Dunno if I should post this here, but some of the ideas I came up with on shrooms... I copyed and pasted out of an article im writing.
School rots your brain, law creates crime! And other things to twist your sense of reason.
Law creates crime: "If consequences dictate your course of action, it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught." That's a quote from Maynard James Keenan. I'm not sure if this is the context he would want it in, but it's how I see it. The first problem is that law can never be in complete control. They cannot babysit every person in the country. The greater problem, is that law essentially threatens people with punishment. Law says, "If you do something bad(whatever bad is) then something bad will happen to you. So people now think "I can't do that, it's illegal, I might go to jail." When I speed I worry about getting pulled over by a cop. Now what's happend is this fake consequence has hidden the real consequence. The real consequence for speeding is that I might crash and die, or kill someone else. Almost everyone speeds at least a little. Most people don't expect to get caught either. So since people think they can get away with it, they do it.
Law will never work, because law is forced. Law is enforced actually. By law enforcment officers.. They act under order from someone "above" or "higher ranking" (smarter? better?) than they. Whoever controls the law enforcment officers, essentially, thinks that they know what is best for you and best for everyone else. They claim ownership of certain aspects of you by telling you things you can and cannot do. What happend to equality? Laws are not passed by a majority vote of the people that will have to follow them, and even if they were, what about the minority?
It has been illegal to kill people for a long, long time. How many people have been murdered in the last hundred years? I can't count that high either. It isn't working. Here is a good example. When someone buys a used car from a private party, the seller will most of the time not disclose all the problems with the car. All they want is to get as much money for it as they can and do it as quickly as possible. That is deceptive and unethical, but not illegal. People don't have a sense of right and wrong anymore, because it is all about law. If you stole ten thousand dollars from a bank and completely got away with it, would you give it back? Prison or a fine are the only consequences on people's minds today.
Opiates are illegal, but there are a lot of opiate addicts in the country. Probably in large part because when people start doing them, they don't know that much about them, all they've heard is that they are fun as hell, but illegal. Opiates are known to be extremely addictive. If drugs weren't illegal then when people went to find information about them, the first thing they would hear is how addictive or dangerous they are (or aren't).
If it is possible for the cops to think for themselves, and for everyone else, then surely it must be possible for everyone else to think for themselves. We are all people aren't we?
You are not free, you are a slave. You were brought into this world without your permission. Then told you have to do everything your parents tell you to. Then, told it was illegal to kill your self. You are property of your parents untill you are 18. They can tell you what to wear, where to go, what to eat and even force their religion on you. Most people realize that is insane and don't go that far. Remember you are not your parents' child. You are your own. They may think they created you, but they didn't. They merely set you loose.
School rots your brain: You are a prisoner in school. If you leave the police will come after you. I have personal experiance with this. When you're in school, you must do exactly what the teacher tells you, or you can be called "defiant" and punishment will be issued acordingly. From the time people are 3-5 years old untill they are 18(usually), they are in school being told exactly what to do for 7 - 8 & 1/2 hours. Something like 275 days a year.. All the while being punished when they get bad grades and praised when they get good grades. Sounds like stupid pet tricks. People don't get to decide what is important to them untill they have been through 18 years of being told what is important. Not only 18 years, but the first 18 years.
School does not teach you to be independent. School teaches you how to be dependent. And law forces to you be dependent. School does not teach you how to grow food or build a house to live in. And even if you did learn, you couldn't do it without buying land to do it on. All land in america is owned by someone. If you are under 18 you are not someone. Now you have to spend 18 years learning uselss information so you can get a job to make money to buy things you could have learned to make yourself in about a year. Wow, then you would have had all that other 17 years to figure out who you are and what is important to you. You could have become a great musician or artist. You could have spent time evolving, people used to do that you know... Evolve. All you have to do to evolve is think. Think about whatever you want. Entertain yourself, explore. Evolution drives itself if you don't inflict rules upon it.
I don't claim to have a solution. If all law were lifted today, there would be chaos, which is proof enough for me that people are messed up. The current system will only make things slowly worse.
Fuck the system, and the so called land of the "free"
