The Technolution. That’s my term for what we are experiencing today, so-called modern solutions, with quantum leaps in our culture and technology, introducing a revolution of inter-related ideas, inventions, and lifestyles.
And the Technolution has
stolen our children.
It seemed like a good
thing, as it gave them access to infinite information, instantaneous
entertainment, thrilling games and intellectual advancement. We watched and
approved as they chose to sit still and be good, and focused on the fledgling Technolution,
rather than go outside and raise hell. One day they cared for little else. We
told ourselves they were preparing for the world of tomorrow.
Nobody could have guessed
the ramifications of the Technolution, since there had never been one like
this. We told ourselves that technology was just like life in general, there
was good and bad. It would balance itself out.
Now we know better. Our
children only know and love the Technolution. And we and they are screwed.
But maybe we can save a
few. If you are a millennial,
understand that the reason I write is the extreme sense of loss I feel,
watching your generation lay down for the slaughter. You have no idea what I am
talking about. You will some day.
The Technolution is just
man’s most recent invention for self-destruction. We have had numerous such
debacles in our history before. Massive, powerful cultures have once reigned on
the earth, only to fail and leave barely a trace. And why?
Man invents, then he
indulges in his invention and then he enjoys the profits from it. Then he burns up like a pine
needle. In every great, world-dominating culture, it was success that brought
about the arrogance and narcissism which led to ultimate failure.
Here is how it has gone
down, every single time:
But soon, after that
happened, the people in this society decided things could be even better. With life
so perfect, they became intolerant of imperfection. They began to dislike work,
or trouble, or unpleasantness. The workers became lazy and having plenty, ignored
the fields and workshops. The rich began to travel to visit new lands, and find
more cool stuff to buy. The children refused to learn the trades of their
fathers. They liked to hang out at the local tavern and sing and drink wine and
have sex with their friends.
Remember, this was pre-Bible.
Remember, this was pre-Bible.
Nobody thought about the
future. It seemed to take care of itself, or at least it always had. Everybody focused on themselves for a change. Marriages
began to break up. Men were unfaithful to their wives, divorced women were
lonely, and made sex into a toy to win attention and gifts. Soon they were trading
sex for goods. The children of these malcontents were even more revolutionary.
They saw no reason for permanent sexual partnerships. They saw no reason to have any more
children, and take away from the fun they were having; Let somebody else do
that.
One thing led to
another, and as people are, and have always been, they created a perfect
solution.
The children brought in
less-fortunate laborers from other, less prosperous regions. They found a way to get the work
done, without having to work. They could hang out at the tavern, while the
little Hindu guy watched the sheep, milked the cow and fed the pigs.
The richest people, who
had travelled around, found marvelous products in far-away lands. They
purchased these and brought them home. Many of these products were inferior,
but they were cheap and now everyone could abandon the workshops and hang out
at the tavern, sing and drink wine and have sex with their friends.
This behavior was of
great concern to the old people, who saw a gradual breakdown in the social
structure, beginning with the major modifications in their customs and beliefs.
Popular opinions shifted with the new lifestyles, and wrongs became right.
But with all that sex,
and nobody working, there was soon a population explosion, and a food shortage.
Babies would be the ruin of the country, with all the mouths to feed, and the
time it took to nurse and raise them. Nobody wanted to do that. Then certain
people suggested that if there was a god, she would like it if sometimes people
sacrificed a human being to her. Or him, whichever. Early cultures were
matriarchal and worshipped gods and goddesses.
Anyway the people
accepted this logic, and began to thin their families this way, and they made
their bloodthirsty god very happy. Others thought this was cruel, to kill
babies, so they avoided babies altogether. From now on, men would have sex with
men, and women with women. This would allow for population control, stable
family economies, and unlimited sex for the men, which made them very happy as
well.
Soon this land of prosperity
was very peaceful and serene. Everyone was either sleeping, or singing songs,
or reciting poetry, or resting, or playing games, or napping, or having sex. The
land enjoyed a collective confidence in the status-quo. Meanwhile the workers
in the fields made a good crop.
Nobody was paying
attention, but while the people indulged themselves in every whim, the laborers
were establishing themselves. They built homes, purchased farm equipment, got
married, and raised children.
Lots of them. And in
short time, the rich, successful upper class had become a lethargic,
unmotivated MINORITY of bottom feeders. They were arrogant and condescending, and
could never imagine anything but what they had always known. And decadence was
swift and irreversible.
Suddenly, the original
culture found themselves unessential, unproductive, soft and basically
expendable. And the imported workers, they were in total control of the
country. They took over the whole economy as their supervisors were afraid of
them, and the overwhelming, hungry, capable working class inundated the once
prosperous land, and made it their own.
The elites; the thinkers
and traders and poets and prostitutes and homosexuals and entertainers and rich
people just stood in amazement. It happened so fast… they never thought their
selfish choices would have come to this.
Lack of discipline and not
having children, had devastating effects on the stability of the mother culture.
It had failed to replace itself. It was a dead-end society.
Over the next few years,
many of the elites gave up on elitism, leisure lifestyle and homosexuality and married
into the imported worker’s families, saving themselves by amalgamation. But
many more left on boats, to migrate west to lands where they could take what
they could and try to re-establish themselves in a more hospitable place.
And strangely, over a
few centuries this amazing culture, known today by archaeologists as the Pan or
Harrapan civilization completely disappeared. Of course, this is my
interpretation, given human proclivities, and my study of ancient
civilizations.
IF one cares about
survival, their children or their legacy. If one cares about its own race.
In every case, from Egypt, to Babylon, to Greece to Rome, and even
to even Israel, the sudden blossoming of unprecedented
prosperity and leisure time, and the abandonment of traditional concepts of
right and wrong, AKA moral absolutes, led to utter destruction.
And America is doing it
now. But the big difference, is there is no place else to go. As the Eagles
song, “Grand Design” says, “we have got to make it here!”
Many of you have heard
these histories and parallels before, and might be tired of them. But I figured,
why not take a shot. If this generation was entertained by Abraham Lincoln-
VAMPIRE SLAYER, IT MIGHT CONSIDER ANYTHING.
Even the truth.
