing, Loitering and homelessness are villainized. We are expected to describe ourselves based upon how we sell our labour. “What do you do?” as a question literally is asking how you have managed to pay for your own servitude to the great machine of civilization. Prince to pauper are all trapped together in this vast prison, although for some the accommodations are obviously better. But is that really all we want? Better accommodations in a prison that will inevitably drive us all to extinction in its mad quest to consume the whole world.

So what do you do? Well personally, I have put my energy into finding the cracks in the prison wall. I have put my energy into determining a path out. I don’t think I will likely myself escape at this point, the process of finding the route to freedom has taken me too long. I am not doing this for others, younger and with more energy and optimism.
