Outsmarting the allegedly educational systems

Quite a program…

In fact, would it be about outsmarting a certain order of things that has imposed itself across the planet for ages? According to the pairing of a perfidious human mindset, maintained and cultivated since the dawn of time: domination and servitude.

There was, of course, a reaction in the form of anarchism, which, through the negation of the power that certain individuals arrogate to themselves over billions of others by means of ingenious artifices—of which the fiction of money is not the least—claimed to be the highest form of order, and which today is nothing more than a shadow of itself. Even if a handful of holdouts, while railing against this iniquitous order, are nonetheless forced by necessity, like everyone else, to submit to it. A poor consolation it is to cultivate this noble ideal when one can no longer act, so tightly has the vise of constraints closed. And besides, doesn't the system—don't the systems—allow them to linger in their corner now that they have become so harmless? The observation is a little sad and may revolt some people, but is it not a fact ?

So what is to be done? After having lived through so many crises, even wars, on the scale of a single lifetime, should one still hope for the advent of a "new paradigm" that would finally make humanity "better"? At last…?

Should one simply accommodate the current excesses that this site, like so many others, echoes: dehumanization, eugenics, the prospect of enslavement under the yoke of artificial intelligences programmed by immoral individuals to destroy our humanity?

Should one reassure oneself by saying that one can always do one's little "hummingbird" part? A hummingbird is cute…

What resources remain to us to counter these powers of destruction and death?

Cunning? Yes — it will always be appropriate when it comes to evading unhealthy, even delirious injunctions such as those that prevailed during the Covid period. No advice is needed on this score. The individual whose consciousness has not been altered, whose brain has resisted formatting of every kind (provided, of course, that he or she was helped in this as a child — and that is the main purpose of this site), will spontaneously adopt the appropriate behaviour, will know how to decode the falsely benevolent messages conveyed by institutions, especially those that claim to educate. He or she will therefore know how to use cunning: to acquiesce politely while opposing a situational inertia; to lie, of course, but with precision and without excess, only in cases of strict vital necessity; to know, as the vulgar expression has it, how to "shut one's mouth" when the slightest expression of opposition could prove harmful. And, as another saying goes, "to think no less and do as one sees fit."

Always show reserve. Take neither institutions nor oneself too seriously. Dodge tests, controls and evaluations whenever possible. Always consider, when one is socially "in a position of responsibility," the interest of the young person or the child before imposing on them a measure contrary to their well-being or their flourishing (the masks during Covid being one example).

All of this is of a very general order, it must be admitted, but it should be meditated upon and adapted to the situations each person may encounter.

And above all, cultivate within oneself and in relation to the other — despite everything that separates us, isolates us, sets us against one another — cultivate within oneself that which constitutes the very essence of our humanity, so often spoken of throughout the pages of this site: that unconditional love of which the child, when he or she has not been perverted, formatted or psychically manipulated, bears witness through innocence, spontaneity and joy of living.
