Anarcho-capitalism

One of the primary reasons for the articles that this author writes is to attempt to inflame the mind. Many people just sit around and blindly take in bits of information without actually parsing that data or attempting to verify the validity of the information they receive. This author abhors that mode of living. A human being is, essential, a rational creature. No other creature on earth is capable of rational thought. Rationality separates man from ape and man from tree. The thesis behind this article is simple: Life is a thinking man’s game.

Anyone who goes through life without really engaging his mind is not really living. Today in the United States the NEA is breeding an entire population of animals. Animals are incapable of rational thought and that’s what the NEA is attempting to turn the children of this generation into: animals. Schools no longer teach or educate because they are too busy indoctrinating. If a student thinks Jesus is Lord then he is to be shown the light. If a student thinks homosexuality is wrong then he is to be shown the fallacy of his thoughts. If a student thinks having sex with every girl and boy in his class is good then he is held up as the pinnacle of “education.” Students are not allowed to have moments of silence, to pray, to discuss God, to disparage Muslims or homosexuals, to proselytize, or to think. The teacher knows best for the student not the student or even the student’s parents.

Modern life is going to pass by without the current generation of children being able to think. The public education system is broken beyond repair and needs to be abolished. Private education, where teachers are held accountable for students’ achievements, is the model to be followed. Parents vote with their dollars. If a school is not providing their child with adequate education then the parents choose another school. If a public school does not provide their children with an adequate education then the parents are free to… complain. The NEA protects the terrible teachers, however, so the school can’t fire an incompetent teacher. A parent can’t move their child to another district. The public system is not free. It is repressive and wrong.

A child that cannot think is a child that cannot survive. A child that becomes an adult that cannot think is a travesty. This author constantly hears “arguments” that are made by adults that bear little semblance to rational thought. Logic is no longer taught in public schools because logic implies an absolute right and an absolute wrong. Contradictions are unacceptable and rules are meant to be followed. The state of the modern mind is such that rules are meant to repress and absolute right and absolute wrong are relics of an unenlightened past. The only absolute is that there is no absolute. This contradiction is acceptable because there is nothing to imply that contradictions are wrong. What applies to this author does not apply to the reader. These are not rational thoughts.

Language is another tool for the modern indoctrination. This author has seen many people misuse language to attempt to sway audiences. Governments and states are not the only entities that misuse and redefine language in an attempt to turn an audience. Those that are anti-state do the very same thing. Language is a precious thing and words have meaning. When people constantly use language as a tool to indoctrinate instead of as a tool to communicate, then the language becomes meaningless. Some use “tolerance” to imply acceptance when the word has never held that meaning. Some use “coercion” to imply a universal negative when that word has never held that meaning. Some also throw around the word “paternalism” as if it were a bomb and fail to realize that the true meaning of the word does not always imply a bad thing. Still others use “racist” as a club to hit anyone who dares to question a person of another race. Likewise “xenophobic” is used without any regard for the true meaning of that word. When words cease to have a real meaning then words cease to be effective for communication. When communication ceases then rational thought soon follows.

Life is a thinking man’s game and animals need not apply. If a man wishes to live life in an ignorant stupor than he has that right, but he should not call himself a man.
