On Wakefulness

Along with these insecurities, the baby also inherits the parents" expectations for the child. Sometimes, the potential genius that may naturally exist in a particular child towards a specific field is ignored and sacrificed at the altar of misguided preferences derived either from the parent's own misguided preferences or their interpretation of what is currently fashionable. Thus we start putting the child to sleep.
             Then, when the child is forced into the school system, this time he is subconsciously programmed to learn the virtues of patriotism, nationalism, Godlessness and other state-sponsored myths, such as the received understanding of history that may have been carefully crafted to put the child to sleep. During this schooling, part of the reason the child is put to sleep is for the benefit of those powers to be that have a stake in mass producing subservient and intellectually and spiritually weak workers to fit into their system. Also, during this stage, the physical structure of the school including the classroom and the method of instruction may contribute to the child's steady progress into slumber. This process continues throughout secondary school and then university, during which the child is brainwashed to adopt the tastes and lifestyles that will suit the economic goals of the masters of the horrible materialistic system that strangles our civilization. Each new logo or brand name that the child adopts serves as another injection containing the drugs that will cause the child to go into further sleep. Once this individual is ready to enter the unreal "real" world, he or she has now been successfully programmed to spend the rest of their lives in slumber.
