Question: Is it necessary for you to surrender to some corporate machine your powerful need to be distracted by entertainment that tells you that you are a part of something large and grand that many others are denied? Do you even know what I am getting at? Are you awake enough to realize your craving to be close to a true hero, if not one? Study why you have always felt that need.

Ask, to begin, what is behind this craving that drives me before it is too late. Before time expires for the finite allotment to the purpose so dear to your heart. Before an explosion ends trendy America and you with it. Trends. I am this. I am that. See my hat?

I make this suggestion to catch anyone who hears me in a whirl of emotion so intense it cannot be denied any longer that will deliver that one to act to uncover what the corporate machine is betting you will ignore. Actually, its proponents are betting nothing is there beyond what is for sale at its happiness store. It just so happens there is something. It lurks in a closet you never look into. Find that place.

That something is so important that if you do not have it, nothing else matters, and, if you do have it, nothing else matters.

What is a fucking school? Not much. Mostly it is bureaucratic nonsense. Lost is the long ago wish to teach the students truth. Yet, you wear its colors and fly its flag as if it is your essence. It is a jail. A babysitter. An excuse to get you out of the way so your parents could make money to play at the table of trends then grow old and die. A school has nothing to do with learning, it hates learning. It exists to criticize and fail people and thereby to prepare eagles (remember?) to work for a living and be thankful for a job; to develop specimens to be sent into outer space as experimental objects of commerce; to develop professional athletes as sacrifices to the entertainment gods; to develop doctors to convince you that you have need for prescribed drugs and surgeries which are commercial bonanzas; to train lawyers to convince you that crazy laws are to be respected at all cost and to put on a show that tricks you into thinking you cannot possibly get along with each other without one. Doctors, lawyers, scientists, accountants, all operate by a secret language you cannot understand making them appear to know something you do not. It is only an appearance. Look through the veil. Every person since time began has known easily and readily that apples eventually fall from trees and that is a good thing.


All that is important is for everyone to understand is what humans have become. We are willing to give our very lives to serve a system that exists solely for the purpose of perpetuating itself. In all cases, the original purpose for each system has long ago been discarded as obsolete. Do not take my word for it. Look. See. If you are a policeman or firefighter you know this. If you are a teacher you know this. If you are a lawyer you know this. And so on and on and on. If you make coffee at Starbuck's you know this.
