From a pod life to a pod death, maybe the idea is to end up keeping you in one in between as well. You know, proper Matrix style with fields of pods, Farming, But Not As You Might Think in a way. With further speculation on that first phase in my articles Pod Life and Pod Life 2.
But the latest development, after the 2021 announcement that suicide pods were to be available for the new scheme of MAID being introduced in certain countries, has given it an even further sinister twist. If there could be an even More Than Sinister twist to something like that, but nobody should be surprised that with the times we are in, one managed to occur. The talk in the media is, the first person who used it didn’t die such a dignified and calm death after all, and looks like she was perhaps strangled to death instead as the pod possibly malfunctioned.
So, it could just be a case of equipment failure, and the profits are looking too good to go back to the drawing board, or run further tests, so it was rushed through, as so much is. And then someone intervenes to get the result required for the ‘live trial’, just not in the way it was originally intended. Or, the entire purpose of things like that has a much darker purpose overall, for killers to get their kicks, for there never to be a ‘victim’ who can say anything, and as so much is used for entertainment these days, the idea that someone else gets to view it seems wholly reasonable. Just think of all the nasty, horrible films and exposure in the news of terrible crimes that have come and gone over the decades, exposing a very real and dark thread that runs through certain peoples in society. They walk among us as they say.
But the bigger idea of growing people in pods, making them stay in there for their whole ‘life’ to be harvested for energy, ideas, body parts and whatever other soulless need has been invented, doesn’t seem so far-fetched anymore. My article Perhaps looked at the casually discussed idea of ‘Warehouses for the Living Dead‘, so it’s a very real idea and one that should disturb any normal minded person. Especially when you then see talk of growing babies in pods, and now end of life options also being offered to happen in pods. I can’t help seeing a pattern emerge, unless of course, it’s just a coincidence…
The latest round of destructive policies and taxes seems to have spared no one. Just in case anyone might have still had a few dreams or aspirations left since 2020. Farmers, landlords, landowners, business owners, employees, schools, students, and anyone who has anything they can deem worthy of taxing. I joked about them taxing us per breath or per blink a while ago, and honestly, if I think they thought they could implement it, they would.
But as schools, colleges and universities are where the initial conditioning and societal training begins, we’ll look at that. I have previously written about the ideas and effects of various ideas around it in Institutionalised, Scehuled for Learning and Your Digital Informer. Even though many things have been evident for decades about how the system is rigged, unsafe and not fit for purpose, the idea of what they once were for remains. Except now you don’t really have the benefit, and it comes with an awful lot of strings attached and small print. Teachers having more influence now than they perhaps should, not just in a child’s education for learning of basic skills, it seems now they are to be heavily involved in a child’s formation of self, and path that is expected to take. But the psychological separation of child from parent, is a mental one they seem to be trying to kick start at a very early age, and to be honest, there is a natural point at which children will do that anyway, but in a more fluid and organic way, even if they don’t have the most stable homelife. But to teach children things they have no real context for and may not even be age appropriate, from what appears to be a position of authority, is a dangerous game to play in my view. Overloading and overwhelming a developing mind, and then hoping to be the one to give it guidance when it has a multitude of other influences and input all going in is a bold strategy, and one I fear is set up to fail.
Which brings me to the question I ask myself these days, and have done previously as the landscape for employment and the future of industry has been changing. What is the point of compulsory institutionalised education? Is it to train the next generation of skills and workers? That’s what I used to think, and it did appear that it was it was there for, but as you look a little deeper into the history of it all, and how schools came to be, then it seems like A Rather Dark Enterprise like all the other places where they decided lots of children should be ‘groomed’ for the future. Separated from their parents for a good portion of their childhoods, to be educated by the people who have a want from it, more than just for everyone to be a capable, contributing, free-thinking human being. And the facade that we were working towards something logical, well, that has truly been dropped now, with a very haphazard system being swept in to overrun what was there before.
But even if you did happen to notice something wasn’t quite right, it isn’t always as easy as it might appear to just take back control of yourself and your family. Homeschooling is on the rise, but for years it was sort of laughed at, and stigmatised in society. I remember also being that type for a while, believing the hype that you have to go to ‘proper school’, you must do exams, you must go to college, and university to get the best shot at competing for employment and a life. But that’s just what you are told, to try and keep you in school and following that path of continued education for an awfully long time. Twelve years I think it is for standard education, or was in my day, now it might be fourteen as they were talking about raising the age for it. So, by the time you are starting to properly mature, you have spent a tragically long amount of time not being or doing what might have come naturally, or around people you chose to be around. Instead, you are moulded into something, by way of circumstance and forced guidance, and if you are lucky, a little bit of who you actually are gets to shine through in that journey. Now it’s become even more complicated for that phase of people’s lives, with lockdowns, sinister schedules to be administered, psychologically confusing material for them to assimilate and a very buckled society forming. And to be honest, I think that probably counts for everyone at whatever stage of life they are currently at, because it isn’t just at school this conditioning happens, that’s just the first phase. And that sinister and buckled society seems to be wanting us all to be locked in a room and seated for education, while they condition us for their ‘next phase’…
Everybody pretending, reinforcing the notion that nobody would like you as you are, because you aren’t actually being who you are. You’re being who you think you should be, or what you think people will ‘like’ or ‘approve’ of. Perceptions of Self looks at the idea of self and how we think we are viewed, and in turn, how we then perceive others. And another article currently underway, Seeing Yourself, also touches on viewpoints of self and how that may affect what we put out there for others to see.
But not everyone will like everyone. It’s just how it is. Kind of how people have likes and dislikes for fashion, food, and other things, certain people can be what they call ‘an acquired taste’ as well. Because we use our senses to judge whether we take to something or not, and for all sorts of different reasons we either do, or do not like something. It’s easy to just take off a jumper if you don’t like the feel of it, or to avoid food you don’t particularly like, and also can be easy to go out of your way to gravitate towards things you do enjoy or like. People are the same in a way, because you may not always know why you do or don’t want to be around them, but your senses tell you, it’s for you or is not. But it isn’t always as easy to avoid people, especially if you are related to them, work or live with them, or you aren’t in a position to be able to avoid them.
So, we do our best to work out whether people are being genuine or not, but do we give as much thought we whether we ourselves are being genuine? It is understood I believe, that people have what we might call ‘different versions of themselves’, where we put on different ‘hats’ as they say to get into the mindset of that required persona. Your work hat, your game face, your professional self, your party self etc. Getting ‘into character’ by way of outfits, general appearance and attitude. Be the best version of yourself is another saying that pops up, and one that does indeed capture the meaning I guess of what I am saying. Because to be the best version, it would imply there is more than one version available.
But being ‘comfortable in your own skin’ is a term I have heard over the years we well. My article Getting To Know Yourself looks at the idea of how perhaps you try to find out who you are. These days, it seems more important than ever to know what and who you are dealing with. What they are, and what their motive and intention might be, as well as your own in these deceptive times…
